91. A Clean Break.

By the time Shinguuji Tsuki reached the fourth floor of the old school building, before even entering the student council room at the very back, he could already hear laughter and chatter coming from behind that door.

When he stepped into the room, the long-unseen Yomiya Yao and Yamada Kana seemed to be talking with Hoshinomori Hoshino about what had happened on the school trip. On the coffee table sat a box of freshly unwrapped shrimp crackers from Saka Kaku.

Such a standard souvenir.

“Shajingjing doesn’t have that much brainpower. Three years wouldn’t be enough for her to grow a new one,” Qin Wan said coolly.

“Elder Yiluo once said that anyone who could inherit the Star Sect must understand the world and also see through it; must carry the world in their heart, yet still master themselves and guard their own mind,” Qin Wan said after thinking for a moment.

As one of the ancient Vermilion Bird’s ancient ranks, forcing through it would inevitably cause tremendous damage to his body.

A surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted from Liu Qing’s body. His longsword suddenly left its sheath, turning into a terrifying slash of sword light that shot straight for Feng Hao’s throat.

Now the shattered pieces of the watch were scattered and clinging in a disorderly mess across the surface of the stele. The only thing we had for telling time had been smashed to pieces.

Ye Tianhao and Huo Wanqing stood atop the highest watchtower in Starvane City, with the table before them covered in food and wine.

“All right. If you’ve heard the gossip out there, then don’t call me Young Master anymore,” Tang Shaoling said carelessly, waving a hand.

Just as Ren Feifan was still puzzled, Lin Langtian coughed up a mouthful of blood, and within that blood was unmistakably a crimson formation banner.

The weapons in the two men’s hands clashed again and again. The deafening ring of metal on metal made everyone tremble. Many who saw Ye Tianhao’s ferocity, beating Xuan Han with no chance to strike back, felt a profound shock in their hearts.

“It’s fine. Worst case, we burn it all and replace everything with new,” Tang Shaoling said, motioning for her to step back. His eyes were fixed tightly on Shi Yuanfan, his fighting spirit blazing high.

At the time, Yang Tingshu used that sentence to allude to Yue Xiaofei’s inspection and performance-evaluation system, and it sparked a rather fierce debate.

“Stay by my side. Be my brother! From now on, this place will be your home!” Brother Five said earnestly.

Along the way, the four of them scarcely met anyone from the villages. Only occasionally, at the gate of one household, did they see one or two children playing in front of the door. But the moment they noticed strangers approaching, they would dart straight back inside.

“Give me five white-sugar cakes.” She handed over a handful of copper coins, though her heart was filled with a bitter, aching sorrow.

Though only ten years old, the Tenth Princess had grown up in the imperial court, so she naturally knew to guard against others. She studied Noble Consort Yu carefully. She had no real connection with her in ordinary times, so why was Noble Consort Yu inviting her for a walk today?

In truth, they had also been somewhat frightened by the Shenzhou Army’s blows. Faced with such an unstoppable assault from both the air and the ground, even the most hard-line faction among the imperial court’s war hawks had fallen silent.

Take logging, forging, fishing, and the like, for example. As long as you cut down or destroyed certain objects, you would gain experience.

Before long, I slept all the way into the afternoon. None of us even got up for lunch. I only remember someone groggily calling out to me once, and then there was nothing after that.

“It’s the Auxiliary Prince Jia Mingyong,” Ming Jue said, and there seemed to be a faint, unusual meaning in his tone.

The arrow shot instantly through one of the giant claws the massive wolf was about to bring down, but that same claw also lightly swept Ye Xuan and his bow away in one blow, sending them flying far off.

Watching that crafty, old fox of a chancellor age ten years overnight, Tantai Liuying could not help feeling somewhat guilty as well.

Nangong Yuhuan reached out a hand to touch it. The brocade fruit was as brilliant and soft as clouds at sunset. It felt wonderfully comfortable to the touch.

The eunuch who had come from the palace was already growing impatient, but one was the emperor’s current teacher and the other was the Anhe Commandery Princess recently granted by imperial decree once again. No matter what, he could not afford to offend either of them, so he simply waited patiently.

After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the Kunpeng Ancestor and the Zi family ancestor appeared there once more. Man and beast were exactly as they had been before, with no sign at all that they had gone through a fierce battle.
