Gama Palace.

The morning bells of the Bell and Drum Towers echoed from the north, passing over the red palace walls and golden glazed tiles, finally settling in the desolate palace.

The scene inside the palace may seem glamorous, but for the people inside, each day feels like an eternity.

Palace maids and eunuchs basically start looking forward to noon from the moment they wake up in the morning, and start looking forward to evening from noon.

Children outside the palace were playing football in the street, and before they knew it, it was dark; those inside the palace watched the sunset slowly, bit by bit, as it went down.

The two sisters, Yao Ye and Yao Yue, were actually very bored after Gu Fengchen left. Every day they longed for Gu Fengchen to come back and find them.

Recently, after finishing her cultivation at the Yunlan Sect, Nalan Yanran has enjoyed taking walks around the city. With Gu Fengchen away, she has felt a sense of melancholy.

Her favorite thing to do every day is to go to the bustling streets, which makes her feel less lonely.

By this time, the sun was high in the sky, and the streets of the city were gradually becoming lively.

The air was thick with the smell of cow dung and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares, but Nalan Yanran didn't seem to mind.

Before, when she was with Gu Fengchen, it seemed that she could get through even the hardest days. Her previous willful nature seemed to have completely disappeared.

Just then, a man by the roadside suddenly breathed fire from his mouth, drawing cheers from the onlookers. After the performance, a young man wearing an official hat walked around with a gong, shouting, "Fellow villagers, those with money, please support us financially; those with connections, please support us with your presence. Not a penny is too little, not a hundred is too much..."

At this point, the crowd of onlookers dispersed in a panic, and the money inside the gong was pitifully little.

Just then, an old man watching the commotion from the roadside chuckled and teased, "Hey, it's obvious you two are selling your skills for the first time. This place isn't like other places. Haven't you heard the idiom 'all talk and no action'?" All talk and no action?

The two young performers immediately clasped their hands and humbly asked, "May I ask, sir, what does 'all talk and no action' mean?"

"Hehe, little kids, you just don't understand. When should you collect money? You should collect when the fire is in your throat, about to burst but not quite. At that time, the audience is itching with anticipation and will definitely give you money. But if you actually burst the fire, who will give you money? Look at those street performers next door, spouting all sorts of nonsense, like 'lotus flowers from the mouth' or 'throat nails.' Which one of them has actually practiced? I've lived here for so many years, watching every day, and I've only seen them perform three or four times at most. Only three or four performances in over ten years can keep their appetites whetted."

"Then, what if they..."

"Whether it's important or not is irrelevant," the old man said, revealing the secret.

Along the way, the various acrobatic acts, such as breaking large stones on her chest and balancing large vats on her head, as well as the various snacks, could not make Nalan Yanran stop. The reason was simple: it seemed that without Gu Fengchen by her side, nothing she did had any meaning.

On the other side, in the Stone Desert City.

While Gu Fengchen's confidantes were all falling ill with lovesickness, the battle here had already reached a fever pitch.

The next moment, the assassins from the Mo family charged forward again.

They all have relatives who are more or less under the control of the Mo family. If they don't work hard at this time, they will easily be punished by the elders of the Mo family later, especially Mo Cheng, who is a cold-blooded animal who kills without blinking an eye.

They blocked Gu Fengchen's way, preventing him from rescuing Qing Lin. (End of Chapter)
