Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Eccentric-Looking Old Man

In Bai Ji’s guest room.

After the harrowing ordeal they had just endured, Qin Xiaomo, Lu Shuling, and Huang Li washed up and went to Bai Ji’s room, seeking to discuss the day’s events with her. Upon hearing that they had been dragged underground by a sinister force in the backyard, Chaofeng and Bai Ji were visibly shocked, their faces betraying both astonishment and a hesitance to speak.

“What is it? Is there something we should know?” Lu Shuling was the first to break the silence.

Bai Ji glanced at Chaofeng, took a deep breath, and said, “What I’m about to tell you must never be spoken of outside this room.”

The three nodded in agreement.

“In fact, before you went to seek out the place of extreme yin, Chaofeng and I were originally searching for the fire of life…”

Perhaps it was out of revenge for Lei Yunhan’s infidelity, or perhaps she simply sought solace in her vulnerability; she chose to live with the one who had saved her life.

Nangong Xiao was well aware of Lin Dongyang’s circumstances. To be honest, he had no intention of getting involved at first. But after seeing Bai Youran join in yesterday, curiosity got the better of her. She wondered, if she too became involved, how would Lin Dongyang respond? That was why she came today, hoping to ride the wave of attention.

When Professor Wang saw the two embracing, his eyes flickered, and he quietly left the room, giving the couple some privacy.

Lin Dongyang did not answer Musi Qi immediately. Instead, he fell silent for more than ten seconds. He had already guessed her intentions when they visited the headquarters of Crescent Animation Club, but faced with her earnest question, he felt he should consider it carefully.

At this moment, Lin Donglai felt as if he had entered a state where man and sword became one. With a sudden twist of his wrist, a cold gleam flashed, and a fierce, domineering surge of sword energy swept forth.

I got up and added more wood to the fire, making the whole area warm and cozy.

Meanwhile, he spread his spiritual sense out again, sweeping through the entire Tao family residence and its surroundings again and again.

Liu Qifeng and Li Fu, upon hearing this, felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their pores exhaling cold air as they shivered uncontrollably.

“Your brother-in-law saw your injured leg and was heartbroken. That’s probably why he provoked you like that. You don’t know—when he brought you back last night, he was covered in wounds too. The doctor wanted to treat him, but he refused, saying he wouldn’t rest until your injuries were taken care of first,” Zhan Mianmian said.

These months of bloodshed have exhausted me. When I get out, I have no desire to continue working under her command.

Lu Rongweng was startled as he watched from the bow of the ship. For someone as young as Shangguan Yun to possess such formidable martial arts skills, especially such peerless lightness techniques—if he had truly meant him harm a moment ago, there would have been no escape.

At this moment, Lin Lan also spoke coldly to Ye Feng. Hearing this, Ye Feng felt a sharp pain in his chest. This must have happened when he went to Rui Feng Shopping Center earlier, and they persuaded Lin Aoxue to divorce him.

Where once his body had been as black as coal, now not a trace of black remained, not even a hint of grey.

Ning Jiuer laughed charmingly, stepping back a few paces to stand a full two yards away. It turned out she possessed martial skills herself, and not weak ones at that—her lightness technique was far from ordinary.

The blood-red flowers bloomed with such beauty, their fragrance intoxicating. In the end, both figures were swallowed by the sea of crimson.

But now that the Dharma Form had shattered, his sole was inevitably pierced by those thorny iron spikes.

Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Lin Aoxue’s heart was warmed; she truly felt grateful to have met Ye Feng and to have become his wife.

While he himself was not yet affected, he could not guarantee the same for others. At this thought, he picked up his phone without hesitation.

“That shouldn’t be a problem. There’s no way he’ll know it was us,” Ma Ke’er said with relief.

The scalpel slashed through the air with a fierce gleam, then transformed into a palm that struck Xuanyuan Jiexiang’s face without warning.

Even if she hadn’t heard it, wouldn’t there still be a missed call notification? Wouldn’t she call Qianqian back after seeing it?
