Chapter Twenty-Seven: I Did It on Purpose

This sudden remark coincided perfectly with Gongcheng Ling's earlier suspicions. It seemed that news from within the estate always leaked outside quickly; Steward Fang was clearly highly suspect.

The next day, Purada, who had been unconscious for a full day, finally awoke, though his mind remained somewhat hazy. "Where... where am I?" he asked intermittently.

"In your own room, where else would you be? What’s the matter, did the fever burn your brain?" Moqi Yue reached out and placed a hand on his forehead.

Having obtained the information he needed, Ye Yun did not linger. He traded a pack of chocolate with the man for a map to the merchant capital, and then tucked a jade stone inscribed with a concealment array into the village chief’s luggage, ensuring they would not be easily discovered by Gallos. It was a small compensation for their trouble, and with that, Ye Yun departed.

The onlookers were all stunned into silence, and Zhuang Lishan, who had been standing the closest, was particularly shaken.

The Valley Master actually had more to say to Hua Mu’er, but seeing Gong Qianxing present, he found no opportunity to speak. Thinking there would be time in the future and no need to rush, he left with Qi Yu.

"Are you here for Chen Chen this time?" Lin Sen handed them two glasses of water and sat down opposite Zhang Zhe.

Due to the ongoing competition, the academy gates remained open at all times; while outsiders were barred from entering, the students had no trouble coming and going.

After learning of the situation from the system, Ye Yun felt less urgent. He first checked out of his room, enjoyed a hearty meal, and then leisurely took a vehicle back to his rental apartment.

Regardless of what Lu Qianqi said today, she would never admit to anything. Even if he were to seek out the culprit, it would only be Ren Ying; it had nothing to do with her, Su Yuan.

The family gathering was the event Father Chen valued most each year, and full attendance was mandatory. Chen Chen had always been indifferent toward it. The phrase "the fickleness of human relationships" applied quite aptly to his relatives. Chen Chen knew with absolute certainty that his family was unwelcome, and he was equally certain it was because they lacked money.

Upon reaching the guest room, Pei Yichen did not leave immediately but lingered in the room, remaining silent.

Echizen Kazuya deduced from the variations of Wind Release that once he fully comprehended the Water attribute, he would certainly be able to perfectly recreate Ice Release by referencing Xuan’s template. At that moment, the mysterious veil of the bloodline limit would surely be lifted by him.

"If I were to pass the Yamanaka clan’s secret techniques to Kazuya, I wonder if he could master them and carry them forward?" Yamanaka Inoichi had this thought for the first time, a smile touching his lips as he pondered with anticipation.

Jade Tablet Xiao Hua felt a bit awkward. Under normal circumstances, he would not rashly enter the space of another Jade Tablet avatar, but today he had been far too excited.

Little did she expect Guan Tianyue to wave his hand, unleashing a force so powerful that Shuo Bing could not resist it, propelling her dozens of miles away in an instant.

At almost the same moment, Chen Guanxi caught a glimpse of his enemy landing. Their sharp gazes met in the air, sparking with the fire of battle, and then, as if by mutual agreement, they both charged toward the nearest room.

Among the ninjas left behind in the Hidden Sand Village, many were not skilled in combat. Because they had always remained in the rear, their survival rate was high, but these individuals—whether skilled in intelligence analysis or research—were ill-suited for field missions.

Walking along the street, he found himself, without realizing it, beside the man-made lake near the villa district. Watching the lake shimmer under the moonlight and reflecting on his past life—including the approved home-leave application he had received just before his final mission—tears could not help but slide from his eyes.

"Heh, this is only the beginning. I want to see how Yiran Entertainment plans to survive for a year without releasing any works and with such tight capital. Hmph!" Liu Jie sneered.
