Chapter 63: Nothing More

"Alright, I know you all have had a taxing journey. Rest for half a day, and tomorrow we shall head to the Wind and Cloud Pavilion to see our Peace Inn," Su Tang said after Xiang Tian finished speaking.

"Xiang Tian will never let the Proprietress down," Xiang Tian promised, patting his chest.

Su Tang looked at Wu Da, who hurriedly fished a letter from his bosom.

"Proprietress, this is what the Master asked me to bring to you."

Su Tang nodded. Li Qingtian took the letter and placed it before Su.

Guan Yunji nearly broke into loud sobs, but he managed to stifle the pathetic whimpering. Sad and cowardly, he intended to head back home, when suddenly he heard the heavy, slow creak of the sleeping chamber door in the distance.

Mother Jiang always went to bed early; it was past midnight now, and she should have been asleep long ago. Why would she be calling him?

At this moment, Officer Wang spoke up at the right time, confirming that Ye Tian’s words were true and that he had not lied to cover for himself.

Following the instructions in his letter, the Su family cleared away all unnecessary personnel. Su Mingya sat at the eastern side of the square table, with only two top-tier martial arts experts left behind her as guards.

"If not me, then who else could it be?" Chu Yanran broke free from Su Qianyu’s grasp, her tone tinged with grievance.

It was just as the plot dictated; thanks to Tang San’s reminder, everyone helped one another. Dai Mubai and Tang San, both possessing formidable physical stamina, helped the others carry some of the stones.

The Emperor would not do much to Lu Chengqing; a mere remark of "shallow in insight" was enough to completely ruin his official career.

On the phone, Liu Zhihui first expressed his congratulations on Chen Feng becoming a major shareholder of Heyue Real Estate, then asked when Chen Feng might have time to visit the company and provide guidance on their work.

Wu Xin had been so bewitched by Gao Huan’s beauty that he failed to hear the mockery in her words.

"When I first arrived at the Northern Frontier, I led the vanguard. Back then, I was unfamiliar with the Northern Rong people and only knew how to charge forward with the banner."

"When we go to toast the guests later, I will handle them. You mustn't speak, alright?" He Lanxue requested with a pout. Since hard tactics wouldn't work, she had to resort to soft ones.

"Is this your sister-in-law? Zan Yudong—'Zan' as in praise, 'Yu' as in rain, and 'Dong' as in the east. I am a friend of A-Ji’s from Taiwan." Giving Chen Ji a subtle look of approval for his good taste, Zan Yudong proactively introduced himself to Song Jiajia.

A confession long overdue is always the most moving. Junxiu bowed his head slowly and kissed Jieyi sweetly.

"Yu Shuangshuang, I said one look is one look. Don't push your luck." The blond youth retorted angrily and turned his head away.

Forget it. Whether it is a trap or not, this place is remote enough. The area is sparsely populated, with only one or two households every great distance. This situation is sufficient for setting up; it is unlikely that any irrelevant people will appear.

Perhaps the voices were a bit too loud, for Taira actually opened his eyes slowly under Conan’s gaze.

Tomorrow is the college entrance exam. It is this time on the mainland, and it is the same in Hong Kong. Walking through the village, Chen Ji sensed a change in the atmosphere. The young men helping to repair the road and the construction workers talked of nothing but the exam.

A pale white seal line was clearly visible before his eyes. To enter the cave, one had to break the seal, but if doing so triggered an unnecessary catastrophe, it would not be worth the attempt.

"How can this be—" The two youths from the Mysterious Mirror Sect widened their eyes in disbelief, finding everything before them inconceivable.

The calm voice reached me, yet it exerted immense pressure. Had these people truly discovered me? But how could they possibly know of my existence? Could it be that because of Jin Ledie, they investigated my ancestors back eighteen generations?

They were the Palace Masters of the Starry Constellation Hall, high and mighty figures who usually disdained to strike at a junior. However, having lost several men to their opponent, they were forced to step forward, lest the reputation of the Starry Constellation Hall be left in tatters.
