Volume One, Chapter 61: Something’s Amiss

Jiang Weiyue didn’t hand Chen Haodong the water, and yet he truly didn’t feel thirsty. Only when she finally offered him the water did he realize his lips were dry and painfully parched. His throat itched fiercely as well. Perhaps it was due to the excessive blood loss.

Amid the startled exclamations around him, Long Ruhai’s face broke into a proud smirk. His gaze fixed on Yun Mu, full of condescension and superiority.

If this fellow was an otherworldly demon, why was he trapped here? Moreover, it seemed he had been confined in this chaotic, undifferentiated realm for a long time. Shouldn’t this place have forcibly expelled beings after forty-nine days?

The few rifts around were few and not fully open, which meant no celestial beings from beyond could enter for now.

Of course, this was just the ordinary way of taming pets. Special pets were bonded through a blood oath, and coincidentally, the Miao-winged Yellow Bird belonged to this category.

According to examination regulations, teachers from different schools must proctor exams in rotation—meaning teachers from Yuci No.1 High School could not proctor their own school’s exams, only others. The teachers assigned to proctor Yuci No.1’s exams were from Yuci No.3.

After handing over the mission at the Rotten Corpse Rock, Qin Wuyan did not receive any new assignments. Well, there simply weren’t any special tasks for now.

“Can you please leave first? I beg you!” Seeing how anxious she was, Xue Yihuai cooperated and stepped outside.

Originally, they felt a mix of anger and resentment. Their fury and bitterness stemmed from Ye Hao having ruined Jiang Xusheng’s cultivation, completely shattering their hopes of ranking in the mysterious island’s tournament—after all, that was the very reason they came here. How could they not be angry, how could they not feel resentment?

Like a string of firecrackers exploding, sudden bursts erupted all over the body—muscles, bones, and meridians all cracking.

“You can’t bind me, Brother Jing. I said I’m leaving, and I will leave—unless you want me dead.”

Most importantly, they could see that this sword technique appeared incredibly profound. Its subtle mysteries were perhaps not second to the “Tianya Mingyue Dao” at all.

In any case, Chen Xing would never forgive Ye Tian. What he did to Xia Ruo had already cost him the National Preceptor’s favor and trust toward the General’s Mansion.

Even so, he still had strength and stamina. Eventually, the master of the Blissful Heaven Palace intervened personally.

Lu Shenyuan’s sharp, playful gaze swept over her, curious to see what tricks she might play.

In desperation, she twisted her waist like a fish, breaking free from Ma Yiming’s grip. She stepped back and stood against the wall, crossing her arms protectively over her chest.

So, during the time she was away from the Fifth Prince’s residence, what exactly had happened?

“Go check online yourself. We’re just friends, and you still…” Cheng Yuxi’s face flushed bright red. Unable to say such words, she stormed off in a huff.

If the Prime Minister’s Mansion truly joined forces with the National Preceptor, things would become difficult from here on.

Gu Ruoli understood—someone had defaulted on a debt, fled with their family, only to be cornered by creditors here.

Therefore, Yang Bo had no intention of going over. Tomorrow morning, he would let Cao Yuande wait downstairs to handle it.

Although, for her—a time traveler with medical knowledge—the idea of blood-bonding was unscientific, she nonetheless had countless ways to turn this blood oath into irrefutable evidence in court.

Fan Min looked at Zhang Qiguang’s resolute expression and couldn’t help but take him seriously. He regretted having protected Zhang Chengze earlier—would this cause a rift between Zhang Qiguang and himself?
