บท 331: There Was Snow in the Lane at the Beginning of New Year

The military counselor's body was burnt to ashes in the courtyard, while the snow on the flagstone gradually melted away around the human-shaped island, under the effect of the weak fire talismans once mentioned by the deceased with such contempt.

Ning Que stood aside in silence and felt satisfied with his former performance. He was not aware of his Eldest Brother's happiness for him in the Winter Courtyard of the General's Mansion.

Ning Que had never expected the military counselor Gu Xi to be such a powerful Talisman Master that he could tear the Qi of Heaven and Earth apart into numerous broken turbulent flows. Gu Xi had used at least thirty Fu characters, yet it was incredible that these Fu characters didn't interfere with each other. Faced with the long-cherished preparations of the enemy, Ning Que withstood it in the most straightforward way. He had faith that he could crush all plots with his strength, and he was satisfied that he made it.
