Chapter 172: Do Not Act Like the Ignorant Masses

On the table were fresh fruits and vegetables, several stacks of flatbread, and a whole lamb just roasted until it sizzled, filling the air with fragrance.

Across the entire Northern Frontier, this was already a rare and lavish feast.

To gather this entire spread, Chen Ye had truly exerted great effort. The vast city of Fengdu currently had barely over a hundred residents.

The roasted whole lamb was not too hard to come by—the Northern Frontier grasslands never lacked sheep.

The real difficulty lay in the fruits and vegetables; finding fresh produce in the Northern Frontier was no ordinary challenge.

Qin Chuan pushed away Li Zhiyu: "I thought you were going to say something important. But what law says you can't date before twenty?" Then he left.

"Understood, then I won't hold back." Mo Shi's lips curled into a smile; using someone else's money to show off was far more satisfying than using his own—he could name any price without blinking, since the heavy cost wouldn't be his.

Not long after entering the courtyard, a wave of overlapping sobs instantly revealed the truth to him.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked much thinner than last month; her eyes no longer sparkled with laughter, but were filled with melancholy.

Leonard's fingers lightly tapped the table. Long before the medical college's expansion into a full academy, Leonard and Xani's initial plan had been to conduct appropriate screening based on the Osfert system, ideally prioritizing medicine and pure sciences.

Chu Zihang pulled out his phone; as the man had said, not a single bar of signal— the radio's music had long stopped, leaving only harsh static, and even GPS could not detect any satellite signals.

She silently recited the incantation, clenching her fingers lightly—and indeed, before long, scenes from the past appeared vividly in her mind.

Both old men froze, their gazes simultaneously falling on Jian Tianya, scrutinizing the energy within his body.

Moreover, such items were exceedingly precious to the Xi family; they could easily sell them at high prices and had no reason to give them to him.

According to protocol, Zhong Shuaishuai, a Level-3 patient, should have been gradually downgraded to Level-1, observed and treated for a month, stabilized, then sent for detailed examination—this Demon-Slaying Heavenly Master had simply grown increasingly adept at leveraging his rich-heir status.

Zhou Hongbao was, after all, the factory director; in such settings, he still needed to mind his image and avoid gossip.

"Sss—this is the Thunder-Calling Art?" Du Deyue involuntarily drew in a sharp breath; from his vantage point, he saw more clearly—he had once heard of this kind of Daoist divine art from that Daoist priest.

Even with her high emotional intelligence, Tang Yurou could no longer remain calm; she pressed one hand to her chest as she sat down.

Sima Chaofeng licked his lips with a cruel gaze, summoned a gleaming, icy sword, and strode toward Liu Quanfu, radiating murderous intent.

Xia Yi adjusted his breathing; as he briefly analyzed the situation, he realized his clothes had been changed and his body washed—just as he prepared to rise, footsteps sounded outside.

Chen Yuan pulled her close, retracted his outwardly released inner energy, and descended gracefully like a celestial immortal, landing softly atop a high-rise rooftop.

The floating light form hovered in midair, its gaze fixed on Xia Yi, slowly lowering slightly before suddenly sweeping its hand through the air—pale white light instantly illuminated the entire scene, clearly revealing the surrounding chaos and the scattered, panicked figures of the Commuter Bureau and CIA team over there.

"I—" Lu Cheng tried to say more, but time was up; security guards arrived and forcibly dragged him away.

Trede, both shocked and alarmed, apologized profusely; upon learning that the State Advisor had returned overnight to Grey Pigeon for Young Master Sangruo, Trede was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to fetch Young Master Sangruo.

For a moment, all the Celestial List martial artists were stunned: had Master Shentu really just died?
