Volume 1, Chapter 35: The Azure Dragon Stronghold Receives News

Seeing that most of the villagers were clear-headed, Su Yunhai felt a slight sense of relief. Otherwise, having to lead these ungrateful people on the road would have made him want to vomit from frustration.

As for whether to drive away those few troublemakers taking advantage of the situation, Su Yunhai had no desire to get involved.

Saving lives and healing the wounded was a doctor's duty—this was only natural. At that moment, Ping Erzhi did not hesitate and immediately agreed to Yang Lefan’s request. Otherwise, how could he have ended up outside the hall with a nosebleed after being struck by Jiang Ming? Clenching his fists tightly, he hurried to keep pace with Jiang Ming. He knew Jiang Ming was just using this as a pretext and trusted that the emperor of the Great Chu would understand the situation once he explained it clearly.

Everyone was stunned by Luo Xi’s words, including the imperial physician. No one expected Feiyu not to recognize Luo Xi. Everyone knew the place Luo Xi held in Feiyu’s heart; how could he suddenly fail to recognize her? Moreover, without any head injury, how could such forgetfulness occur?

This was precisely the true purpose behind Sima Yi delivering Jun Zui: he wanted Lin Ranxuan to understand how the Lin family had usurped the throne of the Northern Star Empire and how they had slain his father, the former emperor.

“What did you say? She won’t wake up? Then what use are you? You couldn’t even save Xi’er.” Feiyu, furious, was about to strike Master Wang.

Whoosh! Thanks to the Eternal Staff’s enhancement, Liang Yin’s strength was just one step shy of an advanced mage. The rushing waters surged forth like a roaring beast, instantly clearing a path ahead for them.

Afeng had goosebumps all over her body. Even without turning her head, she could imagine what this person looked like. When she finally saw him, it was exactly as she had pictured: exquisitely charming, delicate and graceful like a willow swaying in the wind.

Jun Hao had not held her in his arms for a long time. It had been since the time she had moved his doll. Despite his knees hurting so badly he could barely move for days, and the pain in his heart, she no longer hated him for his cold ruthlessness. Now, she did not resent him at all.

While eating breakfast, Luo Xi overheard the people at the next table discussing something. It seemed to involve the Bai family. She unconsciously leaned closer to listen.

Lin Hanxi was about to retort but saw a sharp gleam in Leng Wuchen’s eyes and obediently closed her mouth. This man radiated an irresistible aura of intimidation, leaving her no choice but to comply meekly.

“There they are, just a few bodies are relatively intact. You’d better take them quickly so I don’t have to deal with them myself,” Li Daniu said, nodding toward the human tower.

Shang Yi was pushed backward by a powerful force, staggering a few steps before falling to the ground. Undoubtedly, Leng Wuchen had infused the hidden weapon with strong internal energy; otherwise, Shang Yi wouldn’t have been so thoroughly defeated.

Mu Hongling, upon hearing that she wouldn’t be able to see Li Daniu often anymore, hurried over to his side. She listened solemnly to the voice on the phone.

Wu Huan couldn’t help but wonder if Ming Ye had long known her true feelings. Perhaps that was why he deliberately let her witness everything—to make her give up hope. Or maybe it was a warning, cautioning her to act carefully, lest the world plunge into chaos.

Li Daniu glanced toward the door upon hearing this and recognized several people: Wu Hai, Xu Qi, and Gao Tiantian.

However, despite all her scheming and efforts, she heard Yang Zongyou say that the poison was incurable! It felt as if her feet had taken root in the ground, unable to move a single step forward.

“When did she say that?” Mu Zhihan was puzzled. She hadn’t even known that Chu Binxuan brought wine. How could Rutong have known?

“It’s nothing. When I want to see you, it’s just a moment’s business. Humph, I’m the most awesome!” Li Daniu shouted earnestly.

Mu Zhihan slept through the entire night, while Pei Junhao stayed awake, watching the IV drip without daring to close his eyes. At last, as dawn broke and the drip finished, Pei Junhao saw Mu Zhihan still deep in slumber and quietly climbed into bed beside her to rest.
