Chapter 114: Moving House
Xu Yanchen moved in a rush, carrying no luggage; besides his identification papers, he had only a phone on him.
By the time he reached Linlu’s dormitory, it was already near midnight.
Lisa had cried in the living room all night; when she heard the knocking, she thought David had come back looking for her.
With swollen, puffy eyes like bruised walnuts, she opened the door.
“David...”
Gu Qingci thought it over. He still could not understand why the Li family had willingly stepped in, but he could guess that, in the end, the Cheng family had offered benefits the Lis could not refuse.
Hand in hand, the two went into the café and, guided by the waiter, sat at a window seat where the light was good.
“Ha, come on—pay and let Father give you a hug!” Fuqianguan said, then reached out and moved to hug Mo Li.
Raner had not even finished her words when she suddenly froze, staring in shock at Gu Qingci by the window, then looking in confusion at Qingyi with a face full of panic.
He suddenly remembered something, then realized the two had just met and the hour was already late, and since it was no good time to ask questions, he dropped it.
“Whether you come back or not—none of my business. I’ve already told you. Stop shouting. When I marry, it will be to someone else; that isn’t your concern!” As soon as she said this, Liuluo Yue sat down right away.
Suddenly, that dead wild goose rose again, flying in a smooth arc across the sky and dropping in front of the horseman, and the blood that had only just begun to clot was flung out again.
“Qianyin, the bottle I sealed inside the chest—don’t touch it for the next few days. I’ll need it,” Su Lian said with a smile, advising Luo Qianyin.
At times, when the Emperor gazed at the empty Cining Palace, he entrusted all his longing for the late Empress to the Old Empress Dowager.
After innumerable deaths, endless Poison-Soul Masters, Dharma-Soul Masters, and Martial-Soul Masters kept collapsing to the ground, and still they kept charging forward in their thousands. Bones piled up like mountains, blood flowed everywhere, and the sky above was likewise packed with black clouds.
“Tenfold?” Congyi looked surprised, then quickly understood it. Perhaps, like the Xuanjing Celestial Ruler, a six-star laser sword works better the higher the user’s cultivation. Wait! Xuanjing Celestial Ruler—I can’t believe I forgot this!
“In this matter of true justice and injustice, we should set aside private feelings. A great war is near; the Hundred-Year Oath can vanish in a blink. In a moment, the reign-term of the Celestial Monarch is near, with troubles within and without—my human race is in peril!” Yuqing Primordial Celestial Lord said, his tone grave.
“It is his insight, his heart for all creatures. The Sovereign of Heaven and Earth is no hollow title,” the Celestial Monarch said with a laugh.
Congyi kicked the old pontiff aside with one foot. “You and I are old friends. I don’t want to trouble you. Move away—I came looking for him!” He pointed to the past version of himself standing beside the old pontiff.
For no clear reason, ever since the Lianyun Mountain North-South Martial Circles Assembly had been held, Lotus Palace Master Xiao Jinghong had felt to Cheng Yitian an indescribable closeness he could not define.
Everyone looked at each other, everyone staring back, each overwhelmed and speechless, unable for a moment to accept what was happening before their eyes.
As Congyi’s words fell, the Death Field again erupted with icy crystals, each one radiating extreme cold and darting rapidly toward the sparks.
“No, Your Highness. I’ll just take whatever is served; I dare not ask for too much,” Moyan said shyly.
The Hawk King sneered. “Of course I’m quite fine too.” He hummed softly, then after a moment said, “It’s been so long—who knows if your martial arts have improved again?” He waved his hand lightly, and the Black Wind Thirty-Six Riders all left their horses.
Nan Gongxue trembled again, nearly crying out “No!”
Yet she also knew that if she showed too much warmth toward the Huashan Sect, Jiang Liechen would surely become suspicious, and then this whole act would be hard to carry on.
