Volume 1, Chapter 28: I Am a Bit Worried That He Is Not Suited for This Role

After ending her chat with Lu Siming, Su Yujin’s lips curled into an almost imperceptible smile.

She picked up her phone and dialed Gu Yubai’s number.

She bought a set of men’s clothing, slipped into a rouge shop, and told the proprietor that she had encountered trouble and needed some cosmetics and powders.

The key figure in the outbreak of this entire conflict was none other than the obscure Bicheche. It was he who provided the clue that led Deng Pinglu and Wugeqi into a fierce confrontation.

He had originally thought he was closing in on his target, never imagining that this was merely a trap set by his adversary.

Was all the effort he had exerted, and everything he had strived for to prove himself, truly so insignificant?

Nana looked up at the adult following behind them. Chen Xuebin opened his mouth, stole a glance at Le Ying, then hurriedly looked away without saying a word.

As the foreman spoke, Liu Jun stepped out of the dormitory to take a look. Sure enough, the bricks had been unloaded from the spot where they had parked yesterday, and were now stacked neatly to the side.

The three of them dug for quite a while longer; the pit was already deep, yet it remained empty. Even Bao Yuanqian began to have doubts, as in his memory, the object could not possibly have been buried this deep.

Since she was already seen as a villainous stepmother in the eyes of those sisters, Lin Xiangying decided to simply play the role to the end.

Most of the cedar trees in the forest were only a few meters tall. Seizing a gap in the sky, Aikawa Usui clearly saw the aerial view of the hillside—he realized he was still flying upward.

The group unleashed their divine senses to the fullest, yet they could not discover what had destroyed an iron-wood puppet with combat power comparable to a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. Their hearts grew uneasy, and they tightened their grips on their magic weapons.

Hong Heyu led everyone into his office and hastily beckoned Gu Fancheng and Chu Haoran to sit down. As for Tian Yueting and Fang Ya, who were following behind, Hong Heyu no longer had the energy to attend to them.

"My god, just how many Taiyi cultivators are hidden within this Manzhou Prefectural Mansion?" Some other practitioners at the Taiyi realm could not help but exclaim in a daze after their divine senses roughly swept over the auras of the Taiyi powerhouses revealed within Manzhou City.

When the auctioneer announced the first item, Bai Feifei’s eyes snapped open. Chu Haoran also noticed that the breathing of the vast majority of people in the hall had stalled. He wondered to himself, could Bai Feifei have been right? Had most of the people here come specifically for this?

Liu Ming was particularly depressed. Ever since he left with that man in black and heard that Tiger Stronghold had been burned to the ground, he had been filled with deep remorse. In particular, the death of Qin Sha had caused his ears endless misery, nearly being worn thin by Qin Yi’s constant nagging.

"Damn it, that’s exactly why I told you to optimize the search function! So I can choose for myself!" Tang Zeng said coldly.

Even a figure as resilient as Xue Ling Tianqing, who had walked through countless storms, could not hide the two lines of manly tears shimmering in his eyes at this moment.

Academies were different; their sphere of influence was limited only to the institution itself, and they had no subjects of their own.

"I, too, pay my respects to the Heavenly Emperor. Heavenly Emperor, it has been many years since we last parted in Nanyang," Zhang Fei said with a hearty laugh.

Feng Lin had naturally sensed Luo Yu’s presence long ago, as the two still shared a contract. However, sensing the aura from that direction, it seemed Luo Sanyan had not come over.

On the main auction platform, a vigorous old man sat, his mood better than words could describe.

Karl punched a Radiant Knight, sending him into a state of physical paralysis, then took a step forward, perfectly dodging a ripple-blade strike unleashed with full force by another knight. The ripple-like battle aura vibrated the air, whistling away with visible shockwaves and carving a deep trench into the gravel-covered street.
