Chapter 96: The Wise Man's Unexpected Joy

Wu Wang asked Number Five to recount the events that had occurred previously.

But the other party merely shook her head slightly.

Indicating that she could not do it.

"Miss Mary's consciousness forbids me from revealing all matters to you. She said—"

"This is a rule; it cannot be changed."

The only things Number Five could reveal were the partial tasks she had been instructed to perform, such as the matter just now.

In this situation, Wu Wang did not mind.

For him

Beneath several five-needle pines ahead, two rows of benches were set up for travelers to rest and stay; Bai Lingge unloaded her bundle, her enthusiasm undiminished. She began to raise her hand to pick five-needle pine seeds; for her, this was a delicacy long missed.

Strangely, my strength had not increased at all. Apart from my body becoming somewhat stiffer, my supernatural abilities had not improved in the slightest, which made me wonder.

Actually, Chu Lian had no other intention in doing these things. She simply felt that every time she visited the Prince of Wei's Wang Fu, the Wang Fei of Wei would bestow gifts upon her. Even though the Wang Fei was an elder, it was improper for her to keep accepting without reciprocating. She had always wanted to offer a return gift; bringing out this set of head ornaments today was already late.

Later, she was innocently dragged into Prince Morning Star's farce, nearly losing her life. Upon returning, she stayed in the Moon Old Man's teaching room and was almost never seen going out... This should count as being well-behaved!

"It hurts, it hurts! Alas, the pain is so great I even wish to die." The old man replied with a look of deep sorrow.

"I see. Then you understand her stance. What did she ask you to do?" Mu Ai asked Black Lingge from the side.

Chu Lian saw all this but said nothing. These consequences were brewed by Chu Yuan himself; who could be blamed? Besides, it was merely that he did not eat the food from Gui Lin Ju; it hardly counted as a punishment.

You must know that the gale wind is wind transformed from supernatural abilities. If an ordinary person encountered it and was merely brushed by it, they would die instantly, yet I have been swept by it for over ten minutes.

The previous black qi cloud was one of Du Baotian's signature techniques, called 'Necrotic Black Wind Bullet'. I had been worried for Shi Quan and the other, but seeing Li Xiaoshang's intervention, my heart eased considerably. These two children had too many inexplicable aspects; we must strive to secure them for our side.

"And your injuries are not light either. Let me help you treat them first." As a fellow member of the Medical Gate, Li Feng's medical skills naturally could not be too low, but seeing his dire condition, he could not help but show concern.

Especially with the closest person; it seemed my childhood was gone, the benchmark witnessing my growth in childhood had fallen, leaving me alone. This feeling was truly unbearable.

"Uh?" Hearing the teacher's words, Han Fengxue gave a bitter smile. She seemed a bit anxious, having even forgotten such an important matter. There was still a ninth-rank expert there, constantly eyeing her.

During this period, Zhuge Buliang also absorbed most of the spiritual essence from the magical treasures looted from Qingxiao Sect. Zhuge Buliang found that the further along he went, the more difficult the purple transformation of these seven divine acupoints became.

After the fist shadows passed, both Jiang Nan and the old man who had suddenly attacked retreated several steps. However, compared to Jiang Nan, the old man was clearly at a disadvantage, with traces of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

It seems that the cultivator experts in this Holy Domain are not only formidable in their own cultivation but also extremely mature in politics. Thinking about it, politicians on Earth are merely in their dozens of years, while here, any cultivator has lived for thousands of years; how could their state of mind be compared to that of mortals?

This is the safest method, also the best way to preserve strength. As for whether it counts as fleeing, it can be considered a form of fleeing as well.

Zhong Jinwei's words made Emperor Chongzhen split his mouth in joy, laughing silently. It was as if he already saw Jiaozhi returning to the embrace of Great Ming, and then Great Ming, using Jiaozhi as a base, continuously dispatching vast armies to Southeast Asia.
