Volume One, Chapter 67: Tea Talk and Tea Words—Who Isn't Skilled at This?

At this moment, Bai Zhiyao's little secrets were laid bare before Su Li, who saw through her entirely. She found it laughable. Did any of this really have meaning? Concubine Bai likely saw the truth of marriage through her own experience, which left her hopeful for this pair. The two of them were completely unaware that they were being followed. They made their way to the clan, and just as they reached the entrance, they encountered Bai Zhiyun.

"I was looking for—" Before the words were finished, Gu Nian saw a tall figure push open the gate and step out. He spoke sincere truths in plain language, then closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and regulated his breathing.

Because the heat was unbearable, Jiang Yu ambled along the road. When he finally arrived at the place the scholar described, marked by the ox-head sign, he felt relief.

Thus, in this plane, Cheng Xiao's task was to take on the identity of You Xiao and re-enter that world. She had to find the older brother from years ago and protect him, ensuring he lived safely to seventy.

Over the years, it was not the first time she had been in a long slumber. Neither her father nor the elders of the Shadow Order could resolve it.

She knew Yun Yixuan was doing it intentionally. Someone as wealthy as him could easily hire ten nannies and hourly workers, but he clearly wanted to trouble her.

In that instant, it seemed as if the world contained only the two of them. Their hearts were intertwined; they held hands, destined to accompany each other for life.

But what he hadn't expected was that the three servants had already betrayed him—they had long been bought by Lan Xinyou.

Those clerks in the city’s commercial halls, along with scattered merchants and their families, had never possessed the resolve to resist to the death. As soon as He Bin’s troops entered the city, they emerged from their hiding places and surrendered their weapons.

Suddenly, in a setting perfectly suited for a ghost story, an eerie voice echoed through the long corridor, chilling everyone who heard its lifeless tone.

"You there," a strange male voice, belonging to none among them, rang out unexpectedly.

Lu Yu kept calm in the face of danger, stepping forward with his right foot, shifting his body slightly along the opponent’s blade path. His long, elegant fingers moved as if plucking a lute, slowing the opponent’s attack. His right hand then rose, and the Hundred Sons Sword traced a graceful arc through the air, narrowly colliding with the Toad Blade.

"Damn it!" Kato Eagle exclaimed, hurriedly grabbing a nearby knife and viciously stabbing at the monk.

With this statement, all the emperors present were deeply shocked. The Holy Patriarch of Tianqin turned out to be the son of the Celestial God of Tianyun. The true founder of the Qin family was the Celestial God of Tianyun—this news was astonishing, utterly unexpected, and almost unbelievable.

"Luffy, you go and save Camie and the others first," Anke pointed at the struggling fish and star, then looked up at the flying fish above.

They took their natal divine treasures and ventured into the Thousand Worlds, seeking trouble with "Su Tongfang."

"Impressive," Zhang Jingwen gave him a thumbs-up. "I’ve invited a few friends too—Andrea Lawrence, Kelly Bonner, and England’s superstar Kate Vanessa has agreed to come."

"What am I thinking?" Ye Feng silently reproached himself. Liu Wanrou merely lowered her head and said nothing.

"Cut the nonsense. Follow my lead. The new tactics are for higher-ranked matches. In these low-tier games, you can’t even get a feel for it!" Shanghai Ma Chao said decisively.

After eating, Nightshade took his leave, and Yu Ning received a call from home, so the two left Fifth Silken’s house together.

"Sigh~ I have no idea what theories they've filled your head with! Unbeatable in the universe? With your power, there are at least ten in the cosmos who could defeat you!" Bardock said, somewhat annoyed.
