Chapter Thirty-Four: Obstinacy

More than half a year ago, Prince Fu had already sent someone to contact him. Perhaps having heard of his bravery and prowess in the military, Prince Fu's representatives made it clear that if he were to lend his support, the future merit of helping a monarch ascend the throne would be a blessing others could only dream of.

However, Chang Wei refused at the time. He was a simple, rough man who had been toughening himself in army camps since he was a teenager, far removed from the imperial court, and he did not understand the convoluted schemes of the succession struggle. Whether it was the Crown Prince, Prince Qing, or Prince Fu, he had no interest in any of them.

In the driving wind and rain, Guan Zhichun and Lu Lin each held an umbrella, waiting outside the park. Compared to the bedraggled state of their lower bodies, the sorrow on their faces was far more complex.

Li Tao tugged at Tang Yihuan’s hand. "Come with me for a moment!" After saying this, she pulled Tang Yihuan into a lounge on the first floor. The room was not very large, containing only a table. Li Tao pressed Tang Yihuan onto the sofa and poured him a glass of water.

She did not know if this deep, reckless attachment was right or wrong. He was naturally handsome, and when he occasionally cast a gentle glance her way, his eyes seemed to smile like a spring breeze. She had wanted to tell him that she couldn't bear to leave.

"Forget it, I’d better give the instructions myself." The matter was of great importance; Boss Ying dared not take any chances or be careless. If something were to go wrong, the loss would far outweigh any potential gain.

Xu Rui narrowed his eyes as he looked at him. After a moment of silence, he said, "Why should I regret or feel sad? If she truly doesn't want to marry me, then she shouldn't. It’s not as if I, Xu Rui, cannot live without her." With that, he picked up his gourd and took another drink of wine.

"I’m sorry, I have cavities, and I’m afraid of getting diabetes. My instructor would scold me! If I fail the physical, I won't be able to become a Doomsday Warrior!" Tang Yihuan said.

There had been no one around just a moment ago, and her master walked without a sound. She wondered if he had deliberately hidden himself to ambush her, and she felt deeply frustrated.

The outside world was also watching Zhang Chen intently. There was only half a cup of tea’s time left before the three-day limit. Everyone else had already emerged, but Zhang Chen had not. People had previously assumed he had died inside, yet unexpectedly, he appeared in these final moments.

The bloodstains on her white dress were shocking, stinging his eyes and his heart. Yet, he still tugged at the corners of his mouth, forcing a smile as he spoke words of comfort.

"Mr. Guan's company has impressive strength. It seems you intend to purchase several priceless antiques today," the Sea King said, intentionally provoking him.

During this time, how to block the Charles family's offensive was Celine's problem. But there was no need to tell Yadu and the others about such things; they were already engaged in kidnapping, so telling a few lies was no difficulty for Celine.

These people were somewhat agitated by the Heavenly Court's canonization. Having attained the fruit of a Heavenly Lord, they would henceforth be figures of note in the world. People can never escape the pursuit of fame and fortune, and in truth, even gods and Buddhas are no exception.

"It is of no consequence. It is nothing. After recuperating in Taiqing Lake for a few hundred or a thousand years, I will recover," the old turtle said, sounding slightly weak.

Yin Feng smiled and rubbed his nose. Clearly, Mu Gen believed he had only entered the Inner Peak after breaking through to the Alchemy Realm at the Northern Outer Gate.

However, this car truly gave him the capital to show off; the seven-million-price tag said it all.

"I am a man who fears death, but that does not prevent me from admiring those who sacrifice their lives without a second thought," Zhao Si said weakly.

But how could a single wizard contend with the combined forces of the Li family ancestor and Hoger? Even if the wizard had managed to escape using his ability to fly, he was already critically wounded and dying. By the time the Li family ancestor and Hoger found the corpse, so much time had passed that the wizard's inner essence had already begun to deteriorate.

Bits and pieces from decades ago surfaced before his eyes—the beauty he had missed, the things he had failed to cherish, which led to his current loss.
