Volume 1, Chapter 66: Winds and Clouds Rising (Part 1)

Qing Jingyao held her head high, immensely pleased. They embraced and slept in each other's arms that night, as if they would still be by each other's side when they woke up early the next morning.

In the previously quiet mountain forest, two groups of people suddenly appeared. Belonging to different factions and locked in a mortal struggle, it meant that only one side could walk out of the mountains alive.

More than three thousand catties of grain designated for escort were entirely seized by Wang Tieshi's detachment. They also suffered losses of over thirty firearms, three light machine guns, and more than thirty wagons. Over thirty local fellow villagers who assisted in transporting the grain, along with three local cadres, were captured by the puppet troops and taken to Pingchuan, where they were all buried alive.

"Junior Brother's roasted chicken is getting more and more delicious! If this goes on, I'm afraid Senior Brother won't be able to do without you anymore in the future! Hahaha!" The man in blue praised while eating the roasted chicken.

Looking at the lush bamboo leaves in front of the house, Yun Mo held the Stone of Three Lifetimes borrowed from the Matchmaker. Resting in Yun Mo's broad palm, the smooth stone had Lin Mianmian's name engraved on it, alongside four other words.

The originally lively wedding instantly turned desolate. From beginning to end, the entire Ye household sensed nothing unusual because they all knew that Ye Chengji had consistently opposed Ye Lin marrying Zhang Cuihua.

On the highest elevated platform stood a tall, iron-willed, and robust middle-aged man. Beside him was a young man clad in white robes, his waist bound with a soft golden-silk belt, and a floral crown resting upon his brow.

At that very moment, the bell inside the church suddenly chimed, as if fluttering white feathers were drifting down from another world, another dimension, dyeing the magnificent sky in a riot of colorful hues.

Night slowly descended, and a faint, sweet tea-like fragrance spread through the urban streets, dotting the entire city—which should have been shrouded in darkness—with specks of brilliant light.

"Splash—!" Before Qin Pei could muster her strength, she saw a burst of water directly strike Trick's face, forcing him to let go of his grip.

Upon arriving at the competition venue, Qin Pei noticed that the number of gazes falling upon her was noticeably greater than last time.

"I can give it to you, but not right now!" Liyan slightly frowned, casting a sideways glance at the aloof man.

Although the scene before them could not be called chaotic, it was certainly not much better. Several bolts of cloth lay scattered on the ground, along with shattered teacups, while chairs and tables were overturned at odd angles.

"Roar!" Seeming not to expect that Li Yi could still smile, the monster even paused for a fraction of a second before roaring fiercely at him.

Everything that happens has its own reason, and it was only later that I suddenly realized the direction those reasons pointed to was you.

Carrying a trace of desolation so fragile it could shatter at any moment, Qingning staggered back to her room with a jar of wine in her hand, swaying twice before finally sinking onto the bed.

Shouting loudly to Sister Yaoyao, Zhang Fanyang originally intended to jump into the pool. But when he looked down, he discovered that as the cocoon of light in the pool gradually vanished, the pale purple fluorescent water also began to dim. In less than half a minute, the entire karst cave slowly plunged into darkness.

However, Wang Yu didn't want to overthink it. He worked as a Taekwondo coach at the Vitality Fitness Center, and Zhao Hu was one of his paying students. That morning, Zhao Hu called him to say he had run into some trouble at school and asked for his help.

Su Feng followed Su Fengsheng's gaze, turned his head thoughtfully, and slowly walked toward the stage.

Once the Jiang family was thrown into internal chaos, Fang Zisheng finally found an opportunity. Working hand-in-hand with An Zi, they directly teleported to the entrance of the courtyard. Being both meticulous thinkers, the two of them grabbed the Zhenyuan hand bones and vanished instantly—a flawless plan.

Lang Qige felt more or less unsettled about Qiu Xuan being afflicted with the Murong tribe's fatal poison, as Qiu Xuan claimed he was poisoned after drinking the bowl of ginseng soup sent by Murong Lan. Could it be that Murong Lan poisoned him? Yet they couldn't simply take Qiu Xuan's word for it, though Murong Lan could not easily shake off the suspicion either.

Upon uttering these words, Wang Cheng'en let out a long sigh. He did not know when white hairs had sprouted upon his head.

A flash of inspiration struck Yu Haoyang, and he thought of the computer in the room from the early morning hours. Perhaps that computer was equipped with a radar system capable of piercing through the universe. Why not open the computer and study it? Maybe a miracle would happen.

Lang Qige nodded, admiring Tuoba Jie as a man who valued loyalty and affection, and stopped trying to persuade him, returning with Tuoba Jie to the Eastern Hu tribe.

"The Seven-Tailed Demon Fox is unlike ordinary evil spirits; standard exorcism talismans have no effect at all. Let me handle this!" After saying this, Senior Dongfang placed his hand on the crown of Lin Qianxue's head. Specks of white light dissolved into her body, and within some ten seconds, Lin Qianxue's complexion regained a hint of healthy rosiness.

Situ Yun had traveled to the Tuoba tribe but failed to find any trace of Tuoba Xue. Where on earth Tuoba Xue had gone remained a mystery, and even though Tuoba Jie had sent people to search everywhere, there was still no news.

The only difference was that the elder sister, Ruxun, was frozen in terror, while the younger sister, Ruyuan, instinctively stepped in front of Lin Yi to protect him.

Right at this moment, a cultivator at the Immortal-Transforming stage from the Gu family suddenly sniffed the air and turned his gaze toward the spot where Ye Haochen was hiding.

The earth-shattering earthquake caused many rivers to vanish, turned numerous mountain ranges into flat plains, and forced many flatlands to rise into towering peaks.

Hearing this, Suyang blinked at Lu Ziming with a somewhat embarrassed expression. As an eighth-tier, ninth-stage immortal cultivator, he could clearly perceive Mulin's condition.

"Alright, sorry to trouble you, Maiden." Jun Nuo replied, hiding in the darkness by the doorway with Raoyao.

F University was different from other universities; the military training program for freshmen offered many options, and each student drew lots in their class to decide their assignment.
