Chapter 60: The Chaos in Qingzhou

Unable to find the Cai family, Madam Ruan spent the entire night weeping and lamenting before Su Li.

Su Li was troubled as well; now the whole household depended on the son outside the city. The son and Cai had always been close, and if he learned of Cai’s disappearance, he might act impulsively.

That night, the Chancellor’s residence was in chaos. The next day, Su Li personally led a group to confront Master Daoling.

Daoling...

“It’s more than just an accident! Today I received word from the inside—Sword Staff Legion thinks seizing the Bone of Eternal Life is too difficult to force outright, so, for whatever reason, they decided to follow our example and use influence to seize the treasure. The faction they chose to ally with is precisely the one you believe is easiest to manipulate: Crown Prince Fusu.

As for materials, he certainly won’t be stingy. Last time he returned to the Immortal Realm from Blue Star, he specially brought plenty of cumin. That spice is a perfect match for barbecue, and as long as it’s paired properly, the flavor is enough to make anyone’s mouth water.

“What are you doing? Who is this? How did you get into the kitchen?” a plump-headed chef shouted as he approached.

“Grandmaster, it’s your turn. I’ve heard the Great Sorrow Underworld King Seal is a supreme Buddhist treasure, its power unparalleled. Today, I want to witness it for myself.” Sha Wutian’s voice came from outside, snapping Feng Jueheng back to attention.

“Let’s go, we’ll head inside, don’t mind them.” Lu Chen waved his hand, cutting off Lu Xinling’s words, and strode ahead of Zhou Jiahao, arrogant and proud.

“I’m only worried they’ll damage Angel Island. If they’re really determined to stand with you, I won’t mind seeing them vanish from the sea.” Yun Fan smiled faintly, then lowered his gaze, scanning the crowd below. His eyes finally settled on John.

“Then I must have been Empress Dowager Cixi in my past life! Why are you and Sha Xifu always criticizing me? If he treated his wife as lovingly as you and Sha Xifu do, never dallied with women outside, how could I be like this to her?” Gao Xiumin protested indignantly.

“Forget it, there’s no point talking about them,” Luo Xiansi waved her hand, uninterested in arguing for the Palace of Divine Transformation.

As for Kamiki Sayun, he stumbled due to that rescue incident, and it was our future Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who rose up and caught the attention of the Third Hokage.

“Yin Yun, I’ll be heading to Europe for a few days. When I return, I’ll come to see you. Since you’ve entered my Lingyun Sect, even if you don’t want to cultivate, you still need some means to protect yourself. I’ll teach them to you in a few days,” Yun Fan suddenly stood up and said to Yin Yun.

Mu Qingyin lowered her head, focusing on her meal. The dishes here were indeed excellent; no wonder Xue Furong was so enthusiastic about eating.

Wang Guishuan’s face was full of flattery; his hands and feet were awkward, uncertain where to place them, and even his words were stammered and hesitant from lack of confidence.

Luffy used his powers to inflate his body into a gigantic balloon, bouncing back the cannonballs.

But he didn’t want her to know those unpleasant things, lest they linger in her mind and affect her mood.

Jing Bai suddenly remembered, Yunsan still had poison unresolved in his body. Chu Wan Ning wanted to ask Yan Luo what had made her so happy, even as her eyes reddened. Yan Luo wiped away her tears, and Yunsan replied, “Ning’er, would you be willing to be a witness for me and Luo’er? We plan to marry.”

Not far from the bustling city, southern merchants well versed in avoiding danger had already taken shelter in a nearby tavern. Watching the foreigners suffer calamity, they shook their heads in dismay.

The scholar in green looked at Ma Jue and Qiu Chuji, who sat cross-legged, striving with all their might to resist his chilling palm. He couldn’t help but show a smug expression, his tone becoming ever more condescending.

This means that in the future, at the World Government Conference, they need not attend, and are likely to face pressure from the navy. But compared to basking in the sunlight and sharing the world on the sea with mankind, what does any of that matter?
