Volume One, Chapter 29: Living Together, the Forgotten Folder

Feeling the warmth at her fingertips, Shen Shuhe’s eyes flickered. She lowered her gaze and met Wen Yu’s eyes.

“I’m sorry, Wen Yu. It’s all because of me,” Shen Shuhe said hoarsely.

“What’s written on the paper is exactly what I just said.” After finishing the translation, Luo Hao folded the paper and handed it back.

Naturally, such a rule existed because nothing in this secret realm could attract cultivators at the middle or higher stages of the Qi Refining Realm.

Su Ranchen was filled with regret, annoyed that she had been too preoccupied with scheming and had failed to ask Nan Wan to leave an invitation behind.

The giant serpent’s enormous body began to retreat slowly. Only after the two mountain peaks concealed most of its form did it stop, leaving merely a sliver of its eyes visible, as though it were hiding in the shadows and silently observing Qin Jue.

It transformed into a mass of gray. On closer inspection, one could see spiritual energy surging abundantly within it—a vitality unlike anything ordinary.

Fu Jinxiu did not move an inch. He stared fixedly at Nan Wan, like a leopard guarding against the prying eyes of others.

Yet even in a place where righteousness flourished like a dragon, hyenas and flies still lurked. The only difference from other cities was that there were far fewer of them.

He removed his clothes and draped them over a tree branch to dry. Then he walked to the riverbank, intending to catch some fish and have an outdoor barbecue.

“To the north lies Emerald Screen Mountain, to the south lies Scorpion Valley, to the east lies Heavenly Pool Market, and to the west lies Divine Wood City. The sect has assigned this entire region to the Li family,” Zhao Ling’er said softly, a hint of pride in her voice.

However, none of that was the point. The point was that this face was astonishingly familiar—familiar enough to haunt him in nightmares whenever midnight came.

Feng Linghao stood to one side with his arms folded across his chest. He spoke casually, nodding toward Ji Cheng in acknowledgment.

After a long while, the people on the other side finally seemed to have run out of strength to continue cursing and railing. They were at last willing to stop and think of a solution.

“You damned old man, you huge bastard! Is it really so much fun to torment me and seal my acupoints?”

The moment Feng Yiyue was put down and had her acupoints released by Li Yin, she pointed at him and shouted furiously. Her temper was not particularly bad, but whenever she encountered Li Yin, her expression changed in an instant.

Unexpectedly, after Qian Lai spoke, everyone agreed with him. Then, wearing an astonished and puzzled expression, Qian Lai led several dozen people into the forest.

Huo Xiao neither agreed nor disagreed. He helped her open the suitcase and folded the clothes she had just selected into it, his movements so practiced that he could have been a butler.

It was not until three days later that Lin Han left Herville Academy, boarded the transport vehicle belonging to the Ulea family, and set off.

As the scene of the incident, news about Asyati Academy naturally spread throughout the entire institution. The whole academy descended into chaos, and the news soon reached the ears of one principal culprit and three accomplices among the four involved. When a massive stone crashes into the sea, it is bound to raise waves that reach the heavens.

Daisy walked over to a brown Dutch Warmblood. She stroked its elegant head and gazed into its friendly, wide eyes, looking utterly endearing and guileless. She took out the white powder she had prepared long ago, poured it into the horse’s feed box, and mixed it evenly with her hand so that no one would notice.

Without exception, those two ordinary characters belonging to Lin Han, a person with such a simple background and an unremarkable name, were engraved in the hearts of these high-ranking figures who symbolized the military.

I feel as though I did not come to be Ksitigarbha. I came to be the underworld’s nanny. Why does everything have to be done by me, Ksitigarbha? The previous Ksitigarbha seemed to have had a wonderfully easy life. I never saw him do anything.

Actually, there is no real enmity between Pauline and me. At most, Dahei merely bit and injured her dog. Seeing how bitterly she hates me now, I cannot help feeling an urge to tease her.

Cong Yi turned the machete around and used the back of the blade to deal with the thugs who charged at them again as though they had no regard for their lives.
