Volume 1, Chapter 31: Song Jinhe’s Carelessness, Jinxing Hospitalized with Serious Illness

Lin Zhiwan had no intention of rising. She did not even turn around to look at the man behind her. She no longer wished to exchange another word with him.

Fu Yanzhou’s expression turned utterly cold. He had always believed that while Lin Zhiwan could be a bit difficult, she was always devoted when it came to Jinxing. Yet now, knowing full well that Jinxing was ill, she was still preoccupied with petty jealousy; it was simply disgraceful.

"Jinxing thought you would return tonight and waited downstairs for so long that she eventually fell asleep on the sofa! Even in her sleep, she was asking me when you would come back! Now that she is unwell, you are actually ignoring her over some trivial matter! Lin Zhiwan..."

When Nangong Qing arrived at the Palace of Earthly Tranquility that night, Yun Fuxiang had already dried her hair and was preparing to sleep. Upon receiving the announcement of the Emperor's arrival, she arched her brows in surprise.

Furthermore, their relationship had gradually devolved into this state, which left her feeling deeply anxious. Qi Lei’s favor had begun to tilt toward Xi Xiaye; she felt a subtle sense of unease, as if she had swallowed a fly, unable to bear the weight of such a disparity.

As Mu Yi and Fang Li chatted while walking, they stepped out of the auction house. There were many people ahead, and presumably, the man who had purchased the Star-Meteor Fruit was among them.

Yun Fuxiang was so startled by Nangong Qing’s actions that she shuddered. She dared not even turn her head, burying herself in her arms like an ostrich, terrified that if she couldn't help but look back and were discovered by Nangong Qing, he might silence her just to save his own face.

Because it had been easily resolved by Wosheng, she did not know what other cultivation techniques the Phantom Demon possessed besides creating illusions.

The dishes at the East Table were always the most popular among the disciples, as they were typically prepared by the Master himself. The quality was high, and even in the tasting phase, the portions were generous.

"As for that, let’s wait a while. After all, we haven't been out for very long, and returning now wouldn't yield much. As for the Spirit Academy, I’ll have to trouble Aunt Qian and Uncle Rong. You should be able to handle the notification, right?" Mu Yi said with a chuckle.

Although Jiao Yang felt slightly annoyed by Shao Bing and his own cultivation was far superior, the fact that Shao Bing belonged to the State Preceptor’s Hall meant Jiao Yang could not lash out. This was the leverage Shao Bing could utilize.

After questioning Song Tianyan, the State Preceptor had Qingmei sit on the couch, assume her usual meditation posture, and then ingest the medicinal pill.

Zhou Shan, Qin Le, and Qing Xian’er agreed with what Hong Ling and Mu Yi had said. After glancing at the Phoenix-Cry Bird still trapped in the spiritual storm, they turned, leaped onto the rocks, and reached the top after a few steps.

At Wan Jian Peak, Shen Zhou gave Shen Zhou intensive training in the combat techniques and grappling methods commonly used in the military. Naturally, Tiger, feeling eager, also stepped onto the ring to spar with Shen Zhou, learning boxing footwork as they practiced.

"If that’s the case, Ye Junyi, you are truly sick," Tang Wan said, not mincing her words.

Hearing Ye Junyi’s words, Ye Jinhuan finally breathed a sigh of relief; otherwise, there was no telling what kind of scene might have unfolded tonight.

Xu Youran stared blankly, watching Xu Zhengyan’s aged appearance, tears of emotion welling in her eyes.

This was a deliberate arrangement by Fang Chongyang, who even had it live-streamed to create the illusion that the Jiangnan Group’s fashion show was the center of everyone's attention.

If the original body was willing to let go, the Zhao family would be unlikely to help him secure a job in the capital, but even if he moved his household registration there, it wouldn't be much of an issue.

The Liu family lanterns reached Old Master Liu, who put great effort into promoting them and finding ways to raise the family's profile before they sold well and gained their current reputation.

Instead, she remained composed, stood up, and walked gracefully to Song Yanyu’s side. Without waiting for him to introduce her, she took the initiative to bow to the middle-aged man.

This also made it clear to the people of Fengcheng that Ye Junyi’s wife was not merely a figurehead, but truly the lady of the Ye household.

It was precisely because they knew the old man’s temperament that they had not informed him of this matter today.

The smile on that face was as faint as morning radiance, casting a warm glow that looked incredibly enchanting in Gao Jun’s eyes.

Jing Sheng Su Su, however, calmly ate her snacks. She did not know why, but this Mr. Gongye gave her a chilling sensation; yet, upon closer inspection, it felt like a mere illusion.

By evening, the mother and daughter slipped out of the dilapidated shack and into the reed marsh. The moon was full that night, shining into the reeds and pointing them toward a clear path.

The King of Iron possessed a racial talent that granted immunity to all mental shocks, so no matter how powerful the bewitchment was, it was like throwing a wink to a blind man—it held no meaning for Chief Sethos.

By the well, I cranked the water bucket with a rhythmic sound, when a large hand reached out and snatched the windlass from my hands.

Hanxiang Mountain was chosen as the site for the Tournament of Spells, and it was truly a mountain of immortals, with green peaks carved in jade and emerald cliffs piled with clouds. The two cliffs stood like a crouching tiger and a coiled dragon, forming an endless, dizzying chasm, broken only occasionally by a valley that allowed a glimpse into a secluded, uninhabited fairyland.

"Everyone! Take them down at once to uphold the dignity of the City Lord’s Mansion!" Seeing Zhan Qingxiao’s arrogant words, he finally lost his patience and ordered everyone to attack.

The result, however, was baffling: the boss of the South City Gang, "Black Mountain," seemed to have disappeared!!! The Four Tigers of the South City had not been seen for a long time, and only the second-in-command, Cui Sen, and the strategist, Cui Yuxi, had appeared a few times at the main venues...

"Uncle Pan, take everyone straight to the South City to rendezvous with the young master. I will go to assist Qingxiao!" Zhan Qingyun said.

Yin Feng’s eyes showed little emotional fluctuation. With a wave of his hand, he directly dispelled the true essence sealing Han Gu’s mouth.
