Chapter 53: Ning Yunyan's Cousin, Reunion with an Old Acquaintance
Without knowing it, Yun Xiaoxiao's love rival was eliminated.
By the time she learned about this, everything had already settled, and even the online buzz was beginning to fade away.
Yun Xiaoxiao felt truly grateful to Su Zhihan. At best, they were only acquaintances who nodded at each other in passing, and she had previously suspected that Su Zhihan harbored ulterior motives.
Looking at it now, she realized how petty she had been. What a wonderful person Su Zhihan was, to quietly solve her problem behind the scenes.
"These spirit possessions in the school must be a joke! The top-tier rare beasts are pretty much the same as those in the great families, except that there is a greater variety here," muttered Lu Qi.
Suddenly, the hull of the boat gave a slight tremor and listed to one side. Lin Chengxi quickly steadied himself at the bow, then turned his head to look—the fusion wings were already struggling powerlessly and could no longer flap.
This sight filled Li Keji with utter consternation. He had long since refined this sword into a wisp of breath, concealing it within his body so that it was indistinguishable from inner energy. That Xiao Yiming could expel this breath from his body was already far beyond his expectations; to have it sent right back to him unaltered—he could not help but be shocked.
However, for her present self, as long as she did not encounter a powerhouse at the sixth stage of the Shattering Realm, she had absolute confidence in winning. This was her self-assurance in her own strength.
Yet they only saw Xu Chu weeping beside his personal guards. Guan Yu hurriedly asked him what had happened, but Xu Chu refused to say, leaving Guan Yu with no choice but to bring Xu Chu to Liu Bei's camp first.
For a moment, they were blocked right there in front, leaving them utterly helpless. Yet there was not a single thing they could do about it; they could only stand and stare, completely powerless. This left them utterly astounded.
Jie Kelit had defeated two opponents in succession and was brimming with complacency. Seeing a half-grown youth leap out now, he couldn't help feeling a sense of contempt. However, upon seeing the posture with which Qin Shubao held his spear, he involuntarily shuddered in shock.
Fang Yun nodded and said, "It seems this is the only way. Let's go, let's head back first." With that, he took the lead and walked away. Qingmingzi glanced back at the bamboo grove, shook his head, and followed after him.
At this moment, Tayier wore a bitter smile as he looked at what was before him, never having expected such a turn of events. The outcome before his eyes was entirely beyond his imagination.
"Ah, brother, what is the meaning of this? You are going to compromise Xue Li's dignity," Xue Rengui also hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhou Qing up.
I urge my beloved not to love the wild geese on the sandy islet; a single pole startles them, sounding their cries as they scatter in flight. Though sudden and violent winds and waves may arise, my heart shall never change.
The height of the airship's envelope far exceeded the rooftops. Liunian quietly climbed onto the roof and activated the camouflage function of her armor. Then, taking advantage of the staff's inattention, she leaped onto the airship's envelope, and her armor instantly shifted to match its color.
What brought peace of mind to Ling Feng was that, although the peak martial saints of this world were comparable to peak core-formation masters, their actual methods were far inferior—at the very least, they could not fly on swords, making it quite difficult for them to track him down.
"Mufan, I will definitely make you crawl out of Saint Mark Academy!" Liu Yiyi muttered hatefully to herself, her aversion to Mufan having reached an unprecedented level.
"What? You are Han Dongjun's maternal cousin, so why are you acting as his servant?" Ren Youlan asked seriously.
Seeing that the kidnappers and the fierce tiger had run far away, Jiang Yi and Zong Ri no longer needed to keep up the act. They directly untied their ropes and went to help Xie Kun cut his.
That was precisely why she turned a blind eye to Song Shuyang's every move—it was simply Song Shuyang who refused to accept it in his own heart.
Surely not? People finding each other a good match could be quite terrifying; could it be some kind of bloodline filter that made him think things wouldn't go that far?
He did not trust the people here, not even Uncle Li. Having lived two lifetimes, he understood human nature better than anyone else. Besides, he was merely a newly entered disciple; what ties did he have with them? Senior affection? What on earth was he imagining?
Lying on the bed, Su Linwan pondered Mother Lin's words, her heart torn over whether or not to apologize to Lu Yu'an.
