He swallowed his pride and went to Ye Jingcheng to plead for mercy, hoping that before arresting his father, Ye Jingcheng would let him speak with him first.
Luo Tianhuan kept Old Gao’s words firmly in mind. After the national competition, he planned to find Olicia and ask her about it; she ought to know something. Still, Luo Tianhuan had always felt that something about Old Gao’s manner when they met that day had been strange. That man seemed to be suspicious of him for some reason.
“What exactly do you mean, Mr. Stephen?” Zhang Jialiang truly did not understand. It was his first time meeting Stephen, and when Lin Lijian had introduced him earlier, he had not clearly explained Stephen’s identity.
At first, he had never intended to make money from it. One day, a classmate suddenly approached him. At first, the payment was snacks, but later it became cash. He had never asked for any of it.
Wu Yue’s plan had originally been quite reasonable: he would break in from the front and create chaos, driving the ghouls inside the restaurant toward the back entrance, the rooftop, and the underground passage. Heavy forces had been stationed at all three places, so they would certainly be able to wipe them out in one stroke.
She curled her fingers, lightly rubbing the pads against the layer of curled lashes beneath her eyelid. Mo Jiuchen leaned over in response and gently brushed against the back of her hand.
“Wh-why?” What was so important about this place that someone would threaten her with a knife and forbid her from coming again? She remembered that she had visited several times before. Why had no one ever told her she could not come?
Luo Tianhuan and the others were all startled. Support buff skills had only appeared after the version update, and a skill that granted everyone night vision was no less rare than Luo Tianhuan’s Shattered Sky Flowing Light Slash.
Gou Sheng felt as though all the blood in his body had begun to boil. It seemed to have acquired a life of its own, roaring through his veins.
People loved to speak of one lifetime together, and since this was another lifetime together, then no matter how many thoughts she had, they ought to have nothing to do with her previous life—especially since that life had not been particularly happy.
“Su County? How is Magistrate Du?” In Emperor Yun’s impression, Su County seemed to be doing fairly well. After all, it was so close to the capital, Red City. Even if someone wished to break the law or commit some other misdeed, they would think twice before daring to act.
That unmistakable feeling of familiarity deepened little by little, making it truly impossible for her to bring herself to abandon it.
Long Xuankong’s gaze swept over the others once more. He raised his hand and pointed at one man—another martial master, though this one was a supreme martial master.

The admonitions Yan Qing had given her during the day and the wet nurse’s instructions that night seemed to intertwine in her mind. The struggle between going and staying tormented her, but in the end, concern outweighed everything else. Yu Xi rushed recklessly into the darkness.
“There is no medicine.” Qing Ying sighed. She truly wished there were some medicine that could cure her master’s illness, but where could one so easily find a miraculous elixir? She had attended him earlier and noticed that the master’s complexion had remained poor. He had shown little respect toward Perfected Yu, whereas she had prayed earnestly and treated him with the utmost reverence, eventually begging Perfected Yu to bestow some medicine upon him.
She had grown this old, yet this was the first time anyone had caught her in the act. She had merely been eavesdropping, so why did she feel as guilty as a thief? Besides, she had not heard anything at all.
Within the Profound Heaven Martial Academy, there was certainly more than one faction seeking her life. Some might even risk everything to carry out an assassination.
The Heart-Linking Scallion Spirit possessed extremely high intelligence. Seeing its host injured, it was consumed by fury. Its two emerald leaves waved frantically, while its stalk and garlic-like bulb flashed with white light. Crystalline beams shot toward Jin Sanpang in a torrential barrage, like pear blossoms driven before a storm.
When Xiao Jun saw the trace of panic in her eyes as she looked up at him, along with the faint flush spreading across her face, his mood brightened considerably. At last, he had seen her panic and grow bashful as well.
The jade pendant Jiang Xuan possessed was no ordinary piece. It was worth at least several hundred thousand, and even money might not have been enough to buy one. For a high school student, it was an exceedingly generous gift.
“I don’t know the specifics either. If you want to know, go ask the lord yourself.” Zhang Lei’s face was also filled with confusion as he answered Zhang Hu helplessly.
Yao Mucheng did not know whether he was referring to the quota granted by the Divine Eternity Academy or to the final number of candidates selected. After hesitating, he began, “Elder Hua, I... I never expected the number to exceed the quota by so much. At the time, I only wanted to lend everyone a hand. Who could have known that afterward...” Before he could finish, Elder Hua interrupted him.
Zhiyin had never drunk red wine. She did not dare to drink it, afraid that she might embarrass herself later. It was better to stick with a soft drink.
They returned to the area before the elevated platform at the practice grounds. Countless cultivators were rushing back from all directions. Elder Hua climbed onto the platform, but Dean Bei and the others had yet to arrive.
A sudden idea flashed through Chen Xinghai’s mind. Rather than passively allowing her to tease him, he might as well tease her first and frighten her away.
Hou Tianhen lowered his head slightly. If not for him this time, the Hundred Demons Hall would not have suffered such heavy losses. The main culprit was the shameless powerhouse from the Demon Refining Sect, who had actually dared to attack them.

Hao Ye simply could not determine where the chill had come from. Although there were many people around him, he did not believe any of them could give him such a powerful sense of oppression.
The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox prayed inwardly. The objects of its prayers were none other than the Demon Spirit Kings who had altered the rules governing night in the Five Elements World.
Qing Cheng felt the Coiling Dragon Staff strike the hard bluestone ground. Although it smashed a deep pit into the stone, the impact left both his arms numb. Before he could withdraw the staff, his opponent’s heavy sword had already stabbed downward. In his haste, he could only throw himself to the ground and roll several times, narrowly evading the blow.
He possessed tremendous musical talent. The two original songs he had performed during the competition had now become popular singles on all the major music websites.
To speak honestly, Li Feng was extremely furious with Consort Shun, who had been the one to strike. But Li Feng was not someone incapable of distinguishing right from wrong. The person who had secretly incited her was even more detestable.
The person who appeared before Qi Er was not Mo Junyu, but the Mo King’s Token was equivalent to Mo Junyu himself. Wherever the token was present, it was as though he had personally arrived.
Ye Chen called out, pulled the furious Gu Qingqing over, and gave Chu Liangyu a sinister smile. Without saying a word, he jabbed toward him.
Gu Yue’s words confirmed the suspicions in Li Feng’s heart. A wave of nausea surged through her. She pulled a face resembling the aftereffects of a stroke, with her mouth twisted and one eye askew, then turned around to take another look.
Not a single candle had been left burning in the room. It was pitch-black. Ming Yanye sighed, then pushed open the door. By the faint moonlight, he could vaguely make out a mound rising on the bed.
When she had been transported through the island’s teleportation array, she had announced the destination as the Hidden Abyss Valley in the Eastern Starfield. Yet no matter how she looked at it, this place did not resemble a valley at all. She had no idea how far off course she had been sent.
This reunion had come too suddenly and too hurriedly. Neither Yixuan nor Dong Huiying had been psychologically prepared for it.
