Chapter 179: Stun the Audience! Can You Be My Grandfather?

After giving Lu Ping a flurry of instructions, the children finally left with heavy hearts.
Once they were gone, only Li Junsheng and Lu Ping were left in the hospital room, staring at each other in awkward silence.
After Sun Buqi poured out everything he knew in one breath, Zheng Shuguang fell into deep contemplation.
"Deputy Director Qin, you're here." Before Qin Fen even reached the room, he heard someone calling out across the hallway.
No one present dared to delay for even a moment, immediately clearing a path. Lu Liting rushed Lu Zikai to the hospital, only for the examination to reveal it was merely a simple allergic reaction... As a result, Qiao Mimi resumed her torture of his face.
However, seeing the look of apparent admiration on Li Erlong's face, he began to doubt that assessment; after all, if it weren't a compliment, why would Li Erlong look at him that way?
Therefore, he was currently advancing toward that goal step by step, rather than attempting to reach the heavens in a single bound.
"Qiangu, are you alright?" Seeing Hua Qiangu emerge, Ni Mantian rushed up to her. Having forged a deep friendship during the first trial, she was naturally deeply concerned for Hua Qiangu's safety.
Setting aside the question of who would win in a real fight, this unstable situation alone would severely impact humanity's perception of surface safety.
The true form of the black lotus revealed itself bit by bit, and the appearance of the Abyss of Darkness took on a completely new look. The darkness grew even more dense, with wisps of black mist emanating from the black lotus, imparting an eerie and mysterious sensation.
"Alright, you didn't do it on purpose." Lu Xibai rubbed her stomach and continued walking forward.
Ji Yang did not dare to say any more, and promptly turned with Huang Kun to leave the underground secret chamber. The moment Ji Yang turned around, however, a flash of imperceptible, eerie light swept through the depths of his pupils.
"Whatever the Grand General commands, this humble servant will gladly carry out." The dancer lowered her head deeply, her face flushed red, not daring to lift her gaze to look at Chen Cheng even for a second.
Yang Chuchu's hands clenched tightly into fists, the corners of her lips curved upward in a cold sneer, and her eyes overflowed with madness.
Outside the Palace of Eternal Harmony, Ningqiu was waiting in the courtyard to be summoned by Noble Consort De. Though separated by a set of heavy doors, the muffled sounds still carried through clearly.
In the past, no matter how much she acted up or deliberately ordered him around, even if he grew impatient, he would still do it. But now, he offered endless excuses and dodged at every turn.
The peak stood a hundred zhang high, its upper half forming a gorge composed of two rock pillars, while its lower half consisted of a tower-shaped cliff. As far as the eye could see, fierce black winds could be faintly discerned howling across the azure sky.
Hongling, standing nearby, also wore a somewhat bewildered expression, but she was naturally easy-going and hospitable, welcoming the group to their seats as if they were old friends. Fortunately, the representatives from the various super-forces were not very numerous here, and the area belonging to the Thunder Palace had plenty of vacant spots. With the addition of Cuiling and the other four, it did not appear crowded at all.
The only thing she was grateful for now was that she had retained a shred of sanity back then and had not allowed Su Chen to make their relationship public. Otherwise, she would have become a laughingstock once again. If she were to stumble this time, she had no idea whether she would still have the courage to pick herself up.
"Your sister is getting married soon, so you should spend more time growing close to each other. Sisters helping and supporting one another in the future—that is what a true family looks like." Seeing Lu Yunshui taking the initiative to draw close to Lu Qianru, the old matriarch was utterly delighted.
Without thinking much further, he casually flicked his wrist, sending forth a beam of brilliant radiance even more dazzling than his own "Swift Wind Shadowless." After all, "Swift Wind Shadowless" was transparent, and the light refracting off it was far stronger than its reflection, making it naturally less glaring.
In the end, he decided to adopt Li Ming's suggestion. Although these subordinates were not of critical importance to him, they had still been personally trained by him, so saving as many as possible was the prudent choice. On missions of this nature, the more people involved, the easier it was for things to go wrong.
