MTL - Dawn of the Grey Tower - Chapter 125 Speaker's House

After the sudden death of her parents, life hasn't been easy for Allynna Frost. The worst blow comes when she discovers she was adopted, leaving a big question in her mind: “Why did my birth parents leave me on this island?”A young nobleman suddenly enters Allynna's life, offering help in finding her birth parents. She accepts his offers.Meeting this man reveals many dark secrets from her past, things related to her life and death.*****“Miss Allynna, would you like to know your birth parents?” The mysterious man's cold and emotionless voice brought her out of her thoughts.She immediately nodded, agreeing with his offer.“But, I have two conditions.” He said coldly.Allynna silently took a deep sigh. Her witty mind knows it! There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.After a few seconds of silence, she bravely asks him, “Conditions? I need to know what they are first before I can say anything. So, what are the conditions?”The man stood up from the sofa gracefully. His long black coat hung down to his knees as he stood majestically towards the large window pane. He looked at the scenery out of the window with his back facing Allynna.“First, you need to move to the Capital.”“Second. I want you to marry me willingly.” He said without looking at her.

“Sect Master! Marry me!”If only things were that simple.Fang Yuan lets out a long sigh, eyes fixed on the mountain of paperwork threatening to swallow his desk and his soul.As the youngest family head in history, you’d think he’d be enjoying fame, fortune, and fawning admirers.Instead, he’s buried in bureaucracy, stuck mediating elder disputes, and wondering if the sect treasury mysteriously eats spirit stones.Sure, the old geezers have their experience, their beards, and their lofty reputations.But Fang Yuan? He has one thing they don’t: raw, unshakable power.Born into a world where innate talent reigns supreme, Fang Yuan—a transmigrator armed with modern grit—actually managed the impossible: he clawed his way to the top with nothing but relentless hard work.While everyone else coasted on heavenly bloodlines and golden physiques, he trained, he studied, and he schemed.Now, he’s strong enough to bend heaven’s will.But cultivation isn’t all sword beams and glory.Life as a family head comes with its own set of woes—namely, watching his annoyingly handsome junior brother collect all the female attention like some kind of walking romance novel.“This isn’t fair,” Fang Yuan mutters under his breath, stamping another scroll. “I’m the protagonist here... right?”

I am the sword.

Killing a man amidst a thousand miles, no one dares take ten steps.
Killing a man amidst a thousand miles, no one can take ten steps.
Killing a man amidst a thousand miles, ten steps? Not possible!

I am the sword, the sword is me,
On the path towards heaven, each shall wield their own.
