Unparalleled -> Wushuang (From Wushuang Pavilion) In this case, the Romanization (of 无双) is preferred.

The Unparalleled Great Grandmaster also felt helpless in her heart, how could there be such an evil genius?

How? Did Li Xuan tell her? How did he remember?

She meticulously labeled each acupoint on the mannequin for reference.

About five paragraphs wasted on repetition.

Only Li Xuan knew that at this moment, he had crossed a chasm and stepped into the Innate Realm!

Personally I've started using WN a lot less because all the translations are sh*t, Qidian is greedy, and Qidian is a Chinese company.Either the translations are bad, there's excessive nationalism, or the novels are abandoned midway through, with Qidian sitting on the IP forever.

Well, this will certainly fail to pass the Bechdel test.

Song Huaying didn't know that her benefactor was thinking about this. She boldly raised her head and looked at his sage-like handsome face. She couldn't help but blush and lowered her head shyly.

His master is not Yuntai, it is Chi Yao, for Christ's sake, why does Qidian suck so bad.

His master, Perfected Yuntai, had been inquiring about Cheng Xu's whereabouts from the Scorching Sun Sect. Upon seeing Cheng Xu safe and sound, his eyes turned red. "Brat, where on earth have you been? I thought you..."

Wow, a number at which a minimal operating system (think Gentoo or Arch Linux) can be run. You can run smaller operating systems (such as CirrOS), but the experience won't be great and you'll be stuck in the command line.

It's so obvious what the Aunt and Uncle are doing. It's really quite sad in a way. Fang Zheng was essentially worthless to them before, so they let him live in squalor with an elderly servant, while Fang Yuan was given Shen Cui, an ostensibly attractive woman. Now that Fang Zheng's talent has been revealed, they up his living situation and give him a better servant. They cannot possibly be any more obvious about their materialistic point of view. They value Fang Zheng's talent, not Fang Zheng. Any nonsense about, "call us mother and father" is simply an attempt to emotionally manipulate Fang Zheng... and the poor b*stard is eating it right up.

Fang Zheng looked around with a glance, his eyes shining. This room was at least bigger by two times compared to his previous room. The middle of the room was a spacious bed; beside the window was a rosewood desk with a delicate set of ink and paper. The walls were decorated with exquisite ornaments, and beneath his feet was not an ordinary floor, but covered in a layer of soft handmade carpet.

It wasn't really a major contribution in any regard. "Zhou's conjecture" isn't really unique and was posited by a "non-notable" mathematician. Also, "posit" is an apt word, because there wasn't much proof or explanation that went into the conjecture, especially when compared to the very similar Wagstaff (New Mersenne) conjecture. China also has a strange reputation in academia. Chinese scholars and the Chinese academic community has a habit of writing low-impact papers like "Zhou's conjecture" and then referencing a bunch of other low-impact papers, who reference a bunch of low-impact papers, and on and on. The end result is that a paper like "3 is prime, and 5 is prime, and 7 is prime, therefore primes are off" end up being referenced in hundreds of papers, boosting the apparent "impact" (measured by how often works are referenced in other academic literature) of a paper. Basically, the academic community in China has a habit of participating in scholarly circle jerks. IDK if it was fair to literally remove Zhou's conjecture from Wikipedia, citing the low impact, the conjecture being more of a "wish" due to how little content there was on it. I think it's also a very beautiful guess to make. It just isn't very valuable to prove when compared to other Mersenne prime conjectures.

"Oh, I know that thesis," said Professor Tang. He felt nostalgic as he said, "That thesis by Mr. Zhou contributed significantly toward the Chinese mathematics community."

It is illegal, within an educational institution, to share students' educational information, including test results. It's a violation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. I had to go through a bunch of FERPA compliance training when I was working at a college. Even sharing and accessing students' results within an institution is heavily restricted, with there being only a certain set of people who are able to see a student's information (eg a guidance counselor, the instructor, etc). Outside predetermined situations and without consent, it is illegal to leak students' results.

After the Math teacher—Deng Yongchuan—had said this, the class began to laugh loudly.

Wouldn't it make more sense for the dans to be sold first? Throughout the auction, various families need to ensure that they have enough for the dan beads, so they'll underbid on the earlier items. However, they'll still have spent some money by the end, driving the price of the dan beads lower. By auctioning the best items first, the participants can bid high on key items, while the losers can still overbid on the remaining items as some form of consolation.

However, it didn't mean that the other six items were valued any lesser than the supreme dan. They were just different in kind and could not be compared. In fact, the other six items were all delivered from the head office to be auctioned alongside the supreme dan. They had used everything they could to record the maximum possible turnover.

"whom" used in the wrong way here. Should be "for whom" not "whom ... for."

Ye Xiao replied after thinking for a while, "A man should stand straight up in the world. How can I keep escaping from troubles. The more dangerous the situation is, the more I can get trained. If I can get through this, it will definitely be able to reform me. A danger is also an opportunity. If I can't get through it… then there won't be any big accomplishments in my life. I will be a useless fool who is unable to protect the ones whom he cares for and the ones who care for him."

The white-clothed person thinks like an emperor, to some degree. The Mu family's influence should be too great, especially given their association with the crown prince. The ideal circumstance for the royal family is for the powers that give them power to remain in balance, while also upholding an appearance of conflict. Thus, the kingdom's (or empire's) power can grow off the backs of the main families and their factions, while the royalty can remain above the families, either by some force (eg cultivation) or by their utility in balancing the benefits between the main families (business benefits from peace and unity, even unity in conflict; see: Nash Equilibrium).

"Well, no matter who the Mu clan has sent this time, I want them all to die!" The man in white smiled softly, "They can be killed by people from other clans, from the General's House, from where the princes stays or even from the martial sects… Hei-Jiu [1], do you understand?"

The chaotic situation can be used for balancing power, wealth, and connections. Likewise, the chaotic situation can be used to gather information let loose in the chaos. Basically, the situation can be used for fishing for benefits and information. However, that's predicated on the idea that Ye Xiao is suspicious, but not outed as the culprit. Perhaps, even if they knew that Ye Xiao were the culprit, the information would be kept quiet for a period of time. It doesn't matter who killed the Mu family's heir, only that somebody did and that they have a suspect they can use to control the situation to some degree.

"If Ye Xiao died, this case would be over. What happened would be tossed aside and it'd be soon forgotten." The man in white sneered weirdly, "It is truly not a good situation to be at peace."

Or, more accurately, it is not worth it to find the true killer. It would exhaust manpower and resources, while making enemies with whom they would not be able to coexist. In other words, Ye Xiao might be the enemy, and he's the easiest enemy, therefore he's the enemy. With sophistry, you can say "he's a suspect, he's the only suspect, therefore overlooking him makes him a potential murderer so long as we don't find a murderer." In reality, it's a "reason" to overlook the "he's not the murderer, who is the murderer" phase, at least temporarily. This would probably be part of the man in white's thought process, although it's not unlikely that he's also just cautious. I'd say it could be a combination of both, as well as potentially other considerations.

"Why couldn't Ye Xiao kill Mu Chengbai? Why didn't he kill Mu Chengbai? Why could Mu Chengbai not die in a foppish fool's hand?" The man in white raised his eyelids and spoke peacefully, "There is no absolute in our world. Even if the chance of him killing Mu Chengbai is one percent or lower, that still doesn't make it impossible, and it simply means, that he could actually be the murderer!"

The Lan/Ye clan are slacking. A clan relies on their descendants for continuing prosperity. If a clan has a single heir, then their business interests will eventually rely on that single heir for continuity. This becomes a weak point for a clan, because having a single heir creates a single person whose death could affect the strength and standing of the clan. This can put the clan/family in danger, as well as endanger the sole heir. Having multiple heirs helps to alleviate this issue, albeit at the risk of creating a succession conflict.

Among the three clans, the clan of Zuo was somehow stronger than the other two - the clan of Lan and the clan of Ye. Zuo Wuji had elder brothers, and he was substantially given up by the clan because of his disease. Ye Xiao was the only son of the Ye clan, while Lan Langlang was also the only son of the Lan clan…
