The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

"After a moment of nostalgia, they immediately went looking for supplies, but after searching through several boxes, they discovered that everything inside was gone."

"At first, I thought it was a monster from the Rift that stole the supplies, but on closer inspection, if a monster from the Rift wanted to take the supplies, they wouldn't be so... polite."

"After searching the area, they finally found the person who had taken the supplies earlier. It was a child named Eric."

"Xi'er really dislikes this kid because he's always cheating and using his sick dad as an excuse."

"What is this?"

"A sick father, a gambling mother, a school-age sister, and a broken man?"

"Stop it, you're not a beautiful girl, and this isn't a foot massage parlor. Who are you trying to fool with this?!"

"At most... I can trick the priest."

"As expected, this time, Eric not only used the supplies he'd found in advance to blackmail Xi'er and the others, but after Xi'er pointed out that his clothes were stolen, he used his sick father as a shield."

"That made Xi'er even angrier, because she knew Eric's dad had never been sick."

"But what Xier didn't know was that Eric's father really was sick this time... Maybe this is the story of the boy who cried wolf. When you tell too many lies, no one will believe you even if you tell the truth."

"However, Bronya gave Eric her precious medal, telling him it was valuable and enough to pay for his father's medical treatment, hoping he would mend his ways."

"This made Seele completely change her opinion of Bronya."

"Xi'er: Oh, woman, you've caught my attention!"

"Although Seele felt it was unfair to give the medal to Eric, at least it was a reward in the end—Eric contributed all the supplies he had collected and also provided some rare information about this town."

"According to his information, Xing and the others bypassed some powerful Rift Monsters and arrived at the orphanage. The medical alcohol Natasha once kept is here."

"After arriving here, as the group rummaged through the boxes and drawers, Bronya felt a growing sense of familiarity."

"Finally, after finding a medal, the familiar feeling finally triggered Bronya's forgotten memories."

“I remember now. I used to live here—before the City Builders took me away and Lady Cocolia took me in. I lived here! I… I’m from the Lower District.”

"Wait? Adopt? Isn't she the child of that Great Guardian Cocolia?"

"He was adopted? That's outrageous! It's like saying the emperor's prince was adopted."

"It would be great if our emperor also adopted a child to be the crown prince. My child is very smart and is qualified to be the crown prince!"

"Wake up, even if they want to adopt a prince, they're looking for an orphan. If they absolutely must look for your son...then they'll have to artificially create an orphan first."

"Don't dream. His Majesty the Emperor is not infertile himself. Why would he adopt a child?"

"Hehe..." At this time, an old scholar laughed obscenely: "You know what, some old emperors really can't have children."

The eyes of the people around them lit up immediately, their gossip spirits burning, and they handed over the pancakes and other things in their hands: "Please tell me more!"

The old scholar was flattered and was so proud that he called everyone over and chuckled softly.

"Our emperor was very brave when he was young, but later on, he was frightened by the Jin people, and that thing down there was completely useless!"

"I'm not making this up! This is all from the tabloids!"

Tabloid is a type of unofficial newspaper that originated in the Northern Song Dynasty and is also the earliest unofficial newspaper in Chinese history.

Writing on small paper and sending messages far and wide is called a tabloid.

In the beginning, tabloids mainly published news and current political materials.

Afterwards, all kinds of gossip and rumors were flying around, even which concubine the emperor favored that night was published...Who knows if it was true!

Ordinary people would even open a bet on which concubine the emperor would choose, or even how long the emperor could last...

When Cai Jing was expelled from the capital, a tabloid even published an "imperial edict" impersonating Emperor Huizong of Song, angrily cursing Cai Jing and claiming that all of Cai Jing's gang had been executed. Finally, the tabloid even offered a "self-criticism" on Huizong's behalf, stating, "I am guilty of not observing my actions."

It is so similar to the current situation where certain fans impersonate the official People's Daily to post articles to whitewash certain celebrities!

It turns out there is nothing new under the sun.

This so-called tabloid is not only the earliest unofficial newspaper in Chinese history, but can also definitely be called the ancestor of marketing accounts.

Many knowledgeable people read tabloids just for fun.

But these people are different. They believe the tabloids without a doubt!

What's more, what the old scholar said at this time... the tabloids were really not made up, Zhao Gou was really scared to the point of building up his power!

Otherwise, later generations would not call him Wanyan's ninth sister. After all... he is Wanyan's ninth brother.

"Wow!" A group of people were inexplicably amazed when they heard such explosive royal news.

Some people lifted up their pants to take a look, and puffed out their chests proudly, thinking they were more powerful than the emperor!

"I heard that the emperor has three thousand beauties in his harem. Won't they suffer if they follow us?"

"I'm a kind-hearted person and I can't bear to see people suffer. Let me help them!"

"You're... from the lower district?" Seele said in shock. "No, you said Cocolia... you're the adopted daughter of the Great Guardian? Then..."

"Seeing this situation, Xing couldn't help but fall into deep thought."

"So, Bronya and Seele are not only godsends, but also childhood sweethearts?"

"A beautiful girl from heaven! She can't even imagine how she can lose? She's locked in!"

"Knock, everyone can knock! Everyone knock, everyone knock (pull two faces)!"

"Suddenly recalling this part of the memory, Bronya's eyes turned red, and she even started to cry."

“Ever since I was chosen as Lady Cocolia’s adopted daughter… I have no other identity except the next Great Guardian. But I, I’m still so far from being…”

"I witness Iron Guard soldiers sacrificed in the Rift every day, but I still can't bring myself to change Mother's mind."

“I knew the underclass was suffering, but I couldn’t do anything to help. My former home had become like this, and I was completely in the dark.”

““In the end, I can’t do anything. Why was I chosen? How can I be qualified…””
