Volume 1, Chapter 56: Waking from the Dream

Never mind.

Qin Xianxian tried her best to pull herself away from the lingering dream she had just experienced. She shook off the extraneous thoughts swirling in her mind and softly asked, "How are you here?"

Baili Xu, who had long prepared his spiritual energy, suddenly surged it towards the vital gate. In an instant, he broke free from the drug’s suppression, and his Golden Core cultivation swiftly returned to his body.

Originally, the Elders’ Council of Fengwu City consisted of seven families. Apart from the Shang and Gao Sheng families, among the remaining four, Fang Xucheng’s Fang family had been removed, leaving the Xu, Wei, and Luo families.

After all, Fang Tai Jingxuan was a borderline business brand—unreported by civilians and uninvestigated by officials. Everyone tacitly understood this and chose to overlook it.

Why did this young lady seem to grow angrier the more she spoke? Clenching her fists, could it be that Pei Yu had also offended her?

By the time Shi Yuan returned, quite some time had passed. Shi Yuan and Shi Lin came to knock on Jiang Li and Gu Jin’s room. When Jiang Li opened the door and saw them, he knew the outcome. He invited them in and took two stools out from the space for them to sit.

Although Song Shishu felt somewhat speechless, hearing that Fu Jingzhan cared for her so deeply still brought a quiet joy to her heart.

We laughed heartily at each other, exchanging compliments face to face, which made us blush slightly. We could only smile, eyes filled with mutual admiration.

Manager Xu took two trips a year, each lasting half a month without fail. He didn’t value money or business too heavily, and treated his employees well, both in benefits and salary. His relationships with upstream manufacturers were also harmonious. His main brands were Sony Ericsson and Philips, with Samsung, Sony, and OPPO also under his management.

In short, Ji Xingge was quite fortunate. Because he was a step late and witnessed Qiu Yinan being captured, he concealed his identity. Upon entering the city, he realized the situation was worse than he imagined; more than one or two had been captured.

Ning Yanzhi didn’t quite understand. Bai Mengjin belonged to the Wuji Sect—once Ling Bufei ascended, she would naturally become the sect leader’s wife, beneficial to the Immortal Alliance. So why did Master seem somewhat worried?

This time, he was remarkably alert and didn’t freeze in place. Instinctively, he leapt forward to hold the person, shielding them in his arms. Liao Ling looked around warily, only one thought in her mind: her sister couldn’t be seen like this.

The ground-dwelling monsters were secondary; more crossbows aimed at the densely packed flying bird demons above. With overwhelming power, they fired relentlessly.

Ordinary people would have been frightened by Bai Ji’s appearance long ago, but Chu Se was different from most.

Just as Xiao Wuxin’s thoughts wavered, unbeknownst to him, a certain being silently observing everything within the chaotic space had every hair standing on end, frozen stiff in place.

“I wanted to see what your Yidong Media was like, so I came to wait for you,” Cui Miaomiao explained with a smile.

A man like him—handsome and strong—had long since abandoned those mundane worldly desires... Though, Tushan Yiren and the First Emperor were still somewhat acceptable.

“Yes, I’ll go tell him,” Zhang Liehu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad the matter didn’t involve his son.

Jiang Yunjue had initially wanted to avoid much contact with Chu Se. After all, he knew Ren Tiantian liked him, and it was because of him that she fully resolved to take action against Jun Chu Se.

Calling a face in his twenties that showed no sign of aging “Elder” felt strange even to Xiao Wuxin himself. Fortunately, since they had met before, he simply used the title he had been told to use at that time... after all, it was he who told him to call him that, Xiao Wuxin thought to himself quietly.

He watched Qing Wu rushing towards him, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his lips, but a trace of sorrow and helplessness stirred in his eyes. Such days, he feared, would never come again. In the blink of an eye, Qing Wu had reached his side. Murong Qinglei immediately dispersed the emotion in his eyes, but unexpectedly, Qing Wu quickly saw through it.
