Even though Li Renhao was extremely unwilling, under the coercion of Li Jiaxin and Xu Mo Zhu, she had no choice but to follow the two towards the direction they came from.
"This direction seems to be where he was before."
As their bodies swept over the forest canopy, Li Renhao's shapely eyebrows twitched, and her bright eyes swept over the surroundings, hoping to catch a glimpse of that familiar figure.
However, among the verdant trees, not a shadow could be found.
Her eyes inevitably grew dim.
It wasn't that she had any feelings for this mortal, but this mortal had repeatedly come through the monster-infested mountains unscathed, which gave her an tremendous shock.
"We're here."
"That senior is just ahead."
At that moment, Li Jiaxin's excited voice came from the front.
However, Li Renhao's mind was completely not on it. She didn't even glance in the direction they mentioned, still observing her surroundings, trying to find that figure.
The three landed on the ground and walked towards Yi Feng.
"Renhao, remember, this senior's strength is unparalleled, but his state of mind has long reached the realm of returning to simplicity. He even calls himself a mortal, so we must not offend him!" Li Jiaxin reminded.
As she spoke, the three had arrived not far from Yi Feng.
Yi Feng also saw the three of them. Putting down his guitar, he looked at them with a faint smile.
However, Li Renhao was still distracted.
Unwilling to give up, she looked around once more before reluctantly glancing in the direction Li Jiaxin mentioned.
Suddenly!
Her footsteps shuddered!
At the same time, her red lips parted slightly, and her bright eyes were filled with incredulity.
This face.
This visage.
This familiar figure...
"Auntie, is this the senior you spoke of?"
Li Renhao was stunned for a long time before reacting incredulously.
"Renhao, what are you talking about? Don't be rude! Hurry and greet the master." Li Jiaxin scolded anxiously.
But it seemed like Li Renhao didn't hear Li Jiaxin's words. She was still in shock at the incredible thing before her eyes, unable to recover.
She never imagined that the super expert Li Jiaxin and Xu Mo Zhu spoke of would be the mortal she met in the mountains.
But.
He clearly didn't have any cultivation, so how could he be a super expert?
For a moment, Li Renhao felt her mind go blank!
Seeing Li Renhao act strangely, Li Jiaxin frowned and asked, "Renhao, what's going on with you?"
"Auntie, could you have gotten the wrong person?"
Finally, Li Renhao bit her red lips, her expression complicated as she spoke, "Is he really the senior you spoke of?"
"What do you mean by that?" Xu Mo Zhu walked over with a frown.
"He's the mortal I told you about!" Li Renhao furrowed her shapely eyebrows and explained, "But now you're calling him an expert. Are you sure you didn't get it wrong?"
"What?"
Hearing this, Li Jiaxin and Xu Mo Zhu were stunned on the spot.
They never imagined that the senior they spoke of turned out to be the mortal Li Renhao mentioned.
What a coincidence!
But they reacted instantly. They were certain that Li Renhao, this silly girl, simply didn't have the insight to recognize this person's terror.
"Oh you silly girl, how can you be so muddleheaded." Li Jiaxin hurriedly scolded, "It's not that your auntie and master saw the wrong person, it's that your abilities are too low to discern this person's depth."
Li Renhao frowned.
She still found this hard to believe. It felt too far-fetched.
She had interacted with Yi Feng more than once. No matter how she looked, he was just an ordinary mortal. How did he suddenly become an expert?
"If you don't believe, look at the tree trunk. See anything unusual?" Li Jiaxin hinted with a look.
Li Renhao raised her chin slightly and glanced at the tree trunk.
"A tortoise. What's wrong with that?"
Li Renhao was not surprised, since she had seen this tortoise before, always carried by Yi Feng.
"You silly girl, how can you be so dense this time?" Xu Mo Zhu shouted in exasperation next to her. "Concentrate your inner energy and take another good look. What is that tortoise really?"
Li Renhao wrinkled her brows, rather unwillingly gathered her inner energy, surrounding her eyes, and indifferently looked towards the tortoise.
It seemed...a little unusual?
She could not help but put away her casual attitude, and looked closely.
At this look, she finally saw the tortoise's secret. She was stunned in place, her mind struck by lightning!
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

"Hypnosis? Oh, it succeeded, my dear Master." "Only this time, it's my turn to hypnotize you."

Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules.
