Volume 1, Chapter 51: Waiting to See the Joke

Ye Zhaoying walked over dejectedly, the two of them standing there in a daze, before warmly comforting her, "Boss, it's fine. At worst, we..."

Ye Zhaoying suddenly raised her head, wearing a bright smile, "Director Liu agreed!"

"What?!"

As it turned out, these five individuals were the top five ranked mentors of Dragon Valley. The mentors ranked lower had not come out to compete for Wu Xie, such an outstanding student, because they clearly knew they stood no chance of winning him over, and might even end up offending people in the process, so they simply chose not to show up at all.

Deputy Commander Kili, Grand Commander Pulan, along with the high knights and commanders, stood at attention, facing the Commander-in-Chief while awaiting orders.

Empress Xiao said this very calmly, yet it made one palpable just how furious she was inside. How could such a child act this way, reprimanding her own cousin on account of an outsider?

Han You could understand the silence on the other end of the computer. After all, acquiring a master out of nowhere was one thing, but suddenly having one, two, or even three granduncles pop out of thin air—such a "buy one, get three free" windfall was probably something anyone would need a good while to digest.

They couldn't wait to broadcast the footage captured by the far-seeing magic to all the residents of the surrounding towns.

"Open the eyes of the law!" Knowing this place was definitely not a benign location, Yan Chixia activated his magic sight, revealing the place to be utterly reeking of nether energy and ghostly aura—far from any benevolent sanctuary.

As it turned out, the previous move had consumed a tremendous amount of genuine Qi for Fang Yu. Having just mastered it without fully grasping the proper method, he had rashly unleashed it. While it appeared stunningly impressive on the surface, it was actually a desperate gamble with his life on the line. The slightest misstep would have resulted in the destruction of all his meridians.

"Lin Chen, stop right now, no reckless behavior!" From far away, Ouyang Tailong anxiously shouted in a stern voice.

At this moment, the Azure Dragon Sword had been coated with a layer of black crystal obsidian by Zhentian. It lacked its former luster, but its razor-sharp, uncompromising aura still remained.

Following that, the battle commenced. After a thrilling and harrowing bloody battle, Su Dingfang and his men successfully repelled Ashina Yugu's massive army, scoring a resounding victory. Witnessing these scenes unfold before them, Songtsan Gampo furrowed his brows deeply, pondering in silence for a long time without uttering a word.

"Big brother, to be honest with you, we've only known each other for two days, and I..." Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Lin Xin's look of utter shock.

Fortunately, Brother Yu Shi had been keeping him company all along. The two of them would occasionally go out for drinks, and as time passed, Han Feng's mood wasn't quite as depressed anymore.

After a brief standoff, seeing that neither showed any signs of change, the Wind-Thunder Dragon glanced at the sword, then looked down at Chen Yun beneath it. It bit its lip, as if making up its mind about something.

Having said this, Yingxiu headed toward the Empress's main hall, intending to bid her farewell before returning to pack her things and leave the Kunning Palace, where she had stayed for more than half a year.

Han Feng could stop her once, or twice, but the more times she intervened, the more annoyed Consort Dowager Shu would become, as if Han Feng were trying to snatch her son away.

The birdcage, formed from countless delicate threads, had already enveloped the entire ship within its confines.

How much time players could reserve to clean the scene and avoid leaving behind items or traces connected to themselves depended entirely on how long they took to complete the mission.

Lin Chuyue finally understood—so it was right here. No wonder it felt so hot. The moment she touched this familiar behemoth, Lin Chuyue knew exactly what Zhang Anze was thinking at that moment.

With Ouyang Ting's consent, Yu You generously led the people to a nearby shopping mall and picked out a suitable outfit for Ouyang Ting to try on.
