Volume One, Chapter 27: They Actually Followed Him Home to Sabotage Him

He took a deep, satisfied breath, listening as the chaotic singing began again and again, gradually smoothing into a unified chorus. His heart swelled with the sense of accomplishment that comes from "changing the world."

Most of those present were engineering students; they burst into laughter at these words, and one of them was even shoved playfully by his companions.

His gaze swept over the crowd, lingering briefly on Yu Xiaohao and the others before he turned away, ignoring them entirely.

Qi Sinong couldn't help but give a sheepish smile. That was indeed what she had been thinking, and having Ge'er call it out so bluntly left her feeling quite embarrassed.

Back when the Bodhi Patriarch had first offered to take him as a disciple, because the other party had been slow to respond, he had fantasized about having the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, the Primeval Lord of Heaven, or the Master of Heaven as his master instead.

Lost in thought, Song Ming reached the edge of the carnivorous plant jungle. With a sudden twist of his body, he found himself in a clearing. The place felt strange, and a sudden, sharp sense of danger rose in his heart, prompting him to look around with heightened caution.

Provoking the chairmen of the two associations was enough to have his Shi family wiped out ten thousand times over. To now offend a behemoth like the Tianjue City Branch, and a prominent figure from the Western Prefecture on top of that, left the Second Uncle of the Shi family in total despair.

"Shubao, did you just get back?" Unable to bear the suffocating silence of their unspoken intimacy any longer, Yan Mengmeng asked softly.

The shop was small and had only a few clerks, but an old man at the front desk using an abacus was particularly striking. His graying crew cut stood up like a wire brush, and with his high nose bridge and sturdy frame, he carried a hint of exotic charm.

Although he had not spent much time with Zhang Yi, Taibai Jinxing knew that the man before him was not one to suffer a loss.

Mad Scholar had arrived behind the group without anyone noticing, still accompanied by the water bear and the scout Zi Feng. Seeing them all at a loss, he sneered twice, which was when the group finally realized he was there.

At the mention of this, every goblin’s expression faltered, but they soon lowered their heads. The elder was right.

"It’s gone, it’s gone, I promise I won’t do it again!" Nongxue bowed and scraped, following closely at his heels, not daring to fall behind for even a second.

However, Qiao Junyao had no intention of letting Su Yan off. She pulled up her sleeve and held her arm out in front of him, the bruise on her wrist standing out starkly against her fair skin.

It sounded like the wind, or perhaps the vibration of some object. Valke, who had been running, stopped and looked left and right, but there was nothing unusual, and the wind was not blowing from any direction.

This was naturally the handiwork of the goblins: a goblin carriage treated with enchantments. However, after Zhao Yan’s modifications, the carriage not only maintained its balance but also regulated the temperature. This inspiration, of course, came from the principles of Earth's air conditioning.

Luo Quanyi said no more. The two set up their tents and began to cultivate, guarded by the Red-Toothed Wild Lion.

He had expected the entire head of the PX-3 to be ruined, but it looked as if nothing had happened. The shock in Sentomaru’s heart gradually faded, replaced by a mocking look directed at Simon.

"Heh, do you really think I can’t see what’s on your mind?" Murong Shanshan looked up at me and chuckled.

In truth, Lu Qi’s way of eating was a habit he had picked up on Beast Island. There, once he had cooked a large piece of fish, he would just hold it and eat it like a savage; he was nowhere near as refined as he was now.

Sun Jian knew this was just Yuan Shu’s rhetoric and said nothing, though his expression was far from pleasant.

Presumably because they had failed to protect the manor and been reprimanded by the Corpse Buddha, the two did not trade barbs this time, standing trembling to the side instead.

Yang Hao was somewhat surprised by Cui Hongdu’s candor. After a moment of thought, he understood the meaning behind his words.

Yang Feng, unable to defeat him, led his army toward Xi'an. From then on, Li Jue's military power gradually weakened. Furthermore, Guo Si frequently launched attacks, causing many casualties.

The three people in front were all middle-aged and at the peak of the God King realm. They were the elders of the Battle Hall, the Weaponry Hall, and the Alchemy Hall, respectively, while Elder Chou was the master of the Formation Hall.

Off the stage, Murong Yi’s gaze remained fixed on Li Yuyun. He was deeply worried for her, but he knew there was nothing he could do to intervene in this battle.

"There is no need for that. My master said that I must go out and conquer the world on my own, and that our fate as master and disciple ends here. We shall meet again if destiny permits." As he spoke, Xue Rengui actually began to tear up.

Wuenqi rolled his eyes. He didn't actually want to run away, but Zhulantuya simply refused to believe him. Night had already shrouded Chuyun Mountain, but the phantom fire remained bright. The firelight reflected off Zhulantuya’s face, making her skin appear even more luminous, radiant, and beautiful.

"Not going would make me look guilty. Besides, I am a member of Dihua now," Lin Bixiao said with a look of pride, leaving Du Caiwei speechless with rage.

"It, it really didn't happen!" Influenced by Gu Ruoyu’s powerful aura, A-Meng felt his heart tremble, but he still answered professionally.

I thought about the problems I was currently facing. First was the issue with Hou San. I had beaten his men, and in front of others, I had called him a grandson.
