Chapter 93: Seizing the Initiative

Bai Huan greeted him with a smile and said softly, “No need to rush. Let’s talk over there.”

The visitor understood at once. He quickly fell silent, steadied himself, and followed Bai Huan to a deserted spot.

Bai Huan asked anxiously, “What happened?”

“The eldest young master, the eldest young master has gone missing.”

Bai Huan was thunderstruck. “What do you mean, missing? What on earth happened?”

“We were supposed to be traveling with the eldest young master, but later the head of the family said that for safety’s sake, the spices and the competitors…”

This set of rules for the sword duel was worked out after he gathered more than twenty members of the fourth generation to discuss it, and it was quite fair.

The emotions that had been on the verge of spilling over in Qin Shu’s heart suddenly lost their momentum, and she let out a low laugh.

This sanctuary was a ruin, hidden deep within a densely overgrown forest far from human habitation and surrounded by vast thickets of withered shrubs.

Even under Jiuyou’s doubled regenerative power, mere shattered scales were instantly replaced by new, resilient serpent scales.

Wang Cuihua collapsed onto the cold floor, unable to stop crying out Cao Wei’s name over and over.

“Cao Wei! Cao Wei! How can you not even recognize my voice? How can you hang up on me? Don’t you know I’m thinking of you? Don’t you know how awful I feel right now? Don’t you know I’m waiting for you?”

“Don’t worry, miss. Everywhere inside and out will be ours. You only need to find an opportunity and arrange for someone to get into the residence,” said Hua Nu.

Did they really think themselves some great prize? If they wanted to keep dragging this out, fine—Glory Entertainment would never bow to a newcomer.

When Lin Shan was still working on this project, she had heard of that CEO Gu: a young and promising man. It was just that before, only the managers of the Gu Group’s projects had ever appeared in public; the CEO himself had never shown his face.

They could only torment each other, as though only in that torment could they feel the faint difference the other held for them. After all, hatred was a fierce emotion no less intense than love.

Before leaving the Frozen Illusion King City, Ye Han had laid down a teleportation array deep within the River of Forgetfulness. He never told anyone. There was someone there whom he wished to protect, and no matter when, he would guard that land of ice and snow.

On the distant Blue Mountain, Shi Nuoyu could not help wanting to rise, but he realized that he had already exhausted his strength and could no longer will his body to obey.

In order to cover up the fact that they had also taken part in hiding the truth from their sister-in-law, Luo Cantong and Zhuang Xiao seized the chance to heap on flattery.

Seeing the plaque hanging over the gate, Lin Yifeng wondered what sort of extraordinary person could live inside and dare to use such an arrogant name.

Not far away, Qin Feng—smiling as he conversed with a Russian colonel—gave an almost imperceptible nod. He seemed either to have seen nothing of what was happening here, or to have seen and heard everything.

“Uncle Zhang, then what good method do you have for taking out the Sword of Immortality?” Guo Xiaomei asked in return.

Tang Xin was a name every living being in the world knew with absolute familiarity, a figure who in the Cloudsoar Continent seemed nothing short of a miracle.

Fortunately, in the end, the Huang family employed their powerful methods and brought out the finest medicinal elixir, Marrow Cleansing Powder, completely reversing the defeat and driving the Wang family pharmacy out of the competition.

Although to this day Zhang Zixuan still did not know what the final round would be, or what the other side intended to compare with Lin Yifeng, the mere fact that they had invited a martial artist was enough to make it clear that the last contest would definitely not be simple.

Wang Dadan hated them—hated everyone in the Huang family. It was precisely because of the Huang family that ever since he came down the mountain, he had repeatedly met with setbacks; and now his body had been beaten into serious injury by Huang Xuanzhi, so badly that he would need to lie in bed for more than half a year before recovering.

“Thank you. There’s one more question: who pays the fee?” An Ping could not work for nothing. Since Bai Hua had told him that, he had to raise the issue now; otherwise, once the matter was finished, who would he go to?

The ancestor of the Yun family, Yun Shen, had once possessed one, but after that there had been no further news of Chaos Fire. Even if she had treasure-seeking skills, there was no guarantee she could find it.

“What, the age of obedience and virtue is already over? Now I’m going to stay by your side. I’m going to watch you every moment. Otherwise, the moment I turn away, you’ll be holding some fox spirit in your arms—what am I supposed to do then?” It had to be said, this Snow Velvet Flower truly left You Meng utterly speechless.
