Chapter Thirty-Nine: Confession

When Ye Feng met Ouyang Junxi’s gaze just now, he noticed obvious dark circles beneath his eyes. Although Ouyang appeared full of energy, Ye Feng could sense that his vitality was almost completely drained. With a sympathetic look, Ye Feng glanced at Feixue, whose skin was as pale as snow, perfectly matching her name. “What a pity,” Ye Feng thought, surprised that people still used marijuana in this day and age. Just as he was about to leave, Jiang Chao came over...

But at this moment, Qin Chuan had no other choice. All he could do was hope that his body would withstand the blow.

The eyes are windows to the soul. With a single glance, the two seemed to see straight through each other's thoughts and emotions, though neither understood why.

Now, however, Lin Yan, right in front of him, was multitasking—splitting his mental energy into three streams at once. For a moment, he wondered if he was dreaming.

Steadying herself, she looked up at the man before her, estimating his height to be about six feet one. He was strikingly handsome, but there was an unmistakable coldness in his eyes that warned strangers to keep their distance.

Though rivals, it was impossible not to acknowledge Jiang Feng’s excellence. Any prejudice against him would only lead to disaster during the competition.

If Mo Ze lacked strength and could not defeat the orcs, nothing she said would matter, nor would she be of any use.

He truly had no time to worry about Qiu Ying and the others—he was so busy he barely had a moment to eat.

Among those she trusted, only Suxin could be relied upon; she could only ask her to keep an eye on the company.

Mu Xia glanced at the three remaining people: the familiar Lin Ran, the completely unfamiliar Mu Duo, and Chi Xi, whose mere presence made one’s knees weak.

But since the wager had been made in front of Tang Jing and Tang Panxia, it was no longer realistic to back out.

Under these circumstances, any further conflict would only worsen things, so Ouyang Yun could only choose to endure.

Mujiu’s quinque was aimed directly at Kaneki, but with his entire body enveloped in armor, it was impossible to read his expression.

Mu Jiusi blinked a few times, wracking her brain but unable to recall anything that required her attention.

“Who gave you permission to look at me with such disgusting eyes?” Bai Li Yanmo’s voice was icy, sending a chill through everyone below.

With that, Third Brother softly chanted an incantation, unlocked the black iron cage, and strode to stand before Yan Shuang. Zhilan and I followed, halting behind him.

Upon waking again, the moon outside was shrouded in mist—it was deep into the night. Lying on a bed in Qianshan’s residence, his shoulder wound had been tended and bandaged by Qianshan himself, yet the searing pain remained undiminished. When he tried to rise, the wound pulled painfully, and a muffled groan escaped his lips.

“Thank you all for your efforts. I will eradicate the guilty, so rest in peace,” You Mu said, continuing forward as if their deaths had left his heart untouched.

“Is Yaoyao truly so heartless?” A hint of hurt flashed through Bai Li Yanmo’s eyes, and his voice grew softer.

Everyone present held significant power in the Kingdom of Cangfeng, yet even so, the news stunned them pale, cold sweat breaking out as despair took root in their hearts. All eyes turned to Cang Yue.

“Yueyue, I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning and take you to see your new courtyard,” Zhai Feibai whispered in Chu Yue’s ear as he hugged her, then departed.

So Sakurada Sakura thought of Yu Mofan’s parents! And by chance, Yu Ziyou let something slip. While out wandering, he was discovered by Sakurada Sakura, who, after tailing him, finally confirmed the hiding place of Yu Mofan’s family.

At first, Consort Qi could hardly believe her ears at the Empress Dowager Nanqing’s words.

Sitting at the table, Xiu Qiqi leafed through the freshman handbook. Though she knew most of it was filled with clichés, after the sudden and unexpected audit process, she felt she ought to be more cautious—who knew what might be lurking in the corners?
