Volume 1, Chapter 22: Beg Me, and Let Me Keep You for Three More Years

Fu Beichen’s imposing figure strode directly inside.

The apartment’s design was simple, with minimalist furniture, yet the addition of purple accents gave it a soft, almost... cozy feel. It was a stark contrast to his cold, austere villa.

Xiao Ru’er, in particular, had been filled with intense admiration ever since she learned that Xiao Yunfei had kicked Bai Chenhao away, resolving the Xiao family’s crisis. She followed Xiao Yunfei everywhere, constantly questioning him about his years overseas and what exactly had granted him such immense power.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the conference hall shifted slightly, and almost everyone’s gaze converged upon Li Sen.

Yuan Ming did not even spare him a glance. After tossing a casual reprimand his way, he turned and strode toward the city, leading Li Sen along without looking back.

Li Sen, who had remained as calm as still water, finally showed a spark of interest, his eyes locked onto Wei Rulong.

Abiya immediately gave a detailed account of how Mo Xueyan had left and the reasons behind her departure. Li Jiang’s heart sank to the very bottom.

"Heh, I am of the Daoist lineage, Supreme Xuanwu, Ruhuan. Heh, you people of the Demonic Path are truly bold, daring to come to the Bloodthirsty Battlefield so brazenly. Do you really think there is no one left in the Daoist and Buddhist sects?" the black-robed youth, Ruhuan, sneered coldly.

Wen Wugui led Yang Yunhan and Zhao Pokong on a search across the mountain, periodically using his unique iron pestle to probe the rock faces. After repeating this process many times, they finally arrived at a specific cliff wall.

The leaders of the seven major sects all concurred, and the matter of the Hengshan Sword Discourse was settled. Master Guyue of the Kunlun Sect had his disciples draw ten circles before the Treasure of the Shang King, and each of the seven sect leaders appointed one member of their sect to sit within one of the circles.

I knew clearly in my heart that Mengyao loved and adored me, and I could feel it just as plainly.

Previously, I had held the idea of keeping things balanced; since I didn’t know whose side to choose, I simply chose to go nowhere at all.

"Actually, we didn't do anything; strictly speaking, Hasar took his own life," Tang Sancheng said honestly.

I put away my phone but did not call back immediately. Instead, I began to pack my things in the room.

"I don't know, I'm not sure. I'm following him precisely to find out." There was a look of anticipation on Xiao Ning’s face, vaguely tinged with excitement. Amidst the layers of doubt, another veil of mystery had been added. Where exactly did the truth lie?

"Why wouldn't I dare? I’ve long found this Li Kang displeasing. Brother, just tell me what you want me to do," the village youth said.

Zhan Qingqing took the wine pot from her father’s hands and skipped happily toward Lin Mubai. Zhilan keenly noticed that although her father’s face wore a smile, it was tinged with a hint of tension and stiffness, which she found rather strange.

Yexue stared closely and saw that the area of the five-meter-wide circle was a full inch lower than the surrounding grass.

Breaking through Grand Preceptor Wen’s domain was difficult, but with the precedent set by the Grand Preceptor, she managed to hold on.

"Hmph, such an attack is nothing more than a tickle to me!" The Golden Cloud Immortal of the Great Heavens leaped up instantly, completely unharmed.

Originally, each screen had been broadcasting the situation from four different arenas simultaneously, but at this moment, they were all focused on the battle between Thunder and Dragon Walk. Many of the fans in the venue were supporters of various clubs, and seeing such an astonishing reversal between Dragon Walk and Thunder, the entire stadium was nearly drowned out by the roar of discussion.

"I don't know." This time, Chu Xiong replied with only three words and said nothing more. Having not heard the name she expected, a slight sense of disappointment stirred in Shangguan Wenfei’s heart.
