Chapter 108: Favoritism

Bai Zhenzhen felt a sourness rising in her stomach. After holding it in for a while, she walked over with a hint of grievance in her voice, “Brother Xiong Jue.”

Xiong Jue lifted his eyelids and glanced at her coldly. “Zhenzhen, be a good girl and get some snacks for your brother.”

Bai Zhenzhen turned around to fetch the snacks and carefully sat down beside him upon her return.

Xiong Jue took the nuts she handed him and picked at them absentmindedly.

“All right, you can go back now. Don’t stand beside me anymore.” Considering the other’s feelings, Wang Duo declined very gently.

By the time they returned from the cellar to the great hall of Hogwarts Castle, it was already six in the evening. Most students had returned to their dormitories, leaving the hall completely empty.

If this continued, this place would no longer be suitable for residents, whether monks or even ordinary people.

“What are you laughing at? Isn’t it obvious? You just helped Zhan Tianba and patted the dust off his clothes. Isn’t that enough to be considered ambiguous?” Bai Jinwu asked with a questioning look. However, he sincerely wanted to hear Miss Lanyi say that she had no connection with Zhan Tianba.

Only then did Xiang Ling finally understand the remark. She let out a small “Ah,” her cheeks flushing crimson. She glanced at Jia Cong before turning and running inside.

Jiang Chang’an looked in the same direction and indeed saw the other side of the river. The tall buildings stood unevenly, starkly different from the Jingzhou Plain of the Xiazhou Kingdom. The architectural styles varied greatly, and the colors were not dull dark wood but interspersed with soft pinks, whites, and golds. The early sunlight reflected off them, making them appear even brighter.

She saw that pure and unpretentious thermos cup, but the words she wanted to say got stuck in her throat.

Lu Qinghan furrowed his brows and closed his eyes slightly. One hand, clasped firmly by him from start to finish, could not be freed even when he fainted. Resigned, he ignored it and silently chanted a calming incantation, as if reliving the tedious days of practice in the Compassionate Heart Cave.

At that moment, Dou Wei spotted an orange-red Dodge Ram driving down the mountain road again.

Shanyue Shuijing shook his head in secret. He had witnessed Fujiwara Sai’s actions just now. To be honest, he had been skeptical about Dongfang Yunyang, but now it seemed the situation was truly as Dongfang Yunyang had described.

Unexpectedly, just as she was in despair, she suddenly saw Li Bai standing on the wall, hands in his pockets, calmly watching.

No matter what, if this attracted others, it would definitely cause trouble later. However, the talisman didn’t obey him. Even when his soul tried to send feedback to stop it, there was no response. It continued to act on its own, completely ignoring him.

Beimingzi formed a hand seal and extended his finger to push once more. The star technique, a fusion of seven distinct forces capable of altering the probabilities of heaven and earth, instantly entered Dayong’s mind.

Li Yao was listening with great interest, almost becoming obsessed. It mattered little to him whether the speaker was a master or a novice.

Whether to agree or not depended on the fringe parties. If the fringe did not agree, Mo Liu would definitely not accept Guangyue’s proposal.

“What did he just call me?” Fang Ruyan was slightly stunned, ready to follow, but Pan Zhen pulled her back.

After escorting the Taichuan Sect members out the door, Midou sat in a chair, stroking the suddenly heavy competition robe. A thousand thoughts flashed through his mind.

The daytime felt as dark as night, pitch black to the point that one could not see their hand. Rolling clouds sealed the entire sky above Taichuan Sect. Amidst the oppressive darkness, the cold wind raged as if the world were ending, bringing an unbearable weight of oppression to the sect below.

The deaths of a dozen high-ranking court officials caused a massive shock throughout the government and society. This did not even account for the lower-level officials. Suddenly, so many positions were vacant, nearly shaking the foundation of the nation. After all, some matters still required someone to handle them.

The young man lost consciousness in endless, boundless pain and fell into a deep haze. It was as if he had entered an infinite space-time, surrounded by nothingness and mist.

The next moment, two huge fists collided heavily, unleashing a powerful storm that spread outward, causing everything along the coast to tremble in fear.
