just quietly be of use to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spare me your sanctimonious nonsense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything in Tiangge City naturally belongs to me; that’s a given, with no need for your oaths to overemphasize it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chai Ye looked up deeply at Fang Geyu, his eyes flickering with a mysterious light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his head even further, bowing lower, “As you say, Miss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three behind him, however, seemed much younger and more vigorous, their eyes filled with an indomitable spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But out of respect for Fang Geyu’s illustrious status, they held their tongues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the four, the only female cultivator, An Siqi, could no longer restrain herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu’s words were full of contempt for Sea Expansion Realm cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they say, “He who takes the king’s coin becomes his man,” the dignity of a Sea Expansion Realm should not be trampled upon so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in Shifang City knew that this young lady was capricious and untamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Participating in the grand examination as a Guest Elder was a thankless task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Engaged in the most dangerous and arduous work, it was she, the idle rich young lady, who reaped the rewards without toiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this young lady was never one to consider her underlings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She carried herself with an air of superiority, as if the efforts of others were owed to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they died in battle for her, she could calmly accept others’ sacrifices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, in the assessment for the City Lord, there was an endless stream of people willing to serve the eldest and second sons, seeing an opportunity for a better future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Third Miss, while people respected and protected her, if talking about those truly willing to work for her earnestly, there were hardly a few.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for their unfortunate allegiance to Tiangge City, if it weren’t for Xianling City’s abundance of Spiritual Energy, truly no one would be willing to wade into these troubled waters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having harbored resentments for a long time, An Siqi couldn’t stand having her loyalty and vows devalued in this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet she didn’t dare to express her dissatisfaction openly and instead spoke indirectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Third Miss has a heart filled with many depths and possesses shocking talent; it’s understandable that she doesn’t think much of us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Miss indeed can find better Guest Elders than us, naturally, we wouldn’t have the shamelessness to occupy Miss’s spots.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her companions neither contradicted nor agreed with her statement, each keeping their eyes and expressions lowered, revealing no opinion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu’s eyes flickered with amusement as she eyed her, a cold laugh escaping her lips, “You really think you’re someone special.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chai Ye suddenly smiled, “I heard that the Third Miss gave up a Sea Expansion Realm spot and found another Guest Elder by herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surely you must have found an extremely capable master?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, his gaze subtly drifted in the direction of Lin Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having lost both legs, Lin Yuan appeared no different from an ordinary person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was born in the great sea and was naturally blessed by the Sea God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her aura was naturally stable and calm, like a sea under a gentle breeze and calm waves, revealing only its surface, unaware of the surging undercurrents below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chai Ye thought to himself that the young mistress had always had an inexplicable bond with the distant Kongcang Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeking the assistance of the Mountain Realm for this occasion was indeed a wise move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu inwardly frowned, thinking how useless that little corpse demon was, looking frail and delicate; she could knock down ten like him with one punch, hardly any kind of master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after all, he was one of their own from the Mountain Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was alright for her to mock and bully him a bit on normal days, just to ease the boredom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wouldn’t do to let outsiders look down on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cleared her throat and brazenly said, “Indeed, I did invite someone more useful than you four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his help, the City Lord’s seat will surely be within easy reach.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was within easy reach she did not know; for now, she was just bluffing, to let the bluff take shape first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, she could equip that brat with a powerful Puppet Mecha with a destructive ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unleashing chaos in the competition without lifting a finger herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to see who dared look down on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Fang Geyu’s self-assured demeanor, An Siqi dared not speak rashly, fearing she would bring shame upon herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps she had underestimated the mistress who seemed only to idle about all day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to invite someone even more formidable than the four of them, her tactics were profound indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chai Ye smiled, “Oh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a powerful fellow Daoist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I really must ask the Miss to introduce us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the examination, it’s not just about individual combat; there’s also team assessment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we could receive guidance from Daoist friend, perhaps our chances of victory could increase in the examination three months from now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu was thinking about how to evade the subject as Baili An’s current state was somewhat embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of nowhere, like a dead fish lying on Lin Yuan’s legs, Baili An’s body convulsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes carried a rare annoyance, the first time he had so clearly shown his little temper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three months before the examination begins, Fang Geyu, you liar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuming, he picked up the Afu Tu rabbit that was snuggled comfortably on his chest and hurled it towards Fang Geyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu reflexively grabbed the rabbit by the ears, swung it around and tossed it back into Baili An’s arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said without a hint of guilt, “Is that so?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I must have remembered wrong then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An, imitating Fang Geyu’s action, straightened the rabbit’s ears, about to use them as a sandbag to throw back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could swing it twice, the rabbit woke up.\u003C\u002Fp>",1309,"2026-06-06T15:16:24.479Z",1,"novelbin.me","af4548200379c301b7c22bc70f201441980502d296387e6411200b858984b09c","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-185","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-183",1594,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjourney-to-the-end-of-the-night-cover.jpg"]
