Volume 1, Chapter 24: The True Assessment
"Finally, I have advanced to the rank of Limit Ability User! No more need to act with such trepidation as before!" Lin Yun laughed with excitement, feeling his entire body brimming with power.
In high spirits, he hummed a tune and straightened his clothes before heading out.
Upon reaching the second floor's north sector, he found the usually lifeless prison buzzing with activity. The guards were all beaming with joy, as if they were celebrating a festival.
Lin Yun curiously asked Old Zhao what was going on.
Old Zhao grinned from ear to ear. "Haha, Little Lin, a major figure has just emerged within our Ability Prison. Now, everyone knows just how formidable our facility is! Hahaha!"
Lin Yun was stunned. What Old Zhao was saying... could it be himself?
...
Hearing Hu Qing'er's words, Lin Yun smiled slightly. Hu Qing'er initially thought Lin Yun was about to respond, but to her surprise, he didn't speak. Instead, his space ring flashed, and four Emperor-grade forbidden artifacts appeared in his hands.
Taeyeon watched Du Youjia and Yoona, who were deep in a heated discussion, clearly birds of a feather. Hoping they would manage to wrap things up properly, she shook her head in resignation and joined the plot to prank Seohyun.
"Sixth Brother, you had best not stir up trouble, or I shall kill you with no consequences," the First Prince, Hou Ba, said coldly, too lazy to offer any explanation for Hou Tianchuan's words.
Lelouch shook his head, rejecting Aster's proposal. He did not know exactly what was happening, but time could no longer be delayed. The troops had assembled on schedule; even with his mounting sense of foreboding, he could wait no longer. The all-out offensive had to proceed.
The night passed without incident. The next day, Xu Dashan intended to have Xie Jingmeng stay in the space while he returned to the country, but the girl insisted on sharing his hardships.
After saying so much, Yan Qi still hadn't revealed his purpose for visiting today. Hearing Lin Yun's question, he remained silent for a moment before speaking.
"Senior Martial Sister... I understand your good intentions now. And you didn't avoid me back then because you were wary of me, but because you didn't want to pressure your master or escalate my conflict with Lang Tianxing prematurely," Jiang Yun said, his eyes reddening.
Whenever Du Youjia couldn't find something, he was used to ignoring it, as searching often made things harder to locate. Yet, this ticket seemed determined to frustrate him, failing to appear even by Christmas Eve.
The crowd roared with excitement. It had been a long time since they had seen such an enthusiastic fan turnout for a concert, but once they remembered who was performing, it all seemed normal—after all, they were a special existence that had carried the youth of so many for a decade.
However, aside from those present, no one knew that four elders had been hiding in the void, their auras unmistakably those of mighty Demon Monarch-level experts.
The spirit mountains of the world are home to many spirits and monsters. These beings are not particularly powerful and do not harm humans, mostly subsisting on birds and insects. Yet, they possess considerable intelligence, and some, once enlightened, can even communicate with humans.
When the group saw Zhang Yu return with the Demon Blade and an incredibly handsome stranger, their gazes turned suspicious.
Yue Zhong’s inspection results seemed to confirm all this. Now that he had temporarily escaped the pervasive surveillance of A-Sector, he finally had time to prepare for his own affairs.
Otherwise, those who targeted the new master of the Genesis Fate Compass would inevitably invite him to participate in the "Slaying of Evil."
In reality, young and beautiful蠱 witches are sometimes even more dangerous. Isn't there a saying? The more beautiful the exterior, the more dangerous it is.
Bai Zhengli nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand, ordering the departure. The others were ready; once the Chengtian Base personnel moved their vehicles to clear space, they pulled their own vehicles forward for Bai Zhengli and his team to board.
Zu Dashou was truly incensed. By acting this way, Wu Sangui clearly no longer considered his uncle one of his own.
"Sit," Araman nodded. Kuela was indeed the Minister of Foreign Affairs, but he was also a member of the Saudi royal family; by blood, he was his cousin.
Tianmu Peak lies right beside Tianmu Village. Xun Che and I walked up the mountain along the trail. The peak itself isn't very steep, but the trail is in a state of severe disrepair.
"I..." Xiao Feng started to deny it, but considering their current situation, he realized that denying it would be unmanly.
The Phantom Wood Porcelain Plate is joint property of the Hidden Family Alliance. It wasn't the first time it had appeared in the grand tournament, and in years with too many gunners, it was almost always seen. Many contestants had suffered damage to their spirit seas because of it.
Before leaving, I looked suspiciously at the clothes I had draped over the Golden Boy. Why did they seem like adult clothing?
"I'm willing, I'm willing," she said twice, burying her head deep in his chest.
Zhu Dan was dazzled by the sight. Although there was an endless array of goods, he didn't make any purchases. First, he had little money and needed it as seed capital; second, he lacked the discerning eye to guarantee he could unearth a treasure.
"Why go on a blind date with me? And why continue seeing each other?" I asked seriously.
"You even know who did it?" I looked toward Rabbit Mom's head to see if there was a halo, as she truly resembled a prophet.
When Wu San walked behind the holly tree, Jiang Changyang had already emerged, followed closely by Pan Rong and Liu Chang, who was carrying a child. It wasn't a good time to talk, so Wu San gestured toward the gate, indicating that Peony had already left. Jiang Changyang gave a subtle nod in response.
Jiang Yunqing wept silently for a while before wiping her tears, sitting upright, and staring blankly at the gold-embroidered silk curtains on the carriage.
After Yueyue and UU left, I spent the whole morning busy putting the gifts back into their boxes, wrapping them exactly as they were. I was drenched in sweat, but my heart felt wonderful. Being pampered and even indulged like this felt great; even my mother had never been so accommodating to me.
