Chapter 505: Chaos

Jiang Nian turned his head and noticed the quiet Li Qingrong.

Seeing she had packed nothing, he asked curiously.

"Where's your exam bag?"

"In the desk." Li Qingrong lifted her eyes to him, then pulled out a transparent bag, "Need a pen?"

"No, I've got one." Jiang Nian picked up the bag and inspected it carefully, "Why didn't you bring an eraser?"

Li Qingrong lowered her gaze, originally planning to say she didn't need one—but the words stuck in her throat.

Only after Huo Feihong left did Cang Lan sit back down at his cultivation spot, the smile on his lips vanishing completely.

"Exactly, this is our first mission—we absolutely can't mess it up. Our Yun Team can't be worse than their Feng Team, right?" Yun Jiu chimed in.

Though he felt a pang of pity for Xing Yan, who had been tossed into the space by his master, Shen Mu Bai instantly hardened his heart at the thought of him turned into a baby yet still acting without manners.

He spent little time mastering the terminal and even uncovered how to activate and develop his spiritual power.

Over a decade passed, and just as he had resolved to abandon the idea entirely, a surprise descended out of nowhere.

"... Young Master?" Wei Tie's heart jolted as he looked up at Qi Li, only to find Qi Li's face spread in a smile.

After winning the battle, Qian Ye Jue whistled triumphantly; when Qian Ye glanced over, he smirked at him with a wicked grin.

Originally, to satisfy her vanity and to force the Gao family into silent acceptance, she herself spread rumors that the two of them were involved.

Shu Wuyue widened her eyes slightly, staring at the dagger in Liu Heming's hand, then looked up at him, seeing the firmness in his face, her dark, clear eyes filled with complex emotion.

If she ate one of them, Cang Lan wouldn't need to waste effort healing his wound, and his cultivation would surge dramatically.

Wenren Xiaoyu's laughter turned utterly bleak: "Amitabha, God bless, may Ge Shanshan remain safe."

This scene was utterly unexpected—the several Feiyan Sword Manor disciples present had never imagined that this ragged boy, seemingly only fifteen or sixteen, would dare attack right before the manor's gate, and with such brutality.

Thus, Zou Yi could only rely on his physical blood energy, unable to use it to activate the Demon God Pillar, leaving him no choice but to treat it as an ordinary enhancer.

About two li from Nancheng Gate, the group checked into an inn; the three carriages held no valuable or secret items, so they let the innkeeper's servant take them away.

In his sleep, Yi Zilin heard the door open; he opened his eyes and before he could react, someone dragged him into a chair.

Chen Qingniu naturally didn't understand, and to avoid trouble, he decided not to stay at the inn; he had planned to escort Jin Yue'er back to the manor, then leave the city to seclude himself for several days, but Jin Yue'er forcibly kept him at the manor—since returning her last night, he had been meditating to stabilize his realm.

The next morning, news spread across the city like a flood; every major media outlet reported on Lin Jiamie's case.

He pulled on his black robe and left Mu Cheng's chamber without looking back, his face dark with anger.

Ning Jiayu, who had been thinking he would confront the two Lu brothers properly after going downstairs, froze mid-step the moment he stepped down, his head tilted in shock.

"I understand, Young Master, rest assured—I'll get it done!" Ruan Shi solemnly promised. She knew this was Du Guo Sheng's test of her.

Even if her parents in heaven wouldn't blame her, Liang Jinshang could never let love override everything else.

Qi Qiao saw Xin Yue had a plan, so she said no more, merely helping Xin Yue comb her hair, dress, and check her attire three or four times, fearing her mistress might wear something improper and invite trouble.
