With the end of the Palace Examination, Confucian Sage officially entered its middle phase. There was more to write, and I continued chewing my way through books such as History of the Classics and Zhu Xi's Collected Commentaries on the Four Books.
The National Chief Contest will take you by surprise. Afterward, Fang Yun will enter the Bloodmang Ancient Land, a special place, and Fang Yun... no spoilers.
I've been a little busy lately, mainly for reasons I can't conveniently discuss. Many people have approached me to talk about a new book, contracts, copyrights... I really did finish writing far too late today. Sorry.

The last sentence of the previous chapter was my own self-reflection: better to set a worthy aspiration than a grand one.

Mm, getting a little sleepy.
Good night, readers.
