Chapter 36: The Imperial Examination Venue

“Although they did not openly retaliate against the Su family, they have begun to openly take revenge on your father,” Su Yan said.

“I understand. Don’t worry; once I finish handling things over there, I’ll come right away!” Lin Xi said, nodding apologetically at Zhao Yi as he spoke.

Many clan gods were pleased to hear this. They originally lacked the strength to compete for the position of clan god but feared that the seat might be seized by some unruly tribe, which would lead to favoritism and chaos, making their future unbearable.

However, at the very moment Li Zhi appeared in a flash, a fierce blaze suddenly burst forth from the one-eyed Fire Giant’s eye, instantly enveloping Li Zhi in searing flames.

“Okay! Done,” Nicholas said, having already intercepted the data from the camera feed and replaced it with his own fabricated information for the surveillance system.

Another person lying on the bed suddenly opened their eyes, a sly gleam flashing across them before they smiled with satisfaction and drifted back to sleep.

When leaving the market, Li Qinguo followed behind. Zhao Hui glanced at him and softly called, “Li Qinguo.” He seemed not to hear. Zhao Hui called again, and he finally looked over and slowed down.

“Speak. What do you want to do?” The two knights no longer had any will of their own, only thinking of how many monsters they could take down before dying.

I opened my eyes slightly, staring in disbelief at his equally soaked face and hair, my heart skipping a beat.

All the chaotic warriors quickly dispersed within seconds, and the surrounding shouts rose into a clamorous uproar. Heaven knows what they had encountered, but for the survivors hiding in the ventilation shaft, it was undoubtedly good news.

What Ye Xiao didn’t realize was that his careless jokes had actually earned a few points of goodwill in Ye Muxi’s heart. Had he known, Ye Xiao swore he would have bitten his tongue before speaking.

Ye Xiao touched the flesh at his waist, still feeling a faint pain, and sighed softly as he stepped out of the room.

Knowing his own mother, if something happened to her son, she would definitely investigate to the root of it.

This was a rare occurrence; even the most elite of the Wolf Fang Special Forces were seldom praised this highly by Fan Tianlei.

“Mr. Qin, this Starry Sky watch is completely different from an ordinary starry sky watch. The starry sky isn’t just a thin dial printed with stars, lifeless and dull. It uses three layers of dials: the bottom layer is a lunar phase dial, the middle is a deep blue dial, and the top is a sapphire dial painted with countless stars.

“It’s pretty cool, and the price matches that—over two hundred thousand when I bought it, purely handcrafted, studded with diamonds.”

Ye Xiao instinctively reached to push open the inner door of the main hall. Just as the thought flashed, the door suddenly burst open with a loud bang.

“Annihilation style,” Jiang Yuan thought. He wouldn’t allow Mo Feng to break through his three-meter domain. If Mo Feng did, it would be disastrous. He couldn’t draw out the Demon Blade in front of Mo Feng now, or trouble would ensue.

“Well then, I’m in for a treat today,” Cheng Hao smiled and then went to his kitchen, taking out two sets of utensils.

In his view, no matter what happened today, death was inevitable. Cheng Hao knew the relationship between himself and Boss Zhou; after so many years, the Ma family’s business was suddenly severed.

“Zhao Jun, back then, Qingzi planned to save Ao’er first and then die with you. Qingzi… Qingzi… Qingzi would never let you leave alone.”

Li Menghan showed great friendliness towards Ajiu’s arrival. Ajiu regarded Wang Yibing as his elder brother, as close as kin. Naturally, Li Menghan treated him as family and did not neglect him.

I looked towards the entrance. Two carriages had arrived, lavishly decorated with gold and jewels. Just by looking, one could tell they were top-tier configurations. Although not necessarily better than a BMW, the ride should be very comfortable.

Ding Zhong flashed forward, rushing behind the wolf king who had just jumped into the camp, reaching out to grab the wolf’s tail.

Xu Fu raised his wine cup and drained it in one gulp. A green glow entered his body, dissipating as it spread, making Xu Fu feel more energetic. Then, with a gentle twist of his palm, the jade cup dissolved into nothingness.

Everyone felt a bit oppressed; after all, President Wang’s expression was grim. Zhang Ling and the others had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of Gu Shao, but now the mood had soured.

The demon tribe had no grand schemes; they were starving! The food had come straight to their door, so of course the demon cultivators gladly accepted it.

Shangguan Yao had followed under some pretext, naturally guessing part of her purpose. Qin Chuan’s earlier meaning was precisely to have Shangguan Yao come with him, but out of consideration for Ye Qiuqi’s presence, he couldn’t say it outright. The only unexpected thing was that Shangguan Yao couldn’t come up with her own excuse.

Zhao Zhu offered a suggestion and then went down himself to understand the source of Xiong Zhiqi’s reaction. The expressions of those below varied widely—some laughed heartily, others grimaced in pain, some looked sullen—adding fuel to an already tense atmosphere.

“Big brother!” Ajiu led people rushing in, surrounding the Revered One and Miss Jiu in the center. Throughout, Miss Jiu hadn’t uttered a single word.

Wu Mengqi happened to be working on this road; he indeed intended to seek her advice.

“By the way, if Brother Ye wishes to purchase anything, you can first visit my Divine Sword Alliance’s trade guild. I can guarantee you the best price,” Lin Yuan said. Most martial artists came to the city to stock up on resources. Someone of Chen Ting’s stature was naturally a major client for the Divine Sword Alliance.

The priest was not as broad-minded as Elder Wu and the others. He had almost been fooled by that wretched girl Jiang Suxi just now and was still somewhat angry!

“You reap what you sow. Since this is a curse placed on you by Shihu, you should be the one to break it.”

“Please forgive me, Father Emperor. Mother’s departure was sudden; I was only momentarily confused,” Chen Ting said, composing himself and suppressing all emotions, his expression returning to calm.

After speaking, Lin Tiancheng glanced back at the dazzling avenue with lingering sentiment, then turned and soared swiftly through the void for thousands of miles.

Although Qian Cheng was arrogant and high-minded, he could not disregard the face of the Public Security Bureau chief and immediately extended his hand to Ling Zhiyuan.

“Milky Way Bridge?” This stone bridge was called the Milky Way Bridge? Wu Yu pondered briefly and then headed to the other side of the bridge, wanting to see what lay beyond.
