Chapter 80: Revealing the Truth

Deng Mengqi emerged as a new star from last year's talent competition. She had only acted in one film, yet rumors had already begun to swirl about her and the movie's male director, Feng Wanqiang. Feng Wanqiang was one of the leading directors in Huaxia, over fifty years old, owner of several film companies, with assets worth billions—a man whose background was said to be profound and far-reaching. Gossip claimed he had improper relationships with many actresses. Deng Mengqi was only eighteen; Feng Wanqiang was old enough to be her grandfather.

...

"This..." Yan Wushuang hesitated. Though she was almost certain that 'Bamboo Melody' was a disciple of the Harmony Sect, the matter was too serious for her to decide alone. She thought it best to report to her master; only then would a course of action be determined.

The blond, acting as a sycophant, led Brother Li out of the private room and headed straight for Ning Feng's suite.

"Uncle Cai, do you think we'll ever meet him again in the world of martial arts?" After a long silence, Mo Ruyan finally asked softly.

Wu Yong disguised himself as a businessman with a large suitcase and then packed Wei Qiong inside it. Wei Qiong weighed over a hundred pounds—he was heavier than a pig—but Wu Yong managed to haul him downstairs and load him into the pickup truck belonging to the businessman.

Xi Yiming and Wen Xingyu were newlyweds, still in the bliss of their honeymoon. Ye Xuanli knocked forcefully on their door, and as he knocked, he began to hear the voices of Xi Yiming and Wen Xingyu approaching from within.

One was fiery and passionate, almost like a seductress, while the other wore a perpetual stern expression, as cold as a block of ice.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes widened in amazement, jaws nearly dropping to the floor.

"Don’t act like you know me so well—we're not close!" Zhuo Qingchan paused, casting a cold glance at Ye Zhusheng.

"The matter of the medicinal liquids in Luzhou City has been settled. That fellow's family heirloom is truly an extraordinary treasure, intimately familiar with thousands of herbs. It is invaluable to me, so I must stay close and learn from it as much as possible," Mo Yi said with a gentle smile.

Xu Zheng was stunned; he thought something serious had happened, but it turned out to be just this. Having a baby was, for him, easier than drinking water. The ancestral Drop Grace A within him had been thirsting for this opportunity.

Her job was actually quite simple: persuade the target client to invest in the company’s project, acting as a kind of intermediary between the two parties.

If one wished to reopen the temporal rift and pull the player’s spiritual essence across using gathered powers, it would require at least the Iron attribute level, if not the higher Diamond attribute level.

Of course, this wasn’t true exhaustion. In reality, when the Spirit Meridian True Qi was at its peak, the body felt more comfortable and lighter. Qin Yue was accustomed to a state far beyond ordinary humans. Now, with only half his usual True Qi, his body felt closer to the norm, and he found it unsettling.

For Qing Yan, who usually came to the Abyss of Other Souls only to fight or burn beast bodies, today—three months later—things felt strange. Had someone with great cultivation damaged a key area, causing the exotic beasts to migrate elsewhere? But Lu Yu said the feng shui was intact, at least fundamentally unaffected.

But the result surprised everyone present. Cold light flashed; the wild grass binding Yu was severed in one stroke. Immediately, with a thud, Yu’s body crashed to the ground, bounced once, and nearly knocked the wind out of him.

Yet Li Jin paid no heed—he strode confidently inside, as if oblivious to the onlookers.

Since that day when he departed without a word, sneaking away from the castle, Gong Luojue had not appeared again, nor sent anyone to look for her.

At such grand occasions, the hosts were always capable and impressive. This one was no exception; amid a round of introductions, he picked up the microphone, looked down from the stage at his "distinguished guests," and began speaking.
