Song Shuhang looked dumbfounded. “What happened?”

The White Dragon’s gentle voice sounded in Song Shuhang’s mind. “Don’t worry. It’s the aftereffect of directly observing the principles of the world. They’ll wake up after some time. Other than their mental energy having been greatly spent, and their eyes being blind for a while, there shouldn’t be any more aftereffects. Hm… At most, they will have lost some of their recent memories.”

Observing the principles of the world? That sounded like something quite grand!

Song Shuhang asked, “How long will it take before they wake up?”

The White Dragon’s body turned back into her dragon form, and she replied, “Maybe several hours, but it could also take them several days.”

“…” Song Shuhang.

He went to Sixteen’s side, and said with a smile, “We got her to wake up during the Immortal Feast with the help of the mirage dragons, but she returned to being unconscious not long after.”

He bent over and picked up Sixteen. He didn’t know if it was just him, but Sixteen felt a lot lighter after having become a dragon.

Afterward, Song Shuhang transferred himself into a room inside the Palace of Winter, and placed Su Clan’s Sixteen on a bed. He took off her shoes and socks, and laid a blanket on top of her.

Sixteen, who was asleep, instinctively turned over, and rolled her body into the blanket until she looked like a spring roll.

Song Shuhang smiled. He took out his phone, and took a photo of Su Clan’s Sixteen, who was all rolled up.

“It’s not a good habit to take photos secretly like this,” the White Dragon said with a smile. Song Shuhang said, “Ahem… Sister White Dragon, you stay here and take care of her. I’m going to move the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group into some rooms so that they can rest.”

The White Dragon said, “Let me help you.”

Song Shuhang said, “Alright.”

He and the White Dragon returned to the entrance of the Palace of Winter. He then bent down to pick up Soft Feather.

Soft Feather’s weight was about the same as it used to be.

On the side, the White Dragon stretched her body out like a rope, rolling up all the members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group on the ground before lifting them into the air. This also included Loli Shi and Fairy Lychee.

At first sight, it looked as if all of the members of the group were tied together by a rope, similar to prisoners in ancient times being escorted somewhere.

“…” Song Shuhang.

With the help of the White Dragon, he arranged every person into a room in the Palace of Winter. Fortunately, the Palace of Winter was big enough to accommodate all of them.

The White Dragon asked, “What about the other guests of the Immortal Feast?”

Song Shuhang said, “Let’s move them to a big room.”

He didn’t have the time to arrange all of the guests of the Immortal Feast into their own separate rooms.

And so, the guests were moved in large numbers.

Finally, it was the turn of the Eighth Stage Profound Sages.

Song Shuhang looked at Sage Monarch Winter Melon, Sage Monarch Three Weeks, Sage Monarch Blue Phoenix, Sage Monarch Enchanting Dream, and the other Sage Monarchs that he had yet to meet. The White Dragon asked, “Should these people be given special care? They are Sage Monarchs, after all.”

Song Shuhang pinched his chin, and said, “Wait, I have an idea.”

“?” The White Dragon.

Song Shuhang remembered that he had promised a few Profound Sages that he would fight them on the 10th of October above the Forbidden City.

y.

With his sense of existence now restored, he had no idea if these Profound Sages would recall the appointment.

When he was still half-invisible, everyone’s memory of him had been very messy. There were some people who could remember some things about him, while others could not remember anything at all.

The several people in front of him were all Eighth Stage Profound Sages. With their strength, they had a good chance of recalling the appointment he’d made with them on the 10th of October.

If they really were able to remember it… Wouldn’t he be beaten black and blue from having to face several Profound Sages?

As he thought about this, his liver began hurting

Song Shuhang felt so exasperated that he actually wanted to become invisible again.

Senior Thrice Reckless once said, “One always has to face the bitter consequences of their death-seeking actions.”

And, Soft Feather once said, “Before seeking death, one must be ready to bear the punishment.”

In the end, he would have to take responsibility for his actions, even if it meant shedding bitter tears.

Seeing the Sage Monarchs unconscious, Song Shuhang had a sudden idea.

According to what the White Dragon had said just now, there was a chance that aside from being blind for a period of time and consuming a lot of mental energy, those who had fallen unconscious would lose some of their recent memories.

This was simply wonderful for him.

Song Shuhang clapped his hands lightly. “Before these Sage Monarchs wake up, I could leave some evidence on their bodies.”

The White Dragon said, “Young one, your thinking is really dangerous.”

Song Shuhang responded, “Cough… Sister White Dragon, I just want to take some pictures and use them as evidence.” The White Dragon said, “What are you going to do?”

Song Shuhang chuckled, and replied, “Sister White Dragon, you just wait and watch. Alright, let’s start with Sage Monarch Winter Melon. After all, he’s an old acquaintance of mine.”

After saying that, Song Shuhang willed it and moved himself, Sage Monarch Winter Melon, and the White Dragon to the Inner World’s Sword & Saber Peak.

This was one of the fragments of the Ancient Heavenly City that the scholarly faction had given him.

The Sword & Saber Peak wasn’t its original name. The scholarly faction had given it this name after acquiring it.

On the Sword & Saber Peak, there were powerful sword intent and saber intent that had not scattered even after tens of thousands of years. These were the remnants of the battle between a peerless sabersman and a peerless swordsman of the Ancient Heavenly City. The saber intent and sword intent left here did not target outsiders, and merely entwined the mountain, just as if they were continuing the battle between the sabersman and the swordsman.

Song Shuhang transferred Sage Monarch Winter Melon to the Sword & Saber Peak and had him lie on a rock.

Then, he snapped his fingers. Song Shuhang Two appeared and grabbed Song Shuhang’s phone.

Song Shuhang said, “Choose a good angle.” Song Shuhang Two replied, “Don’t worry. Leave it to me.”

Song Shuhang stepped on a black lotus and started floating in the air.

After thinking for a while, he had the virtuous lamia appear behind him.

The lamia cooperated with Song Shuhang, and put on a dignified expression.

Song Shuhang crossed his arms, and stared at Sage Monarch Winter Melon as if he had just emerged victorious from a battle. Brilliant light of virtue was released from the lamia, increasing Song Shuhang’s dignity.

Song Shuhang Two said, “Main body, I don’t think that this is enough. Request Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword to come out and activate the Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique.”

Song Shuhang said, “We can’t do that. This is the Sword & Saber Peak. There are peerless saber intent and sword intent clashing here. If I activate the Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique, I might end up getting targeted by the intents left behind here.”

Song Shuhang Two said, “Then, how about summoning the Holy Apes in order to increase your momentum?”

Song Shuhang responded, “Hmm, I can do

that.”

In the next moment, 21 Ancient Holy Apes appeared behind him, each holding a Scholarly Scripture. One big ape and 20 smaller ones were arranged in an arrow-shaped formation, with the big ape positioned at the forefront. They recited scholarly scriptures, increasing Song Shuhang’s momentum.

“Great, this looks a lot better.” Song Shuhang Two gave a thumbs up. He looked for a good angle, and took several photos. “Beautiful. But… I feel like it’s still a bit lacking,” Song Shuhang Two said.

“Let me see.” Song Shuhang descended from the air, and took his phone to have a look for himself.

In the photo, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song looked mighty, with black lotuses at his feet and the lamia and the Holy Apes supporting him from behind.

Meanwhile, Sage Monarch Winter Melon was lying on the rock like a salted fish.

Without the need for any verbal description, all those who saw this picture would probably think of the following: (Profound Sage Tyrannical Song defeats Sage Monarch Winter Melon at the Sword & Saber Peak).

With this photo, if Sage Monarch Winter Melon were to ever mention the appointed battle, Song Shuhang could use this photo as proof and tell him that the battle between them had already ended.

This was Song Shuhang’s idea. However… just as Song Shuhang Two had said, it really did seem like something was missing from this photo. Unfortunately, Song Shuhang couldn’t tell what it was.

At this time, the White Dragon’s gentle voice echoed. “Sage Monarch Winter Melon is too clean in this photo. He doesn’t have any scars, and it looks as if he merely fell asleep. It doesn’t look like he’s battled with another Profound Sage. You can put some makeup on him and make it look like he’s got some bruises. Moreover, mess his hair up a little bit to make things look more realistic. It would also be best to sprinkle some water on his face to make it seem as if he’s spent a lot of energy…”

Song Shuhang’s eyes shone. “So that’s what it was. No wonder it felt weird.”

Song Shuhang Two’s eyes also shone. “Sister White Dragon, you really are experienced!”

Song Shuhang’s main body paused slightly, and turned to look at the White Dragon.

Why does Sister White Dragon seem to be so familiar with this process? Has she done something like this in the past?

The White Dragon looked up at the sky.

The White Dragon said, “Alright, don’t look at me like that. There was an idiot who asked me to do this kind of thing many times in the past.”

Song Shuhang immediately understood. It should have been Slow-Witted Song, a victim of the Thrice Reckless Disease in the ancient era.

The White Dragon said, “Fine, just let me help you. Nobody knows when Sage Monarch Winter Melon will wake up, so time is tight.”

She then flew to Sage Monarch Winter Melon’s side, moving her claws left and right.

Finally, with a light wave of her claw, a drop of water appeared in the air and fell on Sage Monarch Winter Melon’s face.

The White Dragon took a step back.

Sage Monarch Winter Melon was still lying on the rock. But at this time, his hair was messy and sweaty, his face had two scratches, and his clothes looked like he’d just gone through a great battle.

Everything was so realistic. Song Shuhang Two excitedly said, “Alright, main body, do your thing again.” Song Shuhang’s main body floated into the air. He then placed his feet on a black lotus while the lamia put on a dignified face and the 21 Holy Apes appeared and cheered for their master.

Song Shuhang Two took a few more photos.

This time, the result was much better.

The White Dragon said, “Unfortunately, we’re in your Inner World. If we were outside, we could change the surrounding area to give the illusion that a battle between Profound Sages had taken place there.”

Song Shuhang’s eyes lit up. “Besides Sage Monarch Winter Melon, there’s still Sage Monarch Three Weeks, Sage Monarch Enchanting Dream, and Sage Monarch Blue Phoenix. We can move out of the Inner World to take photos with them. Right outside is a world of ice and snow, so it should be relatively easy to create fake battlegrounds.”

And so, Song Shuhang transferred Sage Monarch Winter Melon back to where he was.

Then, he brought his main body, his clone, the White Dragon, and Sage Monarch Three Weeks outside the Inner World.
