Chapter 52: No Belief in Coincidence

“Is it expensive? How costly can a schoolbag be? It’s just Vivi’s heartfelt gift.” Su Mulin had never paid attention to such things. Besides, their family had already accepted many favors from Lin Wei recently; one more wouldn’t make a difference. They could make up for it in other ways later.

But to his surprise, Zhang Min exclaimed exaggeratedly, “Over fifty.”

“How much?” Su Mulin’s voice instantly rose. “Over fifty? For a schoolbag? I thought it would be at most ten. No way, Vivi—”

At that moment, the silver-faced man stood very close to her, almost pressing her into his embrace. Qing Di pricked up her ears and listened intently for a while, only able to hear his strong and steady heartbeat, no other sounds at all.

“Just boil it with hot water and drink it. If it really works, you’ll see the effect after one dose. If it truly works, let me know. I’ll find some people to help me mass-produce this medicine,” Chu Yaochen said.

So, when I was struggling to catch up, even wanting to surpass the other to gain self-preservation, was this how they saw me in their heart?

Recently, Han’er had sent Batu to the Grand Marshal to check on the collection of military grain, but he had yet to return. Han’er had been puzzled all along.

The house had gained a new patient—a person with dual bodies. The patient was unconscious and needed constant care, medicine, and water. The dual-bodied individual required nourishment because, for cultivators, conceiving offspring was difficult. She needed to prepare some soups and food to help nourish Liu Mingyue.

“Don’t cry, be obedient.” Gu Shiguang had just woken up; his vocal cords hadn’t fully recovered, so his voice was mostly a weak breath.

“Shocked? It’s all your fault! If it weren’t for you, Li Ya wouldn’t have died! The one who should have died was you! It’s you, An Ge, you’re the one who should be dead!” Li Yutong shouted loudly, wishing An Ge would just jump right out of there.

Qing Di had no choice but to lower her head and ponder alone. She thought this probably wasn’t a good task. But since Chu Yaochen was still imprisoned, if she agreed and then pleaded with the emperor, would he agree to spare Chu Yaochen?

In a hospital under the Gu family’s name, Gu Liangzhu and Gu Liangju exited the top-floor elevator one after another and headed straight to the room at the end of the corridor. Two bodyguards standing outside saluted them. After opening the door, they entered without a word.

This man’s aura was extremely oppressive. The temperature inside the car was as cold as winter. Yun Qianchen hugged herself tighter, daring not to say a word.

Before Wang Hao’s astonished gaze, two sweat-drenched disciples of the Tianxuan Sword Sect stopped carving their work, their blades hesitating, revealing a hint of embarrassment.

Cui Xiaoying and Old Cui heard the old woman speak and were overjoyed. Cui Xiaoying gleefully said, “Mom, are you better now?” She grabbed the old woman’s arm, repeatedly inspecting her. Her complexion was rosy, her eyes clear—no trace of illness remained.

No wonder! Zuo Jun suddenly understood. It made sense why his meridians could absorb everything. Even when the other’s divine powers struck him, they instantly transformed into spiritual energy, completely absorbed by his meridians.

Everyone was lost in their own thoughts when suddenly the water beneath the surface began to flow faster and faster, forming a massive whirlpool. The water surface exploded open, and Wei Ming fell back onto the lake’s surface.

The thinly cloaked cultivator smiled sinisterly: “As long as you, Old Jin, dare to go, I will accompany you!” After speaking, he glanced covertly in Mao Chengji’s direction.

However, recently, the chaotic spiritual seeds seemed to be bringing Wang Hao unexpected joys again and again.

I got up from the ground and walked into the operating room. Strangely, the doctor didn’t stop me. Normally, wouldn’t they prevent entry at such a time? The patient had just recovered and shouldn’t be visited yet.
