Chapter 53: Unexpected Incident at School, The Formidable Mayor!

……

Yuhime had her reservations about Qiao Jia and the system’s answers.

Yet she had to admit, Qiao Jia’s reply made her attitude toward her far more respectful.

As a pig, what she feared and despised most were the butchers.

But with how well Jia Jia treated her, surely she wouldn’t slaughter her, would she?

At this moment, a battle of thoughts raged in Yuhime’s heart, while Qiao Jia and the system began to discuss their destination.

"Host, where are we going?"

It was a solid reason; over the years, many who had grown weary of the city’s clamor had sought solace in nature, hoping to ease their tired bodies and minds.

The key was the younger generation, for through them one glimpsed the trends of the next hundred years.

After a whole day without food, drinking only a little spring water while traveling, hunger gnawed so fiercely at me that my stomach nearly touched my back. I searched for the busiest, widest street and made my way there.

“I won’t tell you about this, Saul. Let me prepare for a few days, then I’ll quietly close up shop and take care of it,” Chen Yun said.

After that, she trained the hundred disciples selected from the Cloud-Piercing Sect each day. Several elders took the lead, bringing formation arrays to other sects to recruit disciples for the Kyushu Guard’s new ranks.

Passing through an archway into the inner hall, I paused at the sight. The crowd was thick as a swarm of bees, those seeking treatment queued so closely that one only entered as another left. It was surely Ran Sui seeing patients inside. I hurried to the end of the line, guessing I’d be waiting for quite a while.

Then I glanced at the three from the Gentle Series. After Xi Yi made his move, his tall figure leaned back with ease, his calm, water-like gaze resting on me, neither arrogant nor impatient.

White wooden fences, sharply peaked russet roofs, verdant lawns—an exotic charm permeated the place. Inside, European-style cabinets and a classically designed, concealed wine rack revealed the villa’s ingenious design in every detail.

“There, Instructor, look—see how many people there are? There’s a vessel that looks like a spaceship, and a group over there doing who-knows-what. It was there a few days ago when we discovered it, and now it’s grown even larger. It reminds me of the teleportation array we built.”

A single word—“You’re back”—a single look. That is a father: silent, reticent, yet willing to give everything for you.

President Su saw Scarface frozen in place, then glanced around at the fifty or sixty armed young men. Understanding dawned, and he had Bald Wolf carried out.

“It’s nothing serious, really. There’s just someone named Han Jinlong—goes by ‘White Hair’ in some circles. I’m not sure if you know him?” Zhang Mingyu asked.

When he stepped off the stage, the crowd erupted. It meant only one thing: this year’s champion in the couplet contest had emerged. The remaining time was for the poetry competition, and, by tradition, Cai Yan would become the head of the event for seventeen days running.

At that moment, Chu Haotian flew to Qianwu’s side, taking out a cloak to wrap around her. Under the influence of demonic energy, Qianwu wore nothing, and Chu Haotian feared she’d be exposed.

“Great idea—let’s play cards!” the young man with an earring exclaimed, pulling a deck from his bag.

“What’s got you so happy? You look like you just stumbled upon a pile of gold coins,” Wang Yao said with a laugh, watching the triumphant centurion gesture wildly.

Almost instinctively, I wanted to run toward the school, but before I could, the car’s engine roared and it shot toward the school gate. Liu Fatty and the teachers scattered in fright, but the car didn’t crash into them.

But this was only the beginning. If they could keep Yaohui this time, Lin Canghai hoped to build something even greater. That way, they could recruit more people, and the secrecy would be much improved.

A hundred miles away in Case City, Zhan Wudi flashed forward in an instant, speeding toward the location of the miraculous mountain range.
