Chapter 55: Camellia: Su Jinnian's Side Story I
For the first twenty-nine years of his life, Su Jinnian's journey had been entirely smooth-sailing.
With a father who was a well-known director in the industry and a mother who was a celebrated actress, Su Jinnian grew up under the perpetual glare of camera flashes from the moment he was born.
His parents were regarded as a model couple in the entertainment circle. Following their marriage, his father's career soared effortlessly, while his mother gradually shifted her focus toward their small family, slowly stepping back from the limelight.
Su Jinnian was a child star—brought along by his mother to participate in parenting reality shows from a young age, with his father guiding him.
Yet, even upon reaching the standard realm, without a certain degree of innate comprehension, cultivation remained immensely difficult. In the cultivation world, a martial artist capable of grasping a complete divine ability while still in the Kaiyuan Realm could be described as truly gifted, brilliant and breathtakingly talented.
"Oh! Not bad at all, capturing so many bandits along with horses and weapons. Are those large chests filled with gold, silver, and jewels?" Yuan Yue glanced backward. Although she considered Stone to be somewhat wooden-faced, he certainly had quite a few tricks up his sleeve.
A green claw descended from the sky, instantly expanding manifold, carrying an overwhelming, all-encompassing shadow as it enveloped the patch of verdant land that had trapped Shi Jingtian.
Tang Xinyu played it smart, intentionally saying with a generous air, "If you wish to leave, you may go. Saving you just now was merely a matter of a trivial effort."
At this moment, everyone was struck dumb, standing motionless like carved wood or sculpted clay, shaken to the absolute extreme.
Lin Jingyi said with a trace of displeasure. Though he never spoke of it aloud, he knew very well that this Luo Jiutian seemed deliberately intent on keeping him within the Five Elements Sect, preventing him from searching for Lin Yi's whereabouts.
Looking at the elderly person who was now able to move about as normally as anyone else after taking the medicinal broth from the Golden Roc Corporation, the remaining test subjects wore expressions of envy mixed with a hint of regret. How wonderful it would have been if those subjects of the Golden Roc Corporation had been themselves instead.
"Apologies, but the two senior masters, the Abbot and the Sect Leader, are temporarily not receiving guests. I hope you will forgive me, Junior Brother. If you have no other matters, I shall have someone escort the two of you down the mountain. What do your thoughts lie, Junior Brother?" Mingsongzi wore a face full of polite words, yet he could hardly conceal his flickering, shifting gaze.
"The Other Shore is far more marvelous than you can imagine. A few words cannot make it clear. Once you arrive there, you will understand everything. Let us go," said Brother Long.
Ju Shisen wore a triumphant look. "Long ago, those ignorant fools wanted to use this to enter the Samsara Sea, but unfortunately..." Though he left unfinished what was unfortunate, Wukong could easily guess that he meant obtaining the divine armor.
The investigative capability of paparazzi was beyond a doubt. Chen Long running into Prandelli in the lobby was something many people knew about, and the reporters naturally hyped it up wildly as nothing out of the ordinary.
If Song Lianxin were to cross the threshold, her very first move would be to edge Dongli out. Otherwise, could the legitimate daughter of the dignified Duke An's estate possibly lower herself to become a concubine? Backed by Lady Huang and Duke An's estate, the Northern Marquis's mansion would undoubtedly plunge into absolute chaos and turmoil.
Shen Feng naturally knew that when the Fengling Warrior asked in such a manner, it appeared to be out of concern, but in reality, he was probing the true strength and background of Shen Feng and Lu Qingyu.
Meanwhile, Aotian controlled the battle situation in the east of the city, and Heaven Is Not Lonely arrived with a small group of survivors. Their days were far from easy either; the guild was embroiled in endless internal wrangling. Who would be willing to keep lying dead like a corpse in the game indefinitely? No priest dared to come and resurrect them, and even if they were resurrected, what good would it do? After all, who told the six major guilds to initiate that event?
"Understood, Big Brother, I understand! Very well, let's leave right now. Once we step out of this Northern Continent, we can spread our wings and make our mark once more!" Long Yang fully grasped Xu Hong's intent and spoke.
The five of them concentrated their firepower against the members of Conquering Flames, and the moment their skills were unleashed, three of them were instantly taken down.
Dongli smiled and blinked at Wang Yue娘, whose pretty face instantly turned as red as a ripe tomato. Lowering her head in embarrassment, she quickly gathered her things. "I'll be leaving first. Rest assured, I know what I must do," she said, before scurrying away in a hasty escape.
