She felt she was talking to an adult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the purity of the source energy here had matched or even surpassed that of the heat wave’s source energy; for cultivation, this place was more than sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why is the Weird Aunt here again?” Meng Zhicheng strode over, looking down at Zeng Guiyi with condescension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t need to greet me like this,” the model said helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was her, standing before the church, drenched in rain, pleading for Gu Tingchen not to leave—so fragile, so heartrending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tugged his sleeve; he rolled onto his side beside me, his fingers lightly tracing my smooth cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Mu dodged Liu Erdong, got out of bed, opened her suitcase, and began rummaging through her clothes and daily essentials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wanning put it away and stepped out—then someone crept in stealthily, and before they even touched anything, they were caught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This “Cao” character rune was unlike any before: at first glance, the rune’s inner world held only rain and dew, with no trace of other energies—its upright, unyielding nature resembled a judge of the mortal realm, wielding a sword to execute justice, severing evil and purging all dark thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted her gaze and saw Feiyu standing a zhang away, advancing step by step, his Yaomei  face curled in a hauntingly alluring smile, yet his eyes radiated a bone-chilling chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words Bai Huo had spoken at the Prince’s gate led him to believe Nan Gong Lie wanted him to explain something to Gu Rui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All ancient martial cultivators knew that one must not be disturbed during a breakthrough; everyone quietly withdrew, forming a circle roughly five meters in radius around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, a clear, piercing three-note high pitch exploded across the stage like a meteor streaking through the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the release of college entrance exam scores to the end of university applications, those five days left countless parents and students utterly frazzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuer Er  waved gently—the table and chairs in the private room nearly overturned from the sword qi; the others rushed forward to shield the computer monitors from falling, and Lin Xuer Er  quickly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the host thought the commentary segment was over, Feng Yueqiu suddenly picked up the microphone and signaled to the host.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Fei leaned close to Huo Jingtian’s ear and whispered a few words; Huo Jingtian’s mouth dropped open in shock as he stared incredulously at Gu Hao, who suddenly felt a strange wave of dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It probably wasn’t Zi Luo Xian—he had no reason to lie.
