Chapter Twenty-Nine: Go Rinse Your Mouth Out

Although Qin Yanzhou had already given up himself, he knew Qiao Luo had not. He reached out and drew her into his arms. “All right. Then I’ll wait for the day you cure me.”

Qiao Luo clenched her fists. “I definitely will!”

Even if her medical skills were mediocre, didn’t she still have the system? She was already prepared to milk it for everything it was worth.

For the next few days, Qiao Luo went to work diligently every day.

She did indeed discover

“What danger could there be? Besides, isn’t she only coming to see me?” Tong Xinyuan said indifferently. After returning to her room to collect her things, she instructed the bodyguards to go straight to the destination and wait there.

After all the police officers had left, Gao Wanfu cautiously removed the seal and entered Passion. The place was a complete mess. At a loss, Gao Wanfu took out his phone and scrolled through one number after another, unable to decide whom to call. Even if he summoned a hundred thugs, they probably would not dare go to the police station to demand someone’s release.

Only Pei Boxu, as Sheng Zong’s close aide, knew Chen Yizong’s condition and the ultimate truth very well.

As she said this, there was still unmistakable fear and panic in her beautiful eyes.

There was no need to guess: this monk was probably from the collapsed Guanyin Temple. The temple had fallen, yet he still had not left. He had to be a foolish monk of truly unwavering faith.

The two children immediately fell silent. They knew how difficult Tong Xinyuan’s life had been all these years, which was why they had dared to deal with those people on their own. They had never expected things to end like this. Fortunately, neither of them had been hurt; otherwise, no one could say what might have happened.

Mi Yun watched as Yu Nong entered the back hall, then watched the shopkeeper wrap up the clothes. Added to the two people’s radiant expressions, it was clear that saying anything would be futile.

Zhang Xin looked at Zhu Di’s confident, spirited smile, then at the secret edict clutched tightly in his hand. He suddenly understood. It seemed that Prince Yan had been prepared long ago—and he himself had already climbed aboard this pirate ship for good.

Shan Xuan neither said she liked it nor that she disliked it. She merely smiled faintly. She rarely touched the things that belonged to Yu Nong, but after spending so much time together day and night, how many of her belongings could she really have failed to see?

Yue Xiaoyao leapt into the air and thrust his sword once more at the serpent’s vulnerable spot. This time, he poured all his strength into the attack and finally pierced a hole in the place he had struck before. A black, murky substance flowed from the wound. The giant serpent convulsed and collapsed to the ground. Its triangular head thrashed several times before it finally died.

“You truly are very shrewd! That’s right, I’m not with the underground party—but neither am I one of your people!” Ling Feng cared nothing for the Revival Society or the Military Statistics Bureau. He knew they were merely different code names for the same sort of organization. In any case, he had no favorable impression of them.

“By the way, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first. I still have some matters to deal with elsewhere.” Zheng Hao said this and immediately rose, leaving the room.

In truth, the exchange between Zhao Liang and Yuling above had taken place in a fleeting moment, like a meeting of minds, and had not consumed much time at all. In the eyes of the black burly men, it looked as though Zhao Liang had merely lowered his head and walked the six or seven meters from where they stood to face them.

By the time she came to her senses, nearly everyone in the classroom had already left. She was the only one remaining.

Who could have known it would come to this? Why regret it now? If they had not framed Wang Hao back then, how could they have needed to offer sacrifices to Heaven and worship the gods? Without those rites, where would the sect’s fortune have come from? And if none of that had happened, how could they have ended up in their present state?

One had to understand that this place was Ascending Dragon Peak in the Spirit Realm. How rich was the spiritual energy here? It was even dense enough to support hundreds of people breaking through to the Qi Sea Realm at the same time. It was impossible to imagine how immense that spiritual energy was. Yet now, all of it was being used by Wang Hao alone.

“Wu Hao of Chaoyang Academy. I look forward to your guidance.” Wu Hao cupped his hands and revealed his weapon: a long silver spear.
