Shi Qingwu walked quickly, her heart filled with worry.
She had left him alone outside, facing a group of elders from the Hundred Refinements Sect...
Especially among them was Sun Zimei, a man of immense cultivation and ruthless methods. Dealing with him would be as easy as crushing an ant.
She knew Sun Zimei all too well. If he wanted to target someone, he would ensure their complete ruin, leaving them in a living hell.
Thinking of this, Shi Qingwu felt a pang of guilt.
If that were truly the case, then it would be her fault for bringing this upon him.
Unconsciously, she quickened her pace.
From her secluded chamber to the courtyard where Yi Feng resided, she had to pass by the Hundred Refinements Sect’s prison.
She paused.
She decided to take a look inside.
Given Sun Zimei’s methods, it wouldn’t be surprising if Yi Feng was already imprisoned.
Since she was passing by anyway, it wouldn’t hurt to check.
If he was indeed inside, she could alleviate his suffering sooner.
But just as she reached the entrance of the death row prison, a piercing wail tore through the air.
“Damn you all! Let me out! I’ll kill you!!!”
The familiar voice made Shi Qingwu shudder.
Was that... the voice of the Grand Elder, Sun Zimei?
Impossible.
After all, Sun Zimei, as the Grand Elder of the Hundred Refinements Sect, possessed cultivation at the pinnacle of the sect. Aside from her, no one in the entire sect could rival him.
How could he be in the death row prison?
Shi Qingwu hesitated, moving closer to listen more carefully.
But the next moment, a heavy thud silenced the wail.
Shi Qingwu shook her head. She must have misheard.
The death row prison could hold the cries of anyone, but it was absolutely impossible for Sun Zimei to be among them.
She must have misheard!
Shi Qingwu prepared to continue inside, determined to find Yi Feng.
However, as soon as she stepped into the prison, before she could take two steps, she saw two figures emerging from the corner at the end of the corridor.
Upon closer inspection, they were none other than the Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder of the sect.
Shi Qingwu frowned, her expression darkening.
These two elders were staunch supporters of the Grand Elder, Sun Zimei!
They had always been at odds with her, and she had suffered many setbacks at their hands.
Running into them now would undoubtedly lead to trouble.
Thinking of the potential complications, Shi Qingwu immediately turned to leave.
Her priority was to find Yi Feng, and she had no time to waste on these two.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that the Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder had also spotted her.
Shi Qingwu prepared to channel her energy and vanish on the spot.
But in the next instant, the two elders flashed before her like lightning, kneeling down with a loud thud!
“We pay our respects to the Sect Master!!!”
Their booming voices shook the prison walls.
Shi Qingwu was so startled by the sudden outburst that she trembled.
She stared blankly as the two kneeling elders began showering her with flattery.
“Sect Master, are you feeling better?”
“How’s your health? Did you encounter any issues during your seclusion?”
“The Sect Master’s complexion is radiant, and now that you’ve emerged, you’re even more stunning than a lotus emerging from water! Truly dazzling!”
“Indeed, indeed! The Sect Master’s grace is unparalleled. This seclusion has only enhanced your extraordinary beauty!”
“With the Sect Master leading us, the Hundred Refinements Sect will surely unite and soon ascend to the peak of the Nine Realms!”
Shi Qingwu was completely dumbfounded by their sudden sycophancy.
She stared at them, utterly confused.
Weren’t these two Sun Zimei’s loyal followers?
They had never shown her even a hint of respect before.
What was going on today?
Had they lost their minds?
Shi Qingwu opened her mouth but decided not to question their bizarre behavior. Instead, she asked, “Do you know where Yi Feng is?”
No matter how strange these two were, finding Yi Feng was her top priority.
At the mention of Yi Feng, the eyes of the Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder lit up like lasers!
“Of course, we know!!!”
Their synchronized shout was so loud that it shattered the skull of a nearby guard.
After all, Yi Feng’s courtyard was currently packed with powerful figures. Not only were there elders from the Hundred Refinements Sect, but even elders from the Heavenly Tyrant Sect’s main branch had been forced to wait outside the courtyard due to the lack of space!
As for lower-ranking elders like them, they didn’t even have the right to approach!
They had come here to vent their frustrations on Sun Zimei, as it was his fault they had initially opposed Yi Feng.
But who would have thought they’d run into Shi Qingwu, who had just emerged from seclusion!
“Sect Master, follow us!” The Fourth Elder grinned from ear to ear, bowing respectfully.
Damn, they had hit the jackpot!
Shi Qingwu numbly followed the two.
Their bizarre behavior had left her utterly bewildered.
What on earth was going on?
Had something major happened while she was in seclusion?
As she followed them, Shi Qingwu’s mind was filled with questions.
Before she could figure anything out, they had already arrived outside Yi Feng’s courtyard.
However... the area outside the courtyard was now densely packed with people.
Seeing the scene before her, Shi Qingwu froze in place.
Because...
Among the crowd were not only the sect masters and influential elders of sects like the Tianmen Sect, Luori Temple, Tianren Sect, and Baixin Sect—all on par with the Hundred Refinements Sect—but also prominent elders from the Heavenly Tyrant Sect...
What... was going on???
Shi Qingwu was completely stunned, her mind reeling.
Had the Hundred Refinements Sect somehow incurred the wrath of so many sects during her seclusion?
Shi Qingwu trembled, filled with dread.
She opened her mouth to say something, but before she could, the Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder bellowed!
“What are you all staring at?!”
“Our Sect Master is here! Make way!!”
Hearing this, Shi Qingwu was horrified. She was about to scold the two elders for their audacity.
These idiots couldn’t possibly fail to recognize the identities of the people gathered here, could they?
If they wanted to die, they shouldn’t drag her into it!
But before Shi Qingwu could speak, the crowd instantly parted, creating a path for her.
“We greet Sect Master Shi!”
Not only did they make way, but they also bowed respectfully to her.
Shi Qingwu rubbed her eyes. Was she hallucinating???
At the same time, the people inside the courtyard heard the commotion and began to emerge.
Leading the group were the two grand elders of the Heavenly Tyrant Sect.
Shi Qingwu stopped rubbing her eyes and took a sharp breath, her spine stiffening.
Good heavens... why were these two titans here???
Shi Qingwu was about to bow in respect, but before she could...
The next moment.
The two grand elders of the Heavenly Tyrant Sect stood before her.
Under her stunned gaze, they clasped their hands and bowed.
“We greet Sect Master Shi.”
In one smooth motion.
fe full of thrilling battles, ultimately sacrificing himself to protect his homeland and its people. Unexpectedly, he was reborn into his youth, where he encountered the campus ice queen, Ye Miyue, now working as a masseuse at his family's martial arts school. "How long have you been doing this?" "I-it's my first time..." the campus belle murmured, her head bowed. Wang Xian remembered clearly that back then, although Ye Miyue had not yet awakened her martial arts talent, her outstanding academic performance, breathtaking beauty, and icy demeanor had made her the moon goddess of every boy in school. He was no exception. In his previous life, they had no connection, never imagining they would meet under such circumstances. Sadly, today the city was attacked by an S-class beast, the 'Wind King Falcon,' destroying nearly half of the city streets. Ye Miyue had died on her way home during this disaster. Now, given a second chance, facing the campus goddess of his youth, Wang Xian resolutely decided to extend her session! And so. "My hands are tired..." the blushing campus belle whispered, relieved. Wang Xian pointed to her slender calves and said, "Who said only hands can massage? There are feet too!" "Extend the session, continue!"

So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? 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. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
