Chapter 1164: Adding a New Teacher

"Goodbye, Teacher Lu."

After class adjourned, the students dispersed in small clusters, heading home together; each one, upon passing the main gate, cast a sidelong glance at the swordsman clad in black, who sat in the corner, entirely devoid of presence.

Only when the last of the students had departed did Xue Shilou finally speak.

"You certainly are in high spirits, Fellow Daoist Lu," Xue Shilou managed to utter after a lengthy, stifled silence.

Sword cultivators were generally men of few words, with the Daoist of No-Words and Lu Yang being the sole exceptions.

Xue Shilou act—

Thereafter, the pair crossed Wuxin Ridge with relative ease, encountering no further perils along the way save for dispatching a few wild wolves.

Naturally, Mu Yi noticed this as well; the other's speed was by no means on the same level as his own, yet the man possessed a swiftness of reflex and a raw strength that Mu Yi could not match, and realizing that a direct clash would only leave him at a disadvantage, Mu Yi chose not to force a confrontation, opting instead for an alternative approach.

"There will be no contingencies; I am entirely willing." The youth’s gaze was at once agonizing and unyielding.

"Yan Wu, are you a fool? Could it be, could it be that you truly fail to see my affection for you? I like you, I love you, and naturally, I cannot bear to see you with another!" Bai Xuepiao said to Yan Wu, her voice steeped in sorrow.

Yet, just as that person prepared to deliver the fatal blow, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from within Zhou Tian's body—an aura that, while not immense in volume, was exceptionally dreadful and concentrated.

Regrettably, of the demons and monsters that had once stirred up storms across the land, only Gui Li and the one-armed Phantom Ghost remained. Fortunately, Gui Li had now mastered a martial skill far superior to that of the past, rendering him fully capable of contending against four foes single-handedly.

Furious as she was, she found herself at a loss; yet upon hearing that the stranger was seeking Xiao Yan, her brow furrowed deep in suspicion.

"Elder, we land upon the island in two days, and we must permit no further mishaps during this interval; those whom the Celestial Clan previously dispatched to search for the spiritual island have all vanished without a trace, and I believe it best we proceed with caution at this juncture." The speaker's tone was humble, yet the words carried a steadfast rectitude.

Though the demon statue had failed to afford us the thrill of combat, the equipment it left behind nonetheless provided a fleeting shred of solace.

"Do you truly believe you are worthy of my waiting? Are you still deserving of my love?" With those words, Feng Xuyao forcefully flung away Zhai Yixin's hand, her gaze entirely devoid of warmth, absolute in its coldness.

The following day, Yao Jinling was inevitably confined to her bed; this time, the injuries were concentrated upon her face, leaving it severely swollen and bruised, her eyes reduced to mere slits through which she could not see—and worst of all, she had sustained the beating without ever understanding its cause.

At this precise moment, as Pei Yiling's life hung precariously in the balance, the act of calling her 'Mother' seemed, remarkably, to come to her quite naturally.

Upon hearing this, Pei Shiyin's countenance instantly darkened; it was no wonder Cheng Yiben suspected her—suspected that she had meticulously schemed to marry into the Cheng family—for it appeared her father truly regarded her as nothing more than a cash cow.

Qu Man remained reasonably well-acquainted with the circumstances of the Sun family; after all, not much time had elapsed since the occurrence of that previous incident.

"Why would Senior Sister harbor such thoughts?" Chu Xiu directly encircled Yun Ran'er’s slender waist. "In my eyes, Senior Sister, you have always been an ethereal being, far beyond reach."

In Qi Tongwei's anticipation of the future, every special combat squadron currently under the command of the Lone Wolf would eventually be independently expanded into a full-scale special forces brigade.

It was only upon reaching Phoenix City that Fang Huaijin learned this had been his junior sister's intent, and both master and disciple understood perfectly in their hearts that Ye Guiying surely had matters of import to disclose to them.

Once the lesson concluded, the instructor departed in a fit of rage, leaving the classroom abuzz with the students' fervent whispers; some speculated that Chen Cheng was pregnant, while others suggested Qin Shufei might have accompanied her to the hospital for an examination.

One after another, the vigorously flopping fish flew above the bonfire as though soaring through the open air, emitting a succession of sharp, sizzling sounds.

Suddenly, a tremendous crash resounded, accompanied by the piercing screech of brakes, and Qi Tongwei felt a sharp tang of pain register across his face.
