Chapter 159: The Wise University Student

"What's wrong?"

Shen Siyuan saw the round-faced Miss staring at him in a daze and felt somewhat surprised.

"N-nothing, my lord," Yuan Xiaoying hurriedly stood up.

But because she moved too fast and her body was too light, she floated upward, only to fall back down very quickly.

However, it left her flustered, indicating that she had not been dead for long and was not yet accustomed to her current state.

"My lord, you

So she changed her plan: she would slaughter everyone on the Cangmang Continent and in the Divine Beast Realm who was on good terms with Feng Yunran, ensuring that Feng Yunran would not be lonely on the road to the Yellow Springs.

At this moment, she no longer feared alerting the robots; she swiftly jumped inside, then spoke to Hua Yueling.

Li Jiji did not know why he suddenly felt so melancholy; looking into Gu Yuanmu's sorrowful eyes, his heart felt as if thousands of ants were biting him.

If he had the equipment of a professional angler—a fishing boat, a sea rod, metal fishing line—he would have long since spared himself such effort.

Liang Ye spoke very patiently, and Claire no longer tried to struggle; instead, she listened carefully to what Liang Ye said.

Before Alden could react, Liang Ye had already appeared before him, and the sleeve blade in his right hand had stabbed fiercely into his abdomen.

The merchants are all shrewd; even if the Divine Beast Realm truly collapsed, they would not dare to slight them by failing to send a specialist to guide them. The only reason they hadn't was that they had delayed and arrived too late; they would certainly come looking for them afterward.

After receiving Jia Yimei's message saying, "Do not let Ye Hao know I was here," Yuan Meiqing immediately used her cultivation to mask all the scents in the office. This backfired, instead exposing the relationship between him and Jia Yimei even more.

Ye Hao could not help but nod; Jia Yimei was tall with fair, tender skin, perfectly suited for such a white long dress. Wearing it would surely give her an ethereal, fairy-like appearance.

Upon hearing Ye Hao's words, some immediately expressed their dissatisfaction, and some even prepared to attack Ye Hao. Their purpose in coming here was to attend the grand assembly; for Ye Hao to ask them to abandon it was clearly unacceptable to them.

Before long, a servant brought two portions of tsampa and milk tea. The tsampa resembled local pastries but tasted strangely peculiar; the two simply made do and ate it.

Never had he imagined such a strange occurrence could exist in this world; Shang Yu could hardly believe his own eyes.

How severe is the death penalty! Yet for the vast majority of ordinary miners who had not even cultivated internal energy, it was nothing more than a rebirth.

After a moment, perhaps because Shi Dazhu recognized his hometown and shouted for his father, disturbing the illusion, the strange mirage over the sea slowly faded, then vanished as if blown away by the wind.

Of course, such a situation did not apply to Pure Land City, for outside the city walls there was still a dense layer of electric fencing for protection. With such a modern defensive facility, no one could possibly scale their way into the city.

Jian Liang smiled and said, "Our household temporarily ran short of salt, making the meat in the pot a bit bland. We wished to add some flavor, so we came to the chessboard to ask for some to take back." The onlookers could not help but burst into laughter.

As the group was marching, suddenly more than a dozen riders galloped from ahead. Upon drawing near, Fang Guohuan saw that they were Hong Jinshan and the three former hall masters he had met before—Liu, Qi, and Ma—along with some subordinates. Hong Jinshan and the others first paid their respects to Lian Qiying and Sun Qi; seeing Fang Guohuan among them, they each felt pleased and waved to greet him.

Da Fei prepared to rise, but Liu Xiao held him down, signaling him to stay steady and first observe the movements of the Hua Wei side.

"Just now he was still in the courtyard. He must have gone out to stretch his limbs nearby. Since his injuries have only just healed, he needs to move about. Please allow Wei Bi to go out and search for him," Wei Bi replied while kneeling on the ground, yet his eyes strangely fixed on the cane that Gao Yu had thrown on the floor.
