Volume One, Chapter 38: You Are Being Completely Unreasonable
With the bothersome Jun Yuning finally gone, the group continued their leisurely stroll through the Imperial Garden.
Ever since returning to his estate, Su Mu had remained reclusive, declining all invitations and showing no interest in poetry gatherings or social salons. Even when he did venture out, he would go in disguise, sneaking away accompanied only by Cai'er.
On the twelfth of August, Youzhu and Cuiping arrived back in the capital. They checked into an inn located along the only route to the Wu residence, rarely stepping outside during the day, instead peering through the windows, hoping to catch a glimpse of their young master passing by below.
"Ma Yi is still alive; the others are all dead." Taro Inui bowed even lower. Shinzo Abe grabbed at his own graying hair, speechless.
Following the strike of the third golden palm print, a force akin to a missile explosion erupted, its terrifying might sweeping through everything. The surroundings were obliterated, the ground shattered and collapsed, and even the air currents were annihilated. Both Tiss and Case were sent flying a great distance away.
Moreover, Su Mu was well aware of these matters. He always felt as though he had a handle on Su Mu, and naturally, he felt little joy upon seeing him.
"Yes, I understand." Both men maintained their posture, answering in muffled tones before rising to their feet.
Xia Tian took a few steps back, lowering his torso, a cyan-blue wind sphere flickering incessantly in the palm of his hand.
Yet, as he scanned the area, he saw Qiao Daoqing with his hands folded, appearing as detached and transcendent as a cloud, merely smiling faintly at the middle-aged man without saying a word.
"Father just received news: the heir to the Kameda family, Ishibayashi Kameda, has killed Shen Yu and is now fleeing toward the airport, with Ye Bufei in hot pursuit," Zhang Yunhao said in a low, grave voice.
"Alright, brothers, there's no need to dwell on this any further. We should just focus on living our own lives." Situ Yan did not expect them to understand immediately; having just one of them grasp it was enough.
Oh no, at this moment, Edward was a sitting duck. Even without a scope, that Easterner could easily hit him.
Jiang Tian remained motionless. Only after Huang Bingyao sat down did he follow suit, taking his seat on the sofa with formal restraint.
At this moment, the pale-faced Daoist produced a storage pouch containing a thousand spirit stones and, with a flick of his wrist, sent it flying into the hands of Elder Tianlong.
Jiang Li’s spirits soared. He had been fretting over how to gather the formidable players he had encountered along the way; if the game were to open such a platform in the future, it would certainly be an excellent solution.
She dared not move a muscle, pressing her back against the door, waiting silently for her friend to arrive.
Wei Xingheng was the leader among them. This time, six individuals who had undergone internal organ evolution had arrived, each one serving as a representative for Wei Xingheng.
Once the human flesh-and-blood body is separated from consciousness and no longer bound, it implies choice. In the future, every citizen of Gaia Pure Land will be free to choose their own body, and even their gender.
Having said this, his eyes lit up, and he ran straight toward Lian Xujun, only changing direction after catching a signal from her eyes.
With that, Yi Nan swiftly withdrew the Five-Soul Soul-Breaking Cauldron. A hazy light flashed, and no one saw how the cauldron had vanished.
Yet, as Prince Edward climbed up from the ground once more, his eyes were filled with shock and terror.
"Who are you? Why have you come here?" Despite her surprise at the man who possessed only half a nose, Beiming Yu continued to stare at him coldly.
Li Longfei and Manni hid by the window of the house, shouting to Consort Yang, who lay exhausted on the kang. Alas, Consort Yang, having no inkling of the danger quietly closing in on her, remained asleep on the kang, resting.
