Chapter 66: There's Gossip!

Yan Shu nodded, his brows remaining furrowed. While his expression appeared ordinary, a storm was raging within his heart.

Zhao Rengan’s body shook violently as the martial arts true Qi beneath his feet dissipated, and he collapsed straight to the ground.

When Jiang Xi woke up again, it was already past three in the afternoon, and her whole body felt weak. She turned over to see Yan Shu wearing dark blue pajamas, reaching out to adjust the sheer curtains by the window while talking to someone on the phone.

After a while, Prince Consort Li showed no signs of defeat, but Princess Li Huafei and Chen Chenzi's factions grew anxious.

Lu Hui was right; if I can't even protect my own brothers, I really am good for nothing. Back then, I even supported Lu Hui, hoping Deng彪 would run with him.

Hua Jitian nodded in agreement with Niu Er. In his storage space, he had accumulated dozens of storage spaces of various kinds obtained from missions, but it was just a drop in the bucket and of little use.

It turned out to be a fire-red koi carp, over ten meters in length. Even when its mouth opened, it was two feet wide—swallowing an adult human whole would be completely effortless.

Zhan Tian kept repeating this phrase in his mind, and the direction was very specific, located precisely to his left. Using a secret technique, Zhan Tian transmitted this secret to Song Yuexin and headed straight toward the source of the voice.

In this Taoist temple, only Prince Consort Li knew how to make wheaten food at the moment. These steamed white buns were all personally prepared and steamed here by Prince Consort Li and his men.

A trace of guilt welled up. Before the car accident, she too had been rushed off her feet, spinning around every day like a top. Back then, she simply hadn't had much time to care about what Tang Huaijin was doing.

"Please make yourselves at home, everyone," Cui Haonan gestured with a wave of his hand, and the guests scattered once more to enjoy themselves.

Jin Lan's words made the already desolate hall feel even more lonely and vast. Luo Wusheng felt as if he had been placed beneath a boundless starry sky—no, at least the starry sky had the company of stars, but here there was nothing at all.

By walking straight through the eastern wall of this large room, one could return to another place. It looked like a backyard mountain featuring hot spring pools and the like. The sword spirit was the one who revealed this secret; otherwise, there was no way he could have known.

"Hmph, with that level of skill, a wet-behind-the-ears keyboard warrior gets instantly wrecked without explanation," Fifth Liang posted.

Unfortunately, the other members of the Yangwang family had no idea what had happened. Yang Min had taken it upon herself to return the offensive letter.

Cheng Lin's face was tight, his lips pale and chapped. Gazing at the thunder clouds in the sky, his body trembled unceasingly while his fists clenched even tighter.

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Pill Lineage felt as though their hearts were being wrung and pierced with grief, their noses stinging with unshed tears. In all their minds, the Eldest Senior Brother had always been unrestrained, arrogant, and untamed. Yet today, having just stepped into the Dark Tide, he had fallen to such a state and grown so frail. Such a stark contrast was truly difficult for them to accept in the moment.

"I love chatting and taking walks with you. Whenever you tell me lies or falsehoods, I can actually feel it. Silly, you can't fool me. Yet I am willingly and happily deceived by you." Chengyan Zhong played with her hair.

"Alright, Shanshan, stop teasing her. Right, Tingting, just call him Brother Long like the rest of us, otherwise it sounds too distant," Ye Ling said, acting like a caring elder sister.

Sure enough, she had gone looking for Hozhenan, and indeed it was because Hozhenan had been in a car accident that she had rushed away from the company.

Yet to just watch them leave like that left her unwilling, so for a moment she was truly torn.

At this time, Qiu Zhixian and her brother, along with the twin sisters Qingluo and Qingli, were still building their foundations and were not suited to be brought along to Mount Min. Therefore, Luo Jun traveled to Mount Min entirely alone.

Luo Jun’s words were spoken with an air of supreme righteousness. His voice rolled like waves, carrying far into the ears of the many cultivators who had followed behind.

Over there, Chu Qiu was still busy with her business, completely unaware that Tang Shan was helping her vet potential suitors.

Seeing this scene, Fang Duo, Tong Le, and the others exchanged bewildered glances. Even Tong Le had never seen his master like this and didn't even know his master's real name was Lan Yan, a name Fang Duo's master had blurted out.

Perhaps she simply didn't care about these things, didn't care about him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to see Xu Wei so openly and let him know without any attempt to avoid it.

It also brought hope of becoming "tech grandmasters" to vast numbers of science enthusiasts, citizen scientists, and wild masters... provided their skill levels were high enough.

Upon landing, Luo Jun immediately cast his gaze forward. With his sharp eyesight, his sight penetrated a mere dozen feet before he could no longer see the situation inside.

Ji Xiao had just returned and hadn't even had time to change his clothes. Today, Mo Xiaoyu was panting with exhaustion, clearly having taken Ji Xiao's previous words to heart.

Clearly, the positions had reversed; the Japanese were in the shadows while the Flying Tigers were exposed, and the advantage of air superiority had once again been seized by the Japanese.

"Wanqing wouldn't want anything to happen to you either, so you must come back completely unharmed!" Zhao Xinglan said.

Nearby, two guards hurriedly rushed forward to pull Lin Zhirain and Qiufeng apart. One of them forced Lin Zhirain down onto the ground, rendering her completely immobile.

"Chen Guoming, Chen Qiaoqiao! Alright, whatever you say goes!" With their child finally given a name, the smile never left Song Cheng's face. The two of them talked until the early hours of the morning before falling asleep in each other's arms.

Out on the vast ocean, however, it was entirely different—endless blue skies and seas, gulls occasionally flying past, and the salty sea breeze brushing against one's face.

Outwardly, Qin Tianchen remained calm, but he sneered inwardly. Now that he knew the identity of the thief, things would be much easier to handle.

"Really?" And he called that no big deal? This was a huge deal! This meant he could go soak in the baths from now on! Grateful, Liuxing grabbed Teacher Yamada's hand and repeatedly expressed his thanks.

Initially, when he learned the truth about Tangtang's identity, he had wanted some time to make up for the many years of missing paternal love, which was why he hadn't rushed to tell his family. Later on, after he was forced to break up with Hao Yan and returned only to find that she had married someone else, Qin Huainan dismissed the thought entirely.

Prompted by Helda, all the people of the Tal Tribe shouted and waved their arms in warning. To be sure, because they were still some distance away, they hadn't yet recognized that those people were actually Su Mu.

Zhuang Qingze had called ahead to report that he was safe. By the time they stepped through the door, the meal in the kitchen was already mostly prepared.
