Chapter Ninety-Seven: I Never Care About Money

As night fell, the Rare Treasures Pavilion stood like a gilded pagoda amidst the bustling marketplace.

Its three tiers soared with flying eaves, each floor six meters high, illuminated by golden lanterns that cast a radiant glow upon the glazed tiles.

The entire structure seemed as if it had been cast from molten gold, dazzling and resplendent.

At the entrance, Bai Yujing stood quietly like a steadfast pine, still clad in his sky-blue crane cloak, though now adorned with a jade crown—an indication of the solemnity he attached to formal occasions.

After the two doormen greeted him initially, they...

Though the young man in the silver robe appeared respectful, Bai Yujing could not fail to perceive the defiance simmering beneath his composure. Which among their kind was truly trustworthy?

Ling Xiao suddenly found himself at a loss for words. He had always imagined his parents in a certain light; now, given the chance to truly know them, he was overwhelmed with emotion. He yearned to learn everything and desperately wanted Bai to tell him all that concerned his parents.

Ling Xiao once possessed a Blood Corpse Jade, and the Yin-Yang Ghost Mirror should still be in his possession. How had these items fallen into their hands? Ling Xiao recalled placing the Yin-Yang Ghost Mirror safely in Bai’s custody that day for security. How, then, had it ended up with Liu Wei?

Mad Demon Sage? Wang Dao was puzzled. Could it be that Tian Chengzi had changed his title to “Mad Sage”? The name “Mad Demon” likely stemmed from his frenzied battle spirit.

Yan Changkong nodded slightly. Were it not for their loyalties, he too would be glad to count Meng Hu as a friend.

Upon hearing this, the Elder of the Four Seasons was greatly delighted. His mind stirred, and wisps of energy rose from the center of his brow, flowing into the intricate patterns on the stone coffin.

The observer’s duties were twofold: to safeguard the observation window and to carry out tasks assigned by the senior observers.

After Gu Yannan displayed the jade token, he casually handed it to the person beside him. Soon, the token passed through many hands, each examining it with interest.

True dragons and divine phoenixes soared across the nine heavens, their forms ever-shifting. Yet now, they had all turned as black as ink, no longer golden and radiant as before—no longer sacred or majestic.

“Planning to fight up close? Just as I like!” Su Moyu chuckled and charged forward.

“Damn it!” Xiao Ming leapt down from the wall and witnessed the Thousand Corpse Hidden Man and Shana dispatching the remaining black-clad bodyguards one by one, sparing not even those fallen on the ground. Frowning, Xiao Ming said nothing.

Suddenly, urgent hoofbeats sounded behind Magnus. In the blink of an eye, a scout rode up and halted beside him, leaning in to whisper something in his ear.

She recalled the priest’s warning, and suddenly her mind cleared like crystal. She lifted her head sharply, staring fixedly at the priest before her, disbelief etched across her face. Just because of that pitiful vow, she was now to suffer such retribution, and her family and lover would be caught in the crossfire.

Su Luoman was joyous and glad, feeling exceptionally fortunate. It seemed that wherever she went, whatever setbacks she faced, there was always a benefactor by her side.

A few soldiers immediately began cutting with oxy-fuel torches, sparks flying wildly. Excited Gu Ba and the curious soldiers gathered around the crate, oblivious to their surroundings.

A shadow flickered, and a scholar in his thirties entered. He bowed deeply to Zhang Yi and began reporting what had just occurred.

Yet, at this moment, the tyrant Soren was met with harsh treatment from Landon, who tore into his body without hesitation, letting blood spill across the floor.

Opening the product categories, the new sorting method allowed customers to better find the items they desired.

Su Luoman turned a corner in the corridor, where Xiangcao was already waiting, carrying two large bundles filled with pastries, water bags, and several sets of spare clothes.
