Chapter 26: Lu Jingtian Was Once an Innocent College Student Too

Holy crap! There really is something going on between those two! Chu Qiao hadn't expected her sixth sense to be so spot on:

[How did Yan Jin manage to provoke Lu Jingtian?]

Bai Lu replied:

[I can't say. Just make sure you don't let them meet, whatever you do!]

After saying that, Bai Lu went silent. Chu Qiao pondered for a moment, then opened Lu Anyun's WeChat:

[Anyun, you there? I need to ask you something.]

The moment I crossed the threshold, I snapped the little finger of my left hand with a sharp "crack," blood spraying everywhere.

To think he would use such a bait-and-switch trick while I was busy communicating with the Immortal Pine Crane... It seems we truly underestimated Cao Wuyong. He had long since seen through the ruse of the Immortal Pine Crane bringing these people here, yet where is Cao Wuyong now?

Nangong Mingye frowned, looking at the wrist he was being led by. He didn't refuse, following Jiang Xinyu as she pulled him into an empty lounge.

The four of them looked at one another. Although there were no monsters attacking, this stage had been no less grueling than the others. Everyone’s nerves were frayed, and once they cleared it, all they wanted to do was lie on the floor and not move a muscle.

Chen Lan was about to continue when, unexpectedly, a finger was placed against her lips. Following that, she saw the Eldest Princess of Anguo wink at her. She glanced sideways and noticed two eunuchs still standing guard nearby.

While the couple was speaking, Lei Ting and Lei Jun had already driven over the massive carriage specially ordered by Li Jingtian. Li Jingtian helped Wang Qifang into the carriage, then turned to instruct Mei Jian and the others to keep a close watch on Maple Garden and protect the young heir before stepping inside and closing the door. The carriage slowly rolled out of the back alley of the Duke's mansion.

When Mother Zheng entered from the outer room, what she saw was a scene of utter joy and harmony. Even as biased as she was, she found this sight exceptionally warm and peaceful. She stood there mesmerized, only snapping out of it after a long while, when she gave a soft cough.

...in the prefecture for so long, we have at least a little friendship. Why be so secretive when I ask you a few questions? We aren't going to go blabbing about it.

One was ambitious for the world, while the other only wanted peace and happiness for herself and those close to her... She didn't harbor illusions of changing everything; she would be satisfied if she could just change the lives of those around her.

In every corner illuminated by countless bright specks of light, the spiritual energy flow controlled personally by Qian Chonglang combined with the heavenly thunder to form a cage meant to imprison the "Lord of Reincarnation."

After confirming time and again that Mu Jiuqing was not lying or teasing him, the face manifested by the Divine Tree showed a complex array of emotions, all visible for anyone to see, until they gradually calmed down just as Mu Jiuqing was about to ask in confusion.

Before long, Anna’s brother hurriedly handed the remaining seventy magic vests to Zhong Li.

Wen Li shook her head. No... as if! She had brought Xingxing with her, and besides, her body... was not exactly in a convenient state right now.

Di Bai was thirty-two this year. He wasn't exactly old, but to call him young would be a stretch. Yet, his lifestyle had already entered the realm of retirement—not just his habits, but his mindset as well.

Outside the arena, Sect Master Zeng Jing of the "Heavenly Saint Capital" sat with the Great Elder, Mu Tiansheng, and his own junior brother, Zeng Meng. They discussed Mu Jiuqing and Huangfu Tang, who had both made breakthroughs in the arena, each exuding completely different auras. Zeng Jing's pale, aged face was full of gratification.

"Haha, well, thanks then." Dabai shrugged helplessly and held his fire-wreathed hand out toward Heizi, letting her warm herself by it.

It was an occasion worth celebrating. Xu Kang lifted his eyes and watched as Xu Yefan picked up his coffee, took a small sip, and set it back down. The expression on Xu Yefan's face was calm, without a ripple, showing no fluctuations—and certainly none of the joy Xu Kang had expected to see. Xu Kang felt a bit puzzled.
