Chapter 55

“What’s wrong, Ellie? You don’t look well. Has someone been bullying you?” I hurried over at once and saw that Ellie truly did seem unhappy.

“Hey, what happened?” As soon as the fight broke out outside, several men who had been drinking in the private room rushed out to see what was happening.

What Mo Fan had never imagined was that Xiao Tian’s obsession with surpassing and defeating him was so strong that he was practically risking his life to catch up. He had even taken a heaven-defying fourth-grade elixir. For that reason, Mo Fan was now completely focused on condensing the seventh strand of primordial force within his dantian.

On the third day after they arrived in Manzhouli, news came from Renhe. Su Man had called to get in touch with them.

After all, in their eyes, Mo Fan was nothing more than an ordinary cultivator from the secular world, a disciple of an ordinary sect. His cultivation was only at the third level of the True Essence Realm, yet he had quietly caused such an enormous commotion. How could they not be astonished?

However, once their speed slowed, dealing with them naturally became much easier.

“All right. Hold on to me. I’ll take you flying on my sword.” After saying this, Qingyu seized Long Yang, placed him on her sword, and began flying through the air on it.

After a long while, Ling Yunxiao looked at Mo Yuner with an unusual expression in his eyes, seemingly somewhat excited.

“Granny, I’m going back to my hometown now.” The next morning, Cheng Yu packed his belongings and bade farewell to his landlady. He still had something important to do. He had decided to make the journey to Qingqiu Mountain.

When Xiao Shan heard this, he immediately went out, summoned everyone from the Xiao family, and issued his orders. Everyone was to put down whatever they were doing and return to the Xiao residence, standing ready for battle. If anyone dared force their way into the Xiao family compound, they were to be killed without mercy.

It would of course be best if Madam Xu were willing to stay. She had served Old Madam Luo for many years and had seen countless things in her lifetime, learning countless lessons along the way. If not for her, Madam Xu could have retired to her hometown and enjoyed her old age after the old lady’s death. How could Yining possibly go against her wishes?

The Pangling tribe temporarily remained with the Dadi tribe. Ling Jiu decided to let them out only after finding a place to settle, otherwise moving such a large group would be too troublesome.

Huan Hua’s body instantly stiffened like stone. Was she in love with Chu Hui? Had Mother said that she was in love with Chu Hui?

“What is that? A lump of excrement?” Jun Moyu’s sharp eyes immediately spotted the French fries in Qingmei’s hands. Seeing her place them in front of Murong Xiao, he instantly mocked her coldly.

But then he thought of the tens of thousands of imperial soldiers guarding the area tonight. Even if Jue Qingshang possessed the ferocious beast Taotie, she might not necessarily be a match for an army of tens of thousands.

Hearing her cousin’s words, Wang Zhaojun said inwardly, Just as I thought. Her expression immediately became somewhat awkward, and she stammered,

Bai Ruoxi was frightened nearly out of her wits. Her beautiful, radiant face had turned deathly pale, and she did not know what to say.

Yining said to Zhao Mingzhu, “He doesn’t like pastries.” Although she used to buy them often, that had only been because Yining herself liked them.

“All right, all right. Go on down!” Chen Rong waved her hand with a dark expression, unwilling to see Biyi. She had always been softhearted; besides, even if one did not respect the monk, one still had to respect the Buddha. After all, Biyi was Gu Qingniang’s daughter-in-law.

Zhang Hao had originally been able to injure the head of the Koga family with a single strike of his staff, and Abe Tenka had already found that astonishing enough.

At this point, Daiyu stared fixedly into Huang Jiyun’s eyes and said in a voice so faint it could scarcely be heard, “It concerns the throne.” After saying this, Daiyu lowered her head.

He glanced at Feng Chuchu, then at all the ministers seated there. Finally, he nodded and spoke a few courteous words.

Things had indeed unfolded just as Gu Qingge had anticipated. When Yichun, dragging her exhausted body, conveyed Gu Qingge’s words to Gu Qingli, Gu Qingli was stunned at first. Then her face instantly turned pale.

I naturally sensed her goodwill and returned her a smile. I knew she was aware that I could see her, so I stopped pretending not to notice her and responded to her directly.

Only when Lu Qinghe was at school was she allowed to make phone calls. To ensure that Third Sister would not discover anything, Lu Yichen had specially bought Lu Qinghe a new phone and SIM card and left them at the school so that Lu Qinghe could contact Hua Moning.

These past few days, Xiao Yu had not been idle either. He had been studying the Five-Element Great Freedom Sword Art every moment he could, gaining new insights each time. One could only say that this sword technique was profound and unfathomable, filled with marvelous intricacies.

Sun Jiaming held Gu’er by one hand. He was afraid she might step on the ice, so he kept hold of her in case she slipped, allowing him to catch her.

“What should I do? What should I do? I just ordered them to shoot him dead. I must have enraged him. If he attacks, we’ll have no chance of resisting…” Marquis Wufang fell silent. Blood vessels stood out in his eyes, yet he could not think of the slightest solution. When the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, every scheme was futile.

Wei Hong was already seething with anger. How could she possibly think she had done anything wrong? She immediately began arguing with Cao Qiu, then started cursing him as well.

Chen Feng had placed great hopes in this city. It was the foundation on which he intended to survive the apocalypse. That was why the city had seven additional gates like this one, all intended to stop monsters from storming in and plunging the order of society into misery and chaos.

As a result, Sawamura Eijun’s pitching developed a style uniquely his own.

Earlier, Watanabe, the analytical expert of the Seidou High School baseball team, had not given a low assessment when analyzing the opponent before them.

…The moment Indigo Carmine finished speaking, Helan Yao emerged from the basement. Her face was positively radiant, showing none of the suffering one would expect from someone who had been imprisoned.

Thankfully, they were still there… Qin Botian steadied his nerves and decided not to alert the surrounding brothers yet. He would first find out what sort of formidable person had arrived at the stronghold.

Helan Yao had been carefully smelling the medicine, trying to determine which ingredient was different, when Long Shaoyan suddenly pulled her. Pain immediately flashed across her face.

“We’ve arrived. Your Highness and Your Highness’s consort, please come in.” He had begun making preparations as soon as he learned that the prince and his consort were coming. The county residence was naturally inferior to an imperial one, and he had no idea whether the two of them would be satisfied.

Su Ruhui’s own handiwork was even more disastrous. She knew herself well: if Xiuwan’s work might possibly ruin the fabric, then anything Su Ruhui made would certainly ruin it. After all, Xiuwan had age and experience on her side; she was accustomed to such work and had plenty of strength as well.

“White Tiger, keep an eye on Long Shaoyan. You and Ning Ruxi wait here. I’ll go scout that pack of snow wolves.” After giving White Tiger her instructions, Helan Yao turned and shot away, covering a distance of ten feet in an instant.
