The latter. The raw comic shortened the name, making it seem like the Shaolin skill.

@Valve It's an established fact that he's working in the palace though. A male cannot work in the inner courts of the palace unless he's castrated. There's no reason to suspect that he isn't actually a eunuch when he's already serving as one. Even the emperor wanted to see his "thing" to confirm...

@youdontknowwho Hmm. Based on the website, they are supposed to be separate productions, although [3] and [4] could be the same thing. This is assuming that the website info is accurate, which may not be, since anyone seems to be able to edit the website. There's no source listed in the website...

@youdontknowwho This adaptation doesn't include the prequel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Young_Flying_Fox

@a_tumiwa The manor master, Du Ximeng, is supposed to be a good friend of Miao Renfeng (as revealed in the couplet that Miao gave him). So Miao simply trusted his friend to keep his daughter safe. @YerRob He has a reason for that, which will be revealed later.

This world building seems somewhat incoherent. The MC was disinherited due the bad result of his magic power measurement in Chapter 1, yet his uncle said in Chapter 3 that magic power cannot be measured... 🙄

I just submitted a report to remove (Phoenix Entertainment) from the title. I don't know why it's there, but "Phoenix Entertainment" is NOT part of the title. The publisher is already included in the "Artist" field, so there shouldn't be any confusion with adaptations by other publishers. Do...

@a_tumiwa It's the vice commander of the imperial body guards in the 3rd edition (2006) novel. Chapter 15 - http://www.jinyongwang.com/nlu/2167.html 康熙笑着将那道敕令读了一遍。韦小宝伸了伸舌头，道：“是御前侍卫副总管，厉害，厉害，还赏穿黄马褂呢。”康熙微笑道：“多隆虽是总管，可没黄马褂穿。你这事如能办得妥当，回宫后再升你的官。只不过你年纪太小，官儿太大了不像样，咱们慢慢地来。”韦小宝道：“官大官小，我也不在乎，只要常常能跟你见面，那就很好了。”

@youdontknowwho Jademan's adaptation was cut short at Yunnan arc. The story was never finished. Furthermore, that format is difficult to scanlate into English due to its panel sizes and arrangements. It's impossible to fit the English words without making the font too small to read. I've...

@a_tumiwa Hmm. If you are talking about this - http://www.1kkk.com/manhua3810/ It's really hard to typeset in English because of the size of the text boxes. English sentences tend to take up more space than Chinese, and even the Chinese text is really small. Expanding the text box is a problem...

PC problems. Upload of next chapter will be delayed. 😞

To be fair, the emperor didn't know that the empress dowager has been trying to kill the protagonist. It's within her rights as the empress dowager to order eunuchs around, so he didn't have a reason to refuse her.

@johnpoop2529 This isn't the typical harem stories that you'd find in Japanese manga. Read the translator's note at the end of Chapter 0 to get an idea of what to expect and not to expect from this story.

@moel Xiaobao is supposed to start as a teenager and then grows into an adult in his thirties. The entire story covers a period of about 20 years. 1669 - Oboi captured/died 1673 - Revolt of the 3 Feudatories began 1681 - Revolt of the 3 Feudatories ended 1683 - Kingdom of Tungning annexed 1689...

This seems to me like the 17th century's version of pay-to-win.
