Volume One, Chapter 47: I Don’t Mind Calling the Police

Duan Rui had plenty of free time lately, so Jiang Li went over to study with her almost every day, and the senior apprentice brother tagged along to attend many of the sessions as well.

After class today, Jiang Li declined the senior apprentice brother's offer to drive her back, taking her things instead and hailing a cab to the building where Lu Jinye's company was located.

Although Bai Wanyao knew in her heart that Lu Qingshuang's aptitude was on par with Shui Ruoying's, she still felt somewhat nervous. Amidst the chatter of the others, she kept her eyes fixed firmly on the top of the grand gate. When she saw the second star light up, she could not help but cry out in excitement.

"Fine, let's drop that. Tell me, why are you here? Back in Xiangyuan City, I specifically looked for you, but I couldn't find you," Qin Hu asked with a puzzled expression.

Qin Hu and Wang Zhenyu felt that flying straight across like that would be too much of a shortcut. Besides, they had never properly explored the Underworld, so they might as well wander around it for a while first.

At this simple and understated remark from Long Ling, Qin Wuxin and the others were stunned for a moment, and then thunderous cheers erupted throughout the entire Blood Martial Immortal Mansion. They knew Long Ling had succeeded. This man, who had continually performed miracles, had not let them down this time either; he had created another miracle once again.

If they pinned a crime on us later for breaking our word, that would indeed be a headache. Although I don't mind making enemies with them for the sake of my brother, as the saying goes, we are still far too weak right now. We must keep pressing forward, understand?" Qian Yan put on a brave smile and patted Xiao Qingshui's head.

Just as Liang Ye had anticipated, Tang Hao's expression instantly shifted, and then he widened his eyes to stare at Liang Ye. He never expected that on such a very ordinary night, such a huge windfall would be delivered right to his doorstep.

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Although Shangguan Jue usually seemed a bit frivolous and unreliable, his expression at this moment was unexpectedly solemn, perhaps because he understood the gravity of the situation.

Hearing the sound of the drum, Yang Qing flashed out from his room, his body leaping a few times before vanishing beyond a hundred meters away. As he went, the dragon-scale sword bestowed upon him by the Dragon King could be seen strapped across his back.

Seeing Bai Wanyao shake her head, the other elders on the high platform all wore looks of astonishment. After exchanging glances, they cast their gazes back upon Lu Qingshuang, the disciple of the Shui family.

The inside of the tree hollow was a world of its own. Whether the tree itself had attained cultivation and become a spirit or Yuxue was using an illusion technique, the interior space was actually as large as an entire courtyard.

The sea surface centered around Wuchen and Sanwei suddenly plunged downward, and an irresistible wave of energy devoured the ocean within a radius of several kilometers. Everything that came into contact with this repulsive force vanished into the wind one after another.

Xu Qingmo remained very calm. Such things were quite common abroad, and people encountering such situations would usually give a friendly knock on the door to ask if they needed protection. They were also not rare in domestic China—he had once run into such a scene with Lin Youxi in a shopping mall fitting room.

Old Huang was intentionally hidden away by us simply because we didn't want any other unexpected developments to occur. Therefore, under the current circumstances, it is not appropriate to let Old Huang show himself.

To the left of Qianji was the lunatic Kuang Liu, whose fame perhaps predated even Marco's. He had already been renowned twenty years ago, and after the battle with Kizaru, his reputation grew even further.

"No, it isn't," Xu Qingmo answered righteously. Having just tasted Song Yingzhang, he naturally knew her flavor better than anyone else—it was simply, exquisitely delicious.

In an instant, only a white figure appeared on the ground, but in the very next second—

Whether it was just an illusion or not, at that exact moment, I suddenly felt a chill all over my body, as if countless currents of cold air were seeping out from within me. I quickly looked toward the evil ghost just in time to see a talisman shadow enshveloping the entity, after which nothing more could be seen.

"Alright, since that's the case, we believe you. But remember, if anything happens, come find us. We are your brothers!" Zhang Fengshuo and Jiang Wuyi looked intently into Xu Qingmo's eyes.
