Chapter 173: Deceiving Oneself

Wei Qi said in a deep voice, “I know, I know, but...”

Lu Fei leapt out of the cave, soaring high before grabbing a small bird with a red crest from a tree.

“Come on, take me to the laboratory.”

Wei Qi’s face lit up with delight. “Mr. Lu, you’re taking this bird away from here...”

“This time, I’m afraid even plunging into the underworld won’t clear our names!” Mu Wan muttered quietly nearby, unaware that Dan Xingjin had already overheard her words.

“You’ve wasted too much time praying. From now on, you need to focus on saving yourself. I have some medical knowledge. Judging by your father’s complexion, he doesn’t have long to live. At most, three years,” Lei Changye said calmly.

Li Hongmei looked grimly at the signature dishes but held her tongue since the waiter was right beside her. To speak up now would only embarrass her.

As for his wife and son, they already had enough money to live comfortably for the rest of their lives. Even without him as their husband and father, they should be able to live well.

Lei Changye frowned; it seemed the Carolingian Empire had many conflicts with Persia and the Rashidun Caliphate. Princess Linda was displeased that Henry, the cynic, was a Carolingian and cursed the people of Rashidun and Persia.

This series of coincidences made her the biggest liability in every game she played, and many players lost interest once it was her turn, leading to a poor gaming experience for her.

Li Jingqiu looked at Li Xuezhu with a wronged expression. Li Xuezhu nodded with a complicated look: “Just give in.”

Not long after, the maids sent away had not yet returned when shouts came from outside the door.

Everything had been fine before—why the sudden change in attitude? The most heartbreaking thing in this world is an abrupt shift in how one is treated.

His actions today were inexplicable not only to those around him but also to himself.

At that moment, the tightly shut door was kicked open, and two figures, one tall and one short, entered the room.

Only a terrifying, extreme gust of wind could be heard. The horrifying hurricane swirled on the spot, stirring an earth-shattering, monstrous wave. The ceaselessly rising giant wave churned wildly, even forming a vast, dreadful whirlpool at that moment.

“You’re here.” Yuan Fei straightened, the murkiness in his eyes instantly clearing to a bright clarity.

“Lasting a month proves you’re tough. Even an average Armor Shedding realm cultivator would struggle to hold out for two weeks without food or water,” Blade said, pushing up his sunglasses with a kindly smile.

Furthermore, the sky was slashed by blades of light at their limit, like terrifying lightning strikes cleaving through space itself, as if they could tear the entire dimension apart.

“Alright, fine. Come with the boss. That third brother will only get worse when he returns if he learns from you. If you ask me, just stay in the capital. Your second brother’s family lives there; during the New Year, your big brother will take you out to see the world properly!” The second brother sneered at the eldest.

Within the Flowing Cloud Sect, only Zhu Rong and Master and Disciple Moon Flowing Cloud had truly encountered Yang Fan. Everyone else merely often heard tales of his exploits.

“What’s wrong? Could it be a bio-chemical ghost?” Su Ling was slightly startled, eyeing Sun Yan’s serious expression, suddenly growing anxious.

However, no matter how fiercely he attacked, his sword could not harm Hua Liansuo in the slightest. Hua Liansuo gradually stabilized his footing and evaded with increasing ease.

Xiao Tie’s repeated actions continuously astonished him, even though he had long been accustomed to the brutal battlefields between the two clans.
