Chapter 48: The Purpose of the Gathering—One Hundred Million Crystal Cores!

Qiao Jia said she couldn't remember anything from her past, which wasn't exactly a lie. She truly had lost part of her memory, unable even to recall who had killed her. The memories that remained were hazy at best. Yet most of those present believed Qiao Jia was simply unwilling to reveal her origins. They tacitly chose not to press her further; if the mayor didn't want to speak, so be it. Only Feng Yuanyao—

If he didn’t return Rong Wanxi soon and waited another day, there was no guarantee that evidence would turn up on Rong Qing and the third’s side. By tomorrow, Rong Qing would surely lose patience and, ignoring the third’s objections, report the matter to the authorities.

In the very next moment, following Captain Song’s command, everyone hurried off to the right without a trace of hesitation. It was clear that the earlier incident had thoroughly frightened them.

Leaving the Phantom Spirit Space, Xiao Yan stood atop Heaven Peak, gazing out over the Valley Realm. Compared to two years ago, little had changed—except for the people who now came and went, those who had been replaced by others.

Oh, what on earth am I thinking! Enough! Gritting my teeth, I squeezed my eyes shut and turned my head away in a rush.

Tadun did not speak of punishing Gao Shun, which meant that he was still weighing his options. He and Qiu Liju had been close for years, and emotionally, Tadun still held out hope for Qiu Liju. Yet reason compelled him to leave himself a way out.

Zhao Hui took the cup, sipped some water, set it down, and leaned against Li Zhenguo’s chest. He held her close, as if they couldn’t bear to be separated.

Pressing his lips together, Xiao Yan glanced unwillingly toward the center of the formation base. He wanted to take a closer look, but the mysterious power of the Dragon Soul Bone was not something he could forget, so he dared not lift the cover recklessly.

He took out the Valley Realm student’s token. A flash of violet light swept past, and a portal rose within the great array. Xiao Yan’s figure became a streak of flowing light as he darted toward the Inner Academy.

Du Yu hadn’t even noticed her appearance; he simply knelt before her, sobbing uncontrollably for a long time.

Autumn seemed to have arrived. When would this performance finally come to an end? Hopefully, the outcome wouldn’t be too painful.

Wind and Moon’s heart pounded as she went downstairs, her arms raised, terrified that someone might stab her in the back.

“How can you say it’s nothing? Isn’t having a son important?” Si Chenghong shot a mischievous grin at his beloved wife.

Compared to Junma Group, the New York City government received even more praise. Previously, whenever people thought of New York, they pictured a city of advanced finance and bustling shipping—a paradise of capital, a playground for tycoons, but never a city with a human touch.

But everything that happened, she only learned about afterward. How could an outsider possibly know? In his eyes, she was probably no longer pure, and that was why he kept rejecting her.

Apart from explaining what rules and the Dao were, Pangu also taught how he cultivated, sharing his insights and experiences in this realm.

His stamina was remarkable. After ten minutes, I could take no more and collapsed helplessly onto the bed, leaving him to his own devices.

Suddenly, the Buick overturned. A car doesn’t flip over for no reason—there must have been some external force at play.

The thought that Si Junhao might come to despise her for this made Ai Mu feel a suffocating pressure in her chest.

The next day, Leng Zheng, under Leng Yifeng’s name, held a press conference to clarify that the Su and Leng families were merely business partners. Though both were prominent families, there were no plans for a marriage alliance.

Ying’er’s large eyes brimmed with tears, never leaving Liu Tian. Everyone knew what Zhao Hu meant—he feared that if Liu Tian couldn’t pay, trouble would follow. Even though Liu Tian was at the first stage of Martial Condensation, taking on the Blood Wolf Gang was still far too dangerous.
