Chapter 45 Wouldn't that mean Sister Sangye is...

Although this decision was not based on the principle of majority rule and everyone was free to leave, those who intended to leave were not very firm in their stance. Besides, from their perspective, staying one extra day was no big deal, so everyone decided to remain at the camp for the night and leave matters for tomorrow.

At first, while our paths aligned, nothing seemed amiss, but after walking for a few days, I began to notice anomalies. It was not as if I had never visited Mount Hua, but the route they led us on seemed deliberately skewed. If they were inner disciples knowing some shortcuts, those at best would apply to their own mountain gate; yet Mount Hua with its western peak extends in all directions, and it is utterly impossible for there to be secret paths unknown to outsiders.

Situ Yi, I thought, there are only eight days left. I want to spend these eight days doing what I desire. As Chen Ken said, we must strive for ourselves at least once, and strive for love at least once. I want to fight for love; after all, after eight days, I will be leaving completely.

"Is that so?" Aunt Lan finally reacted. Of course she knew Cheng Yitian made complete sense, but could she really accept such candid help from Cheng Yitian?

Chu Shou then patiently shared his plan with Lamir, providing some detailed explanations.

I heard a light patter of footsteps, prompting me to instinctively raise my head, whereupon I saw a plump man walking toward us.

"Is this okay?" Ban Sufang, whose temper was always impatient, sat up from the bed, the pulling of her wounds making her bare her teeth in pain. Despite the hemostatic and anti-inflammatory ointment applied to her wounds, she had developed a low-grade fever.

Chu Menglin was both terrified and alarmed. Once the two had walked away, she reflected on how her momentary self-will had brought her to such a plight. Even when she had been given the cold shoulder within the sect, when had she ever suffered such torment? The more she dwelt on it, the more aggrieved and wronged she felt, and she burst into quiet tears.

Nangong Xue said, "This... I truly cannot guess." Originally, she had numerous ways to prove that Lu Qian was the murderer, but he had systematically refuted them all, making her own arguments appear weak and easily overturned at any moment, causing her confidence to plummet abruptly.

"Haha! You won't eat? Then missing this golden opportunity will be your undoing! Let me tell you, this old man only has ten minutes left. If you don't want him to kick the bucket for nothing without giving my method a try—humph! The consequences are yours to bear!" Cong Yi feigned putting the Great Restoration Pill back into his pocket.

Yato also sighed, shook his head, and then turned to go into another room, intending to have a talk with Yukine.

This apartment was a fifteenth birthday gift from Jun Wan. According to Situ Ran, independence should be pursued early. Indeed, living in the main family residence was somewhat inconvenient due to the distance, and besides, her older brother Jun Ze would drop by to check on her from time to time. Overall, it felt quite nice.

The foundational rule of that game series' world was non-injury: defeating opponents and claiming victory through harmless, purely theatrical, and magnificent danmaku that left them battered and dusty.

Artoria could finally hold back no longer and proactively submitted a request to enter battle, yet Kiritsugu Emiya continued to ignore her.

Returning to the annex, Galudai changed into a light and comfortable outfit. On her head, she wore only a rose-gold velvet flower; on her earlobes hung teardrop-shaped pearl earrings, and on each of her wrists was a purple jade bracelet.

It was also a rare coincidence that Jun Wan's homecoming date happened to coincide with the military's holiday, allowing the whole family to reunite.

This was the Northern Sea Cemetery that Qi Wandao had been yearning for. Although everyone knew the name, finding the place was exceedingly difficult as it was entirely surrounded by formations. Without sufficient strength, even if one walked right up to the Northern Sea Cemetery, it would remain invisible.

The superhuman spat out blood while desperately uttering curses, yet his palms likewise surged with a yellow glow as he slammed them directly onto the ground. The earth trembled, and a stone wall over two meters high rapidly condensed and rose into existence.

A soldier of the Knight Federation stepped forward, his gaze directed at the scar-faced man filled with intense vigilance.

Just as the words fell, Huangmo emerged from the void and shattered Xuanhuang Mazu's shoulder with a single strike, sending bone fragments flying in all directions.

The current Luoyang no longer possessed its once-formidable standing among the various military garrisons. While every feudal prince commanded armies of over one hundred thousand, Luoyang was left with only seventy to eighty thousand battle-ready troops, with the rest either dead or crippled—a truly tragic price to pay.

Seeing that a collision was imminent, Ye Qiu slammed on the brakes and abruptly spun the steering wheel. The vehicle suddenly lost control as the rear end fishtailed, sending the entire car spinning uncontrollably. Following that, Ye Qiu fiercely stomped on the accelerator, and the jeep narrowly brushed past the edge of the cement truck by a hair's breadth.

"I thought he was just momentarily confused and didn't know how to handle things, but I never imagined he would carry out these acts with such secrecy! With a brain that sharp, instead of doing business, he plots these wretched schemes... It makes me utterly furious." Looking at the evidence in his hands, the old man slapped his own thigh in deep regret.

"Now this is somewhat interesting. That physical vessel of yours is far too weak." Nangong Xiaoxiao hoisted the Battle-Heaven Halberd with one hand and rested it on his shoulder.

Seeing that fair, lotus-root-like arm extended right before him, emanating the fragrance of shower gel.

Yu Beibei was not sick, yet she received an inexplicable slap from Mrs. Yu. She raised her head and caught Mrs. Yu's hand mid-air.

The silver token was engraved with numerous profound patterns, resembling a white divine dragon of exquisite beauty that radiated a sacred majesty.

Mimi wore a sorrowful expression as she moved even closer to Qi Shaojin, her cascading tresses nearly brushing against his handsome cheeks.

An emissary of the Graveyard Clan who called himself the Black Cloud City envoy, along with two individuals from the Elf City, remained within the imperial palace.

Wen Yiming instructed Liu Datong to hand the Earth-Dividing Sword over to the opponent. Today's goal was simply to fish for some insider information, get a taste of treasure hunting, and satisfy his curiosity about the Jiao family to see if any secrets could be extracted.

Seeing the troops of Ji Linyun slaughtering his forces with devastating efficiency, while she herself advanced toward him under the protection of the guard company, the Imatasian War Grand Duke Baotu roared in fury. Disregarding everything else, he drew out his new holy artifact and charged straight at Ji Linyun.
