Lu Yalan had previously been so busy that her feet scarcely touched the ground. Now that she had suddenly found herself with nothing to do, she felt somewhat lost. She was wondering whether she should bring up the matter of returning to work with the old lady again when a maid from Benevolence Hall came to ask her to go there.

The old lady had summoned Lu Yalan to show her a telegram from Lu Shibang.

Lu Yalan took the telegram and quickly scanned it. It began by assuring them of their safety, saying that they had arrived safely in Shanghai. What followed, however, took Lu Yalan completely by surprise.

Lu Shibang had actually invited her to Shanghai!

The wording was exceedingly polite and courteous, which made Lu Yalan raise an eyebrow.

After she finished reading, the old lady asked, “What do you think? Do you want to go?”

During this period, the old lady had come to understand her quite well. Lu Yalan was stubborn—

“No matter how much my foot hurts, it can never compare to the pain in my heart. And what difference does the pain make? No one cares about me anyway.” Zhou Xiaoyu raised a hand and gently touched her exquisite, flawless nose. Then two clear tears once again slid down her cheeks.

For a while, the students began criticizing Uncle Wang all at once. After all, he had just boasted so outrageously about Number Thirteen—what was wrong with him now? Had he really been playing all of them for fools?

The ancestors of the four great sects fell silent, but the disciples of the Five Poisons Sect were now just as astonished as those ancestors had been moments earlier.

The good news was that Xia Yang might not have to deal with the monsters in the water or the searing flames this time. The stone wall blocking the way had already been shattered. Beyond it might be a smooth, unobstructed road leading straight to their destination.

You’re using Seventh Lord to pressure me again?! Would someone worth over ten billion even be worthy of Seventh Lord’s attention?

“The Spirit-Storing Cosmos Belly is just like its name suggests. It contains an entire universe within the belly, and even a spirit pool can fit inside. What’s more, it won’t stretch the belly at all!” Yang Liefeng said, his starry eyes gleaming with amusement.

Before long, she emerged from the leader’s office. The displeasure on her face had vanished, replaced by a look of deep gravity.

For this patient, acupuncture was clearly a good approach. But if they wanted immediate results, they would have to resort to rather extreme measures.

“Then we’ll have to use force to make you submit—to leave you no choice but to follow our arrangements and operate on Princess Ivanka.”

“You cured my father. Even if I gave you the hotel, it would be nothing. From now on, Sea-and-Sky Hotel belongs to you!” Li Mei declared boldly.

Actually, Engagement-Breakup Guy, do you know that before this, whether she went to bars or slipped out in the middle of the night to drink with her friends—

She had assumed it was because she refused to give herself to Sun Zhengyu, making him impatient and prompting him to seek someone new.

“I invested in a project at her father’s company. Not long ago, the company was mismanaged and went bankrupt, and my entire investment was wiped out. She’s come to beg me several times. Seeing how pitiful she is has even made me feel cruel.” That was not how a businessman should behave.

If you want to solve the problem once and for all, you’ll have to find a master of the Complete Reality tradition who excels at inner-alchemy cultivation and have him infuse you with vital energy—or wait until I raise the purity of my pure-yang heart-energy by another level.

Unfortunately, they were not qualified to enter the mountains and watch. Fully armed Wolf Fang soldiers had stopped them at the foot of the mountain.

Zhuge Buyi had also returned. He had brought Dong Zhen back from the edge of the Monkey Forest, where she had gone to admire the scenery, and Mu Hua had returned to Guangzhou as well.

After getting up, Zhou Yi and Wang Yang were on their way to the cafeteria for breakfast when they ran into Li Momo, Xu Moyi, Wang Tongyu, and the others.

If he did not notify everyone involved, things might very well turn into a scene where he was performing happily, only to be handcuffed and carried away by his own teammates.

“You said not long ago that you were getting married, and now, in the blink of an eye, you’ve given me such a huge surprise. How far along are you two? When are you holding the wedding?” Zhou Yue teased.

After reading the information Ji Xin had sent him, he had also carefully investigated the gaunt, elongated ghostly figure.

Autumn had arrived. The red leaves of countless trees grew more vivid as the season deepened, and from a distance they looked like flames rolling across the land.
