Chapter 49: Everyone Knows How to Play the Game

Everyone knows how to put on a show; everyone knows how to play along with the game.

Xu Yu nearly skipped as she left the Nanshan Villa.

Perhaps it was because she looked so pitiful, Shen Liangyan unusually sent a driver to take her home.

Xu Yu contacted a real estate agent.

She quickly calculated her savings and pawned all her jewelry at the gold shop.

Including the little Pixiu on her ankle.

...

After all, the entire Tianyuan Sect did not have many members. Even counting every disciple from the lower realms, there were only tens of thousands. What’s more, those who could enter this magical treasure in the future would all be core disciples. As for the others, Ye Lingtian would naturally arrange for them to be stationed on the outskirts.

As they spoke, a flying car hovered before them. The Earl boarded it without a trace of surprise; after all, as a high-ranking figure from the Star Wars universe, he’d seen these commonplace things countless times. The hover car lifted off, soaring away from the ground, finally parking on the platform at the very top.

“Jun Gui is a proud child. He doesn’t like you, and you, old friend, couldn’t be bothered to help him. You keep tossing out empty words to fool me—do you really think my illness has muddled my mind?” Guo Wei’s tone and address had become casual and rude, but his voice remained calm, his eyes filled with mockery.

This sword duel was entirely devoid of the scent of gunpowder. Rather than a contest of swords and martial arts, it was more like a splendid sword dance.

“Damn! I’ve been discovered!” Old Liang suddenly broke his silence. “They’ve got powerful bio-weapons in their hands! B+ rating! More than thirty of them! Requesting support!” One could imagine the predicament of Old Liang, the voyeur, suddenly facing a fierce siege by formidable bio-weapons released by his adversaries.

“Don’t go touching other people so casually!” Brunhilde leaped onto the top of the tank, waved her fist at Uncle Four, making it clear that if he tried it again, she’d hit him.

“Yes, Lord City Master.” The soldier at the door, though still unaware of Li Huailin’s identity, could tell from the city master’s demeanor that he was someone important. He saluted Li Huailin and went out to relay the order.

These are all key reasons why domestic single-player games are gradually declining, but for Chen Xin, they’re not difficult to resolve.

Physical recovery is only a matter of the body. Jiang Feng’s body had healed, but now he faced a much more serious issue. Cracks had appeared on his restored flesh, radiating fiery energy from within. And around the cracks, his skin would freeze.

Ghost Dread sighed; all eight Rank Eight Gu Immortals present supported the alliance, while the dissenters hadn’t even come. They merely sent insignificant, peripheral Gu Immortals from their clans to attend, subtly expressing their stance.

If you insist on some kind of promise, all I can do is prioritize your families; the rest is nonsense.

Now that no outsiders remained, the two sisters held each other and wept. Xun Meili said to Xu Fenghua, “Young Master Bai treats us well. If we stay, we’ll have someone to rely on. Why must you leave, sister?”

“Dai Jin, how’s Nu’er lately? I haven’t had time to visit her, and you’ve worked hard.” The prince rarely uttered a decent sentence, yet it still made Dai Jin feel deeply disgusted.

Hearing this, none of the palace servants dared to breathe, fearing Lady Yan would seize on the moment to vent her anger.

The path Ma Wulong provided was certainly an ideal place for murder. The farther we walked, the fewer buildings appeared. Now, Old Luo and I were surrounded by lush, towering trees.

Yet I truly couldn’t understand—she didn’t need to come watch me play football, nor did she have to ask me to accompany her to performances.

The reason for suspecting Du Cangsong was that, though the Immortal Realm had many immortals with higher ranks, when it came to martial strength, he believed there were no more than thirty people who could drive him into the Immortal Spirit Mirror.
