Chapter Sixty: Defiance
After hanging up the phone, Yan Xuan let out a gentle sigh. When Master Zhang Jingsen visited last time, he had mentioned bringing him along to attend a forum. He agreed back then, but never expected how swiftly time would pass, and now the day had nearly arrived.
So much had happened lately that he’d almost forgotten about it entirely. Luckily, he’d taken the Bone Restoration Pill after falling down the stairs; otherwise, he’d still be lying in the hospital now…
If that really were the case, after finishing this job, wouldn’t he be able to just sit at home and collect the money?
Su Zhou sat at the edge of the bed, his mind urging him, “Just lie down, the bed’s right behind you, porridge, just let me rest,” yet his body rebelled, refusing to do even the simplest act of falling back.
“Remember, you’re not to mention what just happened—pretend nothing occurred. If anyone dares say a word, I won’t forgive her,” Cai Yin said, looking at her companions.
Seeing Sun Deli’s gaze directed at Jiang Xia, the bosses immediately understood. To be honest, all their success stemmed from Sun Deli’s engineering projects.
His words were even more poisonous than that slap. He always found a way to carve another hole in my already battered heart, making me taste that piercing pain once again.
He felt a bit sad—just a little—but he couldn’t even tell what he was sad about.
Though he knew that Si Luhen couldn’t eat a thing right now, it was still necessary to have the servants bring up some food.
His sincere roommate was earnestly recommending him, but what he needed least at this moment was such “recommendation.”
Whatever pain or sorrow she might feel in her heart, it meant nothing to Yan Yi.
It wasn’t until the next morning, when knocking on the door brought no reply, that they realized something had happened to Su Bo. Lying in bed soaked with sweat, his body convulsed, froth at his mouth, he muttered some incomprehensible words.
“Haha… haha… haha…” Luo Wusheng laughed wildly, like a beast caged for too long, clutching his shoulder with one hand and his stomach with the other.
Since the incident at the Shadow Beast ruins, Wei He returned to the sect with Yuan Duzi and had been training within its walls ever since.
“I owe nothing to your Black-Voiced tribe, nor do you owe me. As for your hatred, I’ve never cared,” Mei Zhaoling replied calmly, making no move. If Nan Ying insisted on battle, she would not shrink from it.
The Japanese team pressed forward, and faced with Zhang Yunze’s aggressive defense, Kenkawa Yuta proved worthy of his reputation as the super sixth man. His dribbling was steady, protecting the ball completely, not giving Zhang Yunze the slightest chance to touch it.
Some stood and bowed deeply, others left their seats to help Baron. Still others, overcome by emotion, tore at their own arms, scattering blood and flesh in every direction.
After a long while, when that heart-wrenching pain finally faded, Su Mu gulped air greedily, as if drowning.
E Tian’s true form swam like a fish within the giant crocodile’s phantom. When Ye Ge cast his spell, E Tian made no move, letting Ye Ge freely spend his spiritual power on the wind technique.
“I’m asking you a question! Are you still pretending?” Shen Xu grabbed Ye Ge’s arm with his blood-red hand, voice filled with hatred.
He spoke with reason. Whether human or demon, both claimed to be the most spiritual of all beings, but their sensitivity to nature was dwarfed by lesser creatures. Such anomalies were usually sensed by demon birds, either warning of disaster or heralding the arrival of some rare celestial treasure.
A flicker of bewilderment rose in Tan Mu’s icy gaze: Had he really asked Xiao Yin to move Li Xia Tian’s belongings out?
“Congeal!” Han Dong roared, and the flames of Jade Profound Essence on his hand shattered in an instant, dissolving into powder. At the same time, countless pure white rays erupted from his body.
