Chapter 76

“Did Mom and Dad go on a trip just to avoid those people?” Su Zijun asked coldly, her face grim.

Teng Ruoxi and the others paid no attention to such matters and began eating heartily. Whenever they tasted something especially delicious, they hastened to serve Long Pianpian more food.

“Is that so? Why don’t we go and see for ourselves?” With those words, Bilu and Yellow Spring stepped forward together and seized Shi Qianqian.

At this, everyone fell silent. None of them knew this was done by Yang Ming, but the thought of being targeted by someone as ruthless as Death, and being killed in such a cruel manner, sent chills down their spines.

Gu Shaoyang was thoroughly pleased with breakfast. He first sipped half a cup of coffee, then took a bite of whole wheat bread, utterly satisfied.

“Hey.” A simple, unremarkable word slipped from Xia Yiyun’s lips, yet it was enchanting and captivating.

Jueling forced himself to press on, suppressing the chill that ran through him, and extended a spirit pearl toward the Snow Palace Master, his head bowed.

If he turned around now, wouldn’t that seem odd? Gu Shaoyang gazed at her, his eyes deep and enigmatic. It wasn’t her figure that drew his attention, but rather the reaction he felt expected to display.

The Silver Fox of a Thousand Faces knew escape was impossible tonight. The three surrounded him tightly, leaving no route out, and two more masters circled on the periphery.

No sooner had they stepped out than they were trapped by the Five Elements Formation. The surrounding mystical energy seemed to form a vortex, pulling all five of them into its center.

“Elder Qian, please, no, I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong!” At this point, all Sun Ming could do was admit his fault as quickly as possible, lest Shi Mingxuan lose his job as well.

As the saying goes, never bully the young and poor. To kick someone when they’re down, only to shamelessly cling to their glory later, is truly the mark of the brazen.

North of the Wei River and south of Huaide County, more than a hundred cavalrymen galloped swiftly along a straight road. Ever since receiving Huayu’s secret message yesterday, Xiang Zhuang had left his troops in haste and crossed the river northward.

“Your Majesty, forgive me! This old servant was late in coming to your aid and caused you fright. My crime is deserving of death!” As soon as Min Ran entered the training hall, he fell to his knees. The imperial guards behind him all knelt to beg forgiveness as well.

Moments later, the silence was suddenly broken by the shouts of a few players. Yi Tianchen’s heart skipped a beat. A ruthless gleam flashed across his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled in a cold smile.

It is precisely because you are so sincere with Ahan, and even show a little concern for me, that I cannot deceive you, nor use you.

Two months slipped by in a flash. The two of them remained in the forest, focused solely on their cultivation, yet never felt bored. After all, with the resolve from their previous lives, spending decades in solitary seclusion was nothing new—this was nothing at all.

With a dull thud, Scar was sent flying by Li Xiaoyun’s blow. But Li Xiaoyun showed no mercy, pressing his advantage and raining down blows on Scar like a violent storm.

Fortunately, time could be killed in secluded cultivation. Otherwise, the longing would have been too torturous to bear.

Mr. Qu reached out to help them up, speaking gently and offering many words of congratulations. Smiling, he remarked on the hardships they had shared, saying they were as siblings now. As his sister prepared to marry, a gesture was in order. He quietly slipped a red envelope into He Yong’s palm.

Ye Han continued to act kindly, but he understood that no matter how friendly he appeared, in the other’s eyes, it was all but a façade. In this world, there would always be misunderstood people and events—such is human nature.

With a splash, the sound echoed off the stone walls, magnified several times. He wanted to ask, but the noise had already passed behind him.

“If I managed to obtain a Spirit Pearl, could I also be reborn in fire?” Ye Han thought excitedly. The object was not yet in his hands, but he was already thrilled by its potential.

That watch exhibition was truly a grand event in the domestic watch enthusiast community, opening many ordinary players’ eyes.

The other party was a man in his early twenties, with short hair, about one meter seventy-five, quite handsome and familiar-looking, with a gentle voice.

At first, Yang Jie tried to stop it, thinking it was absolutely out of the question, but seeing Qiao Jin’s attitude, he held his tongue.

Tang Mo had already heard: during her absence from the base, a new and exciting place had opened—the Alliance Auction House.

But Wu Yazi’s status and influence in the entire Kunlun Realm were no less than that of the Immortal Lord. Thus, the Immortal Lord needed a suitable excuse to act, to maintain legitimacy. In truth, it was nothing but arrogance and obstinacy.

The next great harvest, of course, was the spiritual herbs sent by the Holy Servant Tribe, as well as those that Huang Xuanling had found in the mysterious valley.

He slowly raised his hands, feeling utterly weak. Power, cultivation—all was gone. He was now as ordinary as anyone, just as in his memories.

Housekeeper Nan prattled on, and Mu Li grew rather sleepy, unable to stifle a yawn. Nangong Mo certainly had his share of quirks.

“Xueqing, haven’t you already heard? The boss has been studying abroad in Australia for the past ten years,” Mu Li answered, feigning composure.

“How is that possible? In just a few days, he advanced to the third level of the Body Refining Realm?” Li Yujiao was so shocked she jumped from her seat, staring in disbelief at Li Yuanwei. In no time at all, Li Yuanlong was barely able to defend himself, with no strength left to fight back.
