1.
At twenty-nine, Gongsun Wulong was still a nobody in the martial world. If he didn't make a name for himself soon, he'd be too old to count as one of its young heroes.
He was no spring chicken anymore. Once a man got close to thirty, even good looks could become a problem. He had no reputation and no admirers, and it was starting to get to him.
He got swept into the case of Duanzhi Xuanyuan by a flood and was knocked off his feet at the first trial. Fortunately, a heroine named Bai Cuiping came to his rescue. The two decided to join forces and roam the martial world!

Bai Cuiping had been assigned by her senior fellow disciple, Guo Juxia, to infiltrate the Sunflower Sect. If she botched the job, it could ruin her career prospects.
So she simply grabbed Gongsun Wulong to come along as cover.
According to intelligence from the Six Fan Gate, she set out from the capital for Datong Prefecture. From a distance, she spotted someone robbing a cart on the main road.
The man was dressed in white, handsome and elegant. The first thing he said was:
"Hero, please wait. First, accept my sincere blessings. Would you be interested in learning about the Sunflower Sect's talent development program?"
And so Bai Cuiping was sure to remember that the kid's surname was Zhou.

Reader's Guide:
1. The hero is the Sunflower Sect's Silver Treasurer, which is to say, an actual accountant. If you're in the same field and can't stand it, don't read this. I don't want you getting stress-induced heart problems during finals week.
2. Young Bai Yutang won't appear until the next volume.
3. The overall quality is on a par with Mo Xiaobei and Qiu Xiaodong.
4. I've already prepared the outline and a lot of the content for this little book, and I will definitely write it. First, I need to make some progress at my day job!
Theme: Twenty years pass in the blink of an eye.
