Chapter 41: Alarm in the Signals, Sudden Peril on the Hazardous Path

Zhan Qingxue looked at the flashing red skull on her phone screen, her heart tightening as a chill crept up her spine.
"What... what kind of ghost is this?" she couldn't help muttering.
Niu Yichen narrowed his eyes, his mind racing at high speed.
A trial?
A test?
This mysterious...
Yet his fiancée had remained silent for a long time before ultimately rejecting his request to reconcile. Her reasoning was that cultivation gained by chance could not last, the path of cultivation was still long, and he could not guarantee he would never fall behind.
Ning Yue's body trembled slightly as she looked at Wu Lanhong's stooped back, forcing down the bitterness rising in her throat.
Overcome with terror, the crowd shoved and pushed each other backwards, momentarily turning the scene into a living hell of a tragedy, with countless trampled to death.
Whether because Qi Hengxing had aged after his high fever, or because of the Azure Cave where he had punished himself, Qi Hengxing's tone and rhetoric were no longer as forceful as before.
Old Xu took a deep breath and nervously placed his palm down. After a beam of blue light scanned it, the screen flickered sluggishly twice before it began loading the video content.
Compared to her previous life, her marriage to Xiang Kai was happening several years earlier. Lu Lijnin could not help sighing, wondering what all her hustle and bustle was even for.
The two stable hands exchanged a few complaints before hurriedly returning to the stable, lighting a clear oil lamp to inspect carefully with it in hand.
To be honest, she had never taken matters at school to heart. Even now that Zhou Meijuan was back in class, she didn't consider it any big deal.
While chopping vegetables, she let her mind wander, forcing herself not to dwell too much on other things.
Lu Lijin thought to herself that since the Prince of Xiang had come, it was hardly surprising that Lu Shuangjin's fiancé would come too.
Her head ached violently from racking her brains, yet she still could not find an answer. She simply gave up trying to figure it out; who could possibly understand the motives behind the actions of someone with a tendency towards split personality?
After receiving their garments, they were issued waist tokens. Each token represented their individual status and also served as their credential for collecting monthly stipends.
About a hundred kilometers northwest of Liulin City lay a narrow strip of forest known as the Maple Needle Forest.
"Are you really willing to help me?" Shu Keyue could not help looking at Hua Shangxue with excitement, feeling somewhat uncertain.
People hiding over there, separated by the distance of a lake, looked across from afar. If one wasn't paying attention, they would be completely overlooked.
Didn't they see that she was the one who got injured? Yet one by one, they treated her like air, not even offering a word of comfort. Especially Uncle Qi Feng, who had hit her—he couldn't even be bothered to spare her a glance, with his eyes and heart solely fixed on his Fu'er. Truly detestable.
Aiying Teng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, his murky eyeballs flashing slightly as his expression became much more composed.
However, Shen Feng finally waited until the very end! On this day, the Heavenly Embryo finally opened its eyes. The instant golden light erupted, the thin film tightly wrapping around the Heavenly Embryo cracked with a snap, and the Heavenly Embryo leaped out from within! Its eyebrows, nose, and eyes were identical to Shen Feng's, as if carved from the exact same mold.
"Senior Brother! What should we do then?" Although Huxing's voice was not loud, Shen Feng, whose divine sense enveloped the entire area, still heard it. The sound waves formed from his vibrating divine sense echoed directly in Huxing's ears.
What was wrong with Anqier? To actually give such instructions—it was utterly laughable. Meluo's mind conjured up Anqier's parting admonitions to him.

Since everyone knew Gao Chong was the new imperial son-in-law, entry was very convenient. Eunuch Sun, a senior attendant, came out to welcome them from afar, saying that the Emperor was still attending to state affairs in the Hall of Diligent Governance. See, Li Qian shun really was the most diligent emperor, wasn't he?
