Fang Zhiyi’s lips curled into a faint smile. She found it rather amusing.
Although she had never heard of the Azure Cloud Sect, any sect that could boast so many experts was naturally no ordinary one. She simply had not expected it to be so “particular about rules.”
Gratitude and repaying kindness might be virtues of a good person, but the cultivation world had no need for good people.
Only the strong could survive here.
Seeing Tie Bin kneel immediately afterward as well, he declared loudly, “I, too, am willing to go through fire and water for Senior, no matter the cost.”
Gu Zhiyin ultimately could not bring himself to be ruthless. He lifted her chin and tried to wipe away her tears with the pad of his finger.
“You’ve suddenly become so kind to me. I’m not quite used to it yet,” Ye Yang joked.
“Ningning?” He called her name several times, but no one answered. A servant heard him, however, and came in to help him into his wheelchair.
“Could she be the daughter of some prominent family? Does her father really have that kind of influence?” Su Jinchu speculated.
If they had not happened to see her here, they would never have recognized her even if they had encountered her face-to-face on the street.

But when he remembered that this was a livestream watched by the entire internet, he desperately tried to suck back his tears and snot, so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and hide in it.
Not far away, a battered carriage lay half-sunken in the mud, steeped in desolation. Only a discarded rabbit doll dangled from the carriage pole, swaying in the wind.
The moment Yang Shengli finished speaking, he saw Zhou Jun charge straight toward Luo Ya like an idiot. He took the corn from her hand and said, “Comrade Luo Ya, I’m Zhou Jun. From now on, I’ll be an educated-youth comrade fighting alongside you.” After saying this, Zhou Jun struck what he considered an extremely handsome pose and extended his right hand.
Though Zuo Qingyan knew perfectly well that her grandfather would never agree so casually, they had happened to see her returning with Ye Qing today. The resulting misunderstanding was rather serious.
“Don’t go near him. Anyone who harbors killing intent toward him will be killed by him instead.” Zhong Mu had learned of it from the comments beforehand and would not be so easily baited by the youth’s deliberate provocation.
“Senior Brother, we want to go too. We may not have fourth- and fifth-year disciples, but the other mountain sects do. Do you think you could get us a few places as attendants?” Ying Shiyi asked at once.
To be honest, no one had any expectations whatsoever regarding her martial ability. She was certainly beautiful, but she did not look as though she knew the slightest bit of martial arts. The director had already prepared to find a stunt double for her at any moment, yet he had never expected Xia Xinnuan to give him such a tremendous surprise.
Li Wu laughed heartily. “All right. Now I can rest completely at ease.”
The Radiant Stone was just as useful as the legends claimed. Nothing had gone wrong.
The plaza of Dark Star City was the entrance to the various dungeons. As long as even one member of the Shadow Guild saw her being punished, they would know that the Xiao Zhimiao currently in their guild was an impostor.
Given Xiao Zhimiao’s character, even if she truly killed the evil god she worshipped here today, she probably would not say a word.

Jiang Wu and the others found an underground cavern through which water flowed. After venturing deep inside and searching for roughly half an hour, they saw a huge stone ahead, engraved with the patterns of an ancient formation.
Taking in someone like Xu Zhilan, who could turn deranged and go mad at any moment, probably counted as one way of saving the world.
Lan Yuetong and the three young people brought by Luo Yin, the Second Prince of the Great Luo Dynasty, all took part in the tournament for the proper rankings.
Xia Xinnuan pondered for a moment, then took a sheet of paper from her bag and quickly wrote out a prescription. She pushed it across the table to Shen Peixing.
Jiang Wu ordered his men to bring several members of the Bone-Sea royal clan before him. As his eyes opened and closed, the world of karmic threads appeared before him.
But no one answered him. Then Chu Sheng felt himself being lifted into the air, with someone grasping all four of his limbs.
Transparent blisters protruded around his mouth. They had not been noticeable while he was in the water, but now that he had been pulled out, they could be seen with perfect clarity.
To silence the complaints of the feudal lords who had come to the king’s aid, lavish rewards were indispensable, as was winning their loyalty. He would personally receive them and make them grand promises.
