The special recruits who had followed that second-level mentor had already suffered heavy losses. Now, five new special recruits who had barely lost anything arrived, and naturally, everyone tried their best to take advantage of them.

Deji gazed upward, her heart in constant turmoil, as if something momentous was about to occur at any moment. Meido stared intently at the foot of the mountain, her palm-sized face betraying a hint of unease.

“Though this old monk knows little of the righteous arts among the top ten sects, I have some modest understanding.”

Inside the grand hall, all the followers of the Moon Sect gathered behind the elder, gazing at Lu Bu with reverence, a far cry from the hatred they once held for him. The Tiger Devourer Army brothers were beside themselves with excitement, overjoyed to witness such a powerful Lu Bu.

After Yan Lingtian’s incident and his departure from the Azure Cloud Sect, she had no way to climb to another branch; she could only follow her senior brother Gongsun Yin to Fenglang Pass.

Song Yao’s lips twitched. Though she delighted in watching the drama, Song Yuanbao’s plaintive and sorrowful expression tugged at her heart.

The man referred to as Brother Zhang’s eyes gleamed at the words, and before he could flatter further, a cold snort sounded from nearby.

“Perhaps, from the standpoint of having no background or status, it’s not necessarily a bad thing for you. What do you think?” At the end, Yixia heard these words through the receiver, and as the tone beeped steadily, her expression became conflicted.

Young men like Lu Feng are either proud and unruly or deep and reserved. Generally, those with a flashy exterior but weak substance are the ordinary ones.

Ah, no wonder Uncle Chang told me not to keep probing. If I continue, more people will die—whether they know or don’t know, they’ll perish because of this.

“You all eat first, I’ll go out and have a look, maybe buy something!” With those words, Li Siguan hurried outside. This was a place for trading and gathering news from the outside world; it was best to inquire here, Li Siguan thought.

Even more valuable than silver or gold bars are crystal stones. Everyone on the continent knows this, especially those of the fifth tier and above, which are exceedingly rare. These transparent magic crystals, sparkling like gemstones, would be at least sixth tier, and the theater owner had never seen one.

“Yes, about a month ago I was still living here!” Shi Jingtian replied in utter bafflement.

Yet truly skilled physicians do exist, for beneath great fame there must be real talent, and those legendary doctors are not to be disrespected. Compared to them, he still fell short in some areas.

Jun Lan had followed Chen Xuan daily to the Battlefield of Myriad Phases to watch the Calamity Battle, while Blood Spirit disappeared from the inn every morning, vanishing before Jun Lan awoke.

Even more extraordinary, a beauty from the dance department once came to our dormitory building at six in the morning just to wash his battered Jetta, which rattled and threatened to lose its doors and windows with every move.

It was as if a thunderbolt had struck the ground: Qin Shou raised his hands to his chest to block Lin Jian’s crushing punch—a blow that shattered jade and stone. His feet remained unmoved, but the platform beneath him shook violently.

“No, no, it’s not that, we… we really…” This disciple seemed even less articulate than Lian Heyu; finally, he grew so anxious that his face turned red and sweat poured down, but he couldn’t explain himself at all.

Chen Xuan knew that if Xuan’er never left Xuan Valley, and only the elders of Misty Valley knew her whereabouts, even if he infiltrated Misty Valley now, it would hardly make a difference.

Today, Hu Hu arrived early to ferry people across the river—much earlier than usual—because the peach blossoms on the far bank were about to bloom, so the number of people crossing increased. Whether to pick blossoms and dry them to mix with food, or to exchange them for money in a wealthy household, both were good ways to supplement family income.

Bei Xuening narrowed her eyes, watching Ling Yi sit down. She had changed into new clothes, but the scent of blood left by Yin Qi still lingered.

Xuan Chenhao had already risen from the lawn, his hand pressed to the ground. It seemed to move, but finally cooled and stopped.

At the same time, both hands began to move, engaging in close combat—one hand practicing Wing Chun, inner energy hidden within, with a faint white glow. Anyone who exchanged blows with Chen Han was shocked, for when their hands met, theirs felt like apples while his were like steel.

Bonuses, travel, housing—all belonged to Hong Yu. Although Li Liang worked diligently, every time it ended in two minutes; just as she began to feel something, Li Liang was already finished.

“How could it be? Young Master Yu is talented and prudent, he will surely achieve greatness,” said Huang Jia.

Upon reaching the cave in Jiangshan, Hua Yileng said nothing and leaped to the top. The zombies dared not ask questions, but according to He Ruomei, they had encountered a Taoist along the way and even fought him.

Three seconds later, the fish that had leapt from the water fell back with a splash, sending ripples across the surface.

Soft lips and teeth had only begun to move, when the man’s overwhelming kiss sealed them completely.
