Chapter 87: The Scholar Who Studied "The Plum in the Golden Vase" (5/10 Requesting First Subscription)

Wow, what a lively scene! Seeing Xu Chengjun enter, Zhang Peiheng, who was busy washing vegetables, hurriedly set them aside. Water droplets clung to her apron as she called out, “Chengjun, you’re here! Come in! Today, to send you off, the teacher’s house is bustling for once.”

Before Xu Chengjun could react, a woman in her thirties suddenly slapped his shoulder. She was slender, her hair cropped short in the popular bob style of the time, the ends neatly framing her face.

Wheel Mother displayed her skills as if they cost nothing, though due to his full health, her skin effects could not be used.

“This time, the matter at Black Mountain will be handled by Commander Luo Guang, the rest of you will assist,” Luo Ziyi’s gaze fell upon a young man in the hall.

Thus, the old man pondered how to quell the fury of the other eleven clans—letting Zhan Yan, the heir of the Zhan family, personally test the medicine for them. This would be a gesture of goodwill from the Zhan family.

She was Fang Wei’s second wife, named Zhao Yaxin. She, too, was skilled in martial arts, but since marrying Fang Wei, she had ceased wandering the martial world. The recent words from Second Lady Fang had undoubtedly stirred the locked strength within her heart. Qi Jing, holding Zhao Yaxin’s hand, laughed.

“You villain, don’t touch me! Just wait, as soon as I find my brother, I’ll have him kill you and destroy your Yinsha Sect!” Wang Ziyan’s voice trembled, her hands pressed to the ground, her body shaking in terror.

Had he not arrived in a familiar star domain, he might have suspected that he had crossed into an even more powerful cultivation universe.

Having been so ignored, the Sixth Saint’s fury erupted. He roared, springing forward, his black staff trailing afterimages and whistling through the air as it descended upon Su Chi’s head.

True masters of the cultivation world are prophets who can pierce the secrets of heaven. Yet such calculations require immense magical power, even the burning of one’s lifespan. If handled improperly, the backlash of fate can be severe.

Xue Manxin seemed not to care about Ancient Wood Cliff at all, though the latter was already fuming, pointing furiously at Xue Manxin.

He bent down quietly, picking up the three coins, so Li Yanran wouldn’t notice anything unusual.

Zi Lu understood well how eager Chenfeng was to return to Cangyun, so she made a solemn promise.

Chen Yu’s mind was a jumble of thoughts, oblivious to the fact that Yin Zhao and Lin Shan were not worried for his safety in the slightest.

“Pfft, hahahaha, you really are a treasure! Being with you is always so much fun~” With that, the girl wiped the sweat from her hands on my shirt.

It turned out that, after poisoning the old emperor, Nan Chongli feigned concern, frequently visiting the palace under the pretense of caring.

Murong Sheng had long sensed someone in the inner hall, but the presence was ordinary, most likely Zhao Qian.

Yan Changqing disguised himself as a beggar, twenty thousand Imperial Guards changed their armor for plain clothes and followed at his sides, along with Liu Dapan and his two thousand three hundred strong Imperial City Guard.

“It’s a token of gratitude, not a gift. It would be rude to refuse, you should accept it!” Peng Yuanhua had already tucked the gold leaf into her bosom.

If the empress knew that he had coaxed her with a thousand taels of gold just to get her to come home, one could only imagine what she might think.

“Ah Wan.” He gently called my name. He rarely spoke in that tone. Had it been before, I would have been weak in the knees or overjoyed, but now my heart was filled only with boundless fear.

Sometimes… being a scoundrel isn’t easy, especially when guilt still lingers within you.

Yet, it vaguely sensed that its origins were tied to the Dragon Clan, and only by entering the Dragon Realm could it uncover its true lineage.

Moreover, just from observing those four white-bearded elders and Long Xingkong, it was clear that this so-called Cosmic Alliance was riddled with corruption.
