Chapter 64: Young Master!

Dining in the main hall, sharing a table with strangers? Zhao Ming’s face twitched violently. Damn, wasn’t this a slap in the face? He’d told everyone he’d booked a private room, and now he was being made to sit in the main hall and share a table? What would his classmates think of him? Zhao Ming wasn’t particularly wealthy—otherwise, he wouldn’t be using the internal price to book the room. But even so, this was something he couldn't accept...

Just as I realized things were going badly, a chaotic clatter of footsteps echoed from outside the room. Hearing the tumult, it seemed as if dozens of people had surrounded us.

The Wang family had only one son, the sole heir. Even Wang himself was reluctant to discipline him harshly. Now, someone had beaten him so badly that even his father barely recognized him.

Chan Jue insisted, wearing a pitiable expression, begging at least to be allowed to take the boy home, so that he could answer to the entire Chan Sect.

Without the instrument of law in hand, entering the main tomb would require even the most exalted saints to spend considerable time and energy.

“Demon Dragon? I killed it.” Xiang Gangtian spoke plainly, hiding nothing from the three others.

The Demon Tiger shuddered, let out a despairing roar, and collapsed, writhing on the ground as blood streamed in thin lines from its neck.

This was a true god who commanded the essence of the five elements. With him intervening, even other true gods coveting the treasure would find it hard to succeed—unless they themselves descended upon the Five Elements Sect. But if they did, it would be tantamount to declaring war on the sect. Besides, this was their domain; even if those true gods arrived in person, they might not gain any advantage.

Even now, no matter how seductive and wanton Qin Miaoyin appeared, it wasn’t truly her choice. If she were to claim “you forced me, I consented” as an excuse, she’d inevitably owe favors and bear grudges afterward.

That delicate silhouette fell into the eyes of Yuan Mengrong and Zhou Youbai, appearing so helpless and pitiable.

For a moment, it was as if the whole world had been abandoned by the God of Light. The moon replaced the sun, and the beautiful night sky made it hard to believe that only a moment ago, everyone had been clamoring for lunch.

“This wine was given to me by the county leaders at the start of the year when I attended a meeting. I’ve never had the heart to open it, but today, let’s have a taste.” The instructor placed the wine on the table, then fetched two white porcelain cups from the kitchen, sitting down at the table as well.

“I’ll call my sister right away and get every doctor at the health bureau to examine you!” Situ Yaling said as she pulled out her phone.

It was precisely Gu Sheng’s confusion that prompted Chu Li to reconsider the whole matter’s origins and consequences. In ancient times, even if Xiao Yunxi fancied Xiao Yunzhong, she would never make it obvious. But now, judging by her actions, she made no effort to hide her feelings.

Xia Ling’s eyes brimmed with anger, her tears threatening to fall. Her grandfather believed and defended Tang Xiangnuan without question. Xia Ling was the one with the family name, and to her, Tang Xiangnuan was merely an outsider. Yet in her grandfather’s heart, Xia Ling had become the outsider, no longer qualified to speak for the Xia family.

“It’s not just that. Lin Nan’s family is quite pleased with her, too. I don’t even know if what I’m doing now is right or wrong.” Tian Xiao suddenly lost confidence, his face growing pale.

Not a single piece remained... Only a lonely row of city walls stood, battered by wind and frost, proving that the Tross region had indeed once existed.

Below, everyone stared in terror. What had once been a barren valley was now fully transformed into a glacial gorge. Such astonishing power, especially in the divine realm, made everyone gasp in shock.

After all, he was merely the Crown Prince of Qin; the King of Qin had no shortage of sons. Besides, this city lord had his family behind him. With their influence, he truly had nothing to fear from the Crown Prince of Qin.
