The Ge's ancestral home in Fujiang City lit up this night.

The glory of an ancient family is the hottest firewood, making the flames rage more fiercely.

Ge Fei's movements were swift and efficient, sparing his father any suffering and minimizing the pain experienced by the family in this grand estate.

>

Although he was born cruel and enjoyed the suffering of his prey before their death, he wanted to be a civilized person. He couldn't allow his kin too much agony.

Ge Fei has already decided to inherit his teacher's legacy and strengthen the country. This is also the best choice for him. As Gao Zheng's only legitimate heir in name, he can naturally inherit everything from Gao Zheng, including that immense reputation.

He and the state of Yue were already in a mutually beneficial relationship.

Murder is the simplest thing; the complicated part is after the murder.

<<<　　To emerge victorious from a previous battle, defeating the Chu envoy Zhongli Yan wasn't exactly a cakewalk. Being defeated but not killed left him feeling even more frustrated. Afterward, Wen Shixiong told him to wait on the mountaintop for a while, to lay low—it was only after he entered the mortal realm that he truly understood what it meant to "lay low."

>

In the realm of mountains and seas, such things don't exist. In that place where the weak are preyed upon by the strong, you need to always show strength. If you even slightly reveal weakness, you will be devoured by the surrounding ferocious beasts.

This time, he went down the mountain as a representative of the awakening of the family, leading the reform of the family and embracing new policies.

At the top are the emperor and prime minister, who hold sway in the court. In the middle stands this first-day prodigy, hailing from the oldest and most renowned aristocratic family, leading the way for his peers. Below him lies the support of a vast populace. He carries on the legacy of Gaozheng's achievements. Externally, there is pressure from the state of Chu, and hidden within all this is a blade poised to unleash madness and terror...

With so many parties involved, the state reforms of Yue were bound to succeed.

As for whether it will be successful, and whether it can truly be as described by Gong Zhiliang in the court as "clear skies and bright earth, a prosperous reign of ten thousand years," it remains to be seen with time.

Theoretically, he has no problem coming to be a role model for the family.

But the two words "leading by example" are easier said than done.

To be the center of attention, one must be able to withstand scrutiny. Especially when building such a high profile, perfectly inheriting Gao Zheng's illustrious reputation and winning immense public support, every word and deed must be carefully considered.

How to gather the remnants of the old aristocracy in this turbulent time and lead them to embrace reform is a complex issue.

Of course, there was one more thing he had to do before that —

That outlaw from Xuan Guo, a butcher manipulated by Chu in secret... This man's blood will be used to stain his resolve, embellish his reputation, and help him win the support of the remnants of the old nobility.

What was that person's name?

It seems to be...Zhang Jiefu.

A man who sells everything to avenge his family and gains power.

He already has the results he wanted, and the rest of his life is spent paying the price.

A revolution can easily end this person's suffering and settle this "outstanding balance".

Things could have been simpler. The "Night Butcher," who terrified the nobility of Yue, was not a secret to the emperor of Yue himself.

But Wen Shidi was very cautious. He wanted Zhang Jiefu to remain unaware until his death of who had been manipulating him. Of course, Zhang Jiefu perhaps didn't care much either.

So, the whereabouts of that person, Ge Fei still needs to investigate himself. The necessary killing process should all be carried out. It doesn't matter, as long as no one else interferes, Yue Guo is just another jungle, and he is very good at hunting.

"Fire! Fire! The Gue family's house is on fire!"

"With so many skilled experts in the academy, how could they possibly be unable to control a fire? There must be something wrong!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Report to the authorities!"

"Didn't Young Master Ge come back? What happened, that even he couldn't suppress it?"

When the revolution loosened its grip, the city's clamour surged forward.

Ge was still quite popular among the people in Fucheng. During his lifetime, Ge had often soothed and comforted them, providing relief during famine years and repairing roads during harvest seasons. At least on the surface, he seemed to be doing a good job, leaving little room for gossip. The neighbors in this city also showed him superficial concern at this time.

Tonight, Ge will be reborn in the flames, abandoning the old self of decay and greed, embracing a new life of purity and sincerity.

The last heir of Ge, Ge Fei, will live long on this night.

Gao Zheng's closed-door disciple, in the midst of the flames, adjusted his expression of grief, adding a touch of determination to his eyes. He let out a light cough, making his voice heavier. Then, stepping on the flames, he took step by step towards the heavens, ready to speak——

"Fly away!"

Suddenly, a loud and clear shout rang out, as sharp and piercing as a sword being drawn from its sheath. It cut through the drumming sound of Ge Fei's ascent to the platform.

In that boundless, unending night where flames failed to pierce the darkness, stood a man with a face like the full moon, seemingly arriving with frost upon him. His skin was as white as snow, his features exquisitely delicate, clad in a thin robe, his entire being radiating swordsmanship. He traversed the night, seeming like a white rainbow hanging across the sky.

White jade flaw!

The only family in Yue Guo that can be mentioned alongside the Ge clan, the heir of the renowned Bai clan from Langya. A competitor in the main tournament at the Yellow River Convention, the darling of the nation this generation.

He happened to arrive at Fuzhi that very night.

What is he trying to do?

Ge Fei's emotions were cut off, he was extremely impatient.

This is a test.

But seeing the white jade, he pointed a finger over and sternly rebuked him, “You heartless beast, you vicious villain! You have killed your parents and exterminated your entire family!”

Gev Fei heard the murmurs all around him. Of course, he could hear clearly, among the crowd of onlookers, those dreadful whispers.

>

Tonight, the one accusing him is not an unknown figure but a celestial prodigy who stands shoulder to shoulder with him in fame. Such a fierce public confrontation, where their lifelong reputations are at stake, means tonight only one person can emerge with their honor intact.

"Bai Yu Xia, what kind of madness have you unleashed?" Ge Fei tested the waters, wanting to see Bai Yu Xia's hand.

With a finger, Bai Yu Xia pointed at the blazing Ge clan ancestral home, her sword qi whistling down and extinguishing the sky-high flames. "Ge clan's fate is before your eyes, do you dare deny it? Do you want to have an autopsy now and see if you were the one who did it?"

　　Gevfei only wants to sneer!

This Bai Yu-xia is still so oblivious. He's just like that Bai Ping-fu. A few years ago, when he went to court in mourning and tried to win over others' support, he was the same.

According to the book, this is called "not knowing the heart of the monarch."

Didn't he really think that going home and slaughtering his family was a crime?

That's his achievement!

Of course, Ge's crimes exist. Ancient families have complex roots, and over so many years it's impossible that there haven't been hidden dirt and scandals that can't withstand the light of day. Years of wrongdoing add up to an uncountable list!

The relevant evidence, brother Wen Shi had been ready for a long time, he had prepared for many years.

It couldn't have been more fitting for him to take it out.

He is upholding justice over personal ties tonight.

What is he afraid of?

“Throughout history, virtuous men and scholars have always put the country before their families. Before great righteousness, how could there be room for personal feelings?” The opening sentence of Ge Fei's statement sets the tone, and then he begins to elaborate with a mournful tone: "The Ge family bears the responsibility of a prestigious lineage, yet they block the flow of talent, and are guilty before heaven and earth. Today, I personally dismantle them, it is like removing a festering wound, responding to national policy, and paving the way for the world. The aspirations of our predecessors – 'selecting officials based on merit, treating all equally regardless of status' – are also my lifelong wish. Without eradicating old ills, there can be no opening of new horizons. The Ge family has devoured the people's wealth and grown fat, this first sword of change must begin with the Ge family. Though it pains me, I have no regrets!"

This performance is far more complex than pretending to be crazy.

After saying all that, he received positive feedback from the people of Fuji City as expected, and heard voices of sympathy. Public opinion is fickle, words can be lethal; he deeply felt this today.

"Gev Fei turned his head to look at Bai Yu Xia, displaying a mixture of anger and heartache: "Even if ten thousand people condemn me, I will bear the blame myself. But you, Bai Shi's esteemed son, what stance are you taking today? Pointing your sword at me? For whom are you fighting?!"

Bai Yu-xia gave him an unexpected answer, equally passionate and impassioned——"I stand on the standpoint of the national new policy, I fight for fairness!"

Just as he was about to suppress the criticism with righteous indignation, he hesitated. I'm doing this for the sake of the new national policy, and so are you. Aren't we on the same side?

But, Ge Fei, you are the embodiment of the nation's chronic illness. "You stand before me now, that is the greatest injustice!" Bai Yu Xia hung in the night sky, her spear pointed accusingly.

Such a big hat, first take it off, but the leather brim in his hand couldn't be taken out.

Justice is sometimes a double-edged sword, which anyone can use to harm others.

"Yes, I committed murder today, with brutal methods. But I believe those who uphold justice will understand my patriotic heart. In life, sometimes loyalty and righteousness cannot coexist! We can go to court and debate, confronting Gong Xiang and the emperor." Ge Fei said, "The filth of the Ge clan, I hesitate to speak, yet I must. Right and wrong are clear, a single argument will reveal it!"

He thought it was a good idea to go to Wen Jingxiu and Gong Zhiliang and ask them to intercede, reprising the events of several years ago.

Bai Yu-xia had come prepared this time and naturally refused to be swayed by Ge Fei's words. She calmly questioned, "You claim your love for the country is sincere, but I ask you - you have been lost in folly for years, blind to affairs of state, enjoying rank and riches, how have you benefited the nation? What right do you have to still be the Right Capital Censor? Is it because you are the heir to the Ge family? Are positions within the court bestowed by your family alone? Is this not precisely the evil the nation seeks to eradicate today!"

Ge Fei was never one for arguing. In the Shan Hai Realm, he just said what he thought and didn't need to explain himself to anyone. His mind raced as he tried to find the right words: "This matter—" Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated! ?

"Don't you dare tell me it's because of Gao Xiang!" Bai YuXia interrupted him: "Gao Xiang himself proposed 'selecting officials based on merit, regardless of social status,' how could he betray his political beliefs for someone like you? Are you saying that Gao Xiang's so-called fairness is still fairness from his own perspective, that he, standing at the pinnacle of power, is the greatest old noble?"

Of course, one cannot deny Gao Zheng's contributions; to do so would be to deny the foundation upon which his entire persona rests.

But he did indeed want to bring Gao Zheng out, momentarily stuck there, neither advancing nor retreating.

Fortunately, he hadn't wasted his years of reading. He was immediately furious: "You jade flaw, even if you envy me, there is no need to come up with such a ridiculous excuse!"

"Then he said, “I am the country’s pride, a true genius of our time! How much have I contributed to my nation! When I was in an accident and lost my senses, you kept me a mere right minister of the imperial court. Is that too much? Or are you never hoping I would wake up?!”

"Well said! How much have you contributed to the nation!" Bai Yuxia was waiting for this sentence, and she directly threw a stack of documents at Ge Fei, who was black as ink: "Do you want to see these pieces of evidence before you speak!"

>Last month, Liu Zhiguang, who was beheaded and dismissed for corruption and abuse of power, had a close relationship with you. Back then, he also used your connections to get into the Imperial Inspectorate. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been qualified for promotion at all! How do you explain this?

Five years ago, Zeng Shixian, who violently robbed a woman, was already imprisoned. Only then were you able to escape punishment. The investigation revealed that he and you attended the same private school during your childhood. You two were classmates back then, and you still remember him. Your act of loyalty to old friends is truly commendable!

Bai Yu's voice echoed through the night sky: "All these things, one after another, are all your doing. You boast about your contributions to the nation, yet the evils you have wrought in your position as Right Imperial Historian are laid bare before us! Do you have anything to say? Who is protecting your official position and for what purpose? Are they waiting for you to commit even more atrocities?"

<>

He didn't go through everything the original ones experienced, he doesn't even know about these things!

So he could not even deny it, because he was unable to confirm whether these were true or not, whether there was any hard evidence. Once he denied something wrong, he would only bury himself deeper.

The sudden burst of heated discussion made him feel uneasy.

A series of events, true or false, swirled in his mind.

He was short of breath for a moment, and his eyes gleamed menacingly. In the Sea of Mountains realm, the opinions of bystanders didn't matter at all. Whoever disagreed or had an issue, you just killed them until they agreed—after becoming human, it was as if he had been bound and gagged. How absurd!

He leaped from the cage of the Shan Hai realm, but donned the shackles of humanity!

Ge Fei remained silent for a moment, but Bai Yu Xia continued speaking. He said coldly: "You can destroy this evidence, but you cannot erase what you have done. You stand here today and say that you support the new policy, I hope you are sincere! But if such a tumor is not removed, how can the new policy be implemented?"

He casually flung his hand, sending more pieces of evidence swirling through the air, scattering across the city: “Look closely, my fellow countrymen, and see what kind of vicious heart lies hidden beneath this veneer of civility!”

The cases Bai Yu Xia prepared were actually the crimes of Ge Shi, and they had little to do with Ge Fei himself. In the past, Ge Fei focused on cultivation and wouldn't care about these things at all. Ge Fei, who was inhabited by a mountain and sea monster, wouldn't make any friends.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

But these people did indeed have connections to Ge Fei. For example, Liu Zhiguang was indeed close friends with Ge Fei at the Imperial History Department, and Zeng Shixian was indeed Ge Fei's fellow student from the Meng Xue Academy.

He was very clear that the current rumors, weren't really rumors. He couldn't defend himself against these ambiguous things at all. Would Ge Fei dare to admit he wasn't Ge Fei?

If Ge Shi were here, if Ge Yu were still alive, we could explain all of this clearly. But now, Ge Shi has just been destroyed by Ge Fei, and even if Ge Fei jumped into the Yangtze River, he couldn't wash away his guilt!

>The situation in Yue Guo was shrouded in mist. He had chosen to step outside the game back then, and it wasn't until this autumn that he finally saw clearly — Yue Guo had long wanted to reform. For the country, this might be a good thing. But the methods used in this process absolutely cannot be called right.

If you only pursue a general correctness, it will inevitably lead to specific pain!

As he learned this year, his father Bai Pingfu was a political sacrifice tacitly acknowledged by all of Yue. The cause of death that time wasn't Ge Fei's evil intentions but the beginning of Yue Ting's purge of clans. Without Zhang Linchuan, something else would have happened. It just so happens that the Unborn Sect's founder passed through and did evil, leaving the least trace.

In other words, if Gao Zheng were still around, people like Li, Wu, and Song wouldn't have disappeared so pathetically. They would have been like Bai Pingfu, a natural part of the changing seasons, coming and going in an orderly fashion. It wouldn't even raise suspicion.

Bai Yu Xie harbors a grudge, this hatred deeply hidden in her heart. She went with him to another country for many years, and she returned with him.

Since the country wants to reform, to be fair, to excise tumors and cure festering wounds, to remove this most prominent target, the most unfair factor, should it be eradicated? Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Yue Ting killed Bai Pingfu with overwhelming force.

Today he will also use overwhelming force to eradicate rumors.

Either destroy the key to Huan Wei's true return, erasing Chu State's fear of being outwitted, or they admit they were wrong and used the wrong methods!

He wanted revenge not only on this mountain-sea monster whose body was rumored to be a stolen treasure, but also on Wen Jingxiu!

"Gèfēi! You truthfully confess! Today, you slaughtered the entire family to destroy evidence and escape? Killing your own kin for survival, what kind of beast are you!"

Bailingxia let out a long cry in the night sky: "A great nation should reform itself from within! Your Majesty—I know you sit upon the power of the empire, wielding true authority, and must surely be able to hear me. This humble servant, Bailingxia, speaks on behalf of the ten million people of Yue, begging you to act with foresight for all under heaven, decisively punish this wicked traitor!"
