Chapter 1154: Teacher Lu Yang

"Senior Brother Dai should be sending someone to pick me up, right?"

Lu Yang remarked, knowing Senior Brother Dai's kind nature; he surely wouldn't leave him stranded and helpless in the perilous far north.

"Until the sect sends someone, we should keep a low profile and treat this as a trial of living a mortal life in the secular world."

"Is Little Lu there?" Murong You's voice drifted in from outside the door.

"Come in, please."

Murong You pushed the door open, entering with a cheerful expression of concern for Lu Yang: "Are you adjusting well to staying here? If you run into any trouble, just let me—"

After all, fools of that previous idiot's caliber were exceedingly rare; those capable of becoming the heads of powerful and influential families had emerged from multi-faceted competition, meaning not a single one of them was truly stupid.

The workers for this quarry were all recruited from local farmers nearby, and through Li Jianjun, several local tractors were hired; thus, the quarry officially commenced operations, with mounds of sand and stone being sifted and piled upon the riverbank like heaps of golden sand.

Upon the boundless expanse of the sea, wind and rain lashed violently as colossal waves overturned the heavens, and leaden, dark clouds converged from all directions, casting a heavy solemnity over the entire sky, while an endless, densely packed beast tide surged forward grandly astride the roaring tsunami, driving onlookers to the brink of collapse.

"You!" Hearing Granny Leng insult his friend, Fu Tianci was instantly filled with rage; after all, Shiyuan was a friend he had invited to help, so how could he remain completely unresponsive to such a denigration by Granny Leng? For a moment, heedless of Granny Leng's profound cultivation, he immediately wished to retort.

Afterward, Mr. Shishi told Director Tsutsumi to come and pick him up. Aboard the Peace, Director Tsutsumi did not ask Mr. Shishi what he had done; he suspected Mr. Shishi knew something, but since the commander did not wish to speak of it, he had no intention of asking.

Ten minutes later, Yi Kai opened the ward door to check if she had changed into her clothes, but upon entering, he saw that everything remained completely untouched, and she still lay motionless on the bed; he immediately left the ward and walked to the front desk, asking a nurse to go in and help Yuxuan change.

Who in all of Xiangping did not know that the martial-loving young master, Gongsun Du, was accompanied by an elderly, aura-hardened warrior? While others might have only heard of it, as the defending general, he had truly witnessed it many times.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Nie Feng, while carrying Bu Jingyun away in retreat, also began to recount to him most of the events that had transpired between himself, Qin Shuang, and the Under Heaven Society since Bu Jingyun's disappearance.

"Rest assured, it will only be a matter of days now. At most, we wait another three to five days, and the Xianbei people are bound to move; when that time comes, we can act accordingly. If no opportunity arises, we will retreat to Lulong Pass and make other plans." Upon hearing this, Cao Cao pondered for a brief moment before speaking with a tone of certainty.

"Is there nothing you need me to tell Qiu Fei?" Qin Yang said earnestly, looking at Wan Tiansheng's retreating figure.

Bo Yanhe raised her head to take a glance and, seeing it was Liuyan, was just about to look away when she noticed her furrowed brow and the look in her eyes, which was entirely filled with hesitation.

Having passed a day of testing without any mishap, Wang Jin had seen absolutely no ghosts, which left her inexplicably bewildered; however, she had no way to question the other examinees and could only harbor a bellyful of doubts in her heart.

No matter how powerful an old dynasty once was, time would tell it that past glories would eventually dissipate, and no one could remain eternal and immortal.

In truth, this promotional video did not have so many rigid requirements to read strictly according to the script's lines; players like Yun Luoyang, Aixiao, and Juanmao had altered some of their dialogue to make it feel more natural to speak, while also appearing a bit more modest.

In reality, whether it was Ake or Lanling Wang, even if they hadn't been banned, it would not have mattered much if they were chosen by the "Blue Phoenix" team.

Chen Hu was slightly startled; what kind of powerful faction must stand as a backing behind a youth who possessed such a protective treasure?

"Didn't you and my cousin break up long ago? Why are you still asking about her? Everything concerning her now has absolutely nothing to do with you anymore," Shali said.
