22. Heartache

It stands to reason that under the arrangement of the space, this elder—who was destined to die in a timeline diverging from true history—could not have known of Li Zhishi’s origins. Yet, after only a few brief encounters, he understood that Li Zhishi harbored no loyalty or sense of belonging toward the Great Song imperial court.

"Guess~" Su Moqian traced slow circles outside my body, his fingers slipping inside, stroking my silkiness.

Suddenly, the barrier that had been blocking the Raptor dropped down, obstructing the path of the Porsche instead.

"I’m sorry, Duoduo. That day was my fault. These two items are to make amends. As long as you aren’t angry, when I get off work, I’ll offer you my face to slap." This was the note left by Weiliang.

I nodded, my thoughts still lingering on Su Moqian’s scrutinizing gaze. A chill ran down my spine, and a heavy sense of unease rose in my heart.

"Senior Brother, what exactly is going on that requires such secrecy?" Zhusha asked, looking at Bai Shan with suspicion.

Chen Jiancong stared unblinkingly at the palm shadows, as if everything else around him had become irrelevant. His spirit seemed captured by those shadows, unable to break free.

"Poisoned by what? Tell me!" Hong Wan’an felt a sudden chill in his heart. He seemed to have realized something, but to avoid shaking the morale of his troops, his expression remained stern.

"Didn't you say earlier that we could form a team by completing specific tasks?" Li Zhishi asked.

They traveled from morning until afternoon. The horses were growing tired, yet their destination was still more than an hour away. Under the setting sun, everyone felt exhausted; after such a long and bumpy journey, their bodies had lost much of their strength.

It is said that Lord Xia specifically channeled the waters of the Milky Way here, which is why the ice garden remains unfrozen in this climate, creating a breathtakingly beautiful landscape.

Mo Li did not intentionally release his emotions. He held Nangong Ling’s hand and flew into the distance, toward mountains covered in endless snow and peaks blanketed in white—serene and cold.

In his memory, Gu Chuan was nothing but a complete waste. With only a first-stage innate Star Power, he had no possibility of awakening a beast soul. How could he suddenly be able to use Star Power?

"Fine, fine, ignore me if you want. Don't think I'm so desperate to manage you," Piaowuzong muttered discontentedly.

The interlaced patterns in his mind all shared one commonality: endless slaughter. Almost every race possessed fierce arts of combat and methods of offense and defense.

Could it be the Han family from the defense of Chenliu, who had promised to give their twin daughters to him?

Unfortunately, Nangong Yingmeng refused to listen to Ni Ping’er’s dissuasion, determined to stay and help them.

"I’m fine!" a slightly dazed Mo Li murmured. He turned to gaze at the molten pillar again, sitting cross-legged, letting his mind wander as he listened carefully, earnestly, and pondered deeply.

She wanted to say more, but a squeeze on her arm from Liu Siyan made her realize that when Xu Yiming spoke of Guo Mi, his expression was solemn; he was not joking. She also realized that the relationship between Xu Yiming and Guo Mi was not normal.

"Meng’er, you hide here; I will go fetch the Yellow Bee Nectar," Lin Qingxuan said as he climbed onto the bank. If his sister wanted it, he would find a way to get it.

Mo Fan watched the shifting expressions on Shen Jinsheng’s face. Although he did not yet know the purpose of this Shen family elder’s visit, he decided to frighten him once more.

Lin Yumeng’s words exploded like a bomb above the arena. The students of average strength, unaware of these matters, looked on in confusion, while those ranked highly on the Heavenly List had their expressions shift constantly.

"I’m telling the truth; I really didn't lie to you." Nie Wei felt helpless. She knew how credible her story sounded, but she truly wasn't lying; that was how it happened.

As soon as they entered the police station, officers recognized Qiu Lian and greeted him one after another. It seemed Qiu Lian was quite well-liked.

I looked at Uncle De with some trepidation, stepped through the doorway, and sat obediently across from him at an angle.

Yun Que’er knew the time had come. Her eyes seemed to hold the Dragon King, and tears flowed instantly like broken strands of pearls. She looked like a fallen flower ravaged by wind and rain, a pitiable sight.

"Brother Yu, why don't you tell me the password, I..." Chen Luoluo looked at Xia Haoyu. Despite having a thousand words to say, she could only press her lips together, unable to voice them.

It would not be easy to collect them in a short time; some extraordinary means would have to be used. Moreover, if people like Shana were to enter the summoning space, their growth in power would be quite significant.

Chen Tian extended his right hand to gently touch the vine of the World Tree fragment. The vine seemed joyful, wrapping around his hand in response.

"That’s because I offered a higher price," Zhang Tiansong said with a smug smile. He then recounted how he met Shi Yu, how Shi Yu resisted his series of threats and inducements, refusing to betray his master for wealth and glory even at the cost of his life, and finally, how he hadn't even hidden his own intentions.

Yiyi immediately picked up the other wine pot near her, stood up, and followed suit, pouring wine for Golden Swallow.
