Chapter 1530 I"m Going to Make a Prophecy
It was an outrageous threat. They were a group of powerful men with guns, but they had been stopped and detained by a college student.
After this one remark from Xu Que, all the people looked at each other one by one and then dropped the guns in their hands. They didn't even consult Xia Luoqing. They just threw their guns into the elevator shaft.
After all, Earth was a harmonious society. If this event had been taking place in the World of Cultivators, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened.
All the Xia family's men in suits thought Xu Que was a real master from beyond this world and not an ordinary man. Since he could pull up and hold an elevator, as well as also control the life-or-death situation of their colleagues in the elevator, then these guns must be no threat to him.
Didn't they just hear him say that guns were prohibited items, so they had been asked to throw them away.
Looking at his lawful awareness, he was certainly a very able man who was seeking to maintain world peace. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a request. He would've long ago started killing them.
Therefore, after the men in suits threw away their guns, they also didn't even have the slightest ability to counterattack. They felt that as long as they threw away their guns, then they would be safe. To be reduced to becoming captives was better than being dead.
After all, since they'd been found to have possessed illegal guns, being hacked to death by the other party could also be considered as self-defense.
"Good, you did well. You can climb out now."
When Xu Que had seen that these people were so cooperative, he nodded his head in satisfaction and looked at the men in suits inside the elevator as he spoke.
Until everyone had come out, Xu Que directly fastened the elevator cable in the elevator shaft to stabilize the elevator so that it did not drop. Then he entered the hallway again.
At this moment, everyone was afraid to act rashly.
As if he had accepted Xu Que's strength, Xia Luoqing truly understood why he was so self-confident.
The middle-aged man had been stupefied for a long time. He had become very clear that it was impossible for even his own master to be at Xu Que's level.
"One hand to pull an elevator at its full capacity? Is this something that can be done by a human?"
"Young man, which…which reclusive and influential martial arts family are you from?" At this time, an old man looked at Xu Que and asked in a dignified manner. Both his hands were still slightly trembling. All the other old people also looked perturbed and their Internal Forces were in turmoil.
"I knew it. I knew our guess was right. There will always be other people better than we are. Even though we have been practicing martial arts since childhood, have an exceedingly high aptitude, and have stepped into the grand master level, there still exists a man stronger than we are. Those people who once perished in the long history of the true martial arts still exist."
Not waiting for Xu Que to respond, the old man shouted excitedly, and his eyes even reddened.
PFFT!
"Old man, don't get so excited. I don't know whether the influential martial arts family exists or not. Anyway, I'm not from it." Xu Que couldn't help laughing and answered the old man, while shaking his head and laughing.
Originally he'd thought that in accordance with the manners of these middle-aged men, these old masters might even presume on their seniority as having a need to teach him a lesson. But now it certainly looked as if this wouldn't be necessary.
Just as well, it would save him a lot of trouble.
"You stay where you are, and wait for a while. I'll make a phone call, that… Boss Lin, right? Lend me your cell phone for a while!" Xu Que said and reached out to Boss Lin.
Boss Lin stared blankly and then warily took a step back while she asked, "Don't you have a cell phone?"
Her first reaction was that she was afraid that Xu Que wanted to check her cell phone. After all, the secrets hidden in her cell phone were too many and involved many big shots.
"You come with me then." Xu Que beckoned to her and went straight into the restaurant.
Boss Lin stood where she was and hesitated, but Xu Que's voice came again, "Old masters, can I trouble you to watch and restrain Xia Luoqing and that bunch of men in suits. Don't let them run away and also don't let them get their hands on the guns. I will grant you a great favor after I'm done with what I'm doing."
Xu Que put emphasis on the word great and immediately added, "Boss Lin, if you don't come right now, believe it or not, do you want me to throw you into the elevator?"
Once Boss Lin heard that, her face suddenly turned pale. She immediately gritted her teeth and strode forward to follow him.
All the eyes of the several old masters brightened.
"D*mn, a great work?"
Several people straight away stared at Xia Luoqing and those men in suits from the Xia family.
Xia Luoqing almost coughed up blood in anger. "Sons of b*tches, I had summoned you as helpers and you have directly betrayed me?"
But the group of men in suits were okay and had no intention of resisting. At least they were now certain that abandoning the guns had been the right choice. Xu Que really didn't have the intention of killing them. He'd just wanted to restrain them.
After all, in the face of absolute strength, resistance was the stupidest thing one could do. Their current situation was the best scenario they could've hoped for.
As a result, the entire hallway was incomparably quiet, and no one caused any trouble.
Moments later, Xu Que and Boss Lin also walked out of the restaurant.
Boss Lin's hair had gotten a little messy, and even her clothes too. Her breathing was a little fast. Her face was also a little flushed as if she had just experienced an extremely thrilling event.
Xu Que hadn't changed. His face still held a hint of a vaguely mischievous smile. He'd had a roguish air throughout the whole process, which disgusted many men but was irresistible to many women.
The appearance of these two people immediately caught the attention of everyone present.
The crowd suddenly raised their eyebrows and were startled.
In particular, Xia Luoqing had a face of utter disbelief. His mouth was slightly agape.
"No way?"
"Is Xu Que so arrogant that he would even dare lay a hand on Boss Lin? What the f*ck, even I, the Young Master, am afraid to touch her. He actually went in to take care of Boss Lin. Could it be possible that he is not aware of who's behind Boss Lin?"
However, Boss Lin was still in a state of shock at the moment.
It had been hard for her to imagine that the college student beside her had such a great ability to get the people who were behind her to engage in talks with him personally and finally reach terms on so many things, including a big event that would shock the entire city.
This was why she'd cut a sorry figure when she came out. Xu Que really hadn't done anything to her. She'd merely listened in on their conversation and was so scared that she'd wiped her sweat off after she'd broken into a cold sweat.
So the moment she came out, she also noticed the strange looks in the eyes of the crowd.
But she didn't take it to heart. Instead, she looked at Xia Luoqing and her eyes couldn't help but hold a hint of sympathy.
Xia Luoqing was doomed.
Everything had happened because this college student named Xu Que next to her had made a promise to that big shot over the phone and the other side did whatever it took to deploy their massive capabilities.
"Well, all the friends watching the live-streaming have been waiting for a long time. Next, I'm going to start performing!" At the same time, Xu Que had already walked back and picked up his cell phone. He smiled at the viewers in the live- streaming room.
As if there was no one next to him, he basically didn't care about the presence of Xia Luoqing and the others. He continued to say into the cell phone, "You may think that I am here today to perform martial arts. Wrong, wrong, the Eighteen Dragon Palms is a mere trifle. What I'm really good at is the ability of prophecy."
Speaking of which, Xu Que suddenly turned his head back and pointed a finger to Xia Luoqing as he said, "Next, I am going to predict that the capital's most infamous Xia Enterprises is about to go bankrupt, and the corruption and scandals of all the officials in the Xia family clan will be uncovered. And the Xia family's Young Master Xia Luoqing…"
The corners of Xu Que's mouth suddenly curled up into a sneer, "He will not be able to bear the sudden grievous news about his family. He will have a nervous breakdown and jump off a building and kill himself."
Chapter 1531 He"s Just Talking Big, Right?
HISS!
Except for a universal intake of breath, it was dead silent everywhere within earshot of that statement from Xu Que.
The bullet comments in the live-streaming room even stopped for several seconds. Not one comment floated by.
Everyone was struck dumb by what they'd heard: the capital's most famous corporation, Xia Enterprises, was about to go bankrupt.
How was this possible? Xia Enterprises had towered over its competition for so many years. It had long been renowned throughout the country and, in fact, throughout the entire world. It had developed a huge set of clients in overseas markets. For a long time, a wave of favorable news about the corporation had broken out and created a stir in the stock market, driving up its stock value. How could it be bankrupt now?
As for the officials in the Xia family, most people didn't know, although those in the inner circle were aware, that it was all because of the old master of the Xia family that they had risen so high. How could the Xia family be sacked for corruption out of the blue like this?
Moreover, even if all those things had happened, even if Xia Luoqing couldn't bear all the bad news, how would Xu Que know that Xia Luoqing would have a nervous breakdown and choose to jump off a building, rather than die in millions of other ways?
What kind of f*cking prophecy was this? It seemed like deliberate sabotage.
"Oh, Xu Que, you're able to kill me, that I don't doubt. But when you said my Xia Enterprises was going to fall from power and go bankrupt, that's an impossible lie. You know nothing about the strength of my Xia family." At this point, Xia Luoqing laughed coldly.
At the moment, he also didn't care that Xu Que was live-streaming. He just openly spoke out loud, not because of hubris or arrogance, but purely because he was emboldened by his rage and he had the self-confidence.
Even though he spoke these fierce words in such a public setting, he didn't have to worry about any consequences at all.
He firmly believed that, because of the strength of the Xia family, it was impossible for the Xia family business to collapse just like that. He also felt certain that they would be able to control this minor public debacle.
"Yes, but my prophecy is very accurate. You just wait and see. I believe it will take effect within half an hour," Xu Que said with a grin, while his fingers tapped his cell phone, bringing up a simple countdown function.
Soon, the bullet comments in the live-streaming room were making a racket.
"Live-streamer, you've got your timing wrong."
"Half an hour is 30 minutes, not ten minutes."
"The live-streamer's math must've been taught to him by a gym teacher."
"Bullsh*t, don't get the gym teacher involved in this, okay? Everyone knows half an hour is 30 minutes. That's common knowledge."
…..
Many people were making a racket because Xu Que had only set ten minutes on the countdown clock.
Xu Que looked calm and said with a light chuckle, "You all have misunderstood. I said that under general circumstances it would take effect within half an hour. But the situation this time is not so general, so ten minutes should be enough."
"Ten minutes?"
The old men who were leading figures in the martial arts world, along with the group of the Xia family's men in suits and Xia Luoqing, were all obviously startled. Soon they had the strangest expressions on their faces.
"The Xia family is going to go bankrupt and collapse in the next ten minutes?"
"How is that possible?"
Even if he had exceedingly effective means, it would still be extremely difficult to accomplish this in ten days, not to mention a mere ten minutes.
"Oh, what a joke!" Xia Luoqing sneered and repeatedly shook his head. He was sure that Xu Que was going to bring disgrace upon himself.
Standing at his side, Boss Lin had slowly regained her calm. She said coolly, "Young Master Xia, the rooftop has been prepared for you. You can take this elevator any time you want to go up."
Xia Luoqing's expression froze as he looked at Boss Lin in astonishment.
"The rooftop has been prepared for me?"
"What a nutcase! You've gone crazy too, haven't you?"
"How can you, Boss Lin, believe what Xu Que said?"
"Besides, even if the Xia family is really in trouble, I, the Young Master, am not incapable of withstanding it. As to that nervous breakdown, I don't think so."
"A saying from ancient times goes, even the lowly cricket and the ant cling to life, so I will never f*cking jump off the building!"
The scene had returned to calm, but the atmosphere seemed more and more threatening.
Xu Que's sense of strategy and his fully confident appearance made everyone feel bizarre and nervous. Even Xia Luoqing was beginning to have doubts about the situation.
"It can't be?"
"It's not likely to go so far, is it?"
"How can my Xia family's worldwide empire be finished like this in ten minutes?"
"Can it be possible that this guy's prophetic ability is completely fake?"
…..
At this moment, an enormous swarm of people had gathered outside of the building. Many of them were people who'd been safely evacuated due to the alert about the elevator breakdown. There was also a small group who'd specially rushed over here because they'd watched Xu Que's live-streaming.
Among them were Xu Que's three college roommates.
They'd come in a car, rushing all the way to the destination, but then they'd been told that they wouldn't be allowed into the building.
The building had been surrounded by the police, who had used police tape to cordon off the building itself and a lot of its surrounding area.
Was it necessary to have all these activities over an elevator breakdown?
"Hey, you guys, look quickly, isn't that our Campus Belle Lin and the beauty who was in the period costume?" Roommate #4, who'd been checking out the area, had just caught a glimpse of Lin Yuxi and Xuanyuan Wanrong in the building.
"Crap, how come the two of them are together?!" Roommate #2 immediately exclaimed when he saw those two beautiful women.
"Can we please forget those two beautiful women for now? Xu Que, Roommate #3, has just made a prediction in the live-stream. I'm afraid he's going to make a fool of himself." The older student who was traveling with them shook his head and looked worried.
This matter today had created such a big ruckus. The Xia family would certainly settle scores with Xu Que at some point. The consequences would be too horrible to contemplate.
"I'm to blame. I shouldn't have lent the live-streaming room to this fool. Now he's gotten crazy from playing. He must have really let it go to his head because he became so popular." Roommate #2 blamed himself.
"F*ck, what's the point of saying this now? No time for recriminations. Let's hurry up and find a way out of this situation," the older student said.
"Find a way out? Why don't we blow up Xia Enterprises?" Roommate #4 said with a serious expression.
Roommate #2 and the older student completely ignored this idea that the dunce had had.
During all this time, Lin Yuxi and Xuanyuan Wanrong had been sequestered by the police and the security guards in a corner of the hotel lobby with a bunch of other people. But they had also been staring at the cell phone screen. Lin Yuxi had received the news about what was going on from her roommates. That was how she knew that Xu Que was actually hosting a live-streaming event and that he had kicked up a fuss with Xia Luoqing.
Originally she'd thought it was just a fight between these two idiotic boys. She definitely hadn't expected to see Xu Que pull up an elevator with his own strength and deter so many men with guns.
What was even more frightening was that now this guy had actually come out with a prophecy that said the Xia family was going to go bankrupt and collapse.
It…it was going too far.
"Is it because of me, or is it…because of her?" Lin Yuxi whispered to herself. Her eyes couldn't help glancing at Xuanyuan Wanrong, trying to guess the reason why Xu Que would do all this crazy stuff.
But she actually knew the answer in her heart. It was definitely because of Xuanyuan Wanrong. After all, this woman was simply too perfect, whether it was her looks or her temperament. She, Lin Yuxi, even though she was known as the campus belle, knew that Xuanyuan Wanrong was way out of her league.
…..
The time slowly ticked by…
Three minutes!
Five minutes!
Nine minutes had passed…
On the top floor of the building, the crowd was staring intently at the time, and they began to feel nervous inside.
And now it was down to the last minute, only a few dozen seconds away from Xu Que's so-called prophecy taking effect.
What would happen in the end?
Was he being serious, or was this guy just talking big?
Even if Xia Luoqing himself was positive that Xu Que's prediction was not going to happen, he couldn't help but start to be nervous at this moment.
TICK TOCK!
TICK TOCK!
The second hand on everyone's watch was still moving along…
Amid the crowd's various states of minds, the ten minutes that Xu Que had first predicted as the time the company would fail had arrived.
All the people raised their heads at the same time and looked at Xu Que.
Xu Que looked at the live-streaming room's countdown clock on his cell phone, which had just come to an end. The corners of his mouth slightly ticked up as he raised his right hand.
SNAP!
He snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "Everybody, the moment to witness the miracle is coming now."
BUZZ!
At that exact moment, Xia Luoqing's cell phone vibrated sharply.
Immediately after, the cell phones of two of the Xia family's men in suits, who could be considered the leaders of this group, also suddenly vibrated.
These three people were startled and immediately took out their cell phones. They took one look at the caller display, and their faces suddenly changed. A chill traveled from the soles of their feet straight up to the crowns of their heads.
…..
Chapter 1532 He"s Close to Falling Apart!
PATTER!
With a crisp sound, the cell phone in Xia Luoqing's hands slipped and fell to the ground.
He had finished listening to the call, and, although only a single line had been said over the phone, he couldn't think of a single response. His face had gone ghostly white as all the color had drained from his face. He had been overcome by fear.
There'd been only one line that had been conveyed in the phone call: "The Xia family has fallen. Run for your life, as quickly as you can!"
Xia Luoqing was very familiar with this cell phone number: it belonged to his father. This had been the first time he'd ever heard his father's voice filled with such trepidation. It had been an utterly unbelievable experience.
The two men in suits who worked for the Xia family raised their heads toward Xu Que at nearly the same time. They were struck with both fear and astonishment.
This young man had actually successfully brought down the Xia family. In a span of only ten minutes, the Xia family and its behemoth-like corporation had collapsed just like that.
"This was too terrifying!"
"Does this fella really know the art of prophecy?"
"D*mn it, how can we accept this? With a single word, he can destroy the entire world?"
"Eh? That was so punctual? I was certain that it was going to be delayed for at least a few minutes." Xu Que's despicable comment rang out, followed by ghastly laughter.
He fixed his gaze intently on Xia Luoqing, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of emotion, not even the pleasure typically felt after an act of revenge.
After all, he had already personally taken revenge on this old rival of his, Xia Luoqing, a long time ago. Presently, in this memory world they were in, Xia Luoqing wasn't really even his enemy anymore.
Now he had made Xia Luoqing and the Xia family his victims, but except for the fact that Xia Luoqing had really courted death of his own accord, Xu Que's motivation for doing all these things he had done today was really only to gain Acting Tough Points for himself.
At this time, the countless viewers of the live-stream had also been stunned.
"This can't possibly be true, can it?"
"Is this true or false?"
"The Xia family is gone just like that?"
"This must be fake. He just picked up a call. It can't mean anything."
"F*ck! Quick, look at the news, guys. Something has really happened."
"The major media corporations have already published press releases online."
"Holy cr*p! I looked it up, and it's indeed true! Xu Que's level of efficiency is way too high."
"This piece of news has even topped the popularity charts on Weibo."
"Horrifying!"
"What the f*ck. There's even a writer on Weibo who's called Lord of the Commoners, who is seeking attention by claiming that he's the one who brought the Xia family down."
…..
Bullet comments flew across the screen line after line, and a simplified wire copy of the copious news was soon released. The gist of the wire copy was that the Xia Enterprise's stock price had declined dramatically in just ten minutes on the stock market, and the CEO had declared the company bankrupt and about to be liquidated. Even some officials belonging to the Xia family had resigned.
All these big pieces of news came out one after another at this moment.
The countless viewers watching the live-stream on the Internet were stunned and found all of this hard to believe.
Xu Que's art of prophecy was capable of making one's toes curl. What a jinx!
"Mr. Xu, there's a call for you." Just then, Boss Lin stepped forward and handed her cell phone to Xu Que, her eyes filled with awe and astonishment.
Previously, when Xu Que had made that important phone call in front of her, she had already gotten some clues from the conversation about who the person was that Xu Que had shared the conversation with on the other end of the line. There were four big clans in the capital, and Xu Que had actually encouraged the person on the other end of the line to form an alliance with the other two clans to carry out a sneak attack on the Xia family.
These four big clans all had the goods on one another. While they did not have the power to kill one another, they were capable of inflicting great damage on one another.
This explains why the four big clans had kept each other in check all this while, with not one clan daring to make a move on another. After all, this would've been a lose-lose situation, which wouldn't have been worth it for any of them.
However, Xu Que had encouraged three of these big clans to form an alliance. While a single clan was incapable of snuffing out the Xia family, the same could not be said if three clans worked together against the Xia family. The end of the Xia family was certainly a possibility.
Furthermore, it only took ten minutes for this sneak attack to be completed.
"Hello." Xu Que took Boss Lin's phone from her hands with a smile on his face.
"Young man, this matter has been settled. It's your turn to fulfill your promise, isn't it?" An old, somber voice was on the other end of the line.
This was one of the moguls of the four big clans, as well as the important figure behind Boss Lin.
He was now speaking to Xu Que on behalf of these three big clans who had joined together to destroy the Xia family. They had successfully joined forces to deal with the Xia family and had even done so in a clear-cut manner, defeating the Xia family to the point of no return. Now, he needed Xu Que to keep his end of the bargain.
This promise was also the reason why these three big clans had chosen to join forces against the Xia family without any hesitation.
Xu Que had to contribute one medicinal item, as well as one pill recipe. The Diamond Energy Pill was the item that Xu Que had promised to give the three big clans.
His various acts of demonstrating his strength, including wrenching an elevator in one of his live-streams, were simply his ways of showing the three big clans that his immense strength had stemmed from the Diamond Energy Pill, which could increase one's bodily strength by 100 times.
In normal times, such an absurd claim wouldn't have been bought by anyone.
But Boss Lin was the trusted subordinate of that mogul, and, additionally, Xu Que had indeed displayed his corresponding strength. Hence, the possibility of this being a sham was low, and the three big clans had been sorely tempted.
Even if the Xia family had made one final attack in retaliation before its death and caused certain damage after the three big clans had joined forces, this didn't seem too much of a threat, as compared to the Diamond Energy Pill.
As soon as the'd gotten hold of the pill recipe, conducted research, and carried out mass production, the resulting effects would be hard to imagine, even if they had diluted the recipe.
This had worldwide implications for them, so the worry about receiving a counterattack from the Xia family didn't even register.
So, just because of a verbal promise from Xu Que, the three big clans took action directly, even without a contract in place.
This courage of theirs was extraordinary. It was no wonder that they could become the biggest clans in the capital and remain in power for so many years.
But this time, they were destined to be disappointed.
If this had happened in reality, Xu Que might have given the matter some consideration or even collaborated with these three big clans, but this was merely the world of his memory.
He was simply fooling around. Even if things did get out of hand, he would just have to accumulate more Acting Tough Points and flee without caring about the consequences.
This explains why he wasn't flustered at all. This time, he was going to deceive not just the Xia family, but also the other three big clans. Anyway, these four big clans had done their fair share of dirty deeds, so deceiving them could be deemed a national contribution.
"Don't worry, Old Zhao. You can ask around. I, Xu Que, am a man of my word. Tonight at 8 o' clock, I will hand the pill and the recipe for it to you. Be there or be square." Xu Que laughed into the phone.
Upon hearing this, Xia Luoqing and the other members of the Xia family felt a tremor in their hearts.
"Old Zhao?"
"D*mn it, this was indeed an act of the Zhao family. And the two other families had been involved, otherwise, the Xia family wouldn't have fallen so quickly."
"I nearly believed this darned art of prophecy."
"How despicable. Have these three big clans gone mad? Aren't they afraid of being hurt along with us?" Xia Luoqing was enraged, and his eyes glowed with anger.
He balled his hands into fists and glared at the men in suits standing nearby, saying in a deep voice, "Let's retreat! Take me to the airport first. In five years or less, I'll make sure the Zhao family and the other two families regret this."
Upon finishing his words, he began to take his leave.
Since the Xia family had already fallen and his father had even called him personally to tell him to leave, there was no longer any point in staying. It made more sense to keep himself alive first.
"Hey, wait! Quick, stop Young Master Xia from leaving." Xu Que ended the call and exclaimed all of a sudden.
With a wave of Boss Lin's hand, a few men immediately ran toward Young Master Xia and blocked his way.
Xia Luoqing was stunned.
At the same time, Xu Que held the phone that was still live-streaming and pointed it directly toward Xia Luoqing, saying cheerily, "Look, everyone. Sure enough, Young Master Xia couldn't stand the blow, and he's even starting to be delirious. Based on my 50 years of clinical experience, he's going to have a mental breakdown in no time at all."
Upon hearing this, Xia Luoqing almost vomited blood.
"Come on! In what way am I in a trance now? I'm clearly very energetic, very calm, and especially rational, okay?"
…..
Chapter 1533 He Can Leave
"Quick, stop him! Don't let him get to the rooftop." Xu Que exclaimed loudly, his fingers pointing at Xia Luoqing, his face grave.
SWISH!
A few of Boss Lin's black-clad men immediately surrounded Xia Luoqing and grabbed his arms as he was writhing about wildly.
Xia Luoqing was completely dumbfounded.
"What are you talking about?"
"What the h*ll are you doing?"
"Are you here to stop me? Why are you holding onto my legs and dancing around?"
"Young Master Xia, stop struggling! We wish to save you, but you have to try to restrain your grief too. It's okay if your clan has fallen. The most important thing in life is to be happy. Don't do any foolish things." Xu Que kept on talking to Xia Luoqing earnestly as if he was counseling him to keep him from jumping off the roof.
While all this was happening, his cell phone was still being pointed directly at Xia Luoqing. To anyone who didn't know any better, Xia Luoqing, who was flailing about in the arms of a few men in black, looked like he was struggling.
But the problem was, considering the various hints Xu Que had dropped previously, as well as Boss Lin's words about the rooftop being prepared for Xia Luoqing, everyone realized that something was up, at least many viewers did.
It seemed that this pr*ck really didn't intend to jump to his death.
"Let go of me, I said let go of me, I'm not jumping, for f*ck's sake." Xia Luoqing hollered angrily. But before he could finish his words, his mouth had already been covered by one of the black-clad men.
"What did you say, don't jump, what? If you don't jump you couldn't be considered a true member of the Xia family? How could you spout such ridiculous words! You guys, hold him back properly. You mustn't let him break free, or he'll go to the rooftop to jump to his death for sure." Xu Que commanded the black-clad men solemnly.
Having understood Xu Que's intentions, the men in black nodded their heads and pretended to loosen their grip on Xia Luoqing accidentally, all at the same time.
The next moment, Xia Luoqing successfully broke free all of a sudden, and as he fell to the ground, the black-clad men instantly cried out, "Young Master Xia, don't be like this!"
Following that, they rushed forward all at the same time, pretending to grab hold of Xia Luoqing, when, in reality, they were pushing Xia Luoqing toward the stairs instead.
"No. Quick, hold him back!" Acting as if he were torn with grief and exasperation, Xu Que yelled and rushed forward. His phone camera was shaking correspondingly and was no longer pointed directly at Xia Luoqing.
The masses tuning in to the live-stream were at once affected by the tense atmosphere and all in a state of shock.
This fella's acting is fake as f*ck!
But the thing is, he's not going to make Xia Luoqing jump to his death for real, is he?
Is he really putting so much on the line?
…..
Downstairs and outside, while all of this was happening, Xu Que's dormitory roommates, who had witnessed this whole spectacle on the live-stream, were horrified and almost out of their minds from confusion.
"Was…was this still the Xu Que that they knew?"
It was pretty normal for him to be more scheming than he let on, but since when had he progressed to become this callous?
It was terrifying enough that he had caused the fall of the Xia family, but now it seemed as if he had no intention of letting Xia Luoqing off, and was planning to drive Xia Luoqing to jump to his death.
This was clearly a monster, live and in action.
In the building, Lin Yuxi and Xuanyuan Wanrong were watching the live-stream on Lin Yuxi's phone too.
"He…is he really going to kill Xia Luoqing?" Lin Yuxi was terrified. To her, a young college student, the fall of the Xia family didn't seem to be all that shocking.
After all, the Xia family was so influential that even if it fell, it would only suffer from this fall in nominal terms, which made things much less consequential and thus less unsettling.
Just like during the financial crisis brought about by the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers back in the day, despite its sudden occurrence, the common folk only understood this matter in conceptual terms and didn't experience firsthand the impacts of the event.
But now, Xu Que's performance in such a public setting was clearly an attempt to make Xia Luoqing jump to his death.
While he appeared to be stopping Xia Luoqing on the surface, those who had watched the entire live-stream knew very clearly his true intentions. He had dropped too many intentional hints in the beginning, as if he was afraid it wouldn't be known that he had done all of this deliberately.
"And so what if he does? Why not?" Xuanyuan Wanrong said nonchalantly.
She could tell that Xia Luoqing was not a good guy, but Xu Que wasn't one either, so it didn't matter to her which one of them died in this battle of two evils.
"Wait, no, Xu Que couldn't die. After all, this concerned her life too."
In that case, whether or not Xia Luoqing died was really none of her concern.
"B…but it's illegal to kill someone. What if Xu Que gets sent to jail…" Lin Yuxi had already thought about all the possible consequences.
Given the way Xu Que had gone about doing this, it was very likely that he could be charged with homicide or for abetting homicide.
"It's all right." Xuanyuan Wanrong replied indifferently. It didn't matter even if Xu Que had to be sent to jail, as long as he didn't die and implicate her, nothing mattered.
"It's all right? How is this all right? What if…" Lin Yuxi began.
THUD!
Before she could finish her sentence, a loud, dull noise sounded outside the building. It was as if a hefty object had fallen from the sky and in the process created a deep and resounding crash.
That noise was soon followed by cries and shrieks that came from outside the building. It was abnormally intense.
In no time, Lin Yuxi froze in stunned silence. The color had drained from her face, and she didn't dare to move an inch. She didn't even have the courage to find out what had happened outside.
Because it seemed as if she could already guess what had happened, even without looking.
At this moment, her mind went blank.
However, following that initial blankness, several images flashed through her mind ceaselessly.
Throughout her past year at college, Xu Que had constantly been on her mind.That Xu Que, who had a dazzling and cherubic smile, that Xu Que who had a knack for making her laugh with his weird antics all the time, that Xu Que who would pay no heed to danger by climbing a tree just to save a stray cat…
BANG!
All of a sudden, those images that reminded her of a time that had been wonderful were abruptly shattered by complete darkness.
Instead, a face exuding unruliness and an evil charm, equipped with a ruffian-like smile, flooded her mind: Xu Que!
He was still Xu Que, but it was as if he had changed from his previously silly and kind-hearted self to becoming a demon through and through.
"What's happening? Why…does this all feel a little familiar? I…" Lin Yuxi fell into a trance all of a sudden. Vaguely, she seemed to feel something familiar calling out to her, but she couldn't tell where it was coming from.
"Hmm?" Upon discovering this change in Lin Yuxi, Xuanyuan Wanrong was a little startled.
She seemed to sense the motion of a strange spiritual Qi in the space between heaven and earth. The empty space beside Lin Yuxi seemed to warp a little, before returning to normal.
"What's up with this woman?" Xuanyuan Wanrong wondered, expressing her shock to herself silently.
Why would such a situation occur in Xu Que's world of memory?
…..
DING! "Congratulations to the host on acting tough successfully. You have been awarded 300 Acting Tough Points!"
The System beeps in Xu Que's mind were still ongoing.
He looked attentively at the total number of Acting Tough Points he had accumulated on the System interface. He had successfully attained 3,000 points, which was enough for him to break out of this memory world and return to the Heaven Continent.
"Does the host confirm his decision to spend 3,000 Acting Tough Points on breaking this field by force?" asked the System.
"Confirm!" Xu Que nodded immediately, without the slightest bit of hesitation.
This was the only way for him to leave because he and Xuanyuan Wanrong didn't have any means to develop feelings for each other in this tragic romance. Besides, neither of them had any desire to get together, so their relationship wouldn't have succeeded even if they had gone by the normal route.
DING! "The System has begun breaking apart the memory world. The entire process is expected to be complete within approximately three hours. Please be prepared."
Upon hearing this, Xu Que's eyes got wide. "What the f*ck, this will take three hours? D*mn it, thank goodness I was smart enough not to push Xia Luoqing for real, or I wouldn't have been able to escape legal sanctions during these three hours!"
Xu Que heaved a sigh of relief, and his eyes went toward Xia Luoqing, who was still unconscious and lying at his feet.
Indeed, he hadn't actually made Xia Luoqing jump to his death. He had merely tossed a high-quality silicon doll off the building and made it break into smithereens in front of Xia Luoqing. And that was enough to make Xia Luoqing wet himself.
Not long after, when Xu Que had dragged him to his feet, Xia Luoqing had passed out on the spot.
However, this was also partly due to the fact that Xu Que had accumulated enough Acting Tough Points. If he hadn't, he might have thrown Xia Luoqing off the building for real, just to complete his final act.
"Ah, forget it! You're spared!"
Xu Que looked at Xia Luoqing, who was still lying on the floor, and laughed before turning to head toward the stairs, leaving the rooftop.
His state of mind had long changed. He was no longer bothered by the past, nor ex-enemies he had already taken revenge on. In fact, he had already let go of everything that had happened in the past a very long time ago.
The present Xu Que was a lot more mature and could take things much more easily.
Most important, he no longer held grudges as he had in the past.
That's because now he would seek revenge immediately on the spot in the event of anyone p*ssing him off.
BUZZ!
As soon as he'd descended the stairs, the phone in Xu Que's pocket began to vibrate.
A call had come from the Zhao family!
"Hello." Xu Que picked up the phone right away.
The voice on the other end of the line was not the voice of Elder Zhao, but, rather, some young person. It was a young voice, laced with the slightest bit of arrogance.
"Hello? Are you Xu Que? I'm Zhao Zhi's eldest son. Before you meet my grandfather and the rest at 8 o'clock tonight, could you come to meet me at the Luminous Bar. I have a huge deal to discuss with you."
Upon saying this, the person on the other end of the line continued coldly, "Oh, right. You can bring a few of your friends over to join us too. I, Young Master Zhao, am footing the entire bill tonight."
…..
Chapter 1534 Shocking!
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
After the other party had finished speaking, he immediately hung up the phone.
Hearing the dial tone, Xu Que couldn't help but be shocked. Sh*t, why the h*ll was Young Master Zhao so arrogant? What was so great about paying the bill for everyone? He could always dine and dash.
"Three hours, okay. Anyway, I have nothing else to do. I'll just take advantage of this time to come and beat you up!" Xu Que looked down at the time, as he smiled slyly.
Since this guy had voluntarily asked him to come see him, asking for a beating, there was no reason not to go.
Anyway, it would take three hours for the System to get him out of this world. After beating up this arrogant guy, he wouldn't need to clean up his mess and could directly get away.
"Mr. Xu, this way, please. The car is ready." Walking out of the stairwell, Boss Lin immediately came forward and spoke respectfully to Xu Que.
At this moment, she'd already understood how much weight Xu Que carried. He had been able to talk directly with Zhao Lao, carry out a transaction, and have Zhao Lao unite all the parties. To arrange the downfall of the Xia Family in such a short amount of time, this was not an easy feat.
Therefore, she felt the need to re-examine this young man, as well as show the greatest respect to him in order to make up for all her previous disrespect toward Xu Que.
"Don't be so anxious, my appointment with Zhao Lao is only at 8 o'clock. It's only 6 o'clock now. I still have two hours left. Let me go here first," Xu Que said, showing the text message he had received on his cell phone to Boss Lin.
There was only one address written in the text message, and it had evidently been sent by Young Master Zhao. It was a nightclub.
Boss Lin looked at the phone and froze for a moment, but didn't say anything. She nodded immediately and ordered her men to arrange a car and change the itinerary.
Soon after that, Xu Que glanced at the others present.
The martial arts masters hadn't left yet. They were staring at Xu Que, waiting for Xu Que to fulfill his promise and give them a little piece of enlightenment.
In this area, Xu Que wasn't stingy. He purchased a few small secret skill manuals from the System store, plus several kinds of pill recipes, and handed all of it to an old white-haired man.
The main reason he'd felt like helping out these men was that they didn't seem to be bad people and weren't guilty of any heinous crimes. Even if it was just a fake world, it didn't matter if he gave them some benefits.
"Take this back and study it carefully. It doesn't matter if this doesn't progress your martial arts. The important thing here is character. Look at your apprentices. They practice martial arts just to bully the weak. Is that any martial arts spirit? As a martial arts practitioner, don't you feel ashamed?"
While speaking, Xu Que lashed out without thinking.
"Mr. Xu is right, we must pay attention to this in the future!" Several old men bowed their heads and responded.
This was really humbling listening to Xu Que's words. After going back, the master internally vowed that he must vigorously take charge of the moral teaching of his group of disciples and must never let them go out and become a disgrace again.
If they encountered a more ruthless and stronger opponent next time, their entire faction could be ended in minutes.
Fortunately, this time they had met a good person. A real grand master who had generously given them these secret skill manuals and pill recipes. In the future, Chinese martial arts would become even more advanced.
With excitement and shame, they watched as Xu Que and Boss Lin left, their hearts filled with respect.
At the same time, downstairs in the building, the cordon had not been lifted yet, and Xuanyuan Wanrong and Lin Yuxi were still unable to go upstairs.
The key point was that Xu Que's live-stream room had also been closed, and now no one knew what was happening upstairs.
However, after being examined by the police, it turned out that the thing that fell from the roof wasn't Xia Luoqing, but a human-shaped silicone object that had been originally lifelike, but it had broken into many pieces and become unrecognizable.
After an investigation, this became a case of littering. The suspect who was arrested and locked up was Xia Luoqing, who was on the rooftop of the building, as the police were ready to launch the surround and capture movement.
But to everyone's surprise, Xu Que actually didn't kill Xia Luoqing. They had all thought that this would be a murder case. After all, if even the Xia family could be destroyed, it was a small matter to cause the accidental death of Xia Luoqing.
So Xu Que didn't kill Xia Luoqing. Many people felt this was because Xu Que was probably not the kind of wicked person that they had imagined him to be.
But Xuanyuan Wanrong was surprised. When did this guy become so soft-hearted? Was there any unforeseen event?
DING!
Soon, an elevator bell rang.
The elevator door opened slowly, and the people who walked out made Xuanyuan Wanrong feel slightly relieved.
Xu Que had come down and was still in one piece. He had a familiar smile on his face, which proved that the matter had been resolved.
"Yo, after changing your clothes, you look so magical." Xu Que came out of the elevator door and immediately caught sight of Xuanyuan Wanrong in the crowd.
He couldn't help it, this woman was too eye-catching. Not only with the eye-catching ancient costume, but also now changed into modern clothes, she was still so conspicuous and full of immortality.
"Oh, so you know how to give praise?" Xuanyuan Wanrong sneered, but her impression of Xu Que didn't change much, especially since this guy had a bad heart. The words from his mouth were unlikely to be sincere.
Xu Que didn't care what Xuanyuan Wanrong thought of him. It was just a few hours before this tribulation of love could be passed, and then it all wouldn't matter.
"Let's go. I'll take you to a fun place." He waved his hands and walked straight to the exit.
Boss Lin was stunned and hurriedly stopped him. "Mr. Xu, the car is in the underground parking lot. Isn't it more convenient if we walk underground?"
She was hinting to Xu Que that the exit was full of people. They had mostly come after watching Xu Que's live-stream. If Xu Que were to leave at this time, it would definitely cause a commotion.
"No, no, no. We are open and aboveboard and must walk out the main entrance. Ask the driver to drive the car up!" Xu Que waved his hands and walked toward the exit, full of expectation.
She must be joking. How could he pass up such a good opportunity to act tough in front of thousands of staring eyes?
However, when Xu Que stepped out of the exit, it didn't cause any reaction.
Amid the crowd surrounding the outside the building, a lot of discussions were still ongoing, and no one seemed to care too much about Xu Que, who had just walked out.
Even if someone saw him, they only gave him a quick glance, without paying him too much attention.
"Sh*t, this is not how I thought it was going to be." Xu Que was stunned.
Boss Lin was also stunned. She had never thought that the reaction would be so calm.
"What's going on?" Xu Que was somewhat lost.
Beside him, Lin Yuxi blinked and whispered, "It may be that you opened the beauty function while live-streaming, so…"
"….." In that instant, Xu Que's mouth twitched.
He had to admit, his current face was indeed not as delicate and handsome as it was in the World of Cultivators. At most, he was a guy who was slightly handsome and was far from being a handsome man.
But either way, he was someone who was still distinguishable, and it definitely wasn't to the extent that he wouldn't be recognized if the beauty function had been turned off.
"Xu Que!" At this moment, someone yelled his name.
Xu Que was stunned and turned his head to see his three roommates quietly squeezing through the crowd.
"Eh, why have you come?" Xu Que asked.
"Because I saw your live-stream and was worried that you might be in trouble. How are you?" The oldest of them asked immediately.
"How else could I be. You came at the right time, come, I'll bring you to act tough." Xu Que smiled, too lazy to explain, and just waved his hands, walking forward.
The car arranged by Boss Lin had already driven out of the underground parking lot, and seeing Xu Que get in the car, the others followed him one after another.
After the car started up, the people in the car fell silent, and everyone looked at Xu Que.
Lin Yuxi thought about it for a moment and finally couldn't help but open her mouth, "Xu Que, you…"
CRUNCH!
Before she could finish speaking, the car that had just accelerated suddenly braked hard. The friction between the tires and the ground produced an ear-piercing sound and made everyone in the car suddenly jerk forward as their heads began to spin.
Only Xu Que stayed clear-headed. He looked forward, through the glass windshield of the car, and saw a shocking scene. He couldn't help but gape with his mouth open. He said in amazement, "How is that possible?"
…..
Chapter 1535: Trouble in the Heaven Continent
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Que looked shocked. His eyes got super-wide as he stared at the scene in front of him.
On the spacious road that they'd been driving on, the void had actually broken up. It wasn't that the road had been broken, but that the void in front of him had broken open and become filled with a scene that didn't belong to this modern world on Earth.
It looked like a mirage, or even a movie, and it was very shocking to see from the void right in front of them.
This would've surprised any ordinary people, but Xu Que became terrified because he recognized that the scene in front of him was actually a scene from the Heaven Continent.
In the scene, wars were raging in the sky, with countless cultivators controlling magical weapons, soaring into the sky and turning into streams of light. Thousands of bright Magic Arts collided in the sky, splashing and bursting, like a shower of fireworks. It was breathtaking.
This was a scene of warfare, terrifying brutal warfare. Because all the silhouettes were densely packed, it was difficult for Xu Que to estimate the exact number of people involved, but he could tell that at least half of all the cultivators in the Heaven Continent must be taking part in this battle. There were cultivators of all different strengths and existences. There were Heaven Celestials, Golden Celestials, Taiyi Celestials, Golden Celestials of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, and even Celestial Kings and Celestial Primes.
Xu Que could catch glimpses of some familiar figures in that large crowd of people.
The Holy Mother of Jade Lake was there, leading many female disciples from her sect, and the Saint, Bai Cailing, was also among them. They were struggling to make use of their Magic Arts, blasting them into the sky and hitting the enemy outside of the scene, in a part of the battle that Xu Que couldn't see.
The Divine Farmer Clan, the Dark Shadow Pagoda Sect, the Fangcun Celestial Sect, and many other sects from all the different realms that Xu Que had ties with were all involved in this war and were all attacking whoever the enemies were that Xu Que couldn't see.
Evidently, this battle had activated all the ancestors of the 14 Celestial Realms in the Heaven Continent.
"What's going on, what does this scene mean?"
Xu Que was horrified that the Heaven Continent was actually taking part in this great battle. Who were they fighting, or…whose invasion were they defending against?
"This…"
At that moment, Xuanyuan Wanrong, who was in the car with Xu Que, also exclaimed, as her expression had instantly become very serious.
She had also seen the scene outside the car, but from her expression, she didn't seem to be very shocked. She seemed to be more anxious and vigilant.
"What's the matter, what is this?" Several roommates from Xu Que's dormitory were sitting in the back of the car. They had also seen what was going on in front of the vehicle and were stunned.
After the initial shock and whiplash had worn off a bit, Boss Lin frowned and asked in a low voice, "This is outrageous. Who put this virtual projection on the roadway?"
"This is not a virtual projection." Xu Que stroked his chin and spoke in a deep voice. His gaze looked toward Xuanyuan Wanrong, and he asked, "Did something happen in the Heaven Continent?"
"Yes, it has happened faster than I had expected…" Xuanyuan Wanrong nodded, but, then halfway through the sentence, her beautiful eyes suddenly became cold, as she stared hard at Xu Que as she asked, "You know the Heaven Continent? You already have memories?"
"I've had them for a long time already. Now is not the time to care about all these details. Quickly tell me about the Heaven Continent!" Xu Que waved his hands and urged her.
The Heaven Continent was in such a mess that he had no desire to keep on pretending. He was just worried about the safety of Jiang Hongyan and the others.
However, with two clever people like Buttface and Duan Jiude around, in addition to the fact that everyone was hiding in that cave, he didn't expect that it would be too dangerous for them.
However, their situation in the cave could only be temporary. Who knew what kind of crisis the Heaven Continent was facing now. If he didn't go back soon, it could be too late to do anything.
"The Heaven Continent has another name. It is also called the Sky Boat." Xuanyuan Wanrong stared at Xu Que for a while with a pale face and spoke slowly, "This is the only continent that can lead to the Divine Realm. If the shackles have already been broken, the other continents will naturally come to fight over the Heaven Continent."
"So they are now fighting against cultivators from other continents? It doesn't seem like that," Xu Que said.
This didn't seem right. According to Zixia Fairy, the Heaven Continent was a continent that had been sealed off for many years, and its strength level was much weaker than its surrounding continents. For example, the strength of the Celestial Cloud Continent was much greater than that of the Heaven Continent. It had four great Celestial Emperors ruling over it.
If the shackles on the Heaven Continent had indeed been broken, it would've been very easy for these continents to occupy the Heaven Continent. There would have been no need to attack like this. All that they would've needed was for a Celestial Emperor or a Celestial Prime strongman to come forward, and the Heaven Continent would've lost without a fight.
But in this situation that was appearing in the void in front of them, the cultivators of the Heaven Continent and the sects from all the 14 Celestial Realms were all united and fighting against foreign enemies, which seemed quite unbelievable.
The people from the Heaven Continent uniting and fighting against foreign enemies? This had never happened before.
"Yes, you're right. This doesn't seem likely." Xuanyuan Wanrong nodded in response to Xu Que's analysis.
The cultivators of the Heaven Continent didn't seem to be fighting cultivators of other continents.
"So what the h*ll is going on now?" Xu Que was baffled.
He had been staring at the scene outside the car, but he could only see the cultivators of the Heaven Continent fighting and not the other areas, such as who the people from the Heaven Continent were fighting against.
"What's going on, what are the two of you talking about?" At this moment, the older student from Xu Que's dormitory interrupted their reverie.
Only now did Xu Que discover that all the people in the car were looking at him and Xuanyuan Wanrong with stunned and confused faces. Evidently, they didn't understand the conversation between the two of them.
Xuanyuan Wanrong ignored them and stared at the scene in front of her. After a while, she said in a deep voice, "If I'm not guessing wrongly, the things that had been sealed in the shackles have appeared."
Hearing this, Xu Que didn't care what the others thought anymore and asked in shock, "What things?"
Xuanyuan Wanrong's words made Xu Que feel a sense of horror. "What did she mean by those things? Did she mean that the Heaven Continent was not fighting against people, but some weird things?"
"After the war between the Gods and the Demons back in the old days, the Divine Realm was sealed. At the same time, in order to protect the Sky Boat, a Divine King got involved and locked everything in shackles, sealing them inside. Hence, there was enough capability to seal up the Sky Boat until the present," Xuanyuan Wanrong said.
Xu Que suddenly rolled his eyes with anxiety. "Although what you are talking about is not irrelevant, what I am most concerned about are those things. What exactly are those things?"
Xuanyuan Wanrong stared at Xu Que with her beautiful eyes, harboring a murderous spirit. If she had been in the Heaven Continent and if her strength as a cultivator was back, she would've definitely given Xu Que a slap.
BUZZ!
At this time, the vibration of a cell phone sounded in the car.
It was Boss Lin's cell phone.
At the moment, she was deeply immersed in the conversation between Xu Que and Xuanyuan Wanrong with a stunned expression on her face. When the call came in, she didn't react immediately and remained looking, shocked, at Xu Que.
Roommate #4 had thought that his own cell phone had been ringing, and he'd taken it out to have a look. He found that there was no call, but seemed to have seen something else. His expression changed suddenly, and he said in surprise, "Sh*t, there is going to be a great change, right?"
"What do you mean?�� Several of the other people looked at him.
Xu Que didn't ask Xuanyuan Wanrong what this meant and instead looked at the screen of Roommate #4's phone.
It was opened to a news page with a video attached.
Xu Que's pupils got huge, and he said, "Quick, open the video."
He wasn't feeling calm anymore, because the thumbnail of the video had also sent a projection of the Heaven Continent, but it was a projection from a different angle.
Most important, in that scene Xu Que could see a familiar dog's shadow in the crowd.
…..
Chapter 1536: Don't Speak!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Sh*t!" Xu Que was alarmed.
In the video on the cell phone, he'd actually seen Buttface, with his coquettish movements and stupid expressions. His characteristics weren't something that other dogs could imitate.
This had caused Xu Que's heart to jump.
Since Buttface was on that battlefield, it had to mean that Jiang Hongyan and the others may have already come out from their hiding place and hadn't continued to stay in the cave. He was afraid that they might've encountered unforeseen circumstances, otherwise, they would never have taken the risk to come out.
He had to get back quickly.
"System!" Xu Que thought for a moment and called out the System interface. "Is there any way to speed this up, I want to go back immediately."
DING! "Abnormal fluctuations have been detected in this world. The preliminary judgment is that the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi has suffered an accident, and, as a result, the structure of the world of memory had been affected. The System will recalculate the amount of time needed to crack the prohibition." After the System provided this report, it fell silent.
Xu Que looked up at Boss Lin and said in a deep voice, "Quick, get someone to find all the places where this kind of scene has appeared in the city, and retrieve all the videos for me."
"Okay." Boss Lin nodded hurriedly as if realizing that something was wrong with these scenes. She quickly took out her cell phone and prepared to make a call.
But, the next moment, her arm suddenly froze and her expression stiffened. Her body flickered a few times like a bundle of light and shadows and became somewhat illusory.
"Ah!" Almost at the same time, Lin Yuxi cried out in shock.
Xu Que was surprised and turned his head subconsciously. Lin Yuxi was covering her mouth in shock as she looked at Xu Que's three roommates in horror.
Like Boss Lin, these three people seemed frozen in place. They were like robots who had suddenly turned off and become stuck in place. Their bodies seemed to have turned into a bunch of garbled data, occasionally flashing, and becoming illusory.
"This world is about to collapse." Xuanyuan Wanrong frowned.
To some extent, this was a good thing, because the collapse of the world of memory meant that they could leave.
But she also had some worries. Leaving didn't mean that they had passed the relationship tribulations. If they didn't earn the recognition of the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi, it might conclude that their relationship tribulations had failed and wipe them out.
Xu Que also frowned and had a strange expression on his face.
Although he'd already known that this world was a virtual one and was only existing because the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi had restored it from his memory, his few roommates were the people who he'd had the best relationships with in the past, and now that they were suddenly turned into a bunch of data, he felt uncomfortable.
However, what was fake would always remain fake. Xu Que was not as holy as to want to keep this world, and, furthermore, he didn't have that ability.
"Hey, something was not right." Suddenly, Xu Que seemed to realize something else. He glanced at Lin Yuxi, then turned his head to look out the window and took in the surroundings.
At this moment, all the tall buildings and various pedestrians had already been turned into lines of data code, glowing and continuously blinking.
But Lin Yuxi was still sitting in the car, perfectly fine, with a look of panic on her face. Everyone in this world of memory was collapsing. Why was Lin Yuxi still fine?
Xu Que looked at Lin Yuxi once again, a little confused.
Was it possible that Lin Yuxi was a key character of this relationship tribulations, so she had remained?
"Xu Que!" At this time, Xuanyuan Wanrong suddenly looked at Xu Que and solemnly called out his name.
Xu Que was stunned and looked toward Xuanyuan Wanrong. The two of them faced each other, and Xuanyuan Wanrong said expressionlessly, "Quickly!"
"Quickly?"
"What was going on?"
Xu Que looked dazed.
Xuanyuan Wanrong said, "There's no time left, you have to fall for me immediately!"
"???"
Xu Que was dumbfounded and almost vomited out blood.
"Was she really dumb or pretending to be dumb? Fall for her immediately? How could he fall for her just because she said so? Was he, Xu Que, such a loose person?"
"You, come here." Xuanyuan Wanrong spoke again.
With a serious expression on her face, she let out a deep breath, as if she had made some major decision. She raised both her hands and placed them unnaturally on Xu Que's shoulders. Evidently, this was an awkward movement for her. She was not familiar with this kind of movement.
Standing on the side, Lin Yuxi was very confused. All the crazy changes in the external world and the strange conversations between Xuanyuan Wanrong and Xu Que made her almost lose her ability to think logically.
Xu Que was confused and didn't understand what Xuanyuan Wanrong was about to do, but he found that Xuanyuan Wanrong's hands had exerted a slight force to pull him forward, facing Xuanyuan Wanrong in close proximity.
"What are you doing?" Xu Que was stunned.
"Don't speak!" Xuanyuan Wanrong's gaze fixed tightly on Xu Que's eyes as she spoke softly.
Her emotions didn't fluctuate at all, and her breathing was very steady. "Kiss me!"
"Ahhh?" Xu Que and Lin Yuxi shouted at the same time.
Xuanyuan Wanrong was very calm and her eyebrows were knitted in concentration. She reached out her slender and delicate fingers and pointed to her lips. "What don't you understand? Kiss me! I searched on my cell phone. This is the fastest way to make someone fall for you. So, don't speak and kiss me!"
"….." Xu Que glared at her and almost laughed out loud.
With this kind of emotional quotient, had Xuanyuan Wanrong never been in love in her entire life? It really looked like that.
But…those delicate little lips were really quite tempting…
Unconsciously, Xu Que's eyes became involuntarily fixated on Xuanyuan Wanrong's small lips, and his heartbeat inexplicably increased.
He knew very well that his heart couldn't be moved by Xuanyuan Wanrong.
But this was a d*mn normal physiological reaction. Such a beautiful young lady, a real goddess-like young lady, was in front of him, actively asking him to kiss her. There was no man who could resist this!
Xu Que swallowed. However, the next moment, he moved back slightly and shook his head.
"It's weird, but I actually can't bear to take advantage of you." Xu Que chuckled lightly.
This was his genuine reaction. He really didn't want to take advantage of Xuanyuan Wanrong. Although this woman was very powerful in the World of Cultivators and had a very annoying personality, in terms of intimate relationships, she was really weaker than a primary school student and as pure as a piece of blank paper.
If it had been the Xu Que of the past, he would definitely have taken this opportunity to have sex with Xuanyuan Wanrong.
However, he didn't know when it had started, but, after many years in the World of Cultivators, his state of mind seemed to have changed subtly. At least at this moment, he couldn't help but be a gentleman.
"What do you mean?" Xuanyuan Wanrong frowned. "You would rather die than have sex with me?"
"Ha, ha, ha," Xu Que said with a smile. "No, I just don't want to take advantage of you. In fact, I have another way…"
Before he'd finished speaking, Xu Que felt his body being suddenly dragged forward by two hands. At the same time, Xuanyuan Wanrong's body also came forward, and her rosy lips, just like two blooming red rose petals, kissed his mouth.
SWOOSH!
Xu Que was stunned, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
Was he being forcefully kissed?
"You talk too much nonsense." At this time, Xuanyuan Wanrong released Xu Que. Her expression was still indifferent, and there was disdain in her eyes. "So now, have you fallen for me yet?"
"….."
Xu Que didn't respond. There was still a soft fragrance lingering in his mouth. At this moment, hearing Xuanyuan Wanrong's words, he was speechless and even started doubting what the h*ll was going on.
"He was not just being forcefully kissed, but also being forced to fall for her?"
"Had Xuanyuan Wanrong been poisoned?"
Sitting next to Xu Que, Lin Yuxi was dumbfounded. Xuanyuan Wanrong's actions had made her very confused and very jealous.
"You don't like me yet?" Xuanyuan Wanrong kept staring at Xu Que and, from observing his expression, she seemed to understand that he wasn't being swayed by her. After frowning and muttering, she moved forward again and kissed Xu Que's mouth.
Sh*t!
Again, Xu Que was too late to respond, and his eyes widened even more than before. This time, Xuanyuan Wanrong had actually stuck her tongue into his mouth.
"She also knew how to french kiss?"
"Was she a love newbie or a veteran?"
She…she was a female hooligan. He refused to acknowledge her.
…..
Chapter 1537 Xu Que"s Furious!
Xu Que retreated, ending the kiss.
"Are you crazy?" He stared at Xuanyuan Wanrong.
"Eh?" Xuanyuan Wanrong was surprised. From Xu Que's expression, she could see that he didn't seem to like her.
"That didn't work?" Xuanyuan Wanrong's brows knit in concentration and confusion, and her beautiful eyes were full of anger. She clenched her small fists and said coldly, "The website has deceived me."
Xu Que rolled his eyes, speechless.
"Xu… Xu Que…" Lin Yuxi suddenly called Xu Que, her voice trembling.
Xu Que was stunned and turned quickly to look at Lin Yuxi. She was covering her forehead with one hand. Her face was pale, and she seemed to be in a lot of pain.
"What's wrong?" Xu Que asked.
"My… my head hurts a lot. It's killing me," Lin Yuxi said with much difficulty. "It seems that there are a lot of strange messages in my head. There are…there are Demons, there are fairies, there is a lot of blood. I seem to be in danger…"
WHOOSH!
Suddenly, she abruptly raised her head and looked at Xu Que, her face full of astonishment. "Xu Que?"
"Ah?" Xu Que was a little dazed. At that moment, Lin Yuxi seemed to have changed. Just a second ago, she had been panicking and having a headache. Now, she seemed very calm and her eyes were clear.
"Oh…" Suddenly, Lin Yuxi laughed bitterly, with a hint of self-deprecation, and said in a joyful voice, "I didn't think that I'd ever see you again before dying… Hey, I must be dreaming."
As she spoke, she looked at her surrounding environment and seemed to feel that something was wrong, but she didn't give it much thought and attributed it to her dreaming.
"Forget it. Even if seeing you is only a dream, I have no regrets left. The Earth Continent is collapsing, and many people are in trouble. I thought that with a piece of enlightenment, I would be qualified to be back at your side again, but there was another twist of fate, eventually I… "
CLICK! CLICK!
Before Lin Yuxi could finish speaking, her voice broke off into a noise similar to the static of an electric current. Following which, Lin Yuxi's body in the car stiffened in place and became illusory like everyone else's.
"This…" Xuanyuan Wanrong was shocked by Lin Yuxi's sudden change.
Xu Que himself was also dumbfounded. But from listening to Lin Yuxi's last few sentences, he had gotten several clues.
He was very shocked. Previously, the Lin Yuxi that he had seen was definitely from his world of memory, the Lin Yuxi from the school campus.
However, the Lin Yuxi he'd seen after she'd said that she had a headache, the Lin Yuxi now, seemed to have become the Lin Yuxi from the Earth Continent.
When Xu Que had returned to the Earth Continent, he had met Lin Yuxi again. She'd been taken from Earth by a superior, met Xu Que, and later left on her own, seeking the enlightenment left behind by her master.
Xu Que had also believed that he had let go of his feelings and grudges from back then, and he hadn't gone to find her. He'd only sent people from the Heavenly Palace Academy to protect her secretly. After returning to the Heaven Continent, he'd never seen her again.
He hadn't expected that he would meet her now like this. It seemed beyond belief. Lin Yuxi's consciousness seemed to have been transmitted directly to the Lin Yuxi in this world of memory.
And from her last words, it wasn't difficult to infer that she was facing a life-and-death crisis.
In addition, the Earth Continent had collapsed, proving that what Mo Junchen had said was correct. The Heaven Continent was a giant boat bound by shackles, and, once the shackles were unlocked, the Xuanhuang Continent and the Earth Continent would both collapse. Only by fleeing to the Heaven Continent and jumping on this giant boat would they remain alive.
"There is big trouble. Sh*t, why did this d*mn Heavenly Stone of Taiyi crap have to happen at this time…"
Xu Que felt like his head was about to explode. The Heaven Continent was in trouble, and he didn't know what the situation was with Jiang Hongyan and the others. In addition, he had now learned that Lin Yuxi was in danger on the Earth Continent. These things were all interlinked.
Most important, he was still trapped in the world of memory of the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi, and there was no way for him to leave.
"Well, there are only two of us now," Xuanyuan Wanrong said with no expression on her face.
Xu Que suddenly quivered and stared at Xuanyuan Wanrong. "You…what do you want to do?"
"Nothing. Since you have tried your best and there is no way for you to like me, let's just wait for deaths together," Xuanyuan Wanrong said indifferently.
Xu Que was relieved. He had been really afraid that Xuanyuan Wanrong would find a more drastic method. If she'd proposed that they start getting it on in the car, he didn't know if he had the moral courage to refuse.
Most men were no different from beasts, and there were times when it was difficult to make a choice. After all, not everyone could be like that famous gentleman, Taishang Buy.
TSK! TSK! TSK!
"You worry too much. Who said that we would definitely die?" Xu Que looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong.
"Are you sure?" Xuanyuan Wanrong's eyes lit up.
"I said before that I have a way out, but you didn't let me finish talking and forcefully kissed me. You d*mn hooligan!" As Xu Que spoke, he rolled his eyes at Xuanyuan Wanrong.
Xuanyuan Wanrong suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and she had an unprecedented urge to beat someone up. But she suppressed this impulse and said in a low voice, "This world of memory is about to collapse. If we don't pass the relationship tribulations, it is very likely that the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi will by default assume it has failed. Are you sure you can control the implications of this?"
"Yes, it will be fine." Xu Que smiled confidently.
The sound of a System prompt appeared in his mind, indicating that the prohibition was about to be lifted in advance.
The System had detected that the reason that everything had been going haywire was that the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi had been impacted by external forces, which had caused the world of memory to be affected. This might've had something to do with the Heaven Continent's shackles breaking, a momentary impact that had caused the prohibitions of the world of memory to be destroyed.
Because of this, the difficulty of lifting the prohibition was now greatly reduced, and it could be cracked directly in only a few hours.
"Soon? How soon?" Xuanyuan Wanrong was stunned and disbelieving.
PAH!
Xu Que smiled slightly and snapped his fingers. "Now!"
BOOM!
The next moment, a loud noise suddenly sounded all around, and the surroundings outside the car suddenly fell away swiftly like a painting that had hung high on the wall.
Following which, the car that the two of them had been sitting in also began to disintegrate and break down into small particles.
Immediately, the environment outside the two people disappeared, and their surroundings became a boundless white world of light and shadows.
"This…" Xuanyuan Wanrong's face was full of shock and disbelief.
Ever since the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi's relationship tribulations had been around, no one had ever been able to control them, and no one had ever been able to escape by trickery.
But now Xu Que had actually done it, and they were actually out of that world of memory.
"How did you do it?" Xuanyuan Wanrong looked at Xu Que in surprise.
"By relying on this!" Xu Que tapped his finger on his head.
Xuanyuan Wanrong frowned. "By relying on your melon head?"
Xu Que rolled his eyes again. "This is called wisdom. By relying on my wisdom, do you understand?"
"It's hard to believe!" Xuanyuan Wanrong shook her head and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. "Since you have been able to crack the tribulations, then I don't have to worry about the next level."
"Ah?" Xu Que suddenly became surprised. "What are you talking about? The next level?"
"What are you asking? The first level involves going through your world of memory, then the next level will naturally involve going through my world of memory. Although I don't know how you restored your memory, I don't recommend that you help me restore mine. The situation could become messy."
Xuanyuan Wanrong looked at Xu Que seriously and said solemnly, "Remember, don't try to restore my memory, and don't tell me anything about me. You just need to crack it like last time and pass the relationship tribulations."
"What? Who cares about cracking these god d*mn tribulations? I mean, how can there be a next level? The priority now is to return to the Heaven Continent!" Xu Que immediately became anxious.
He'd thought that by lifting the prohibition, he could immediately return to the Heaven Continent.
Now that the Heaven Continent was in deep water and scorching fire, he was very worried about Jiang Hongyan and the others. Furthermore, Lin Yuxi was still on the Earth Continent and was in danger. As someone he'd known well and had a past narrative with, he couldn't justify not saving her.
But at this critical moment, there was actually the next level of the relationship tribulations to go through?
"System!" Xu Que immediately shifted his thoughts, calling out to the System.
BOOM!
However, before he was able to access the System, a strong pulling feeling suddenly came from all directions and covered his whole body.
The bodies of Xu Que and Xuanyuan Wanrong were instantly torn into pieces and turned into two streams of light, dissipating into the vast white space.
Not long after, the vast white space flashed and turned into the scenery of green mountains, clear waters, the intoxication of a beautiful spring day, and a vast world.
There was a towering mountain with a stone ladder leading upward.
At the top of the stone ladder, there was a mountain gate. There was a stone tablet at the entrance of the mountain gate. Three large characters were written in bold on it: Heavenly Palace Academy.
Xu Que was wearing a black robe and carrying a purple, gold, and black stick. He stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at this beautiful scene, with an ugly expression on his face.
He was back, back on the Heaven Continent, and all his cultivation had been restored to its peak state.
But the problem was that he'd returned to the Heaven Continent tens of thousands of years ago. This was the world of memory of Xuanyuan Wanrong.
"Sh*t. Heavenly Stone of Taiyi, if I don't throw you into a latrine once I finally get home, then my surname is not Xu." Xu Que's heart was raging with fury.
He didn't like the feeling of being controlled, especially by a piece of rock.
DING! At this time, a clear System prompt sounded in Xu Que's mind. "Welcome the return of the Host!"
Hearing this familiar System sound, Xu Que didn't have to call out. He knew that the original acting tough System was back, not the replicated version of the System.
Because of this, he felt a little more stable.
DING! "It is detected that the host had previously temporarily disconnected from the System. The reason was that the System level was too low and unable to resist the God's strength, hence the host was isolated. The System could only use a loophole to send a replicated version of the System to help the host."
"To prevent this situation from occurring again, it is recommended that the host work hard, continue to act tough, and upgrade the level of the System as soon as possible."
The System said a bunch of things in succession.
Xu Que spread his hands helplessly. It was blaming him for its low level?
However, it wasn't that he didn't care about upgrading the System now. At this time, his first priority was to lift the prohibitions of the relationship tribulations as soon as possible and return to the Heaven Continent.
He thought long and hard about it and prepared to communicate with the System.
DING!
Suddenly, the System prompt sounded again.
"Due to the influence of the God's strength, the System and the host are temporarily disconnected. Although this is because the System level is too low, the action of the God's strength could also be regarded as a provocation to the System. The host is angry, and the System is even angrier."
HUH?
Xu Que was dumbfounded when he heard this. Was the System throwing a temper tantrum?
Sh*t, this was shocking news.
DING! "According to special System regulations, the host's current surroundings are in a virtual prohibited world. In view of the high level of strength in this world, in order to ensure the survival of the host, all goods in the System store will be provided free of charge, and the revenge mechanism and other functions will be activated for free until you leave this world."
…..
Chapter 1538 Tyranny of the Heaven Palace Academy
All…all for free?
Hearing the System's prompt, Xu Que's eyes immediately widened in disbelief.
Since when had this profiteering System been so generous? This wasn't rational.
Ever since the System had been upgraded, the prices of the items in the System store had all skyrocketed. Although Xu Que felt that most of the goods weren't really usable, there were still many powerful items that Xu Que was interested in. But every time he looked at the prices of those items, he gave up.
After all, with his strength, after activating the System's revenge mechanism that time in the Heaven Continent, it had been enough to crush countless people and even face the strongmen of the Celestial Cloud Continent without resistance.
Thus, at that time, Xu Que didn't need to spend all his efforts and empty all his finances to exchange for any goods in the System.
But this time, the Heaven Continent where he was located was the Heaven Continent that had peaked tens of thousands of years ago. It belonged to the era of Xuanyuan Wanrong and supposedly contained Celestial Emperors. Hence, he definitely would need to rely on the revenge mechanism and other great items from the System to get through this.
For some reason, the System had now changed from its previous stinginess and became extremely generous, providing the goods in the System store for free, in addition to the revenge mechanism and other functions. After Xu Que got over his shock, he became ecstatic.
"Ha, ha, ha, System, I'm starting to begin to appreciate you." Xu Que nodded appreciatively. If the System could have been materialized into a body, Xu Que would definitely have patted its shoulder and its head.
Xu Que called out the System, entered the System store interface, and started browsing.
When the System had been upgraded to version 11.0, it had entered a so-called second stage. In other words, version 11.0 of the System had undergone a thorough change and technically shouldn't have really been called version 11.0. It would've been more appropriate to have described it as second stage System, level 1.
The items in the System store had also undergone major changes. Many of the Magic Arts that had previously made Xu Que envious were now swept to the bottom of the inventory, and the upper positions had been taken by a variety of top-level celestial powers and even many divine magic arts.
PFFT!
"Big Dipper 36 Changes, Evil Star 72 Changes…" Xu Que had just glanced at the column called Divine Magic Arts. As he saw the names of the first two divine magic arts, he couldn't help but start laughing with glee.
These were really powerful divine arts. It was really great that these were all free now.
D*mn, he was so happy!
Xu Que's face was filled with joy, and he continued to look further down the list of items that were available. There were even more divine magic arts, and his heart couldn't help but jump with joy.
The thing that moved him the most was undoubtedly the ten divine magic arts that altogether were known as the "Ten Great Divine Magic Arts". Examples of these were "The Heavenly Eye Which Sees Clearly with No Obstacles Art", shortened to "Heavenly Eye Art", and also the "Knowing His Mind Well Art", shortened to "Knowing Mind Art"…
These famous Ten Great Divine Magic Arts, once cultivated, were first-rate attributes of the Celestial Stage, and the cultivator who used them would be known the Master of the Ten Arts. He wouldn't just achieve the attainment of the Celestial Emperor Realm, but the Taoist Prime and Taoist Emperor Realms would be waiting just around the corner.
In the past, he'd wanted to purchase these Ten Great Divine Magic Arts, but was helpless as the amount of Acting Tough Points required to purchase them was astronomical. When he saw their value, Xu Que had immediately forgotten about them, but this time he could use them for free.
Even after he'd left this world and all of this would disappear, being able to have experienced it would turn out to have been very beneficial.
"It's amazing! If I learned all of them, even a Celestial Emperor would be no match for me!" Xu Que was suddenly very excited, glancing at the column of celestial powers in the System store. He couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Whether it was the divine magic arts or the other kinds of celestial powers, they were all extremely powerful. If he used any of them, it would be enough to break the heads of many cultivators. Now, he could use them all.
With these items, perhaps it would be a lot easier to survive in this world. He would be able to earn enough Acting Tough Points faster, crack the prohibition, and return to the Heaven Continent.
"With the System in hand, the world is mine!" Xu Que couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and let out a loud roar.
BOOM!
Suddenly, a powerful force echoed down from the stone steps.
"Who is this presumptuous fool, who is making such a ruckus outside the Heaven Palace Academy?" A strong, scolding voice could be heard.
Xu Que felt shocked. His chest felt pressured, his face became pale, and his heart was stunned.
That was the essence of a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, but the strength of this Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven was far more powerful than all the Golden Celestials of the Great All-Embracing Heaven that he had ever met in the Heaven Continent.
With just this little bit of a display of strength, he'd actually felt so stressed.
Sure enough, those cultivators from tens of thousands of years ago were all evildoers…
Xu Que couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was also a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, and killing another Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven in the Heaven Continent was as easy as killing a chicken. He could even kill Celestial Kings that he had encountered. Who knew that tens of thousands of years ago, he would be so stressed by meeting a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven.
"Who are you, report your name!" At this time, the other party seemed to have discovered Xu Que's strength. His tone was no longer aggressive as he asked in a deep voice.
Xu Que's gaze changed and a polite and humble smile appeared on his face. He saluted and said lightly, "I am Xu Que from the Exploding Heavens Faction. I have heard about the reputation of the Heaven Palace Academy for a long time, and the admiration in my heart is like a surging river, flowing endlessly. It is like the flooding of the Yellow River, unstoppable. So I have deliberately come to pay a visit."
Xu Que deliberately made himself seem inferior, trying to act like a pig to prey on a tiger.
Although he had a whole System store that he could try for free, he hadn't had enough time to practice and control anything yet. If he rashly fought with the Heaven Palace Academy, it would alert Celestial Primes and Celestial Emperors, and he could suffer a huge loss.
What was more was that he hadn't met Xuanyuan Wanrong yet, and it wouldn't be good if he fought now with the Heaven Palace Academy.
After all, he was already here. It would be a pity not to take a look at what Xuanyuan Wanrong had been like tens of thousands of years ago.
HMPH!
The other party snorted. "What Exploding Heavens Faction? I've never heard of it. You're just a trivial Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, how could you have received the qualifications to visit the Heaven Palace Academy? If you're not here to join our recruitment drive, please leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me if I don't go easy on you."
Sh*t!
Xu Que was momentarily stunned. The Heaven Palace Academy was so overbearing?
Sh*t, he'd come to visit them so politely, and they'd responded in such an aggressive manner. This was a form of bullying, how preposterous!
"Okay, I'll leave!" Xu Que saluted and turned to walk away. He was scared.
It wasn't that the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven was too strong, but that some other beings had appeared on the stone ladder. He couldn't afford to provoke Elders of the Celestial Prime Realm.
"What's going on here?" A gentle and elegant voice said forcefully but not angrily.
Although Xu Que was already walking down the mountain, he could still clearly hear their conversation.
The Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven respectfully responded, "Elder Liu, there was a small cultivator who was boasting shamelessly and wanted to visit the Heaven Palace Academy, so I reprimanded him."
"Did you hurt anyone?" An elegant voice asked.
The Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven hurriedly responded, "I didn't dare!"
"Not bad, you handled it very well. In the future, if you encounter such a scenario again, you can just scold them. If you take physical action, the people outside will say that the Heaven Palace Academy is too unreasonable and is a bully. All right, continue to guard the mountain gate. Our academy is recruiting new people today, there mustn't be any trouble." The elegant voice gradually drifted away.
The Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven also respectfully sent off the other party with these words, "The disciple will follow the Elder's instructions!"
"….." As Xu Que heard this, his footsteps stopped, and a strange expression crept onto his face.
How annoying!
Just scold, and any physical action would be considered unreasonable bullying?
Sh*t, was the Heaven Palace Academy so domineering back then? It was even more arrogant than his Exploding Heavens Faction.
Xu Que was very annoyed, but the reason wasn't that the other party had been so overbearing, but that the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven had actually been just a gatekeeper.
D*mn, by comparison, he wasn't even as good as a gatekeeper?
No, this was absolutely unbearable.
The Heaven Palace Academy was recruiting new people, right? Today, he would make trouble in the Heaven Palace Academy.
"System, quick, give me celestial powers, give me Divine Magic Arts, and also give me tens of High-Grade Celestial Artifacts. I'm going to act tough now!"
…..
