Zhu Yixuan, no longer willing to visit the pink barbershop for a haircut, naturally set his sights on Tong Xueman instead. Mr. Wu Yueqiang had come specifically to compete for the vacant position of Vice Chairman of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce. It was just like the time Shen Fei first deployed the Cloud-Piercing Formation; by using weapons instead of stones, he discovered the true power of the grand formation. As Ji Changsheng let out a shout of "Increase," everyone felt the gravity pressing down on them suddenly intensify more than tenfold. How awkward that would have been! Shen Menghui pulled her down without another word and managed to coax her with a few half-hearted remarks. When Shen Tian went to buy food, he did indeed attract some strange looks, but he didn't pay much mind to them at the time, and once he produced his token, no one bothered to pay attention to his attire anymore. In front of the main entrance to the Namtso scenic area, the very place where Mo Long and Tian Peng had been blocked earlier, the parking lot and the wide road in front of the ticket office were already packed with all kinds of vehicles. Meanwhile, the instructor silently offered a moment of sympathy for the person being challenged; whoever it was, they would have to show a modicum of respect, even if it meant just going through the motions on the challenge stage, though that wasn't really his concern. Everyone laughed and showered Shen Chuyan with praise, complimenting his potential and declaring he would surely achieve great things. They remarked on how hard his parents must have worked to raise such an outstanding child. Xi Xin didn't even have time to serve her parents-in-law, as her first priority was to serve a bowl of chicken soup to Zhang Nana. She dared not move, feeling as though she might even stop breathing; she hoped that if she stayed perfectly still, the pain would subside, yet it continued to sweep through every cell in her body. Because of Xiu Qiqi's performance in this mission, and because Chang Guanyan had established contact with the high-ranking officials of the Huaguo military through her, he found himself better informed than the Chang family, especially regarding military matters.

As a guild leader, there were simply too many matters for him to handle. He could still find the time to sit down and chat with his brothers, but for others, he could only offer his apologies. As for advice, he really didn't have any. Was he supposed to tell them it was because an esper’s genes were superior? Wan Qi’s success in becoming the city’s top student was due to her own hard work, but there was no denying that her esper genes provided an innate advantage. The next day, the Lu family sent people to deliver the betrothal gifts; one hundred and thirty chests was quite a significant amount. Every chest was filled to the brim, and Zhao Ling’s expression changed the moment she saw them. When he first set foot on this land, he was discovered by a more powerful ancient martial artist. The two challenged each other to a duel, leading to a climactic battle deep within the Serene Forest. Xun Feibai smiled warmly, his gaze bold and unreserved as he stared at Ye Qingcheng. A soft light flickered in his eyes, making his whole being seem to radiate, which was quite a sight to behold. "But the Marquis of Anyang seems very concerned about this. He was frantic yesterday when he couldn't find the Princess. In all the time I've known him, I've never seen the Marquis look like that." Yu Ning'er felt a twinge of bitterness; some things didn't need to be said when they were so clearly reflected in one's eyes. "Hong, the boss has trained you for so long, why retire early? Your mission isn't finished yet!" The man driving had blonde hair, blue eyes, and sharp, angular features. Even behind his sunglasses, he exuded a cold, murderous aura. Watching the diligent and earnest way Murong Hao handled everything, Liang Yue was deeply moved. If she had been angry before that he refused to acknowledge her despite having regained his memories, her grudges now vanished, as she understood her place in his heart. She also began to dimly understand why the aloof Lord Xie would linger in the mountain stronghold and form bonds with the people there. She could only pin her hopes on luck, biting the bullet and jumping down, not daring to meet the instructor's gaze. Before the words had even faded, his long blade rose and fell, and the arm of a Level 2 zombie was cleanly severed. However, Li Feichen knew very well that expecting Qin Feiyuan to ignore him, or to stop interfering as he wished, was simply impossible.

Even if this move couldn't destroy the Nascent Soul within a cultivator, it was certainly enough to obliterate their physical body. "You! You wanted to get me killed! You spoke so urgently I thought something had happened to you!" Once he caught his breath, Zhou Ruobin pointed at his older sister to complain. Ignoring the questions from his subordinates, Wang Mang simply slung his bag over his shoulder and walked toward a jeep, appearing ready to depart. A short while later, when he opened his eyes again, Lin Nan saw that his irises were glowing with a red light, and a faint, flickering curse mark was visible upon them. Lin Zhou nodded, then let out a deep yawn, her eyelids struggling to stay open as they desperately clung together. "Our Wutong Academy has a heritage of over eleven hundred years and has seen seven generations of deans to reach its current scale. The reason we have flourished for so long without decline is entirely due to the Soul-Refining Qianxin Cave behind our academy—it is the forbidden ground of Wutong Academy." The scene before them seemed to confirm Luo Yun’s theory; since many people were here for the Great Rejuvenation Pill, the bidding war was as chaotic as dozens of people shouting at once. From a distance, the space in front of Liu Fan seemed to distort, a vast and majestic aura bearing down on Zhao Yu. Though it was unclear how he knew the method to use the Flame God Token, it was undoubtedly through the power of the token that he achieved this. Regarding the military camp, Gui Jiuyi was far more familiar with its workings than Lin Ye or Jingxin. His two hundred years of military life meant he knew every detail of camp affairs like the back of his hand, which was why he had become an invaluable general for the Northern King, a great lord of the Mangyuan region who commanded a vast territory.
