“Little Fellow, can you spare this one an extra carriage?” An old man waggled his wizened fingers, his aged countenance suffused with a healthy mixture of cunning and pity.

“Ah… how regretful this is, too regretful…” Luo Shuyan was in the midst of the most miserable year of her life. The young woman puffed her cheeks as she stared into the copper mirror placed on the dressing table, her eyes narrowing at the distorted reflection of her appearance. Despite An Fei’s fevered protests, Luo Shuyan of the Luo Family …

To call it a disturbance was indeed correct, but also incompatible at the same time. When the sea of people thinned enough for An Fei to obtain a clearer view of her surroundings, the scene before her was enough to raise an eyebrow in interest.

Hundred Clan Coalition? An Fei was indeed informed regarding such an organization of clans, both secular and those associated with the jianghu, especially regarding the snippet of information that the majority of Great Yong below Jiang’an was ruled by the Hundred Clan Coalition.
