• Monarch of Time   The shameless Lin family

  Shun Long's feet just touched the main hall and as the big 3m(9ft) doors opened, all eyes inside suddenly turned in his direction.As soon as Shun Long entered the hall apart from his parents sitting at the main seats, he also noticed 3 elders of the Lin family and a middle-aged man all dressed in black clothes with blue stripes on their chests and sleeves sitting inside, along with a young and relatively pretty girl who was with them, with her back straight as she was seated on her chair, but unfortunately because of the 'straight posture' she had adopted, people would instantly notice her flat chest.Everything looked normal at first glance, but Shun Long's past life experience had allowed him to pick on even the most indiscernible of hints, and from their body language how they had seated themselves a fair distance away from Shun Fang and Shun An while being the only guests here, Shun Long understood that this matter had more to it than what meets the eye. After all

• Monarch of Time   Explosive increase in cultivation

  Shun Long finally sat down cross legged and started meditating on his bed. As soon as he thought of the triangular shaped stone, his mind instantly transformed into a stream that appeared inside his head, and he saw the stone floating with a golden book next to it.Shun Long was startled, he didn't know how that golden book had appeared next to the stone. He then remembered a sound that he had felt inside his brain earlier, and after that the feeling of his soul getting rid of a pair of shackles that had always weighted him down had come.Shun Long's counsciousness moved towards the golden book, but there was no reaction no matter what he did.After trying for a while, he turned his sights back towards the triangular shaped stone.As soon as his thoughts drifted towards it, the stone sucked in his consciousness and Shun Long felt his body appearing in an empty space.''How many more secrets do you hold'' Shun Long said as he thought of the triangul

• Monarch of Time   Shun Fang's scheme

  As soon as Lu Wen finished his words, Shun Fang and Shun An both looked over at Shun Long. They too wanted to know how their son was healed.Actually Shun Long didn't have to answer Lu Wen's questions and satisfy his curiosity if he really didn't want to do so, but this was still part of Shun Long's plan so he decided to nod and explain 'what had happened'. His parents were also curious as to how Shun Long had healed since he had mentioned earlier that his body was originally full of injuries and he was even brought on the brink of death when those masked people attacked him, before they eventually fled the scene.Earlier Shun Long didn't have the time to finish his explanation when Lu Wen arrived at the hall, so he could only postpone it, but since Lu Wen asked it was the perfect time to present his explanation.Shun Long turned to look at his parents who nodded at him and he then started explaining''Originally I was attacked by some people and was left

• Monarch of Time   What happened

  ''Are you certain that your son is a cripple?''''..you certain that your son is a cripple?'''' ..your son is a cripple?''''..cripple?''These words repeatedly echoed inside Shun Fang's head and as if a dynamite had exploded, his aura burst out of his body, like a torrential wave that was looking to submerge and drown 'alchemist Lu'.Even the quiet Shun An frowned as her gaze towards Lu Wen instantly turned icy.Shun fang hated it when people called his son a cripple.There was an incident a few years back at the imperial capital, when another rank 3 bronze formation master called Shun Long 'a useless cripple unable to cultivate' in front of Shun Fang and as a result Shun Fang broke that persons legs and ended up almost entirely crippling him. It was only after a lot of people pleaded on his behalf for Shun Fang to let him live, that Shun Fang did ended up letting him off but not before he had finished venting his anger on him. In t

• Monarch of Time   Are y*u sure

  ''My lord, alchemist master Lu has arrived.''''Quickly invite him in.'' Shun Fang said in slight anxiousness.Although he had learned the majority of what happened to Shun Long when he went to the Blue Forest, and despite the fact that his body had no obvious signs of any injury, Shun Fang and Shun An couldn't help but worry with fear for any internal injuries inside their son's body, so having Master Lu examine Shun Long was extremely urgent to them.When the doors of the main hall opened again Shun Fang and Shun An stood up while Shun Long remained in a sitting position on the bed in the center of the room. This wasn't because he wanted to intentionally act rude, but that Shun Fang had instructed him that until alchemist Lu had verified that his body is truly healthy and uninjured, he is not to move from his position.Shun Long could feel the concern his parents were showing him, so he couldn't go against their wishes right now.A white robed yo

• Monarch of Time   Parents

  The roaring voice shook the entire Shun estate to its core and even the servants and the guards inside all hastily knelt down in fear.Outside of the Shun estate the pedestrians around went pale from fear as a carriage rushed quickly towards the estate's gates. The carriage stopped a few meters away from Shun Long and the driver quickly reigned in the horses and hastily fell on his knees, when the door of the carriage was suddenly kicked from the inside, and ended up flying through the air until it collided with the estate's walls and instantly broke into fragmented pieces of wood and scattered to the ground.From the inside of the carriage a furious man in his early 40s jumped down, the ground slightly shaking from the impact when he landed. The man was tall, over 1.80m (5.11ft) and dressed in luxurious blue clothes. His facial features were sharp and he had thick eyebrows, his nose was straight and his body build was burly. His black eyes had almost turned scarlet at
