So our entire water drainage pipe was blocked by buildup and I couldnt fix it despite trying for hours which ended up resulting in lots of pain in my right hand and $350 for a plumber to come and work on the pipe :/

Ill be trying to have a chapter of either Ascending or Ds up tonight if I can, but heres a chapter for you all. Happy Memorial Day to those in the US.

Since the barracks where the Dark Legion was staying was located west of the provincial lords mansion and the location where they currently located was east of the provincial lords mansion, there was no need to worry about the provincial lords mansion being attacked. However, since they did not know when Tang Pan would arrive with his soldiers, retreating on the open city streets could result in being caught by the enemy, so the most logical thing Tang Wei could come up with was holing themselves up in the mansion until reinforcements arrive.
