Chapter 32: Calligraphy Teacher Mu Wanqing

Li Meilan stared blankly at her mother-in-law’s retreating figure, watching as she effortlessly struck up conversations with everyone she passed.

"Give me an order of popcorn!"

"Coming right up! That’ll be twenty cents."

Li Meilan busied herself, and when she looked back, Su Li was nowhere to be seen.

Su Li was already inside the clubhouse. The interior was vast, divided into numerous rooms for activities such as table tennis, calligraphy, and music, alongside a large ballroom where social gatherings and mixers were frequently held.

"He went back there!" Xuan Yin’s expression darkened. She understood all too well that once someone entered that place, leaving was truly difficult.

Yao Ling had known for a long time that the young master had sent people to investigate Xi Xichen, but she suspected that uncovering the truth about what happened back then would not be easy.

Far away in Shangcheng, Z Country, Gu Xiran suddenly received a message from her best friend. The message was so brief that she couldn't help but reread it several times.

Luo Qi checked into a five-star hotel. She still had some money in her bank account, so she didn't have to worry about expenses for the time being.

At most, he had only provided a little help from the shadows—a gentle nudge. Bankruptcy or whatever else happened—what on earth did that have to do with him?

Commander Mo always found ways to evade the photographers to steal secret trysts with Gu Xiran. For over half a month, the two of them had managed to turn a relationship that could have been public into something that felt like an illicit affair.

Millennial medicinal pills had long since been lost to history. In this modern era, many spirit herbs were impossible to find, so the medicines produced were nowhere near as effective as those of the past; they were simply not in the same league.

Her voice was like a gentle breeze against the face. Mei Zijian found it delightful, and a faint blush of joy appeared on his face as he marveled at why the lady was so deeply favored.

"Yan Xiaoxiao, have you lost your mind? Are you trying to stir up trouble, or what? You actually want to bring a man back? Are you afraid he won't realize the nature of our relationship?" His tone was half-explanation, half-reproach, yet it had softened considerably.

Inside the quiet room, there were no signs of a struggle. Jin Niang was still trembling, and Ling’er’s corpse lay on the floor, a single wound on her neck—a fatal blow from a sword.

Yun Zhongzi sighed in wonder. As far as he knew, once one reached the realm of a deity—such as a High God—it was further divided into early, middle, late, peak, and consummate stages of breakthrough.

He smiled and coaxed his wife every day, yet little did she know how many nights he spent with a weight pressing on his heart, struggling to breathe. He dared not imagine the consequences if he failed to find the Eccentric Doctor. Now, was this wish finally about to come true? Was the savior he sought finally before his eyes?

In no time at all, the long rainbow woven between the Sea-Stabilizing Pearls had been shredded by Pangu. Although the pearls had lost their connection to one another, their essence remained undamaged; their starlight shone as brilliantly as ever, and the worlds they manifested remained intact.

After slipping out of the sight of Jin Zhenghan and his men, the black man began to run for his life. Everyone loves money, but at a moment like this, it paled in comparison to his life. Realizing that Jin Zhenghan would eventually kill him to tie up loose ends, he saw no point in staying; fleeing early was the smartest choice.

The burly man patted his chest in assurance, his eyes gleaming as they fixed on Yu Qing’s chest. Both men were subordinates of Zhao Datou. Yu Qing had an attractive appearance and figure, and given her dark background, she didn't care much about such matters, leading to a rather chaotic private life.

Caiyun and Caiyue exchanged a knowing glance, giggled, and ran out, closing the door tightly behind them. The room was instantly left to the couple alone.

Inside Sunshine Department Store, although the majority of patrons were wealthy guests looking to spend lavishly, it was not uncommon for people to wander in just to browse without spending a cent.

Pangu held no affection for the Chan Sect or the Chan School; at best, they were rivals, and at worst, it was a blood feud of destroyed sects and endless enmity. Moreover, since his mother’s death was largely caused by the Chan Sect, it was asking too much for Pangu to have a favorable attitude toward them... Therefore, in Pangu’s eyes, seizing the Sea-Stabilizing Pearls brought no psychological burden at all.
