Chapter 56 With Him By Her Side
Yao Shan's words filled Chu Xun with a sense of heartache, as he knew she hadn't wanted to leave with them yesterday.
"Then have you had breakfast yet?" Chu Xun asked with concern.
"Not yet, but it doesn't matter. I'll just grab something quickly at the restaurant downstairs from the office later," Yao Shan said dismissively.
Yet, Chu Xun could clearly hear the helplessness and exhaustion hidden beneath her words.
"How did you guess it?" Jennifer kept questioning relentlessly, not knowing whether she thought I had deliberately concealed it, though I truly had no such intention.
To this day, Ye Xuanxuan still deluded herself into believing that bad luck was the only reason the Phoenix Glaze Pendant remained completely unresponsive and useless.
He remembered being hit by a car while crossing the street, but why couldn't he feel any pain now, as if his entire body had lost all sensation?
However, while he was so cautious, not everyone was the same. The large bitterfish standing beside Fusang spotted this round object at a glance, reached out and picked it up right away. The few compass spirits immediately let out shrill, high-pitched cries.
I grew somewhat anxious; it seemed the problem was much more complicated than I had imagined. Calling back souls yielded neither Erdan's nor my family members' spirits, which likely meant their souls weren't even in Willow Tree Village, much in the same way as when Lin Ying summoned my father's soul that day.
A-Yang, who was racking his brains nearby, suddenly received a glare from Su Yun, leaving him completely baffled.
Clearly, she was smiling, yet Qu Wanyi inexplicably felt a shiver of chill. She cast a hesitant glance at Gu Chenxi beside her, but failed to notice anything unusual about him, leaving Qu Wanyi somewhat puzzled.
Kneeling on the ground and clutching that letter while trembling all over, I felt as though the entire sky had collapsed and my heart had turned utterly desolate.
This was his only chance to leave this beast-pen that had imprisoned him for a whole decade. Having waited ten full years, how could he let it slip away so easily?
Murong Wan'er felt an inner discomfort—not jealousy, nor hatred, but an indescribable unease.
Li Tianyu snorted, "Who was that you were all cuddled up with?" And to think they were doing it openly right beneath the dormitory building.
Liu Lu had practiced dance for a long time; in terms of figure and bearing, she was not the least bit inferior to Qin Xue, and the light-colored woolen coat she wore was clearly quite expensive.
The car stopped at the gates of the Gong family residence. Seeing it was the Bai family's vehicle, the Gongs immediately had the gates opened. However, when members of the Gong family hurried out to greet them only to see Gong Yu held in Qian's arms with a black umbrella shielding her head, Gong Yu's mother and grandfather almost fainted on the spot. Fortunately, they were steadied by others and managed to regain their composure as they walked over.
Yet, just a few days ago, she had accidentally discovered that all her extravagant hopes were nothing more than self-deluding fantasies.
It was just that the Xu family's shareholder in Imperial Star Entertainment had nominated Xu ZiPei to act as her full representative.
Undoubtedly, the words of the peerless young master instantly struck a raw nerve of the White Tiger. In an instant, the young master felt a crushing pressure descend upon him, making it difficult for him to even breathe.
He merely frowned slightly, then mounted the giant tiger, his obsidian-like eyes rippling with countless lights. His spine was held very straight, exuding a noble restraint and elegance. The giant tiger carried him as he strolled through the streets, and passing pedestrians hurriedly stepped aside to make way.
There were truly quite a number of traffic lights along the way; every short distance led to an intersection, where a long queue of cars was invariably lined up.
"Exactly, just look whose disciple he is—my master Shitian's disciple, how could he possibly be an ordinary person?" Upon closer inspection, not far from Granny Taoyuan's feet, a giant turtle poked its head out from the bushes, flattering him with sycophantic words.
Having just arrived at the dormitory after lunch, he heard a roommate calling out that there was a phone call for him. Li Tianyu ran over while wondering, who on earth could possibly be calling him at a time like this?
Under normal circumstances, practicing the Five Elements True Art should lead to the cultivation of one of the five elemental genuine qi types corresponding to the attributes of one's spiritual roots.
