“...Someone come!”
After a long silence, Lou Yu called out in a deep voice.
It was not that he truly understood nothing.
He had indeed never had a close father or elder brother at his side to offer him proper guidance and instruction during the crucial stages of his growth.
Yang Rui and Shen Du had taught him mostly about character and his studies.
Yet matters such as this... though no one had taught him directly, there were still books and common sense.
Lou Yu had read widely and had moved among both military camps and circles of spoiled young nobles. He had known these things since he was barely ten...
Rong Zheng shot him an exasperated look and clenched his fist. “You weren’t there that day. You have no idea how terrifying it was.” Even now, remembering those screams, like the desperate cries of someone struggling on the brink of death, made his skin crawl.
Su Yue felt deeply troubled. She could guess the predicament Shao Dongqing was in, but she was utterly powerless to help.
Yun Yihan failed at first to realize that Feng Qianqian’s question was a trap. He instinctively pressed his lips together and shook his head. Though he very much wanted to, he did not wish to lose control in front of her again.
Only after Lu Nanshi turned and left did Su Yue realize that something was wrong. She was the one who had lost her job, so why should she be the one apologizing to him?

“The more he forbids it, the more suspicious his intentions seem, don’t they?” Han Junyu said coldly, his eyes carrying a chill.
Surrounded by enemies, Lu Bu roared, “I am the elder brother of Pang Shiyuan—Lu Bu!” His voice thundered, and together with the ferocity he had displayed moments earlier in battle, it left every soldier nearby trembling with fear.
For a long while, those nearby watched Luo Tong, whispering among themselves. Their opinions of him were uniformly favorable, and they clearly held him in high regard. Ji Ziran had finally seen through it: the so-called grand gathering had attracted none of the true heirs of the major powers, only some young people of modest renown. The event was of a lower caliber than he had expected.
That gaze gave people an indescribable feeling. Whatever else it might have been, it was certainly unpleasant. Baochun could not help sighing. It seemed someone had taken an interest in her, and she had ended up becoming enemies with him for no good reason.
“Stop worrying. I’ll do everything I can.” Guo Jia turned his face and gazed up at Xiahou Dun’s solemn countenance, forcing a faint smile.
Zhan Feitian was so furious that his teeth ached. He glanced at the other Grand Guardians. All he needed was for one of them to be willing to help him strike.
“Master, naturally I have no objection to their coming to attend my wedding. But... is it really all right for them to possess other people’s bodies?” Li Zhuang asked in astonishment.
Xu Jingnian could not accept this outcome. He had only just managed to escape from that place, crossing mountains and rivers to reach here, all for the sake of becoming a disciple of the Great Words Sect. Now, seeing his hopes collapse at the final moment, he could not help feeling disappointed, a trace of bewilderment appearing on his face.
With the Wood Spirit’s help, the spiritual energy within him had already recovered completely. His reserves were now at their fullest.
Ye Junxiu had been reduced to such a sorry state precisely because the Ant Demon King had drained nearly all the spiritual energy from his body.
Even the dust around them began to tremble slowly, and the people from the other noble clans and sects could not help feeling their hearts shudder with terror.

The second match was a battle between two contestants who rarely managed to win even once. Yet there was still little suspense, and Ye Yunfeng won with relative ease.
“Father, why did you summon me?” Wang Ningzhi ignored the members of the He clan. Instead, he bowed to Wang Xizhi, then took a seat at an unoccupied place.
Because of Erina, he had to move Misaki Shokuhou’s storyline forward. But he certainly could not simply transplant the contents of Volume 11 of the New Testament into an earlier part of the story.
Lin Yu naturally understood what the shopkeeper meant, but he did not take it to heart. After all, this place was merely a passing point in his life.
Matt took a step back and let Peter recover on his own. He studied Peter, a thoughtful look emerging in his eyes.
Lin Yu did not stop her. He was worthy of her bow; otherwise, granting favors without seeking any return would still entangle him in karma.
Su Yingxue and Zhang Lingyu’s kindness and profound love were almost more than Yuan Zhi could bear. In his heart, he silently swore: Lingyu, Yingxue, do not worry. I will certainly find the spirit herbs and help you attain immortal spirit bodies. Together, we will travel throughout the splendor of the universe.
