Chapter 236: Breakthrough!
“Hmm, it’s good that you brought the items back.” Diwu Qingrou reached out to take them and smiled, “With these two items, we can save the lives of two experts in critical moments. Crane doesn’t need to worry too much.”
As she said this, she shook the jade box and suddenly exclaimed, her eyes locking onto Cheng Yunhe, her brows slightly furrowed, “Crane, this… no one touched it, right?”
Cheng Yunhe panicked in that instant, his face turning pale as he said, “Lord Xiang, is there a problem?”
“Spirit Jade Ginseng is a celestial spirit item; even through the jade box, one can feel the abundant spiritual energy. But why is there no sensation this time?” Diwu Qingrou said with confusion.
At her words, Jing Menghun and the others also sensed something was off.
“Absolutely no one has touched it! This item has been in my possession the whole time!” Cheng Yunhe declared firmly.
“Hmm.” Diwu Qingrou weighed the jade box in her hand, slightly lowered her head in thought, then lifted her head and smiled, “It’s nothing. It’s good that the items are back. Crane, you’ve worked hard on this journey; go rest early.”
Saying this, she tucked the jade box into her clothes without even looking at it, smiling, “I’ll keep this item close to me.”
Then she added, “Everyone should head back. Not Chu, you need to be busy these days; Gao Sheng, you should keep a low profile during this period; make sure not to attract the Arbitrator’s attention; and, both of you on the thrones should rest early; if the Shadow Throne needs any medicine for its wounds, feel free to come to me.”
Everyone bowed in response and retreated.
Once the study was empty except for Diwu Qingrou, she slowly stood up, furrowing her brow in deep thought as she paced back and forth, murmuring, “This matter shouldn’t be…”
She took out the jade box and gently opened it. Indeed, there was nothing inside; it was completely empty.
Looking at the empty jade box, Diwu Qingrou pondered for a long time, her gaze flickering slightly.
Iron Cloud City!
In the midst of this cold weather, the Butian Pavilion fell back into a hot and bustling activity! But this time, the people of Butian Pavilion had no complaints; instead, they were very proud and enjoying themselves!
Chu King of Hell, after all, is Chu King of Hell!
He did not fall!
Since Chu King of Hell did not fall, Butian Pavilion still remains Butian Pavilion! Those who spread rumors not long ago that Chu King of Hell was done for… hmph, they are now being dealt with by us!
Chu King of Hell is not just okay; he is thriving!
With the courage to empty half the court, this kind of boldness, this kind of decisiveness… who would dare? But Chu King of Hell didn’t even frown, he took action directly!
In contrast to the bustling Butian Pavilion, Heavenly Weapon Pavilion was a hubbub of noise.
After returning, the group had some disagreements regarding Lian Fanlei. Ji Mo believed that for a guy like that, they should beat him hard! So hard that even his mother wouldn’t recognize him… Rocky Luo thought they should just eliminate him outright…
Gu Duxing scoffed at their thoughts. Boss Chu believed that using power to suppress these people was the most satisfying…
Although quite some time had passed since the incident, the people in Heavenly Weapon Pavilion were still bickering. Eventually, Ji Mo and Rocky Luo, who initially had similar opinions, began to argue fiercely, with Rocky Luo switching sides to Chu Yang’s camp and turning against his former ally.
He criticized Ji Mo for being short-sighted, immature, hot-tempered, lacking refinement, and completely unstable—a real disgrace…
Ji Mo was furious, immediately adopting a third brother's demeanor, roaring in anger. As they argued, the two ended up wrestling with each other, loud thudding sounds echoing, and before Chu Yang could step in to mediate, both had turned into swollen faces…
With a bitter smile, Chu Imperial Seat murmured, “This young man has a lot of fire… he needs to vent…” and turned to leave.
