Chapter Thirty: By My Side

Seeing that Huo Jiamei had quieted down, Mother Huo’s anger dissipated, though her expression remained grim and clouded.

As she stepped out of the room, she caught sight of Lin Hui, who had yet to rise from the floor. Her tone was not overtly cruel, but dripping with sarcasm: "Is the floor so comfortable that you’ve decided to make it your seat? Get up and get to work at once!"

Lin Hui frowned at these words, but choosing not to retort, she silently steadied herself, rose with a wobble, and limped away to attend to her chores.

Upon hearing the commotion, the Huo household...

"A meritorious hero certainly deserves a reward. Once we return to Shili City, feel free to ask me, Wen, for whatever you desire. As long as it is within my power, I shall grant it," Wen Kaiyuan declared. He said this, of course, to win over hearts—not just those of Jindong, but of everyone present.

Without realizing it, Principal Liu had finished checking the final long-form question. He was stunned to find that Lin Yin had answered the entire mathematics paper correctly. He stared at her, still hunched over her work, in utter disbelief.

Hahaha, having said that, they were at a loss for words, and the atmosphere suddenly turned awkward.

The selection and fill-in-the-blank page alone gave one a sense of awe, with individual planets serving as the backdrop, slowly orbiting behind the text.

She had known him for eight years, yet she felt she had never truly understood him. He was always so unfathomable, his words and actions perpetually defying convention.

Furthermore, Jinfeng appeared to be a fairy of immense patience and meticulous care; she explained everything to Lu Yuan with such clarity and detail that it was truly impressive.

Due to the strict confidentiality of the filming, no one knew what had transpired with Tang Yuyan. For this duration, she had effectively vanished from the face of the earth; no one knew where she had gone.

The next day, a piece of news swept through the entire Third Immortal Realm like a storm, reaching the ears of everyone participating in the Great Immortal War.

A silent period refers to the duration before and after a company goes public, during which no external information is released. One must remain tight-lipped and endure public commentary; this is what is known as the silent period.

Her vision failed; all she could see was a vast, blinding white, with no trace of the ice-blue left.

With a wave of Quitela’s hand, a sphere of bright energy coalesced and surged toward Xia Ya. A low, rumbling boom echoed through the Star Corridor, causing the dreamlike starry expanse to shudder. Both fighters kept their power tightly contained, preventing the destructive force from spreading.

Then, a series of dull explosions erupted from within the tightly clenched fist. The fist, formed of condensed magical power, merely trembled before remaining motionless in mid-air.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Master Bu paused. He turned to look at the unconscious, elderly man in Elder Lu’s grasp, and the stern-faced Daoist whose complexion was stained crimson and who bore a bloody hole in his chest.

There was no response. At first, Setanta had managed to hold Lista at bay, but as the Dragon Knight Captain pulled a blood-red hand from the scalding mire, the "Fierce Hound" began to lose ground. Duke Alexis frowned deeply and suddenly stepped forward to join the fray.

It seemed there had been a misunderstanding... Xia Ye was still the same Xia Ye, after all; he would never stoop to murder.

Moreover, clad in his silver armor under the spotlight, he truly looked radiant, dashing, and extraordinarily heroic.

As this thought crossed his mind, a certain suspicion in Dongfang Mo’s heart deepened. He wondered if the storage pouch in his hand might be related to the one the Sect Master of the Qingling Dao Sect had tasked him to investigate.

This was the true power of Hawkins’ ability. As long as he had enough substitutes prepared in advance, any damage he sustained would be transferred to them, creating the illusion of a bizarre, impossible death. Anyone unaware of his power would surely mistake him for an immortal being.
