Chapter 59: The Hypocrite

Tang Yi smiled faintly and said, “Aunt Li has already apologized; we all heard it. But Tang Baoyu hasn’t apologized at all. Besides, I don’t think my mother’s request is unreasonable. After what he did to me, isn’t it only fair for him to experience the same? Isn’t that what he deserves?”

Tang Dafu, standing nearby, added, “Exactly. Why do you keep having Baoyu’s mother apologize? The person who should apologize most is Tang Baoyu, isn’t it?”

“You care about your son, but we care about ours, too.”

His fingers gently rubbed the pill in his hand. Its mysterious patterns shimmered, releasing an aura that stirred the energy within Xiao Yan, making it surge and boil with restlessness.

“I just don’t know—I’ve never known—whether she really likes me, why she’s with me, or whether she cares about me at all.” As the alcohol took hold, Gu Weiran’s emotions grew hazy, and his words finally revealed a trace of his true feelings.

Ling Baolu nodded, grabbed the soft ladder, and stepped onto it. The pilot, considerate of her, had those inside pull up the ladder as she climbed.

When Shi Haiyan saw the grim look on her husband’s face and heard his harsh tone, she realized that Wu Rong’s trip this time had not brought any good news.

The sudden cry startled everyone, making them look anxiously in the direction of the sound. But once they saw what had happened, a collective sigh of relief swept through the crowd.

When she saw Zhao Yi capture Zhang Fei single-handedly, she realized that Zhao Yi was probably the only man in Fanyang County who could marry her. Even the hardest task was better than waiting endlessly without hope.

“...” Yin Shixiu drew a shallow breath. It seemed he really ought to find a chance to sit down and have some tea with old Mr. Zhou Guangren.

“I’ll go back to my room,” Ling Baolu said, almost fleeing toward her door. But as she took a step, she suddenly realized that to reach her room, she would have to pass by him.

Understanding what she meant, Master Xie immediately held his breath, pulled out several talismans to ward off evil, and braced himself for whatever might come. All he hoped now was that the unknown thing wasn’t too difficult to handle.

Wu Sanniang gazed down at us, her eyes full of melancholy. Or perhaps she wasn’t really looking at us at all, but rather gazing through time, holding a grudge against my grandfather and great-grandfather deep in her heart.

With all this banter, all the worries seemed to dissolve away. No matter how big the problem, in the end, it was nothing more than a laugh. Perhaps true reconciliation is just like this—a smile erases old grievances.

And it wasn’t just a simple mixture either. Zhang Yi had spent two hundred thousand to purchase large quantities of these four miraculous medicines and had someone refine them into one potent compound.

Meier could only shake her head, then reluctantly nod. It seemed the young master really was gravely ill.

Since they were now students of the Hidden Dragon Academy, shouldn’t the whole academy be open to them?

A figure, tall as an arrow, shot out like lightning toward Dong Huang Tianyi, who had fallen. With a sweep of true energy, he brought him back.

Early the next morning, Song Ming and Sima Xiaoyao received word from Huangfu Yuntao. Without any hesitation, they immediately chose to leave.

The Grand Tournament of the Ten Continents was a magnificent event and certainly the grandest in all the realms. No one would dare disrupt it. To cause trouble here, in Central Continent, where the ten great families’ influence reached every corner—how could anyone escape their watchful eyes?

“Very well, let’s do as you suggested. There are so few people I can use here—I’ll have to rely on you friends for help,” Shangguan Long nodded at last, deciding to adopt Song Ming’s proposal.

We had no choice but to turn back. The same was true to the west; there was no wall on either side. It seemed there were only southern and northern walls. This city must have been built in the middle of a passage, so it only had two walls.

Standing before him, she didn’t have the courage to argue. The moment their eyes met, she felt as if all her thoughts had been laid bare, and she was left feeling exposed and miserable.

If not this, the only other option was to go to the seaside, to return to the place where the Fire Tribe had first come ashore.
