Several sages sat around a wide table, playing with their iPhones. Suddenly, a message popped up. "Holy Confucius!" said one of the sages. "There's a special 5 chapter release of ISSTH!" "No way!" said another sage. "Reading ISSTH helps settle the Qi and calm the mind! Let's read it now." Eyes glittering, the sages quickly clicked the link and began to read...

SPECIAL and IMPORTANT announcement below which will surely cause your body to tremble:

I'm very happy to announce that starting this week I'm going to add sponsored chapters to the 7 guaranteed chapters per week. At the moment, I can only add 3 sponsored chapters per week. The current plan is to release them on Wendesday, Friday and Sunday, meaning those days would have 2 chapter releases. The total maximum chapters per week will be 10.

I started with 5 guaranteed chapters, then went to 7. Now I'm adding sponsored chapters to raise it to 10. In the future, maybe I will be able to increase the chapters even more. Keep your fingers crossed for that and burn some incense in your ancestral hall.

P.S. Sorry, I was too busy and tired to come up with a good picture for the sneak peak chapter .... agghhh
