Chapter 60: You're Hiding Something From Me

Shen Qingqing's belongings were all at the hospital, and Jiang Zhixun, being a man, didn't have many things to bring either.
Without needing any time to pack, on the very day Shen Qingqing was discharged, the two of them took a carriage to the county railway station.
To ensure Shen Qingqing could rest well, they bought sleeper tickets.
As the New Year approached, travelers heading north and south were numerous.
Shen Qingqing's arm was immobilized and supported by a sling around her neck, walking ahead with empty hands.
Jiang Zhixun followed closely behind, carrying the luggage.

The village chief's voice was extremely hoarse and sounded utterly listless at the moment, likely still grieving over the previous events.
Xue Bin had lost an arm and could no longer maintain his balance; with stumbling steps, he quickly ran over.

"Alright, now that matters have reached this point, our work is mostly done. Let's leave the rest to those people!" Jianguo thought very clearly, knowing that they had only come here as a temporary transition and would all return to the capital once the opportunity matured.

A Chou and Nangong Qiqing similarly raised both hands, tightly covering their ears with expressions of utter disbelief.

Liu Hong didn't know how he managed to reach his mother, Dong Sijun; he only knew he desperately wanted to throw himself into his mother's arms and have a good cry.

During the night they spent holding each other in sleep, Bai Shixuan was in a hazy, restless state, hovering between wakefulness and slumber without getting much sleep.

Unable to recall it for the moment, she stopped dwelling on it. Yan Yuchiu offered a faint, polite smile and extended her hand to gently shake Bai Shixuan's.

Rong Jinxiu and Xu Luanfei looked at the father and son with a mixture of relief and gratification, letting out long breaths as their hearts filled with endless comfort and contentment.

Sima Haoliang and Ran Xue sat together, chatting and laughing in low voices from time to time. They had also seen Wu Qian at the birthday banquet of Elder Long from the Long family in letter history, yet they likewise failed to recognize that the Wu Qian participating in the competition right now was the very same Wu Qian they had met before.

These words extinguished the tiny spark of joy that had just surfaced in Zhou Kuiruo's heart. After sending the doctor away, Zhou Kuiruo sat blankly by the bedside, waiting for Chuntao to wake up.

He also held a deep aversion toward Tian Junhao. He had merely made a guest appearance, with screen time even less than Wang Tianming's, and heard that his scenes had even been edited out. Despite all this, they still expected him to come and help with the publicity, which almost made him sick with anger.

At this moment, the group paid no heed to the rotting corpse, instead frantically rubbing Lu Liang's back and soothing his chest, hoping to revive him.

"Why are you here? What should our next step be?" Since Hai He was helping Cheng Shang to this extent, they were naturally allies, so Li Zhiying asked.

Seeing that Tong Yan had put it that way, Uncle Li said no more and dropped her off at the intersection ahead.

"Screech—!" Jin Feng let out an angry, furious roar and immediately plummeted downward to tear into the target, its ferocious phoenix talons unleashing a violent slash as if tearing everything to shreds.

"Damn it, you actually chose to detonate the artifact spirit!" Subjected to the destructive energy attack of the Tai'a Sword's artifact spirit, the artifact spirit of the Heavenly Wall Semi-Immortal Artifact let out an angry roar, continuously channeling the power of heaven and earth to mount a defense.

"I wonder if you have obtained the Tai'a Sword, the supreme treasure of my Weapon Sect?" The soul elder released a wisp of soul power, crushed the dead-eyed head in his grip, and asked much more calmly.

"Just as it sounds. You are a person from the Southern Frontier, and we in Northern Yan do not accommodate you. Of course, if you insist on staying, we won't mind either, but once you stay, when you get to leave will no longer be up to you." A Northern Yan soldier wore a roguish expression, aggressively challenging the Prime Minister of the Southern Frontier.

Goodness gracious, does he really want to score another perfect score! — Chen Kun stared at Wang He's receding back with a cry of astonishment. If it really turned out to be a full score, that would be extraordinary. That would truly make him a genius.

At this thought, Tong Yan looked up again at the man before her, and without any warning, crystal-clear tears suddenly streamed down her eyes.

At this moment, Chairman Guo and the other shareholders listened clearly. The disciple's train of thought was entirely correct, and every single point he made was reasonable. Besides, this was precisely what they all wanted to know.

Although a night of cultivation had slightly increased the spiritual liquid within his body, Wuyue found that the effects of his cultivation were diminishing, seemingly reaching a bottleneck.

"The purpose behind everything she did is precisely what I want you to investigate!" the man said coldly.

"Good, good. When the time comes, I certainly won't treat you unfairly. How about I make you an elder?" Murasho Hideo laughed heartily.

"Please calm your anger, Grand Protector Longwei. I was merely drawing an analogy. The crucial point is: if others do not offend me, I shall not offend them; but if they do offend me, I will never tolerate even half a step of compromise. Of course, if I truly violate the sect's rules, it will also put you in a difficult position—whether you wish to imprison or execute me, do as you please!" Zhou Yun hastily added another sentence right after.

"Yes, Earth Emperor. Raising this youth might stem from a bit of selfishness on my part, wanting to suppress the momentum of the Heavenly Emperor, but my old man's appreciation for talent is the key factor here," the green-robed human emperor stated.

Xiao Fei cast a casual glance at the animals before him, and those beasts behaved as if they had laid eyes upon their king, cowering inside their cages without even the courage to let out a loud roar.

The Zhonghai Safe Zone was heavily guarded. Exactly how was Jiang Liushi supposed to kill Chu Chongshan, a high-ranking official of Zhonghai?

At this time, seeing Xue'er also halt her movements, the Black Tortoise did not converse with her. It instantly unleashed a water-style spell it had long prepared, conjuring piercing flying icicles, snowflake weapons as lethal as hidden darts, countless water dragons, and a sky full of shooting water arrows that roared toward Xue'er.

As for motorcycles, Mo Li had one as well, but compared to the ones belonging to these people, hers was simply not worth mentioning.

Originally, all the artifact refiners had been attracted here entirely because Qin Qiguan had overestimated his capabilities and struck the Heaven-Shaking Drum.

However, what Wang Ruxin said was also true; going to Li Mi's residence at this juncture was indeed a bit too risky. For a moment, Zhai Rang hesitated again, his gaze involuntarily turning toward Wang Ruxin, hoping he could scout the path ahead for him first.

Building upon that foundation, however, he added a safeguard by arranging for the top ten elites and geniuses of the Nine Dragons Roll from the academy to enter the secret realm.

Zhaixin was of the Kui clan's royalty, but there were others whose status rivaled hers. Among them, a male with a pair of purple horns immediately retorted to her.

Over the phone, he had already listened to Xu Xiangsi explain the situation, and at this moment, his face was taut, radiating a deep gloom.

The Heavenly Sword Secret Realm was the original site of the Tianhe Sword Sect. Even though it had been opened numerous times, it remained filled with many mysteries, harboring many perilous zones that no one had ever set foot in.
