Volume One, Chapter 43: I Never Argue with Fools

Stepping out of the Grand Mahavira Hall, Xu Zhiyi cast a glance at Xu Kong, who was putting on a pretentious facade, and gave a slight sniff.

"The Buddha says, 'Indescribable, indescribable!'"

With that, she turned and left with a smile.

Xu Kong felt a surge of breath block in his chest, and he nearly vomited a mouthful of old blood.

How dare she threaten him!

Yet, he could only watch helplessly as Xu Zhiyi drifted away, utterly devoid of recourse.

He cursed under his breath, "What a nemesis!"

The noble lady looked at his expression and wore a face on the verge of tears.

Those Guardian Warriors of Ashina were very likely to have turned into springs of power after their deaths, functioning much like an ancestral tablet enshrined in a place, yet they were merely tablets devoid of true souls—empty shells.

The corners of the hall were festooned with spiderwebs, and the tables, chairs, and utensils were all coated in a thick layer of dust. Moreover, they appeared to have been heavily gnawed by termites, pitted and scarred, with not a single piece remaining intact.

In Li Changsheng's impression, Lü Bu was a mighty warrior possessing the valor of ten thousand men, the foremost fierce general of the Three Kingdoms. Yet today, he had witnessed the man's wretched and petty side, which completely subverted his perception.

This was even more true for many students, who were required to listen attentively during class every single day without the slightest bit of play, and whose actions had to strictly adhere to regulations; asking for leave required a phone call from their parents, otherwise it would never be granted.

A faint smile lingered on Yin Tian's lips. While appreciating the "scenery" before him, he twirled the soul hairpin in his hand.

The three figures in the shadows watched the car drive away before stepping out. Illuminated by the streetlights, they were none other than Long Shihua, Jiang Zhenglong, and Wuhou.

"What are you shouting for! Changsheng wouldn't even touch us sisters, let alone fancy that mortal concubine of yours?" Linglong felt a flurry of vexation in her heart. While casting furtive glances at Li Changsheng and the other person, she rebuked the King of Great Tang unceremoniously.

Black Qi surged over the body of the Hundred-Battle Divine General. The wound inflicted by the Tai'e Sword rapidly stitched itself together, and he fixed his scarlet eyes upon Li Xuandao, letting out a roar that did not sound human.

With that, a hint of worry surfaced in her beautiful eyes. After all, two teams from the Blazing Heaven Mansion were stationed over there.

"Speaking of which, why must I be the hostage?" Li Yongming wore an expression of dissatisfaction, as he had hoped to participate in this exercise with a weapon in hand.

"Wu, my sister, I'm sorry, it was me..." The forced suppression of his anger, coupled with the need to put on a sincere expression of apology and the anxious desire to resolve the matter, made Zuo Zitao's complexion instantly turn the color of pork liver. His breathing grew rapid and unstable.

If it were his intelligence being looked down upon, Wang Xi would have just accepted it, because he simply lacked such a thing! But now, his pride and joy—his spiritual power—was also being despised! Rage soared in his heart, and before he knew it, he poured his full strength into it, shooting a golden hue straight to the top of the crystal pillar.

Li Si's expression could only be described as utterly indifferent. Knowing that his power was extraordinarily formidable, he naturally felt not the slightest bit of anticipation.

She was still holding a set of cleaning tools, and afterwards, the two of them continued chatting and laughing as they walked towards the direction of the Indulgence Palace.

Before Wang Xi could complain or make demands, a flash of white light plunged him into darkness. After Wang Xi departed, a figure appeared in the space, glanced at the embryo, curled the corners of its lips, and vanished in an instant.

"Hi! Understood. Officer, I've had a bit of an upset stomach these past two days. I'll use the restroom first, and then I'll head over to the Fang family to issue orders and investigate their situation," answered Hirotomo Takagi.

"I reckon I've landed in another country on this continent. Going in completely blind like this, what on earth should I do? Arno, do you have any hard currency on you?" Fang Li asked with some worry.

These were matters neither to be contemplated nor spoken of. Since things hadn't reached that stage yet, thinking about them any further would be mere daydreaming and a waste of mental energy and brain cells.

At that moment, a snake with a body as red as fire and a golden ring around its neck emerged from the edge of the waterfall, entered the water curtain, and slowly slithered its way toward the recessed rock wall.
