Volume One, Chapter 29: The Sisters Who Come to the Rescue

“Here’s a thought: why don’t you just consider this shop handed over to me?” Nie Fenghua suddenly uttered an unexpected remark.

As he rose, their eyes met. Pei Ruorong had never seen a man with such a face before; for a moment, she was utterly stunned.

But she had to finish speaking—convince Situ Ling—without revealing the truth. Given Situ Ling’s nature, she could never keep such a secret.

...

When Li Yu reached the fiftieth floor, another group of cultivators arrived below, gazing at the enormous display screen. They murmured, “Is Li Yu the contestant sent from Triumph City, situated between the True Spirit Domain and the Divine Spirit Domain?”

Nie Fenghua lifted his gaze and saw the crown prince accompanied by only one man—his phoenix-like eyes slightly upturned, thin lips pressed lightly together, exuding an aura both enchanting and captivating.

Ye Fei scratched the back of his head, sighed silently at his misfortune, closed the co-pilot door, and walked to the other side to get in.

“Are you really sure you don’t want to add another layer of clothing?” Nie Fenghua couldn’t help but voice his concern.

Hua Yusha laughed nearby, then glanced over at Situ Qianzhi, who had already dozed off in the front seat.

Li Haifeng was momentarily stunned; before he could turn his head, a fierce gust of wind struck him. Suddenly, he felt as if a massive iron hammer had smashed his waist, and his body uncontrollably flew backward.

In the Li family courtyard, figures stood tall, each gripping a weapon—mostly blunt instruments like clubs. At this moment, none dared to use blood-shedding swords or knives.

Gu Nai’s lips curved into a smile. Although her hands were bound and she could do nothing, the eyes she cast toward Yi Zhantong were filled with disdain and a confident air of assured victory.

I decided to punish my little girl for turning her arm outward, so I ignored her the whole way. She seemed to forget me, her mother, entirely and instead bombarded Situ Yunzhe with a hundred questions. I immediately felt isolated.

“Congratulations on ranking among the top five in this morning’s test. As a reward, please gather in the hotel lobby at five o’clock this evening. Director Su will take you all out for dinner.”

“Auntie, honestly, even without that Situ, Chen Chen and I would never have been possible,” I said with a pang, explaining again to Mother Chen.

Standing on one leg before him, a pair of large, copper-like eyes glared fiercely. Yu Minghai hurriedly summoned a pair of iron hammer talismans and fiercely struck toward the Kui Bull.

Sun Ru glanced at Li Shangshan’s composed smile and curled her lips, as if seeing through him completely, her face filled with concealed disdain.

No matter how he dodged, no matter what spatial barriers he erected, Sagrath’s Burning Hand seemed unstoppable, stubbornly smashing toward his forehead.

“What?” Someone looked at Andy, utterly perplexed, unable to fathom the workings of his mind.

At this point, Li Hao was unaware of the impending disaster. At the very least, Wang Feiyang, the head of the Wang Group, hated him to the core, and more schemes against Li Hao were surely forthcoming.

“The sea of suffering is extinguished; life parts ways. You should understand this truth. I merely used some special means to temporarily preserve your life,” the voice of Elder Xing echoed.

“Because my child felt unwell, I took him to the hospital to see a doctor,” Chen Qiang said dejectedly.

Jiang Yi had no other choice now. His powers were sealed; only the Three-Life Stone could be utilized, and he had no option but to join forces with the Sword Saint.

Li Hao stepped out of the carriage, lightly patted his clothes, and naturally stood before the other carriages. With a cigarette dangling from his lips, he looked downright handsome.

“Reward my foot! I still have to clean up your mess!” Yao Jiaxuan said, half laughing, half crying.

“Junhao, what must I say for you to believe me? No one but you has ever touched me,” she said, her large eyes brimming with tears as she looked at him. He wanted to believe her, to reach out and embrace her, but what he had seen and heard forced him to doubt.

Yet when the barefoot immortal master and others heard the words “Rakshasa Star,” the expressions on their faces, which had just regained some composure, instantly flickered with shock and terror.

At this moment, Yu Ming noticed two young men dressed as soldiers fiercely arguing over a notice board. It seemed to mention some of his policies. Curious, he moved closer.

“How did she insult my royal reputation with words?” Ye Lingyuan seemed to have heard this sentence, his eyes filled with puzzlement.

Those two words—he didn’t know how he uttered them. Even he hadn’t heard his own voice and wondered if he had spoken at all.

Yun Nuannuan recalled Mu Ze saying on the phone that Andy came looking for her at the apartment because he couldn’t reach her.

“What? They entered the palace and never came out?” Song Shijiang grew more anxious and urged his horse to gallop swiftly.

She smiled brightly at him, then turned and ran toward the old woman who had brought her.

Not knowing what it meant, and having no memories related to this master, Ye Wushuang didn’t rashly respond.

“Besides, they say you are my son?” Feng Ye said this while appraising Tang Huan from head to toe, clearly curious.

Linghu Yuan finally noticed the ground piled high with packed bundles and boxes all around him.

Apart from that, what else could unsettle a vigorous young man so suddenly?

The Second Elder staggered as if struck hard in the face, standing in place, looking lonely and desolate from afar.

The group from the Great Luo Sect had arrived. Except for the tall youth leading them, who seemed excited, the other disciples wore expressions of fear as they gazed upon the worn and ancient ruins.

“I feel that this time is not about war, and mere numbers won’t guarantee success. Therefore, I will lead the team myself to personally provide support!” The Grand Elder stroked his beard as he said.

Jun Wuji saw him frown in distress but didn’t comfort him. Instead, he chuckled and went to refine medicine.

Witnessing this scene, the disciples of the Forbidden Sky Sword Sect thought the Clear Bright Twelve Nights were about to deploy some sneaky tactic again. Suddenly, they all cultivated true energy, and the force of their qi stirred up a strong wind sweeping across the grass.
