Volume One, Chapter 28: She Must Like Him

The Pei Family.

As soon as Tony finished speaking, the researchers in the audience erupted into a frenzy. They had expected information only regarding the cosmos, never imagining such a monumental surprise. With this, the greatest obstacle to humanity’s entry into the universe would vanish.

Lin Dianxin took the greatest pride in his calligraphy. Upon hearing Luo Li praise his handwriting, his face instantly beamed with joy.

Ren Tianbai was stunned. He had come straight to Zen Master Huoshao upon returning from Wuchang Prefecture and had not even left the mountain in all these days. How could trouble have found him again?

Ren Tianbai could not help but call him an old fox in his heart. Li Ruzhu was truly slippery; he had said all those things just moments ago, only to brush himself clean in the blink of an eye by labeling it all as "mere rumors."

After Chen Ya ate a kiwi, the otter, which was busy gnawing on fish, became displeased and immediately let out a growl.

"Heh, you smashed the door beforehand precisely because you were afraid we might back out at the last minute, didn't you?" the nurse said with a hint of amusement.

Watching the ground ripple like the surface of water, Madame Gao and Alexandra, standing atop a building in Midtown Manhattan, saw their expressions turn solemn—a solemnity tinged with a strange calm, as if everything were already within their foresight.

In reality, very few Imperial Guards used this fortress to travel abroad; most of them headed to other nations from the Kingdom of Poland or the Tao and Li prefectures of the Huaxia Empire.

Ye Zhiqiu nodded, preparing to call the Celestial Master’s Mansion at Mount Longhu. The Celestial Master never carried a mobile phone; anyone wishing to reach him had to go through the Mansion first.

However, having been instructed by Xue Zhengyang, Duan Fei could now be considered to have obtained this technique through legitimate channels, allowing him to use it openly without being accused of having stolen the craft.

Ling Xiao tossed the hide bag in his hand to Ling Xiao; the spirit stone coins inside clinked with a pleasant sound. Yun Menglan also handed her own hide bag to Feng Mo. Together, the two of them held millions of spirit stone units.

Yet this proud man felt somewhat embarrassed now. Of course, this embarrassment was buried deep within his heart; the students all around did not find it awkward in the slightest.

"Perhaps I have a way to help you." Just as Zhou Yu, Qing Feng, and the others were about to enter Liubo City, a voice suddenly rang out.

Though he did not know what Xu Qi truly meant, Chi Yangzi did not hesitate. He composed his thoughts briefly and recalled the most powerful move he had ever witnessed.

Li Yunchen silently offered a prayer for the man named Pei Qing. He could not even fathom the current strength of the Demon Venerable; perhaps he had already stepped into the Purgatory Realm, and the Immortal Road would be nothing but a place for him to be beaten.

The army of Zhu Yu Town lost two thousand soldiers and ten thousand warhorses in a single night. This toll included not only those killed by the Soul-Chasing and Soul-Devouring blades but also those trampled to death by the horses.

The cultivators gazed into the distance, catching the scent of a fragrance—like a secluded orchid in an empty valley or a snow lotus from the Heavenly Mountains, carrying with it a bone-chilling cold.

"You all go ahead; I still have matters to attend to. Lu Guang, take Junior Brother Lin to his quarters; he will be staying next to you." Lu Yun produced a door plaque with the number A-53 inscribed upon it.

"Even if it isn't her, it must be inextricably linked to her!" Li Yunchen grew agitated, nearly revealing his aura.

After stowing away the Scroll of Mountains and Rivers, Xu Qi mobilized his physical form, transforming into a speck of red light before flying off into the distance.

Just then, his Great Governor Vessel throbbed with a rapid intensity. Seeing that he was on the verge of breaking through the acupoint, He Ying was overcome with great joy.
