Volume 1, Chapter 54: The Aloof and Cold Qingsu

(1/3)

"Hey! The Sixth Prince is speaking to you. Are you deaf?" The moment she saw Chu Lin, Lingyou did not even bother to offer a greeting, which immediately provided others with an opening to find fault.

In the center of the courtyard, Prince Qingyang and the others examined the scroll closely, the intense fervor in their eyes making them look as entranced as if they were gazing upon some peerless treasure.

Yun Luo raised an eyebrow, leaned forward, and reached out to grip Ziyin's wrist. What a fine spiritual root, a true man indeed! Even while gravely injured, he did not cower before tyranny. Knowing that clashing with them would inevitably lead to defeat, he still straightened his back and strode forward to meet the enemy.

Bai Liufeng, Bai Liunian, Bai Liusu, and the servants of the Bai family all watched from a distance. The fight between the two was so spectacular that the servants could not tear their eyes away.

When Fanhua departed, she cast one deep look back at her—a look filled with profound loss and reluctance.

Events suddenly slipped out of control, entirely dictated by Qu You. Seeing the unanimous chorus of approval filling the room, Chu Ming could not help but frown. He raised his wine cup and cast his gaze toward the First Prince's Consort.

Lu Xi sat for a moment, then excused herself on the pretext of changing Songsong's clothes. With the two trusted aides of the family head present, Lu Xi guessed they likely had matters to discuss, and her presence would certainly be inconvenient. As for the afternoon meal, she could share it with Songsong.

Before stuffing the pill into Ruoshui's mouth, Physician Li still chose to seek instructions from Chuanshu.

"My lord tells you to turn it off!" The words were squeezed out one by one, delivered in a tone comparable to tens of degrees below zero.

The village head asked the soldier whether that monster might emerge and harm the two of them. He cautiously peered into the woods, checking if any monster was watching them.

The kiln master pulled out his case of rolled leaf tobacco, took out a cigarette, and bit it between his lips. He snapped the case shut and put it back. Taking out a flint lighter, he flipped open the lid and flicked it; a gentle shake produced a flame. The kiln master lit his cigarette and snapped the lighter shut.

"You'll understand in time," Xiang Hao sneered. With a single thought, boundless laws within the sword-seal world transformed into sacred mountains, directly suppressing Tuobakuang's primordial spirit.

The crowd looked closely and saw a man covered in blood, holding a long spear, with waves of fierce aura surging all around him. He had actually managed to prop up a three-meter-square safe zone by sheer force, and the leaders of other sects who had been swallowed up were now completely unharmed within this sanctuary.

Yet in that flash of lightning, the ground suddenly trembled, and a figure burst out from beneath the earth. It was none other than Xiang Hao, who had used the Earth Escaping Technique to tunnel straight up from underground.

Following the soldier's directions, Gu Du went in search of Yu Hui and Dan Chang. After turning a few corners, he indeed found the two of them in a pavilion playing Go, using black and white stones.

Ling Tong shook his long spear, sending medicinal herbs flying across the sky. He swept the spear horizontally, striking the assassin in the waist.

Just as Xiang Hao took a step forward, the sound of his footsteps nearly imperceptible, it still startled the ancient beast.

The vast blue sky over the Spirit Valley was blurred. Gu Yan could not figure out the reason, muttering, "Perhaps so," before lowering the head she had raised.

After reaching an agreement, Liu Yong decided to have Zhuge Liang lead a force of twenty thousand subordinates back to Yangqu to govern the place alongside Zhang Fei, laying a solid foundation and easing the suspicions of the people in Shu.

At the foot of the mountain, Qi Wu of the teahouse opened his eyes and found himself lying on the ground. Around him was utter devastation; even the inn run by Manager Du had vanished, leaving only a field of broken walls.

"I remember Sister Lan giving birth to a second child." Qianqian wore a look of utter bewilderment. Was it because she had relived her life that certain things had changed? No, many things had been altered precisely because of her rebirth.

Who would have thought that the man named Azhi belonged to Cheng Xiaoghen? When her mother mentioned him to her, it was with a look of utter regret.

Xiao Ling was completely baffled. Seeing the two address each other as sisters, she found it hard to believe she still had such a relative alive in the world.

Only then did Xiao Shan recall the intelligence obtained from the bamboo tube—that the Demonic General's headquarters had moved to the Northern Frontier. At this thought, the murderous aura around Xiao Shan vanished. He smiled at Feng Chun and said, "That's right, I am heading to the Northern Frontier. I wonder if Brother Feng knows a way to pass through the border defense? If so, a heavy reward awaits."

"Big Brother, I beg you not to say it! I really didn't mean to back then!" Lin Luo pleaded with a bitter grimace.

The nearby wall shattered into a large hole, and a smoking green shadow darted forward at unimaginable speed.

Is this the burden of the opponent's white mist power? Truly massive. If it were seven or eighty percent higher, it would be about the same as the side effects of her initial black corrosion flame.

As soon as Cheng Lei uttered these words, she felt a sour ache in her heart, buried her face in her hands, and began to sob softly.

Passing by, Shangxian reached out to Nianxiu's chin, tilted it upward, and squinted as he met those pretty eyes.

"Fine, Sister, just say it!" Li Qiang's attitude was exceptionally earnest. He felt this woman was not bad; such a high official was actually so easygoing, and she had even saved him. She was a good person.

He did not notice that as he leaned close to Bai Yiqing, a flash of coldness crossed her face and her fists clenched tightly, clearly adopting a combat stance. But when she felt the warm breath exhaled by Li Qiang brushing against her ear, her expression changed abruptly, a hint of oddness flashing through her eyes.

"You're the thief, your whole family are thieves." Trying to be kind and give a gift, only to hear such remarks.

Thinking of Leng Ruyan's reaction to the sacred fruit and Leng Zixuan's madness over the crimson fruit, Chu Nan seemed to understand a little.

"Boss, then look..." Li Qiang's trust did not seem to surprise Wang Jiashu at all; he merely chuckled.

An eerie and evil atmosphere enveloped the wilderness, and demonic energy surged forth menacingly. As Wang Hao displayed his demonic arts for the first time, a speck of black light abruptly appeared before him. Breaking the constraints of space, it expanded in an instant into a massive vortex, its turbid black currents swirling to generate an unimaginably powerful suction force.

Seeing the sun setting in the west, the twilight filtering through the branches cast mottled shadows on the windows, and the light inside the room gradually dimmed. Everyone in the room fell silent, while Yingche on the bed shifted and drifted into a heavy slumber.

Hearing Zhong Shan muttering to himself about raising some kind of army, the family members looked at one another in dismay.

All of this sounds lengthy, but it actually transpired in the fraction of a second. Only those experiencing it firsthand could feel the breathtaking terror and heart-pounding suspense.

Perhaps the coolest confession was the very words currently spoken by Moyi. Perhaps this was the truest self Moyi concealed beneath his playboy exterior—bold in speech and love, never regretting a decision once made.
