Chapter 34: I Will Protect You

“It’s just a pity that after all these years, even after exhausting all the resources of the Xu family, I still haven’t managed to uncover what truly happened back then,” Old Master Xu sighed, his voice heavy with remorse.

Lin Yu looked at Old Master Xu, who was blaming himself, and offered comfort: “Old Master Xu, you don’t have to reproach yourself. I believe the truth will come to light one day. Now that I know about this, I will make sure to root them out, one by one…”

He gave a faint, almost imperceptible smile. In the end, she hadn’t chosen him after all, had she? If that was the case, what else could he possibly desire?

Paying the medical expenses was merely a temporary solution for Wen Rou’s urgent needs, a last resort. Transferring her to a new ward, however, would only add to her psychological burden.

“Jingjing, I like you. I think you’re the one most suited to be my wife!” Lu Jiannong confessed.

“You’re the King of Ghosts. Only you can seal the city gates. It’s simple—just place your hand on the gate, and they’ll close automatically. No vengeful spirit, no matter how fierce, will be able to come in or out.” After hearing Xiao Mo’s words, I refused to take another step.

In an instant, I swam over to the Serpent Spirit Flowers. Gazing at the six blossoms, each with white petals and a yellow heart, I uprooted them and transferred them to the Chaos Realm, then swam southward.

By the time we reached the county and found a suitable car, dawn had already broken. The strange red glow over the Li residence had spread throughout the town; someone had even taken videos and photos.

“Why haven’t you sent them to the operating room on the second floor yet? If you must operate here, at least move them soon.” Lu Haoming snapped, his tone intentionally sour, tinged with a trace of grievance.

At the scene, after the explosion, no one dared to approach the area. The flames were too intense, and more importantly, it was unclear if there would be another blast. This meant they had given up on saving An Jinyan and Tao Yue.

The crowd was stunned. Even Huo Qiang was taken aback. He had fought Tang Song once before and knew he was powerful, but he never imagined he’d be this formidable.

The wealthy people around looked at those who couldn’t afford the wine with a growing sense of disdain in their eyes.

Sun Wei frowned, not understanding his meaning. But as the bell signaling the start of class rang, he had no choice but to turn and leave the classroom. Of course, like anyone whose pursuit had ended in disappointment, he glanced back at Lin Xiaoxiao before stepping out.

Saint Yunlan actually gave her such a gift! It was unbelievable. Something so precious—shouldn’t he have kept it for himself?

Fine, Director Jin, you win! Totori knew exactly what he was shouting—things like “calm down” and “oh damn.” Weren’t those panda emojis supposed to be for chatting, not this?

The golden-haired, gallant youth from the Milky Way finally couldn’t take it anymore. Fortunately, at that moment, Mom and Dad emerged from the bathroom. They exchanged meaningful glances with Totori, conveying some secret message, and began calling the maids to start work, giving Chen Lan a much-needed reprieve.

Slaying two true-saint level enemies in one go had drained him immensely. Though replenished by their vital essence, he still felt waves of weakness wash over him. There was no helping it; any true-saint was never easy to kill. To survive, one had to give their all.

The courtyard was not large. The stone walls outside were taller than two men, the main gate tightly shut. The couplet on the doorframe was faded and peeling from years of rain, leaving the red paint pale and ghostly.

“Yes!” The outrider wheeled his horse and spurred it on. A moment later, several tribesmen, wounded and pale, were brought before Uwei.

“I understand,” Origami Tsubasa responded, affirming with a nod, then walked slowly toward the place where Chen Mingtong stood.

Annie lifted her eyes, gazing at Su Luoman, then looked at Nangong Qingquan and Su Yurou. In her beautiful, sapphire-blue eyes, there was so much helplessness—so much deep sorrow.
