Volume 1, Chapter 67: Who Said She Was Well-Behaved

Song Xianwan's words caused Old Madam Qin to pause the gesture of patting her.

Gu Shuya was also somewhat baffled by her sudden statement.

Judging by today's tense atmosphere, a decisive victory or defeat seemed inevitable; why did she suddenly change her tune and alter her words?

"Take the Fifth Madam to the ancestral hall."

After a long while, Old Madam Qin said in a deep voice.

"As for this person..."

"I want to buy the ruins map," Su Bai said, and immediately began browsing the tablet in front of him.

Song Qi wore plain-colored linen trousers and a shirt, along with silver-rimmed glasses. His skin was fairer than that of most young men, making him look even more youthful—so much so that if someone called him a university student, few would doubt it.

Looking at Chen Changan's bewildered expression, Bai Di couldn't help but take a deep breath, at a loss for words.

Yang Chun said nothing. She snatched the wine flask and drank straight from the spout. As the liquor spilled and dripped down the gaps, her tears fell in a torrential downpour as well.

The expression on his aged face softened slightly. He put down the answer sheet in his hand and reached out to pick up the second one.

Having kicked the person away, Chu Se resumed her previous posture with her legs crossed. Her fair, slender fingers gently patted the hem of her qipao, brushing away dust that did not even exist.

The owner of the clothes was tied beneath the vehicle by Ye Wenqin, deeply immersed in the mental world constructed for him by Ye Wenqin.

Ye Wenqin knew his own capabilities and understood that these two youths already possessed exceptional talent. In Ye Wenqin's spiritual vision, ninety-nine percent of the youths who had completed their contracts this year still remained in the state of ordinary people.

Gradually, his perception of time became sharper, to the extent that with a mere wave of his hand, he felt as though he could touch the laws of time.

A portion of the spell techniques landed on the elixir array to manipulate it, while another portion fell upon the alchemy furnace and spiritual herbs, seemingly engaged in refining pills.

"...Let's skip complaining about the speed of cooking, because I know complaining is futile. But A-ren, let me ask you this first: where did these ingredients come from?" Sakuya asked, pressing her temples.

With those words, Chen Ping lowered his head and planted a dragonfly-water-skimming, light kiss on Le Qingyun's cheek. Faced with Chen Ping's almost childish gesture, Le Qingyun could only shake her head with a helpless smile.

Even if the other party knew the value of primordial spiritual Qi and brought it to trade with Wang Pengwu, at worst Wang Pengwu could simply bring out more iron weapons. But now, the other party didn't even understand what primordial spiritual Qi was—how could they possibly collect primordial spiritual treasures for him?

Murong Xiao could detect no malice in his eyes; driven by pure intuition, Xu Fugui meant him no harm.

At this moment, Xie Chunhua's voice carried a distinct trace of anxiety and unease. It lacked the absolute certainty he had displayed when speaking with Ling Gongsheng earlier—everything he showed before had merely been an act.

Kong Xuan, however, momentarily lost control of the rebound force and was sent stumbling backward dozens of zhang, yet his expression remained serene, showing no signs of heavy injury.

"Reporting to the Chief, we also have a matter that requires assistance from superiors." Seeing the chiefs in such high spirits, Li Yong hurriedly brought up a condition of his own.

His cultivation was also formidable, having already reached the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm. Among the dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall, his strength was among the absolute elite.

Eve's appearance was indeed somewhat worrying; her face was flushed, and her expression appeared distracted.

However, hearing the words of King Zhou of Shang, the situation seemed relatively stable. With no popular uprisings triggered, as long as the overall situation remained secure, everything else would be easy to resolve.

These low-ranking officials wished to offer timely help to the Crown Prince during his hour of need, little knowing that this blaze of loyalty was fierce; the moment they drew even slightly close, they would be burned to ashes, leaving not a trace behind.

Doro, residing in the endless abyss, was naturally well aware of the events unfolding in the prime material plane; even his ascent to the rank of Demon Duke was largely credited to the Church of the Giant Eye.

Watching Director Liu's retreating back, Wu Kang shook his head with a smile and muttered, "A sly old fox! He actually tried to fish for information. But did he really say Yuxuan has fallen for me?" With that, Wu Kang turned around and walked toward his tent.
