Chapter 040: Feeling Sorry for Him
Qu Wan’s gaze was bright and unwavering.
“Alright,” Jiang Zeyu replied softly a moment later.
The hospital was quiet in the night.
A nurse came by twice to check on them, but neither the doctors nor the nurses showed any surprise at Jiang Zeyu’s presence.
They must be used to it by now.
It seemed Jiang Zeyu came here often.
What Qu Wan hadn’t expected was that after all these years, they still kept in touch.
The young girl gradually fell asleep, leaning against the sofa.
Qu Wan also leaned back on the other side, staring at Jiang Zeyu’s back for a long time.
The boy from back then had already grown up; now Jiang Zeyu carried much on his shoulders and kept many things in his heart.
Qu Wan didn’t know how long she stared at him.
There were even some elderly people who, upon hearing that the nursing home allowed them to raise chickens and drink pure, organic camellia oil, immediately wanted to join in.
Not to mention now—even ordinary survivors could all fit into those rooms.
Speaking of this, Luo Quan’s heart was as heavy as the waters of West Lake. He’d had nowhere to vent before, but now he finally found someone to confide in and poured everything out to Luo Ya.
Song Wan sat obediently by the bedside; her clothes, hastily fetched from the Wardrobe Office, did not quite fit.
The Mountain-Sea Pagoda was a perfect place for training. Among the younger generation, Lin Chen was an unrivaled force—searching the Five Domains, he could find no worthy opponent.
When Yaoguang arrived, Min Yue wielded a silver spear, dazzling in the air like a crescent moon. With each sweep, she shattered the skulls of the Northern Rong soldiers.
Upon entering the Swallowing Star Domain, Lin Chen captured several True Demons and interrogated them about their clan’s lair.
By rights, having already solved the Twin Prime Conjecture—famed alongside Goldbach’s Conjecture—it should not have been an issue.
A single misstep, and not only the entire room but the surrounding area within twenty or thirty meters would be razed to the ground.
By comparison, in the First Heaven, cultivators who ascended from the Ten Lower Realms were seen as geniuses and powerhouses, drawing attention wherever they went. If one happened to be an extraordinary prodigy, all the major factions would vie to recruit them.
Aside from changing into new clothes, she had specially styled her hair and put on a delicate, subtle makeup.
Lu Li asked Xu Wei for another cigarette. After finishing it, she decided to contact Director Qi directly. They’d added each other on WeChat at the hospital. Lu Li sent a voice message, getting straight to the point with her question.
A soft chime sounded—not from Li Wei activating his immortal treasure, but from an abrupt, unseen, mysterious force.
Lu Li listened to the two of them, lowered her head, and pressed her lips together. The feeling of something blocking her heart was still there.
He felt not only that his attack was shattered by the opponent, but that the counterattack showed no sign of dissipating. It pressed back at him, threateningly overwhelming.
Unfortunately, this golden form was far too powerful to be brought into the outside world. Otherwise, that world would be torn apart by its invincible might—a fate he was unwilling to see.
Five or six bodyguards surrounded a portly, middle-aged man, striding over.
From this day forth, the Myriad Stone Sanctuary would no longer exist in the Red Star Domain; perhaps only its legends would remain. Yet, as years passed, even those legends would fade, until none remembered it—save perhaps a few old cultivators, and even they would cease to speak of it.
Ji Tian smiled wryly. He had wanted to say that Qingyun Song and her group were not his friends, but seeing her so pitiful, he sighed, said nothing, and picked her up, speaking to Wu Ming.
From time to time, Zhou Yanzhou glanced at Chen Xi, seeing her hugging her arms, head tilted, blankly staring out the window. Zhou Yanzhou swallowed, but in the end, said nothing.
With such a formidable master leading those two fools, it was embarrassing that they could still cower like this. It was a disgrace in front of the old man.
Lin Ping also smiled, “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll be back soon.” With that, he left the yard.
