Chapter 40: Going to Flirt with Gu Zixi

Gu Zixi turned to look at him, her eyes instantly cold and unfriendly. Di Tingxiao was thick-skinned; no matter how icy someone was, he could still stick to them.

“Don’t be so hostile! I spent a few years in Yuzhou too, maybe we even know each other? Or I could give you a hand.”

“A hand…”

“It’s a pity that Zheng’er nearly wiped out the entire Tang residence just to defend you, got beaten in the palace, and now she’s still lying in bed,” Qinghe remarked leisurely.

At that moment, Jiang Yunya watched them remain motionless, her heart filled with worry. If Xu Shizhi really had a predetermined choice, what would they do?

With that, Wan Yi rushed straight into the vortex without looking back. As she entered, the pitch-black whirlpool automatically closed.

However, Liu Qianqian had no idea that Xuan Yuan Yu was truly an old stubborn man—a cold, aloof cultivator, but fully aware of his situation and making the most accurate choice. After all, people always seek benefit and avoid harm, even proud cultivators are no exception.

“You really think Lu Tingfei just went off for convenience? He simply found an excuse to leave us and make an important call,” Yi Kexin said coldly, with a hint of disdain for the two.

Outside the cultivation world, war raged endlessly, never ceasing; the number of fallen quasi-emperors grew steadily.

He hadn’t expected to meet Jennifer here. He looked carefully, thinking he’d mistaken her for someone else, but upon closer inspection, it really was Jennifer. In his surprise, he greeted her; Jennifer was equally astonished to see him, never imagining they’d meet in such a place.

Turning away from the conference room, Lu Yunnuan packed up her desk with a confident smile, ignored the startled gazes around her, and walked straight out of the company.

At that time, students from other schools who had come for testing were already leaving, while the students from the host school had yet to arrive. Soon, once most had gone, the gates would close for the English listening pre-test, allowing the candidates to get familiar with the exam room.

Therefore, Laozi actually refused to join forces with Buddhism. But apart from that, he couldn’t think of any other approach. Even if the Buddhists joined, it might not be enough to defeat the likes of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, but it would at least increase their odds a bit, which Laozi was unwilling to forgo.

Liu Xuemei saw the confidence on Ye Canxue’s face and instinctively chose to trust her. For in her heart, Ye Canxue had never let her down.

As Chen Yidao put it, rather than threatening employees with their salary to make them obey, it’s better to lure them with bonuses and let them strive on their own.

The team pushed onward, clearing their way to the Ice Queen’s spawn point. If before there were only a few Ice Queens mixed in with the Snowman Kings, now what lay before them was a vast sea of white shadows. The once tingling laughter had now become a series of deathly notes urging them on.

A strange mountain where extreme heat and cold converged, birthing countless treasures and countless dangers. Thus it became one of the three deadly zones of the Forgotten Forest, known as Flame Ice Mountain.

Just then, bang bang bang—the sound of knocking echoed. Chen Yidao thought Grandpa Chen and the others were looking for him. With half an apple in hand, he walked over and opened the door. A chill swept through him; clearly someone had knocked, but now there was no one. Could it be a ghost?

Compared to the Three Northeastern Kingdoms and the Eastern Wa Dynasty, the Elysium Holy Sect was in the best position. Though they’d lost 110,000 troops, they quickly replenished their numbers. And the weakening of the Three Northeastern Kingdoms worked in their favor, helping them break free from the control of both the kingdoms and the Eastern Wa Dynasty in the future.
