Chapter 48

After saying these words, without caring whether the servants had listened clearly or remembered them, Gao Qiu stood up and strode straight out of the living room.

"Tch, what a hypocritical drama queen," Pei Yi said with a look of utter disgust, turning her eyes away as she couldn't even be bothered to watch Ye Zhirou's performance.

Speaking of the comprehension of Daoist classics, Lei Hu was second to none. Even looking across the entire cultivation world, there were very few who could surpass him in this regard.

Beibei released her grip with a sense of helplessness, and the remote control slid from her lap onto the bed. She hadn't wanted to come; she hadn't wanted to come at all. She was regretting it once more.

Seeing her expression, the maid did not dare to say much more, and picking up the basket filled with clothes, she walked out of Guan Muxi's room.

Yet in merely this brief moment, Ye Mu had already detected the presence of the fiery intent within, along with three core boundary runes.

No wonder there was such a grand spectacle and such a massive array. She had been wondering who possessed such immense influence to mobilize the entire imperial capital and bring about nationwide celebration.

However, love is a lifetime commitment. Even if she found her mother, Su Xiaoxiao would still choose Xuanyuan Mo. As a modern person from the twenty-first century, she refused to be bound by the rigid constraints of ancient times.

Meanwhile, dozens of paper figurines swarmed forward. With a single slash of my blade, I forced them back, grabbed the judge's wrist with one hand, pulled his body back towards me, and drove my long saber straight through his torso.

Jia Baoyu, sitting nearby, had kept his bright, watery eyes fixed on Xue Baochai ever since she stepped through the door. At this moment, echoing Lady Jia's words, he chimed in.

Indeed, Zhou Yu did not see any unusual changes following his words; the warrior who looked identical to the Red Army did not appear, nor did any other enemies show themselves. Zhou Yu was now completely trapped within an illusion from which escape seemed utterly impossible.

By that time, no matter how the White Jade Immortal Court chose to respond to this matter, Xu Qi would accept it all in stride.

"Zhou Yu, with the Red Army here, you can try enduring the mental shock within this place," at that moment, Moling, who had been "playing dead" all along, suddenly spoke up.

Although he had not yet formally assumed the position of Sect Master, he knew that the moment he acquired the final golden rune, he had already gained the approval of Jiang Zongheng, the founding patriarch of the Haoran Sect. From then on, he was the bona fide seventh-generation chief disciple of the Haoran Sect; taking office as Sect Master was merely a formality, as the four elders led by Zhao Dong had long since tacitly acknowledged his status.

"Rest assured, Teacher Xiao and Senior Brother Lei are living quite comfortably. Before I left, they specifically asked me to pass along a message to you should I ever cross paths with you in the Xuantian Continent: they are doing very well, and they hope you will take good care of yourself," Yun Fan turned his head and smiled as he spoke.

"Why do you call it the future hope of the human race? Isn't human life doing quite well right now?" Mo Liu asked with some confusion.

He had experienced a failure once before, and the condensed mental power within his mind had been abruptly shattered, followed by a terrifying, agonizing pain in his head—as if countless tiny, sharp blades were spinning inside his brain, driving him to the verge of collapse.

Mo Liu could not make sense of it, and the old man was not going to provide any answers, leaving him with no choice but to check the mission panel.

Of course, the continuation of the other half would undoubtedly become extremely difficult, and Zhou Yu had made thorough preparations for this aspect as well.

"The Lord's actions in Bohai have already made him famous throughout the land, but this is largely restricted to the aristocratic and influential clans of the world; ordinary commoners know very little about it."

"What is this?" Wang Wei asked, finally unable to contain his curiosity as he gazed at this miraculous sight.

Although the young man looked fair, tender, and rather pretty, the body beneath his clothes was riddled with countless holes and covered in scars.

The most crucial part was that I could no longer sense the Old Celestial Master. Although my physical eyes could see him sitting cross-legged right here, and I could indeed feel that he was standing before me, with his heart beating and breathing just like anyone else...

Hearing Zhang Zifan shout out his name once again, Yu hurriedly made a silencing gesture towards him and glanced around to check if anyone else was present.

She was in perfectly good health; since when had she reached the point where she needed to enjoy leisure and stop doing any work at all?

"No way, no way!" Liu Ying exclaimed, her face brimming with astonishment as if she had just discovered a new continent.

Ever since getting into the car, both Zhong Canyang and Chen Haozian had seemed emotionally off. In the past, if the three of them gathered together, they were guaranteed to start bickering within three minutes. But Lu Chenxi noticed that this time, neither of them was willing to speak a word. The atmosphere instantly turned frigid, and the temperature inside the car seemed to drop by several degrees.

Judging by the circumstances at the time, if Su Ling'er were to truly meet with disaster, not only might Cangcai City vanish, but perhaps the entire Dome Realm would be destroyed as well.

Over there, before the bandit could even react, Qian Yiliu knocked him unconscious and successfully captured the stronghold.

Wang Tianlai was certainly right about one thing: perhaps people knew very little about spiders, or what they did know was merely superficial.

"You've all gone blind!" the old man suddenly shouted, his entire body trembling violently, seemingly shivering with rage.

Previously, Cheng Guo and I had taken things too lightly, thinking that as long as we held a nominal part-time title, we could work whenever we wanted and it wouldn't matter if we didn't.

Although local ruffians engaged in extortion and oppression, most of their gains had to be handed over to their powerful backers. While they lived relatively carefree lives, they lacked the means to sustain a daily diet of five-color chicken.

"Young lady need not worry; this humble person harbors no ill intent." Lu Ping seemed perpetually capable of peering straight into her innermost thoughts, which only served to make Mo Xie feel even more terrified.

Despite saying this, he was already fully aware of the sequence of events. That his originally honest and dutiful son could commit such a ruthless act completely exceeded his expectations.

The hazy white light outside seemed to exude an invisible allure, tempting me to press forward.

At this moment, Wang Jie was "teary-eyed." Of course, that was an exaggeration, but this was the first time since the bar opened over a month ago that a queue had formed outside. Prior to this, it had mostly been deserted.

I looked down at Wang Xueke, who was cowering at my feet. At this moment, all his previous aloofness had vanished, along with the domineering arrogance he had displayed when beating up his classmates.
