Chapter 336: Bottom-Line Thinking: Who Shall I Follow?

When Zheng Fa uttered the words "Chen Commandery," Xuehe Laozu's face once again showed confusion; he stared at Zheng Fa, puzzled in his heart:

What? How does this guy know everything?

From his expression, Zheng Fa and the others didn't even need to hear his answer.

Zheng Fa guessed Chen Commandery merely because of a doubt in his mind:

No matter how strong the Great Zizai Demon Cult was, or how long it had hidden, a Soul Transformation cultivator was always valuable.

Haven't you seen how the Supreme Dao Sect suffered?

"Suffered"? "Suffered"? That's kids' slang! She gazed lovingly at Xiaobai—a good child—and often felt she hadn't cared for him enough.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yan realized Ning Qingqing had abandoned concealment and chosen honesty; she could no longer hold back and pulled Ning Qingqing into her arms, holding her tightly, tightly, as if wanting to embed her into her own body.

Moreover, Sun Yi had explicitly declared the surrounding region a forbidden zone, forbidding anyone to enter without permission.

Yet he couldn't stay in the hall. Jia Hong had told him to sleep in her bedroom; if he refused, she'd grow suspicious.

Zhao Xun was even more astonished: the outer courtyard strictly forbade registered disciples from forming gangs; gangs were only permitted in the inner courtyard, for core disciples.

Ning Qingqing felt a quiet satisfaction; complex, hard-to-articulate thoughts churned in her heart—sometimes joy, then sorrow. For a long time, she simply stared blankly at the screen.

At this point, Clan Chief Liu Tian had no need to pretend anymore. Enraged by Zhao Xun, he stepped back two paces, his eyes instantly brimming with killing intent, and ordered his subordinates:

Her family couldn't handle her either; yet upon closer reckoning, she had met him once—at the gathering where Fujiyama Yu publicly revealed his and the children's identities. Otherwise, all contact had been via video.

"What do you mean? That old lady didn't seem bad at all—why would she not be good?" Lu Xirou was utterly baffled and insisted on stopping to ask.

At the General's gate, Gu Chen and Gu Yan had already been waiting; the horses were ready, and as soon as Gu Qingming stepped out, they could depart immediately.

Niu Mang was fired up, his ox horns flickering in and out, his eyes bulging wide; Luo Li stayed ever vigilant, fearing he might suddenly charge and hurt her.

But Bai Mao had only trained with Zuo Lun for two months; his experience paled beside the iron-bar man's. The opponent merely flicked his wrist, effortlessly dodging Bai Mao's slash, then seized his wrist in a counter-grab.

For Ran Jiaojiao, this was expected; her eyes gleamed sharply as she stared at Sun Ba, her thoughts unknown.

No sooner had Yang Shanping begun to relax than a loud "clang" came from the front of the vehicle, freezing everyone inside in shock.

If someone else had said it, Wang Dong might have considered it further; but if Fang Jie said it, Wang Dong had to take it seriously.

He was frantic, fearing Jin Ying couldn't handle it; he was about to step forward when Jin Ying raised her left hand and waved behind her, signaling everyone to fall back.

As soon as they entered the room, a cloud of dust hit Yun Yao's face, making her cough involuntarily. She waved her hand before her face, clearing the dust from her mouth and nose, then pressed forward until she reached Lu Yingquan.

The Divine Emperor of Heaven suddenly halted, for he could not fathom how someone had appeared before him without his awareness.

"That's right! We came with our girlfriend—what's it to you?" From Ye Feifei's arms, Leng Aoyue sneered coldly at Xing Yue.

"Nuanyu, you've done a great service in this matter. Now, I need time to think carefully—go rest for now." With so much information suddenly revealed, Lin Hanxi truly needed time to consider how to respond.
