Rules Greater Than Heaven

(In this day and age, readers chose books, and books chose readers. The bond between reader and book had always been a two-way choice... Gentlemen could part without harsh words; even if a deal fell through, goodwill remained. Perhaps my next book would be more to your taste? So if this wasn't the kind of book or writing you imagined, all I could do was apologize. After all, I had a backlog of chapters, an outline, and a set path. I couldn't change it for anyone... And no, I didn't delete reviews because I couldn't take criticism. I did it so they wouldn't affect new readers' choices... Lastly, thank you all for your support!) Families like the Fan, Deng, and Chen Households had originally had the same relationship with the General's Temple.

But after centuries of ties, with quite a few disciples from those three families even formally joining the General's Temple, their relationship had become all the more inseparable!

Of course, as spiritual energy had waned over the past century or two and the General's Temple had weakened, the three families had prospered and spread beyond Lower River. Their ties had gradually faded.

Even so, the General's Temple had always remained in charge of the ancestral rites!

"Master, I want to learn invisibility. Can you teach me?" Ling Xiaoyu blurted out, startling Tang Changsheng half to death.

Tang Changsheng jumped. "What do you want to learn invisibility for?"

Ling Xiaoyu tilted her head, smiling as her imagination ran wild. "Haven't you seen the movies? That Invisible Hero one that's out now—he can walk through walls and ignore every obstacle... And the lead is so handsome!"

Tang Changsheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. For the first time, he realized how differently his mind worked from a normal person's.
