Chapter 62: Sister and Brother

Feng Shinan eventually found Gao Gelit. It must be said that Chen Jie's words earlier in the afternoon played a certain role, preventing a reenactment of a throat-grabbing showdown.

What made it even more hopeless was that the louder the children cried and screamed, the more fiercely they were beaten.

They could inflict casualties on the enemy forces without even engaging in close combat. Their garrison numbered only one hundred thousand, and they could not afford such losses.

Then Feng Mo and Si Muyan watched Lin Fan walk straight into the restroom, returning five minutes later.

Back when his leg was injured, his temper was already so volatile. If they were to ask about these things, what if he became deeply stimulated and reverted to his bad temper?

Without a trace of bashfulness, this charming and alluring lady removed her gas mask and planted a sweet kiss squarely on Ryan's forehead.

Though dressed like a beggar, Shui Ling had already washed her face clean. She was eating with great relish, as if she intended to devour the old man's entire life savings, completely ignoring Hao Ren's reaction across the table.

The boss had already mapped out a route for himself, and it seemed he had no intention of bringing her along for the ride.

The medicinal broth in the wooden tub had turned back into clear water, and the scorched dead skin on his body had fallen away, replaced by skin as fresh as a newborn baby's—such was the miraculous effect of the millennium-old ginseng; it could truly bring the dead back to life and regenerate flesh and bones, without the slightest exaggeration.

When Thomas walked out of Wang Zhongjun's office, anyone could see that his expression was extremely grim, looking as though someone owed him hundreds of strings of cash.

Thus, he stopped looking and stowed the manual into his storage belt. Glancing at the corpses of Zhai Yangbiao and the second-in-command, he cast a fire spell that reduced them to ashes. With a gust of wind blowing them away, he turned and stepped into the Qixian Hall.

This was the best choice Zekai could make after much deliberation. He would not act lightly, but this mission was simply too crucial. Roy's appearance was completely unexpected, yet it produced the consequence and side effect of throwing everything into chaos.

Immediately, the water spirit reached out a hand, and a mass of black energy gathered in the moonlight. Though described as black, it stood out against the night unlike the brightness of day. Yet this black sphere caused the surrounding space to distort, making its terrifying nature unmistakably clear.

Lu Yuan glanced at Gao Yu, then slowly seated himself, still harboring a trace of doubt in his mind.

As these "whys" were continuously unveiled while new ones kept emerging, the audience was captivated and driven to keep watching. The three men remembered nothing, which aligned the perspective of the completely clueless audience with that of the protagonists, pulling them right along with the plot.

The moment her voice trailed off, ripples shivered through the air, and an invisible force condensed tightly into a beam, plunging straight down from the sky into the center of the arena.

Sixty-four flying swords shot forth simultaneously, cutting through the void toward Yang Dali's escape route.

"Hasten to merge the Five Elements into one, do not hesitate!" Ren Xiaoyao continued to command coldly. Then, he suddenly raised the precious sword in his hand, and a three-foot sword glare instantly erupted from the blade.

"Emperor Qin, you may rest easy! Since we have already made our choice, how could we break our word!" Zhang Fei, the master of the Lingtian Sword Sect, said with a trace of displeasure.

Qianshen, on the other hand, was so angry that her eyes had turned red. She had approached stealthily, hoping to overhear what they were talking about, only to hear Qilin express feelings akin to a confession to Su Li, completely omitting any mention of her when talking.

Ye Yuhan tapped his fingers rhythmically against the desk, one beat after another, offering no reply while lost in his own thoughts.

After changing her clothes, greeting the team leader, and signing her name in the attendance log, Chu Yanyan hurried toward the bus stop, and soon the final No. 18 bus arrived.

"Who, who do you think you are? What gives you the right to order me about?" Amidst the pin-drop silence, Gao Liang asked the boy who had suddenly stopped him, feeling both awkward and deeply humiliated.

"How is it? Are you feeling immense pressure now? Didn't you used to say that once the third brother made a breakthrough, you would break through shortly after?" Renault began to banter with Hadley from the side once again.

Afterward, Zhang Yuan learned a great deal of world lore from the mysterious fox's words, which not only broadened his horizons but also left him deeply awed by the profound depths of the cosmos.

Rodhart raised his shield high, easily parrying the blow, and seized the momentum to lunge forward, slashing fiercely at the bald man's head. However, the opponent ducked backward, causing the strike to miss.

Soon after, soldiers collected all the bamboo slips and placed them on the table on the steps where Chen Gong and the other three judges were seated.

Ning Wuwo had been dispatched by Wei Yuanyi to take the life of Qingyuanzi at Asking Heaven Temple. Unexpectedly, Su Hanyue suddenly launched a surprise attack on him midway, allowing Qingyuanzi to escape. Su Hanyue was injured by Ning Wuwo, who had resorted to a secret technique. The two engaged in a chase—one pursuing, the other fleeing—which was precisely the scene Zhang Yuan had encountered earlier.

He worried that this jinx would start trouble and bring misfortune to the gambling den. After all, people like Situ Yue seemed to possess some background; if any of them were to die of poison, the trouble of investigating it would ultimately fall back on him.

Thinking of this, Sang Wan'an felt a chill creeping up the back of her neck. That man's conspiracy was meticulous and ruthless; no matter what method he used, he could eliminate Tingdong without getting his own hands dirty.

She had a sharp tongue and a fiery temper, refusing to yield an inch in any argument, yet she inexplicably got along well with the gentle and timid Jinli.

The breakfast was lavish, and the water she drank was specially brought by Bai Xue at Guo Qingshi's behest. Knowing that the water was a gesture of Guo Qingshi's care, Lu Yuan smiled faintly.

Now, through rational modifications, he had embedded the flues into the walls and floor in a more scientific manner. This way, while cooking, the brick bed used for sleeping would also warm up, achieving the dual purpose of keeping warm against the cold without any risk of fatal smoke inhalation.

"But I suppose you wouldn't want to know these things!" Lu Munian laughed, his smile dripping with mockery.

"If we use skis to launch a surprise attack, a blitzkrieg could succeed, but the prerequisite is a proficient mastery of skiing skills. Skis are easy to make; our workshop can churn out hundreds a day. The key point is... you all have to learn how to use them," said Lewis.

After a while, Chen Xuanzang arrived with his remaining disciples, and the banquet dishes were served one after another.

Even so, preserving oneself was immensely difficult. Nearly everyone fighting outside was a practitioner; in this kill-or-be-killed moment, who had the leisure to worry about collateral damage to innocent commoners?

"Then are you alright? Do you need someone to stay up drinking with you?" After all, anyone who had never experienced the bitter depths of a long night was not worth talking to about life.
