Chapter 142: Gu Bin’s Scheme Reveals True Intentions

"It seems I guessed right."
Wu Meng's eyes lit up with gossip.
"The two of them aren't dating..."
Not wanting Wu Meng to let her imagination run wild and bring trouble to her cousin, Lin Xiyu warned, "You must not tell anyone about this, including your mom. Don't say a word."
"Fine."
The flame of gossip that had just been ignited in Wu Meng was ruthlessly extinguished.
"You should go home first."
Lin Xiyu was feeling too upset to talk. "Let's chat another day."
Even if he could kill ten or a hundred people, he couldn't kill everyone in the end... Was he supposed to send her back to the Heavenly Martial King?
"Executing three spatial dives in a row really consumes a lot of energy." Ye Lengxin clutched his head and squatted down. The consecutive calculations for the three spatial gates left him feeling somewhat dizzy, and his psychic energy was nearly depleted.
"There are no shattered world rules upon him," Yu Jin said. The absence of shattered world rules meant that Chris's protagonist status had been superseded, not by external intervention, but through the natural selection of this world.

Everything was extremely quiet now, save for the occasional birdcall and Zheng Fan's steady breathing.
The Yapool standing before them possessed a soul power that rivaled the strength of Li Yubin's primordial spirit before attaining immortality.
As for Lyle, that deadweight who kept getting in the way of her hunting for men, he would definitely have to be dealt with, though it would have to wait until the end of the semester.
Zheng Fan turned back to ask: for a faction that could occupy an entire office building, they had ten guards just at the entrance. In his opinion, they should at least have had an Awakened One on gate-duty.
When he checked the other's status again, he stopped talking, quietly popping painkillers to max out his condition, and clutched his assault rifle to keep watch on the surroundings alongside the Doctor.
However, the Five Heroes of Salvation would not easily fade into a "forgotten tale," because the last of the Five Heroes was an elf, and living for a thousand years was nothing to them.
Traveling by night and day under the stars, they finally reached their destination—that legendary place where tossing a brick on the street would casually hit a seventh-rank official.
As for Uncle Pang Qian, who ran an inn with the bizarre name "Circle and Cross," he was simply overlooked. You could say it was a case of snobbery, and you wouldn't be wrong.
This stronghold was unlike the gloomy and secluded one where he had just met Lu Zhu; it was just an ordinary courtyard.
It is no exaggeration to say that the people currently surrounding Gu Xiao—Lian Niangshang, Mu Renqing, Taoist Wusong, and Wang Jiayin and his son—were all top-tier experts. Of course, Wang Zhaoxi inevitably appeared a bit weaker, but compared to the other two black-clad men who were purely there to make up the numbers, he was still vastly superior.
I told Zheng Jun and the others not to move yet. The three of them looked back at me, immediately chuckled, and then retreated to the side with tacit understanding.

Although he wasn't heavily injured, it still breached his defensive barrier—one he had believed was capable of going anywhere under heaven and shrugging off most forms of damage.
Tongtong blinked her big eyes, seemingly pondering whether what this older boy said was correct.
However, Mary only knew that the NESTS branch was somewhere near Suzhou; she did not know its exact location.
The fourth period of the morning for Class Five was, as usual, a self-study session. Su Ke gave a few brief instructions before leaving the classroom. She had no desire to loom over Class Five like a warden twenty-four hours a day; she had already said everything that needed to be said. If the students lacked self-discipline, there was truly nothing she could do, and she could only rely on the passage of time to gradually shape their characters.
*Su Ke.* They silently repeated the name in their hearts—some with joy, some with jealousy, some with indifference, some with resentment, and some with cold detachment. Regardless of the emotions they harbored, it was undeniable that the name Su Ke had etched a deep mark upon their hearts.
At least, when it came to ordinary medicinal pills, the vast majority were nothing more than a conglomeration of medicinal dregs. To be honest, that sort of trash was something he had seen far too many times.
"Of course we're weeding!" Liu Xuan spat out the withered twig in his mouth, drawing his twin blades in a flash. Accompanied by the shrieks of skeletons, two crescent blade auras slashed horizontally across the air.
