Chapter 60 - Chapter 60

Before she could finish speaking, the color drained from everyone's faces in the hall: Could it be... that Ji Yuan's escape and Lady Yue's abduction were all due to Li Ji's jealousy? Wang Wan blushed again, this time with embarrassment. Although she knew his intentions, it was the first time he had spoken so bluntly. "Jun'er..." Lady Zhang whispered a warning, clearly noticing Yang Shi's displeasure. It had been over two months since Xia Weixing's family disappeared without returning, let alone humbly kneeling at the door to repent—no doubt causing Yang Shi great surprise and frustration. Yang Guo and the cheerleading squad members shouted slogans, jumping and dancing, creating another vibrant scene. The butler fled in panic with Han Fei, while Tie Rou didn't pursue, standing arrogantly with her unsheathed sword, her demeanor proud and her aura imposing. When Mu Yingchen arrived, Xiao Zitian had already left. He understood her unspoken wish to avoid any entanglement with him. She hadn't used a prepared speech, yet her logic was clear and her words sincere, expressing a former official's deep affection for his alma mater while encouraging everyone to strive for success. At that moment, even Xia Luo felt a pang of reluctance to continue his harsh criticism. If the flower demon weren't hiding under the ceiling, he might not have been able to spot it at all. A large hand reached out to undo her bindings, and Xiao Zitian's eyes widened in realization of his intentions. Over the years, Xiao Shiqing had protected her too well; she had never faced real danger and didn't even know what fear was. Of course, Tuan Zang's goal wasn't to become the Hokage himself but to make Shimura Yang the Hokage. Everyone online who opened the post saw the most eye-catching reply at the same time, silencing the previous heated arguments. The forum's previous highest price was 6,000 yuan, but this record was shattered in an instant. She liked Yang Jingchen because he was truly a part of her life, always catering to her preferences. After all, divine power and divine cores were just appendages of the world spirit, troublesome to maintain. In Bai He's view, losing them wasn't a loss—gaining tangible power was what mattered. The root of Konoha's problems lay in its overly powerful clan system, an issue left over from its founding that was difficult to resolve. Today, Shen Mengyao had a jewelry commercial shoot scheduled, so after breakfast, the group headed straight to the filming location. Yan Yuning was the same, and Qiu Zhuchen was even less accomplished—she hadn't even mastered her sect's Xuanming-level sword technique. Even with the base's strategic retreat, it was of no help; spells could only hide the main nest, while the upper layer's cold iron ore couldn't be concealed, with scouts frequently patrolling the area. The mage tower's records were among them, but Bai He was puzzled after reading—they were detailed yet omitted many things, such as the(top floor)'s setup. "Old Wang, time is of the essence. With the president's whereabouts unknown, if something happens to him, we'll be utterly at fault," Feng Guozhang said urgently. Whether Natalie had shared her experiences in the Demon Realm with Leit was unclear, but Natalie wasn't foolish—she knew what to say and what to keep secret. From Leit's demeanor, there was no sign of anything amiss. After several rounds of drinking, only Sun Yuanqi continued to drink, having reached(78) parts drunk. Now only one person sat on the three meditation cushions to his left: Zhu Yufeng, the second elder of the Zhu family, a mid-stage peak spiritual master and a second-tier artifact craftsman, second only to the great elder Zhu Danyang in power. "General, would you consider visiting Xuzhou? After the alliance troops left, Lord Tao has spoken highly of you. Since you're here, why not pay him a visit?" Mi Zhu asked straightforwardly, and it was true—Tao Qian had indeed been full of praise for Liu Yu since returning to Xuzhou. Looking into her calm, water-like eyes, Xiao Hua couldn't help but feel a sense of tranquility. Her orange lips were as lustrous as petals. A few breaths after the two disappeared, an old man in a purple robe arrived, only to leave upon finding no one there. Unbeknownst to him, Jian Xi was pondering another question at the dinner table: Could she lure Luo Mincheng and Liu Ya out again within a month? "Alright, since everyone agrees, let's open the spatial portal together and investigate," the old man with the clan token said, injecting spiritual energy into it, causing it to glow. After leaving the Bone-Burying Forbidden Land, she ate the fruit she had found at the cliffside, and her cultivation level soared. Even without practicing, she would automatically advance.
