Chapter 32

“Yes. Although I have no idea what he did to the equipment, the doctors’ tests showed that he was mentally ill. That was why they issued him a certificate identifying him as a patient suffering from acute transient psychotic disorder. At least I know for certain that this fellow is not insane!” Yu Yali said.

Indeed, if that was the case, then things made rather more sense. If it was meant to deal with the threat posed by Serio of the Black Cross, then paying such a price was certainly worthwhile.

Fu Yuan Shuangjin ate the dishes with relish, nodding repeatedly. “Excellent. This stir-fried pork with winter bamboo shoots is delicious—crisp and refreshing... This braised pork with preserved vegetables is rich without being greasy. And this one... is good too. I’m certainly enjoying a fine meal today.”

To Zhang Chen’s surprise, the letter was nothing more than an ordinary letter, except that it could read its contents aloud automatically.

No Cheng saw that the formation had been destroyed and withdrew the Remnant Radiance Sword into his hand. When he looked again, the ghost child had already vanished into the darkness, so he paid it no mind. His eyes continued searching, however, trying to discover who had saved the demon mosquito and ghost child just now.

Perhaps because he had arrived late, No Cheng could not shake the feeling that he owed them an apology. During those five days, apart from the time spent helping Chi Yu survive his tribulation and preventing Bai Wuhai from destroying the Immortal Emperor’s Tomb, he could actually have arrived here at least a day earlier.

Sitting alone in the pavilion at the center of the lake, Zhang Lian held a lotus in his hand. For some inexplicable reason, he was restless and could not even bring himself to cultivate.

Dogs sometimes still barked a few times. These people, however, would not merely refrain from making a sound—even if they were ordered to kill themselves, they would rush to do so, terrified that the family head might become displeased.

Perhaps his birth itself had been a mistake. The moment he was born, he brought a plague upon his village. Not long afterward, he attracted the attention of enemies, who slaughtered his entire family, leaving only him to flee with an infant in his arms and endure every kind of hardship.

Zhen Qian had not named an outrageous price, which allowed Zhen Sheng to relax slightly. Of course, it would have been even better if Zhen Qian had lowered it a little further.

The others moved away from the enormous ice demon and continued clearing away the ice fruits drifting down from the system.

Thinking of the strength possessed by those members of the Azure Dragon Gang—men capable of seriously wounding Ye Chen—and then recalling how Ye Qi had dispatched them all effortlessly and without suffering so much as a scratch, Wang Hao could not help secretly admiring Ye Chen’s judgment.

After hearing Su Momo’s words, Yi Rong politely said, “Thank you,” and sat down beside her.

The hotel’s duty manager personally drove a car over, his face ashen. A soldier yanked open the door and hurriedly shoved Lu Xiaojia inside. In their haste, their movements were too rough, and the pain made Lu Xiaojia let out a soft groan.

Yan Shenwu and the others, who were listening nearby, felt their hearts jolt. Were the eight countries Du Yuesheng had named not precisely the nations that had formed the Eight-Nation Alliance to invade China all those years ago?

“All right, thank you, big sister. I’ll settle the bill with you later.” As a princess of the imperial family, Ariel naturally had money to spare. But Canalis was no poor relation either. With a steel magnate supporting her family, she possessed mountains of money as well, and thus thanked her just as generously.

“Your father is coming in person?” Ke’er shuddered. “Then perhaps it’s better not.”

She lowered her shoulders dejectedly and hung her head. When the plane took off, tears slid down Ke’er’s cheeks once more. Nangong Chen gazed at her sorrowful expression before coldly turning his face away.

Su Momo had always been intensely curious and wanted to know what had happened, but the other students blocked her view, leaving her unable to see anything.

Zhong Ying had killed his father and indirectly caused his mother’s death. Therefore, he had chosen to kill Zhong Ying in revenge. He was in the right.

Dongfang Hongri shouted furiously, “Twin Gods of Cangshan, how dare you!”

Before he had even finished speaking, he raised his palm and struck. No sound of wind accompanied the blow, yet the two men in hemp clothing were both sent tumbling outward against their will. Once they fell, they never rose again.

Tian Ming was gambling by doing this. He had placed all his hopes on this inner-power cavern, hoping to find within it a way to rapidly strengthen his internal energy. If he failed, then when the power of Sealing Sleep erupted again, Tian Ming would have neither the strength nor the opportunity to resist.

So be it—he would make the change. He could treat it as an experience of life. After all, in this era there was much he needed to learn. Whether good or bad, it made no difference to him.

Guan Yu’s great saber fell with the force of a mountain-splitting blow, cleaving the soldiers’ shields in two one after another. The masked man’s long spear, meanwhile, sought only the soldiers’ armor and clothing.

The main hall was spacious and empty, with a domed ceiling supported by several thick pillars and curtains adorning the surroundings.

There were many cells inside the stone house. After making a complete circuit, Mo Langyue found only one prisoner, in the very last cell, bound with iron chains. He was a wild-eyed old man with graying hair. The moment he saw the newcomers, he began babbling incoherently, making it impossible to understand a word he said.

As he fell, Tian Ming took out a golden-yellow leaf and placed it in his mouth. He believed Shilan’s words: if she said the leaf was an antidote, then it was an antidote.

“Shishi, don’t speak yet. Let me take a good look at you!”

Tie Cheng’s face split into a radiant smile. He lifted Tang Shi’s breathtakingly beautiful face and could not tear his eyes away. His beloved had returned to his side—how could such joy possibly be expressed in words?

Huang Yun’s delicate face swelled immediately after the slap, five livid finger marks standing out upon her cheek, with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. She raised her head and looked at her brother. There was not the slightest trace of tears in her eyes; that icy stare made Huang Kui feel as though he were sitting on pins and needles.

The cannibal monk, Master Shichi, was naturally unwilling to let Long Feiyun go so easily. With a sweep of his monk’s staff, he sent it curling toward Long Feiyun’s waist. This time, however, the staff was no longer fiercely powerful. Instead, it moved as gently as a fluttering ribbon, making not the slightest sound.

Sofia heard hope in Yang Liqian’s words. Her eyes immediately lit up, and her face filled with longing.

“Now that I am already in the capital, I am not afraid of that day arriving. Besides, how many people in this world possess formations skills equal to those of Master and Senior Brother?” Meng Yu said firmly. If she had been afraid, she would never have appeared here.

“What am I supposed to do with you? Whenever you are cold toward me, you are like a block of ice; whenever you are warm, you are hotter than fire. I have been gone for so long—surely many people are wondering what happened to me. If I take this opportunity to appear at the banquet, I imagine it will give rise to all sorts of speculation...”

Bai Yuzhu stubbornly insisted on holding a banquet.
