Chapter 169: Publicly Renaming the

The sky had not yet fully brightened, and Cao Sheng had no rush to go out and face that group of reporters.

Going out now would surely set them off again, chattering noisily and disturbing the neighbors' rest.

He washed and brushed his teeth calmly, then went to the kitchen to boil himself a bowl of egg noodles, carrying it to the dining room to eat slowly.

As he ate, he pondered what questions the reporters might ask, and how he should answer them.

He glanced occasionally at the sky outside.

Dian Wei, who had just passed the corner of the door, heard Xu Chu's explanation and stumbled backward, turning to glare fiercely at Xu Chu, then glancing again at Liu Tianhao—as if to say, My Lord, now do you see his true colors?

His body trembled; sensing a sharp sword qi stabbing toward him, Lu Ming summoned the Jinghong Divine Sword without hesitation, meeting that supreme sword qi head-on.

"Your Highness is wise!" Li Yang said, kneeling on the ground as he wiped sweat from his brow, seizing the moment to flatter Liu Tianhao.

The man in green was the first to react, his head stiffly turning toward the screen, then suddenly jerking as he stared tremblingly at Yinzhen, whose face was frozen in ice—a deep chill spread from his heart.

Meanwhile, Huang Qingfeng arrived at the Southern Gate of Heaven. Whether new or veteran, the heavenly soldiers and generals there all recognized Huang Qingfeng, for Haotian feared they might fail to recognize the great ones, so every member entering the Heavenly Court was required to memorize the images of key figures from Penglai Island.

Fengming Mountain is neither tall nor broad, so naturally no rainwater gathers into springs—it must be underground water without doubt!

Ye Xilin's face was ashen. Ye Mingjing had been stripped clean; Yu Guangkai no longer needed to hold back in handling this matter. What difference was there between his concubine selling exam questions and he himself selling them? Who would believe he was innocent?

This was because of Lu Ming's order—if Lu Ming had not previously forbidden the killing of innocents, the Huantian Divine Beast's bloodthirsty nature would likely have devoured these people in a single gulp.

Wang Ling, a child prodigy, naturally knew about her brother's relationship with Hu Xiu; she understood there was no need to ask outright, for she had long sensed something was off between them.

At once, Su Zhe laid out his plan, which he had pondered for days, in full detail to Bai Yu.

"Class, our review ends here. The exam is in five days—hurry and review what we've learned and aim for a good score." With that, he glanced at Yan Bin and walked out.

This time, going to Heiyu Mountain, Lan Duoduo obediently rode the same horse as Luo Yun, because she had to hold the Manghao, said to be "slowly absorbing her life energy," and since her riding skills were poor to begin with, she dared not ride alone.

Upon hearing the Master of Hehuan Sect's words, Long Wu and Ye Xiaoxi were both bewildered. The Grand Elder and Second Elder beside the Master of Hehuan Sect nearly fell to the ground.

This brief exchange reached Long Wu's ears, though he had already moved far away. Sitting in the Yunluo tent, Long Wu gasped in shock, letting out a soft "Eh?"

"Everything is fine—thanks to the care of Fan Men and Di Bo, the Ten Mercenary Guilds are now stable," Elder Le said with a kind smile.

"You think you're fit to kill Xingchen?" Fan Tianluo sneered inwardly, yet she began to miss Mo Xingchen and the others, wondering how they were faring.

Saying this, she fixed Su Zhe with a pair of bright, wide eyes, her expression clearly saying: Pay up now.

In Jingcheng, standards are high and opportunities plentiful—Lady Xie truly could not imagine someone could be this shameless.

As he spoke, he had already taken off his armor; the flat chest revealed beneath the white garment clearly indicated his gender—and also made it plain that he was not Liu Qianqian.
