Chapter 787: Gou Jiao Tells a Story

Xiao Yu carefully observed Gou Jiao’s facial features and aura, her doubts lingering unresolved.

His condition was something she could easily calculate using Ziwei Dou Shu.

It was even clearer and more precise than reading faces for others.

When she used copper coins in Zhongli County to divine fortune and misfortune for others, it was always hazy, like viewing flowers through mist—seven parts calculation, three parts guesswork.

To avoid humiliation, she had to put on an air of mystery, pretending profundity, using verbal tricks to extract information from her clients.

Han Ning and Bu Qingyun never imagined their antics would thrust them back into the spotlight of major factions, but Han Ning had his reasons—he intended to stir up the waters of this Immortal Fate Continent.

As for people like Li Weiliang and Jiang Qiming, they likely hadn’t considered this layer either, assuming naively that since he was removed from “No. 2 Leader,” the news editor position came with it.

After the Yin-Yang Grinding Disc blocked the opponent’s attack, Lin Shuo shifted his internal energy and immediately unleashed the Dragon-Elephant Tyrant Sword Art.

Sun Quan praised him highly and entrusted Lu Su and Zhou Yu with preparations, thus igniting the dramatic Battle of Red Cliffs. From then on, Sun Quan and Lu Su’s “Change of Robes Strategy” gained lasting fame due to their victory at Red Cliffs.

Hosting a market required harvesting immortal fruits and herbs from the farm’s orchards and herb gardens, and capturing immortal beasts; although the items in Han Ning’s farm were low-grade, their variety was vast, making Sun Simiao undoubtedly overwhelmed.

Wen Laosan’s strategy was sound—Black pushed outward, White retreated, securing the corner’s territory, but how to reinforce Black’s outer flank was perplexing; whether to tiger or connect, the shape grew loose, yet ignoring it to play elsewhere left White free to press at the fourth line, which Black could not afford.

But once Wan Qi Chen made up his mind, even Chu Linfeng himself could not dissuade him—he might even applaud, saying this idea was excellent.

At the fifth stone gate, Chu Linfeng showed no hesitation, inputting light-element energy and stepped through; the scene inside was ordinary, yet within that ordinariness lay a faint trace of the extraordinary.

Just as the group endured their arduous wait, a loud infant cry suddenly erupted from the delivery room.

He suddenly remembered another ability on his master’s person—one even more terrifying—and his entire body shuddered.

“My cousin Lan hasn’t spoken to me at all just now—could she still be angry about what happened before?” Gu Xinian’s regretful expression was perfectly calibrated: one bit more would seem fake, one bit less would lack sincerity.

Li Xu had wanted the Earthly Five Thunder Cauldron to devour the crippled Gathering Yuan Cauldron, merging them into one for both offense and defense. The idea was good, but execution proved exceedingly difficult.

“You’ve taken all my ambition—I’ll just live quietly now!” Huang Yan spoke as indifferent as ever.

Earlier, before the “shadow,” Li Xu had merely hastily refined using Chaos Qi and Xuanming Qi to get by; the “shadow” had not detected Jiuyou Qi, so Li Xu naturally kept it hidden.

Shangguan Yun’s eyes flashed with sharp light; his heart churned with turmoil! A Heavenly Stage cultivator at nineteen! If Jingjing followed him, our Shangguan Clan’s revival is within reach! No one noticed his fist clenched tightly beneath the table.

A Mei saw Li Tian smile, and she grinned back at him, revealing a row of neat teeth.

Looking up, above the well’s mouth, the water churned, with ripples and fragments of debris sinking downward.

Wan Qiang hadn’t expected Shen Tong to have such boldness; seeing Zhang Hongqing’s humiliating state, he said nothing and turned away.

He couldn’t bear to bury his sister beside the cold river, exposed to the current, so he thought of selling her corpse for a ghost marriage—giving her a place to rest.

Then Su Chen also went wild, not only playing wildly energetic music but also pulling out an entire nightclub lighting system directly from his system.
