Chapter 134: Compatibility

The heavens were kind; on the day of the full-month celebration, the sky was not only clear and boundless, but the temperature was also perfectly pleasant. A gentle breeze brushed against the cheeks, making it impossible for the arriving guests to be in anything but high spirits.

Gu Zhuo arrived a little late because she had to deliver the work-point ledgers to the production team office. By the time she arrived with Yinyin, a large crowd had already gathered at the entrance of the Liu household, standing or sitting in twos and threes. Seeing her approach with Yinyin, many of them stood up. "Qixiu, you're here too?"

Mo Chen crept off the bed, gently pulling open the bedroom door. The dimness in the living room was just like the last time he had woken up.

This was only the beginning. The barren hills and wasteland had not yet been fully developed; the real headache would come once the laborers hired by his parents finished clearing the land and it was time to plant crops.

Tang Xinhai placed the antidote that Tang Ming had produced onto the laboratory bench and began to focus on his research. Upon comparing it with the toxic sample, he was shocked to discover that the antidote was, in fact, genuine.

"Senior Brother Pang is a master of sword cultivation. In the entire inner sect, besides Senior Brother Wan, only Senior Brother Pang has cultivated Sword Intent!" a disciple standing beside Pang Fei remarked.

Now that Su Qin had laid everything out in the open and torn away the pretense, Ye Fei naturally saw no need to treat him with any further courtesy.

Thousand-Blade Spirit nodded and continued to explain the essence of the Thousand-Shadow Execution to him, no longer paying attention to the battle in the distance. After all, she had no interest in the strife; most of the time, she was like a scholar—a scholar studying how to better utilize blades and swords.

Although the curtain of rain blocked the stench of the beast carcasses, some of the more powerful ferocious beasts could still track the scent and find their way there.

The monster looked on with a blank, ignorant expression as Zheng Yi circled around it while holding the rope. Instinctively, it stretched out its claws to struggle.

"Fine, let's do it together. First, let's see what kind of price you're offering." After a moment of thought, Ye Yan nodded. Since the price was the same, he might as well hear the proposal first.

Ling Jiantong grabbed the blade, wanting to offer Yun Yi a guarantee, but the person before her vanished in an instant, leaving the longsword still embedded in her shoulder.

Liu Fei knew she was just waiting for him to lose his temper or retaliate, so he simply clasped his hands behind his back and dodged repeatedly. With his skills, it would likely be harder than reaching the heavens for her to land a hit on him.

If expectations held true, they must have used some method to drive Ziyun into a complete state of demonic obsession, allowing her inner demons to take full control and turn her into their tool for murder.

The next day, the Tang family began hosting a grand, sweeping suitor selection ceremony. For a time, all the wealthy young masters staying at the East Sea Restaurant poured out in full force to attend.

As soon as he stepped inside, a deep sense of intimacy washed over him. He thought that this was his home, after all. No matter what happened, everything would be resolved, because here were the people he loved, and the people who loved him.

"Hmph, who is inciting you to commit a crime?" After a light scoff, Zhou Yi sat up straight and ignored Xing Yue.

Several people in the back caught a glimpse of a figure flickering past the window with their peripheral vision. They knew it must be the person the president was looking for.

"Don't you recognize them? I used to live in the same apartment building as them. Did you forget? We're just here for a quick visit." Liu Shuang fully channeled his former talent as a master deceiver.

Ruyi was also terrified. Her hand, which had struck Situ Qianchen, was still trembling uncontrollably.

Ning Wangshu was surprised and confused by Ning Ying suddenly calling his name. However, he immediately responded and stepped out of the queue.

She suddenly felt a bit embarrassed and turned her head to look around, fearing that others might see them and laugh.

After gaining clarity on many things, He Dan began to think more deeply. He started to ponder why the immensely powerful Great Yuan Dynasty had been driven into a corner by the rapidly rising Great Ming Dynasty, and why their nearly million-strong army was being gradually whittled away by the Ming forces until only a few remained.
