Chapter 21: Having Pei Siya Standing Beside Her Made Her Feel Twice as Proud

No sooner had the words left her lips than Nanxi’s phone rang. It was the police department calling to summon her for the day. Her heart hammered against her ribs as she looked at Zhan Hong in a daze.

“Giggle, giggle…!” Liu Ruyue, standing beside them, couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh at Ding Feng’s words.

Jealousy flickered in his eyes; seeing Lian Lian appear to trust Qin Ming so completely left him feeling deeply displeased.

“That works too.” Gu Liu agreed with his master’s sentiment, keeping in mind the matters the boss and the others had been busy with recently.

Haihai slumped to the floor, her chest pressed against the toilet. She wanted to cry, but she fought to hold it back; the muscles on either side of her cheeks twitched slightly from the effort of suppressing her emotions.

Ding Feng examined himself from head to toe with a hesitant expression. He kicked his legs and bent at the waist, but apart from feeling a slight increase in agility, there was no difference from before.

He gradually sobered up. As for what followed, there were no further anomalies; the next day, he opened the shop and saw patients as usual.

They had been so impatient that they reported the matter to Chief Lin, but upon hearing it was Tang Jian, the Chief simply laughed it off and said nothing, further ordering them not to trouble Gu Jianfan and his companion again.

Three or four food stalls lined the street, each appearing to do quite well. At one of them, the humble tables and stools were packed with young people shouting and drinking. The chef and owner was busy stir-frying at the stove, the breeze scattering an enticing, mouth-watering aroma everywhere.

“I was just giving an example… Fine, if you must push me like this, I’ll have to use my ultimate move.” Lin Xuan took a deep breath, drawing the attention of everyone around. He then calmly spat out a few words.

Regarding the fight between Sizhen and Jianning at the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility that day, although the Empress Dowager said nothing, a couple of days later, she bestowed a governess surnamed Du upon them. The woman demanded that Sizhen learn royal etiquette and manners, controlling her every move. Even Huamei and the others received their fair share of scoldings.

It was precisely this plot twist that elevated the status of the entire manga significantly. After uploading this chapter, Du Zuoyuan even received a notification from the system.

In particular, the Blue Enchantress’s cultivation was far higher than his, as was her age in the Tao; all signs pointed to the fact that Dong Ze had no chance of winning.

“Overall, their supernatural abilities are scarce. They don’t even know Earth Escape; they have to dig holes themselves. Physical strength is their foundation, and their attack methods are quite primitive,” Hong Ling analyzed earnestly.

Because they were speaking in Chinese, Consort Duanshun understood very little, but seeing Fulin’s high spirits, she knew he was in a good mood.

Seeing the fire spread to her own head, the Empress, who had been kneeling alongside Consort Kang to plead for mercy, felt deeply aggrieved. As the primary mother, she was inevitably involved whenever any prince or princess faced trouble. Xuan Ye’s behavior today was indeed improper, but he was, after all, a child under three. Fulin’s actions were clearly a deliberate provocation.

Terrified and nearly losing my soul, I kept running for my life. After running for some distance, I felt that the assailant was no longer chasing me, so I panted for breath and glanced back.

Only then did I look properly at the monk. He wore a long, bushy beard, his hair and whiskers were white, and he looked withered and gaunt. Yet, his expression was benevolent, his eyes still sparkling with spirit, possessing a sense of detachment and greatness as if he had seen through the ways of the world. In his presence, even the most chaotic heart seemed to find instant peace, as if no evil could remain hidden.

“Sister, why did you go back with Qin Huan? Aren’t you terrified of him!” Yu Wangshu lowered his voice, her eyes filled with confusion, feeling that her sister seemed particularly strange today.

After speaking, Huang Chao left the elevator to wake the security guard and the resident who had wandered in by mistake. Naturally, he did so without revealing himself; in the end, they would never know what had happened, only waking up confused as to why they had inexplicably fallen unconscious for dozens of minutes.

Every word Qin Feng spoke was sonorous and powerful, leaving Su Jiuyue speechless for a moment.

Seeing that her sister and brother were clearly arguing, Jiang Huaiwu simply chose to stay silent, putting on her headphones to play games in her seat.

“How is this place eerie? It’s clearly because you wanted to take Qin Feng’s arm, isn’t it?” Everyone knew the truth but chose not to point it out.

Clumsy palace servants, even if unintentional, had to suffer for offending the nobility; otherwise, they would never understand what it meant to act with caution.

For some time now, Wei Hua had racked her brains, trying to restore her reputation without angering the Empress Dowager, but no matter what she tried, it was of no use.

However, her true identity had been completely exposed, making it difficult to get close to Mu Duo. Thus, Ying Yu began to seek another path, and that path was Qian Feng.

Aili nodded and tightened her wool coat; it was a bit cold. She tilted her head to look at Huang Chao, who was also looking at her, though his face lacked the look of disbelief and shock she had expected upon learning the truth.

Now, in the blink of an eye, she and Wen Yue had become the ones with the lowest cultivation, and they had made zero progress. Because of the previous incident involving Jiang Tiansheng and Yang Wen, they weren’t even allowed to attend classes.

“The soldiers discovered them at the crack of dawn. When they were found, they were all dead. Additionally, a girl from the Jiang tribe was found in a coma,” the lieutenant replied, standing at attention.

Only then did I realize that although I had been reborn, my memories had not fully returned. I knew that Haohao had been admitted to a famous science university in City B, but I couldn’t quite remember which one. I only vaguely recalled some things that had happened in my previous life.
