Volume 1, Chapter 22: Discovering a New Business Opportunity

"Father, you insisted I come back today. What exactly is the matter?" Claude had been downstairs for a while, still uncertain why Old Adams had summoned him, and finally asked.

Bei Tingyu was somewhat surprised that Old Man Qi would proactively admit his fault, and even so... resignedly allow him to burn down his precious herb garden.

The guards in the shadows were perplexed by the Princess's words; with the Prince away, who exactly was meant to sleep beside him?

Thinking of this, the patriarch of the Mountain Forest family gritted his teeth, bent down, and moved the burning wood on the ground aside.

Although Elena had already arrived at the Fries Medical School, proving her exceptional capabilities, for some reason many were still surprised by her presence and failed to truly acknowledge her talents in their hearts.

Even though they were both sons of planetary rulers from the Southern Demon Realm, their fathers would likely be unable to provide help in time for such an immediate crisis.

He had only adopted the Feng surname after entering the Feng family; if he truly found it so disagreeable, what would it matter if he changed it back to his original one?

The Fourth Prince blinked, his stunning face flickering with an unprecedented confusion, for he had no idea what Jun Zilin meant.

"Ancestors, what has happened to you? What occurred last night?" As soon as Jiang Yunwan saw Jiang Hun, she immediately asked, for she too was a descendant of the Jiang family.

Zeyan remained indifferent to their whispers, while Qi Yu turned to give him a meaningful look after listening, falling into silence.

Their battles were always fought with full force, never leaving a path of retreat; unless the enemy was dead, they would never turn back.

"I am more familiar with medicinal herbs than you are. Let me make the arrangements." Jiang Yushu urged him to sit and hurried out, deciding to instruct the steward to scour for herbs throughout the night.

Furthermore, after that set of skeletal remains received the essence pill given by Zhang Ruyun, the white mist swirling around its body surged violently, instantly wrapping it tightly as if it were shrouded in a layer of gossamer that refused to dissipate. Not long after, that white veil began to tint with streaks of red, growing increasingly vivid.

Jiang Yushu sat on a small stool, a pile of sprouted potatoes in her left hand and a basket of wood ash in her right, with a hay-lined crate placed before her.

Seeing Zhang Ruyun's terrifying form, Zi Xiangtian grew even more fearful and hastily said, "Let's not look! This bead is strange today; if my mother sees the abnormal light from this treasure, she will surely come to investigate." Before the other could answer, she reached out in alarm to snatch it away.

In the end, it was because he did not understand her well enough. He had never put himself in her shoes or considered what she wanted and needed, which was why she had risked everything to go to Songming Valley to retrieve the Blue Cold Bead.

"Miss Ji, may I have a word with you?" Outside the palace gate, Xiao Zimo looked at Ji Zili and Mo Yu Jingchen. He always felt she was so similar to his second sister, even sharing the same name—Li'er. The feeling was truly familiar.

Jinfeng was also quite annoyed at being attacked for no reason and began to spar with Chu Yunlian. Unexpectedly, upon smelling blood, Chu Yunlian became even more excited. She licked the fresh blood from her hand, revealing a hair-raising smile, her eyes radiating a dangerous, beast-like glint.

Wandai Hong, capable of steering a nation, was a ruthless and decisive figure at his core. Though a politician, no politician lacks the gambler's spirit. He had long been planning to eliminate the Qi family, but due to excessive caution, he had not yet put it into action.

Yet, to everyone's surprise, they stayed for only three days before leaving, and no one knew why.

Only presidents of various medical associations, attending physicians and deans of the empire's top hospitals were qualified to be evaluated as palace physicians and enter the palace to serve the Emperor.

In addition, five ancient martial arts families—the Su, Bai, Zeng, and Chen families from the East Sea, and the Wu family from Jiangzhou—had become involved. It was clear that since the resurgence of spiritual energy, many changes had occurred in the ancient martial arts and cultivation worlds; the undercurrents of the cultivation world were far from as calm as they appeared on the surface.

The ship did not return immediately, remaining in the original sea area for some time. This was both to inspect the condition of the hull and to wait for any missing survivors to be found.

After a while, looking at Nian Yaoji, her pretty face was flushed with red. Seeing her resentful gaze, she was truly helpless against the man before her.

At this moment, he unleashed all his power, attempting to use the long sword in his hand to sever the vines binding him. Due to the immense force, several crystalline vines were visibly cracked.

While on Lost Island, Mo Jie had intended to thoroughly investigate the origins of these spiritual artifacts upon returning.

When he rushed back, he found the room completely empty. He panicked, his mind going blank: Why was no one there? Where had she gone? Where was she?

"You actually called me Big Sister? Yes, Big Sister usually walks just fine; isn't this carrying a burden?" Chunxi grew instantly angry and retorted without showing any weakness.

The half of the Shadow Moth Sand that Mo Jie carried with him suddenly flew up and gathered in one direction, faintly revealing the blurry silhouette of a young man.

"Very well, since we have reached an agreement, I will have someone draft a contract shortly, and then you can go see Director Fick tomorrow," Lader said.

Hearing this explanation, the crowd's expressions remained unchanged, yet they did not harbor the slightest contempt for Luo Changhe's cultivation, for anyone capable of wielding spatial energy had already touched the pinnacle of the cultivation world.

The moment Huan Chi stepped into the classroom, all the students of Class One, whether they had completed the assessment or not, sat quietly in their seats.

Cheng Shu's words brought Zuo Jun back to reality. Looking at the hairy-faced giant before him, Zuo Jun suddenly felt a sense of displeasure.

"Third Prince" Leon Napoleon was the younger brother of Agatha-Fa Napoleon. His defining characteristic was his shortness! Despite holding a long spear in one hand and a circular wheel in the other, mimicking the posture of the Third Prince, his height was a fatal flaw; even if he were, he was merely a childhood Nezha.

Later, the experts arranged by the hospital arrived. After another round of examinations, there were basically no issues, and after physical cooling, the patient was fine.
