"How can this be, didn't you die?" The hundred thugs watched as Lisa slowly made her way out from the whirlpool with surprise and shock clear in their voices. Their faces had changed, no longer looking smug and arrogant. As expected, they couldn't underestimate her!
No wonder they were warned over and over before they had come here!
The hundred thugs looked at Lisa before looking at each other, they couldn't deny the fact that she was amazing. However, the Sky Destruction Formation was also not to be taken lightly.
Their powers surged up from within their bodies, and formed a line, attacking Lisa as one. Their power increased even more as they joined their attack, and even those masters who were beyond the Enlightenment realm would be turned into minced meat by their move.
But, was Lisa a vegetarian? Since she had said it was a Massacre Array, then it would definitely do what it was named for!
"Watch out, Miss Lalisa!" The priest and priestess couldn't help shouting out a warning to her.
Compared to them, the Peacekeepers were still resisting the Sky Destruction Formation with their own defensive array calmly. Lisa was facing off against hundreds of opponents, and they needed to take care of her back naturally. It wasn't that they had complete faith in her, they only felt that she was an omnipotent being after all.
Looking back at all she had done, she had created Nine Heavens by herself, created a maelstrom in the Imperial Capital, changed the entire medical world, and created the Peace Squad, which caused the geniuses in the ancient martial arts world to falter! The mythical beasts reapers! Going all the way to the 80th floor in the Trial Tower in one go!
If a normal person were to do any one of these things, it was already shocking enough. What's more, these were all done by a single person?
Therefore, in the eyes of the Peacekeepers, she was the only faith they had, the one and only omnipotent being!
"Activate!" The purple and gold dragon on Lisa entangled with each other, a powerful energy spreading outwards, rushing towards those hundred thugs who were coming towards her.
Boom!
When the two forces collided, Lisa's figure didn't move at all, but the hundred thugs were forced back a few steps. How was that possible?
They could feel the shock reverberating in their bones. Lisa was just a little doll at Houtian level, how could the collision from the force be so strong?!
Also, how the heck had their Scarlet Soul Banner be swallowed by a guitar?
Oh my god! That was the Scarlet Soul Banner okay, the biggest, most bada*s skill they had up their sleeves, and it was devoured just like that? And by a guitar, no less?!
Was this an anime?
However...
They soon discovered that their shock had come way too early!
The power of thunder and lightning spread around her body, forming a huge thunder void!
F*ck, it was a thunder void?!
Where did she get such a terrible thing!
Their face paled, all blood draining from it. Because the horror dawned on them as they realized that this thunder void was something she had created by herself!
Where had this monster come from? Just where the h*ll did this monster come from?
Was she even human?!
The hundred thugs were already going crazy, trying to figure all these out, and Lisa was the cause of this!
Obviously since there were at least a hundred of them, they should have been the ones to be beating her up, how did it turn around the other way just in an instant?
The Peacekeepers who were on ground resisting the Sky Destruction Formation also had strange expressions on their faces, has anyone seen such a battle scene before? Before the fight had started, the opponent had been delivered crippling mental blows to the point their spirit had wilted. Even the priest was looking at the scene with comically wide eyes, especially when he saw the golden light that was circling around Lisa, his eyes widened further, almost falling out of the sockets. "The Rebirth Mantra?!"
Thinking of the mantra that he had recited before this, the priest couldn't help the shocked gasp that escaped his mouth. "She had already been prepared so much earlier?!" Could it be possible, this was all within her calculations?
He took a deep breath to calm himself, this... this was just too incredible, right?
The hundred thugs gritted their teeth, their bodies trembling, unknown whether from fear or rage, and scattered across the skies once again. They condensed their chi into daggers in their hands. Instead of fighting against Lisa, they would go after Kihyun and the others, stabbing them in their heads with this!
It was one against one, and under the disparity in their strength, the Peacekeepers had no way of escaping!
Their death was inevitable, and the hundred thugs were elated when they thought about it. Go to h*ll!
Suddenly, a plain, slender figure appeared in front of each and every one of them. It was like she had teleported in an instant, appearing in front of all hundred of them at one go. Before they could react, all they saw was a fist coming to their faces.
Hundreds of Lisa's silhouettes all raised their fist at the same time, and the explosive power from this move was unstoppable.
Boom!
Boom!
All hundred thugs fell from the skies, onto the ground!
A hundred phantoms were also a huge burden on Liss, and she couldn't separate the power of her lightning in case she killed these hundred thugs. So she waited to pull in the phantoms, separating both abilities. But the profound energy in her body suddenly surged up, and it felt like all her meridians were on fire. There was so much pressure, she was going to advance again!
Ignoring everything else, she sat down cross-legged in the virtual space. Breaking through from Houtian to Enlightenment, it would require a long time to condense her chi and get it back under control. During this time, Lisa couldn't move her body nor use her powers freely.
"Protect Miss Lalisa!" Kihyun had split everyone into two teams, one for controlling the Sky Destruction Formation, and the other to surround Lisa.
Xixi and Jiji didn't expect things to take a turn like this, and Xixi immediately enlarged itself, covering Lisa under its massive wings. A faint blue glow covered its feathers, and Xixi turned its beady eyes towards the hundred thugs that had been smacked down by Lisa.
The thugs had thought that their lives were over, but Lisa had entered into her advancement at this time. She broke through? She actually did it at such an important time! The thugs couldn't help but laugh, wasn't this just the best time to kill her?! She was already insanely strong at only Houtian level, they couldn't allow her to continue growing!
All hundred thugs broke past their own body limits, bringing out their strongest weapons in order to kill Lisa. The energy that surged from within them was stronger than before, by who knows how many more times!
In the beginning, they had been more reserved because they still valued their lives. However, knowing that they had gotten another chance at surviving again, they were now putting all their efforts into killing Lisa. It was either they won and returned, or they lost to her and died here.
It was the peak of the battle now, so long as Lisa didn't die and she managed to make it through her advancement, they wouldn't be able to run anymore. If she didn't die, then their souls would be the ones to scatter across the skies.
One hundred thugs at the Enlightenment level, the hundred Peacekeepers stood a chance against them! But they were occupied with holding back the Sky Destruction Formation! They were also distracted with protecting Lisa, and they also needed to hold back the thugs' attacks!
What a blood-soaked and hard-fought struggle this was going to be!
A large sword made out of pure chi of the hundred thugs suddenly came down in front of Xixi, the space in front of it shattering a little!
"Xixi!" Kihyun turned around, shouting in horror.
"B*stards!" Jimin wiped the blood off his face, his eyes red from the blood that fell into it.
"Don't think about it!" Xixi's body keeps growing bigger. The bigger its body became, the stronger the energy it exuded. Blue flames poured out from its beak continuously.
"Xixi, stop!" Jiji's face had changed. "You'll die if you go on like this!" If Xixi couldn't bear the energy that kept pouring out of it, its body would eventually break down and Xixi would wither away to ashes. Jiji was crystal clear on how the phoenix's techniques were like.
It also naturally knew that Xixi was putting its life on the line here!
Xixi ignored the robot, its own body continuing to expand and grow. It knew what the consequences were going to be like, but it wasn't afraid at all. The last time Lisa had gone into the caves by herself, Xixi had not stopped blaming itself over and over since that time. This time, how could Xixi back down? "Master Jeon is not here, I must protect Beauty Lisa!"
Xixi's life was something that had been picked up by Lisa, if it wasn't or her, Xixi would still be trapped within the malicious aura, and it would probably be a mindless puppet at this time.
It didn't want to linger too long on thoughts of what may have happened if Lisa hadn't appeared.
But Beauty Lisa, Haha, Jiji, Master Jeon, Wu Jimin, Xiao Rosé, Hua Hyunsuk...
The faces of each and every one of them were vividly clear in its mind, how could it just watch Lisa die in front of itself?
"Are you afraid of death?" Kihyun suddenly turned to Jimin.
Jimin knew what he was going to say, and didn't bother replying to him. He took a step forward, in front of Xixi, the chi in his body surging up, spinning wildly!
He was using his actions to express his thoughts!
Who isn't afraid of death? However, when this moment came, they suddenly felt that death wasn't as scary as they thought it would be.
Kihyun smiled, standing beside Jimin, a vortex forming on top of his head!
Every single Peacekeeper did the same as the two, standing in front of Xixi, their energies surging upwards as they used their bodies as a meat shield for Lisa, all to buy time for her!
"I was just some small-time gangster in the beginning, and even my family wouldn't acknowledge me anymore. If I hadn't been picked to join the Peace Squad, I would probably still be wandering around somewhere. To be able to join the Peace Squad and create such miracles, my life in the past few months has been the best of my life. I don't have any regrets even if I die here."
"If it wasn't for Miss Lalisa, I would have been beaten to death a long time ago. This time, I finally have somewhere I belong."
The hearts of these people were like iron, and even though they were up against such a huge offensive power, nothing would shake their resolve!
Eunwoo and Mo Li were protecting Nichkun, but Eunwoo couldn't just ignore what was happening in front of him, and he brushed aside Mo Li's attempts at stopping him, rushing to the front of Lisa.
The hundred thugs sneered at their actions. The energy swords contained a massive amount of murderous aura that could destroy the sky and earth, and it was slowly but surely chipping away at the space.
The first meat shield was a Peacekeeper, and the smile on his face didn't fade all the way till the end.
The other fifty Peacekeepers that were holding back the Sky Destruction Formation could only watch with tears streaming down their eyes, glaring at the hundred thugs, imprinting their faces into their bones!
Boom!
Thunder surged above their heads, and Lisa was still under the safety of Xixi's wings. She was breaking through, but she had also left a small part of her mind outside, and everything was within her sight! Peace Squad! Peace Squad!
Her lips were bleeding from where she had bitten down on it, the drops of blood dripping onto the surface of the lake, fading away into the deep waters.
"Beauty Lisa!" As Lisa's system, Jiji already knew what she was planning to do, and couldn't help the horrified shout that escaped its mechanical mouth!
During the breakthrough period, if you didn't control the chi circulation in your body, you would end up being a useless person. That was also the reason why Kihyun, Xixi, and everyone else were determined to protect Lusa. However, Jiji discovered in horror that Lisa had woken up.
But she wasn't done with her advancement!
Boom!
Lightning struck down from the skies.
Lisa came out from beneath Xixi's wings, grabbing the lightning with one hand, her chi surging out uncontrollably. "Space, shatter."
The power surrounding her body was strong, but everyone could feel the aura in her body getting weaker by the moment, like a candle that was about to go out. As long as someone blew at it softly, it would be snuffed out!
Everything seemed to happen in slow motion, the space around the hundred thugs cracking, breaking little by little.
Kihyun and the others could only bite their lips as they watched the scene that unfolded in front of them. They would forever remember it, because Lisa would risk becoming useless for them, coming out halfway through her advancement in order to fight for them.
Strong! They needed to be stronger!
The same thoughts ran through all the Peacekeeper's minds at the same time.
During this time, above the Sky Destruction Formation, a white light shot out, coming straight towards Lisa!
No one expected this sudden move, and it seemed like it had been planned. They had been waiting for this moment to kill off Lisa.
Everyone was stunned, staring at the white light with shock on their faces as it broke through the Sky Destruction Formation, heading straight towards Lisa.
The hundred thugs were also shouting in glee. "Big Boss, Big Boss has finally made his move!"
It was a pincer attack, Lisa had no place to run!
And it looked like it was the end, everything had been calculated. Lisa would fall to this, and there wouldn't even be ashes left of her!
However...
The surrounding air suddenly became colder, snowflakes falling from the skies suddenly.
The white light that was rushing towards Lisa was intercepted by a gigantic snowflake!
And the long sword made of energy by the hundred thugs were suddenly covered by snowflakes, and crushed to pieces!
The air beside Lisa shifted, a gap splitting open soon after. A pair of strong, fair hands tore the gap apart, a lean figure stepping out of it.
Time seemed to have stopped for a moment.
The man was dressed in a crisp, white shirt which was buttoned all the way to the top. His head was lowered slightly, and no one could see his face clearly, only the cold outline of his silhouette.
His right hand reached out to hold the person next to him, his white hands wiping the blood from her lips before reaching out for the bolt of thunder in her hand, scattering it with a touch. Even the terrifying source of aura had disappeared, but the pressure in the air felt so much heavier and terrifying than before.
"Leave the rest to me." He looked at her, his eyes flashing.
Lisa's face was already as pale as paper, all the blood had drained and the chi in her body was still fluctuating wildly. When she caught sight of him, her body relaxed, and her vision darkened, falling right into his arms.
The entire area was quiet, all eyes on the figure that had suddenly made an appearance. The man finally raised his head, revealing graceful features that were as elegant as a painting. He should be someone that had a brilliant temperament, but at this moment, there was only one word everyone here could use to describe him-terrifying.
Those pitch-black eyes looked towards the people that were opposite him, his face expressionless, and you could even say he was completely devoid of any emotions or desires at this moment in time. But it made the hundred thugs tremble in fear as they saw where his gaze was directed at.
The energy that had been swirling up in around Eunwoo was calmed immediately, and his eyes landed on the girl in Jungkook's arms, emotions flashing in his eyes as he finally smiled wickedly. "You really came right on the dot, huh?"
Then his figure blurred and disappeared, leaving the area. He knew that any big problems weren't even problems anymore, now that Jungkook was back.
"Jeon Jungkook, he's finally back." Kihyun and everyone else finally managed to react after receiving a shock from his appearance.
Mo Li, who was guarding Nichkun stared blankly at him. "He... how did he suddenly appear there?"
Jungkook, the man who had been by Lisa's side from the beginning. He was only at the 70th level of the Trial Tower, even Kihyun and the other had been second-guessing his strength. However in this moment, they realized something... you couldn't gauge the limits of this person's strength at all.
Their hearts were heavy, extremely heavy as they recalled the scene that had just happened in front of them. The bloodied struggle would follow them for the remainder of their life. In conclusion, they were just weak, too weak!
If the people in the ancient martial arts world came to know what the Peacekeepers were thinking, they would probably feel like dying, right?
Jungkook's face was hard, a hint of cold steel in his eyes as he looked to the group of people, raising his hands. "All of you should just go to h*ll."
The faces of the hundred thugs were instantly filled with panic.
The surge of power that broke out from Jungkook was monumental, the hundred thugs immediately turning into ice sculptures!
And in the next moment!
The ice shattered into thousands of pieces, falling to the ground. He didn't give them any chance to defend themselves, crushing them mercilessly.
However, the pressure on the field was still extremely heavy. Jungkook looked up at the white light above their heads, the one that had wanted to kill Lisa, and his eyes narrowed, the dark pools resembling an endless abyss.
The Seven-Frosted Blade glowed brightly as it split the sky violently, stuffing the white light into the crack that he had torn open not long ago!
Deep beneath the earth, a figure spat out a mouthful of blood.
Everything was calm.
The entire area had descended into complete silence!
Whether it was the Peacekeepers, or the two masters, everyone watched in a daze as Jungkook left the area after that!
At the same time, the entire China felt the land shaking violently, and countless people stayed awake from fear the entire night!
The next day, Lisa opened her eyes, finding that she was laying in a bed, and was met with a familiar face and temperament. He was still the same as the image engraved in her mind as he sat beside the bed, but he wasn't reading books like he usually did. He was looking at her instead, his coal, black eyes that seemingly endless was looking at her unwaveringly.
"Brother Jungkook." Lisa sat up, a smile on her face, realizing that the fluctuation chi within her body had also calmed down, and she felt much better.
"Hm." Jungkook looked at her, answering in a soft voice. He looked at her for a long time, not saying a word, before he finally reached out to pull her into his arms.
Feeling the warmth of the person in his arms, and seeing the healthy flush on her face, his arms tightened around her as he recalled the paleness of her face when he had held her in his arms yesterday night. His voice held a hint of a quiver as he spoke, "You almost scared me to death, Baby Lisa."
Lisa felt that Jungkook was acting slightly strange, reaching both arms around his waist to return the embrace, saying in a reassuring voice, "It's alright now, Brother Jungkook. Fortunately, you came back."
Everything had been under her control, the only unexpected thing that happened was her advancement at such a crucial moment!
But she had been calmed, her chi contained enough vitality that she knew she wouldn't die, but it was Jimin and the others that she feared would die, hence why she had rushed out so desperately.
"Miss Lalisa, the elders are waiting for Big Boss." Hoseok informed her through the door as he knocked on it.
Jungkook narrowed his eyes, his brows furrowing tightly. He looked frustrated, and very impatient.
"Miss Lalisa." Hoseok was insistent.
Lisa glanced at Jungkook. "Go on, Brother Jungkook. I'm fine now."
Jungkook pursed his lips, holding onto Lisa even tighter as he said, "No, I don't want to. I don't know who that is."
"And that's how things are." Hoseok sat by the table, telling Lisa everything. After he was done, he looked towards Jungkook, who was sitting next to her, as cold as usual. He didn't look any different than before.
But this person didn't remember anything, except for Lisa. Ever since he brought her back, he had yet to leave her side at all, not a single step.
Hoseok let out a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, Big Boss still remembers you."
"Does everyone know about this?" Lisa asked seriously.
"Only I and Donghyuk are aware." Hoseok shook his head. Now were troubling times. If everyone else were to find out that Jungkook had lost his memories, everything would become even more troublesome. "But the Elders Association requires Big Boss to make an appearance now."
So once he found out that Lisa had woken up, he rushed over here immediately.
"Go out and wait a bit," Lisa said, glancing at Hoseok. Her expression had changed only in the beginning when she first found out, but after that she was being extremely calm.
Lisa's attitude made Hoseok feel assured, and his heart finally felt like something heavy had been lifted off it, as though he had found his support pillar once again.
"Brother Jungkook, you really don't remember anything?" Lisa asked, turning to Jungkook once Hoseok had stepped out.
Jungkook pursed his lips. "I remember you."
The moment he woke up, he found that he couldn't remember anything. Everyone around him were strangers, and he was in a panic. He followed the familiar aura that was Lisa and found her, and while everyone around him were still strangers, she was the only familiar face.
In fact, he had been afraid of letting Lisa know about this, because Hoseok's reaction was huge when he first found out.
But when Lisa found out, she wasn't surprised, and there weren't any other reactions on her face either. She just looked at him the same way she was looking at him now, which made him feel at ease.
"Yeah." Lisa continued to look at Jungkook, her fingers touching his pulse. His hand was chillingly cold, and it felt like ice when she touched him. There was nothing wrong with his pulse. "Then, do you remember how you met me?"
"I only remember you." Jungkook lowered his head, his voice slightly lost. He only remembered her, remembering that this person was the only one in his mind that he couldn't forget. As for all the other details, he didn't know anything.
"It's okay," Lisa reassured him, holding his hands. Her eyes were slightly misty as she looked at him, it was good enough that he remembered her. "That person just now is Yi Hoseok, Brother Jungkook. He's your most trusted subordinate, and you have to follow him to meet a few others. I'll accompany you."
"No, you rest. I'll be right back." Jungkook was silent for a while, before replying.
"That's fine too. You don't have to talk when the time comes, if someone says something, you can just give them a glance." Lisa got up to see him out, and told him a little on how to treat those elders, and also explained some of the relationships and people that he knew.
Fortunately, he was known for being cold, and it wasn't like he talked much to begin with. This bout of memory loss wouldn't be too hard for him.
Jungkook nodded obediently. He didn't know anything, and he hadn't planned on meeting those people, but now he listened to everything that Lisa was telling him.
His had strong mental power, and it was easy for him to quickly remember all the people that Lisa was telling him about.
When Lisa disappeared from his sight, Jungkook's aura changed, dropping cold to the point that it felt stinging to the people around him.
"Big Boss," Hoseok looked at Jungkook, seeing that he had gone the wrong way, his mouth twitched. "It's this way."
Jungkook paused in his steps, then turned around.
"Young Master Jeon." Everyone in the ancient martial arts world was gathered in the hall, including the elders, patriarchs, heirs and also the administrator of the secular world-Feng Jiu.
Jungkook sat in the only vacant seat, his head lowered and not speaking a word.
The great elder first first reported the happenings of the ancient martial arts world, before his gaze turned to Jungkook. "As for the United States..."
"Hm." Jungkook spared a glance at the great elder, his voice low and cold.
The great elder was taken aback, Young Master Jeon seemed even more frightening than before.
From the start to end, Jungkook only said a few words, and most of them were either 'Hm' or 'I see'.
However, just these few words were enough to make these bunch of elders from the ancient martial arts world quake in their boots. They didn't dare to say anything more unnecessary, cold sweat breaking out profusely.
Hoseok, who was standing at the side, couldn't help the twitching of his mouth. Miss Lalisa was awesome indeed, teaching Big Boss the way to deal with these people in such a short amount of time. He could use this method to deal with basically anything, and no one would probably notice anything different.
Feng Jiu who had been sitting at the side, seeing that the great elder had yet to raise any mention about him, finally couldn't take it anymore. "Young Master Jeon, I'll get straight to the point. I'm here today mainly because of Miss Lalisa, she's really doing things so irresponsibly without looking at the overall situation..."
When Feng Jiu started speaking, the second elder was trying his best to signal him to stop with his eyes. Of all the people you had to talk about, it had to be Miss Lalisa?
'You want to die, don't you? Right? You really want to die, right?!
'Don't you know both Jungkook and Lalisa, both of them are terrifying in their own right!'
Sadly, Feng Jiu didn't see the second elder's gaze, and the old man gave up, his eyes twitching.
"And?" Jungkook didn't bother waiting for Feng Jiu to finish talking, raising his head to look at him. His onyx, black eyes were deep like the abyss, and with just a look from these eyes, it made people feel like they couldn't breath. Feng Jiu obviously took the brunt of this look, he had yet to be done speaking, and Jungkook's reaction was already so big.
"Young Master Jeon, I can't deny that Miss Lalisa is powerful, but these bunch of people nearly destroyed the entire city." Feng Jiu tried to persuade Jungkook. "I know that she broke the formation, but I also know that the formation wouldn't have existed if it weren't for her in the first place. You have your own rules in the ancient martial arts world, but we also have an agreement that no harm would come to the people in the secular world. This time, the entire Mingzhou was almost destroyed. Young Master Jeon, I hope that you can restrain Miss Lalisa and her team, their abilities are too strong, and if they continue to do things without thinking of the consequences, it simply will be disastrous for China."
Jungkook was the big boss of the Mahjong Army, who at the same time maintains the balance between the ancient martial arts world and the secular world.
Feng Jiu knew that this matter had to be discussed with Jungkook to be taken seriously.
Feng Jiu had thought that Jungkook would listen to his opinions. He had never heard of this name 'Lalisa' before, and so he didn't think that she was anyone important.
But he didn't expect Jungkook to look at him with an indifferent expression after what he had said. "Say, if I were to ask you to leave your life here today, what would you do?"
His expression remained unchanged, and Feng Jiu tried his hardest to find any hint of joke in his face, but he couldn't find any. A chill crept up his spine, and he suddenly realized that Jungkook was serious, he was being super serious right now. He really was thinking of killing him right now.
Feng Jiu was shocked, and he couldn't help but blurt out. "It's precisely because of your current attitude, that she doesn't feel any remorse at all!"
Feng Jiu couldn't understand, the entire Mingzhou had almost died this time, and it caused a lot of disputes on the internet too. This made Feng Jiu extremely angry, all of these people in the ancient martial arts world were so powerful that they didn't consider people from the secular world to be worth a life, did they?
The second elder was already banging his head against the table in front of him repeatedly. This idiot!
"I have this attitude right now, and I will always have this attitude. What else do you want to say?" Jungkook's fingers tapped on the table, making tapping sounds that probably signified that he was getting impatient.
Jungkook didn't remember anything, but there was an indescribable sorrow that grew in his heart suddenly.
It felt like he had been in such a position a long time ago-standing all by his lonesome on the opposite side of the entire world.
Lisa, as well as the people at her side, had paid so much effort for the sake of saving the entire Mingzhou, saving countless lives in secret. No one cared about what they had gone through, instead, they were being accused and questioned by these people.
Jungkook was feeling extremely angry.
Eunwoo, who was sitting at the side, placed down the cup in his hands. His eyes were lowered, the corners of his mouth twitching. The guy had been put in his place and had his mouth shut up, just like that.
Feng Jiu looked at Jungkook, a furious expression on his face! Of course he still had things he wanted to say! He was too used to this, wasn't he? You should restrain her a little? But would you listen? But no matter how angry he got, he couldn't do anything to Jungkook!
What could he do? Why was there a person like Jungkook in this world?
"Young Master Jeon, don't get angry, we'll handle this matter." The great elder finally stood up. Since returning from Delxun Forest, Jungkook seemed to have changed. His personality was unpredictable, and the great elder wondered whether Jungkook would really just give one slap and kill off Feng Jiu if he got impatient anymore than this.
Jungkook nodded and got up, striding out the door. He didn't want to stay another second longer in this place.
Eunwoo caught sight of Mo Li's disappearing figure, shaking his head. He sent a text to Hanbin-[Mo Li has met with your sister.]
Then, not bothered how Hanbin would react, he left the place. He gave one last glance to Feng Jiu before he did, shaking his head again. Of all the things he had to say, he had to talk about Lisa in front of this bunch of people. Was he really looking to die?
***
Mo Li, who was standing by the gate, watched as Jungkook left the place without so much as a glance at her. She couldn't help but call out to him, "Brother!"
She hadn't entered the gates to hear what those people had been talking about, but since she heard that Jungkook was here, she had rushed over to try to catch him, and now she stood here, intercepting him at the gates. She looked up at him, stubbornly refusing to avert her gaze.
Though his eyes had never stayed more than a second on her own face in all the time she had known him.
Jungkook finally stopped, turning around slowly. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Mo Li, his elegant face looking straight at her, and his eyes were his usual cold ones, as well as his voice. "You called me 'brother'?"
In Lisa's explanations about his relationships and people, she had never mentioned a sister. If he had one, she definitely would have told him.
Lisa wouldn't lie to him, so the one who was lying was this girl then.
"Jeon Jungkook, stop right there!" Mo Li stepped forward, wanting to pull on the corner of his clothes, but before she could touch him, her neck felt a chill.
She lowered her head to see the cold blades of the Seven-Frosted Blade resting there, feeling a prickle of pain from her neck.
"You're lying." Jungkook stood, his hands clasped behind him, a chilling look on his face.
Mo Li stared at Jungkook, feeling that he was even more unfathomable than before, but the smile was still on her face as she replied, "Who says? I'm not only your sister, but also the most important person to you."
Hearing those words, Jungkook's face hardened further. The Seven-Frosted Blade let out a buzzing sound, flying straight towards Mo Li's neck.
What nonsense, he couldn't even remember who she was, how could she be his most important person!
Hoseok was initially standing on the side, but when he saw what was happening, he paled. He immediately ran up to stop him, saying in a low voice next to his ear, "Big Boss, you can't kill this person."
Lisa had said before, Hoseok was someone he could trust.
Jungkook hesitated a while, before withdrawing the Seven-Frosted Blade. He didn't bother to give another look to Mo Li, turning around and leaving immediately.
Hoseok turn to follow behind him, but he glanced back at her, giving a muttered greeting to Mo Li before he left.
"He's getting less and less humane." Mo Li sighed, regaining her spirit soon after as she watched Jungkook's disappearing back.
But what was with Hoseok's last look?
Eunwoo had been standing not far away, watching this interaction. Only after Jungkook left, did he come out and walk to her.
"Mo Li," Eunwoo started, a sly smile on his lips. "Do you know what happened to Jeon Tzuyu?"
Jeon Tzuyu? Mo Li frowned the moment the name was mentioned. She had been encased in ice for three years, and knew nothing about the latest happenings in the outside world. When she came back, all she heard from Taehee was 'Lili this' and 'Lili that', so she had gone to the great elder to find out who this person was. After that, she followed the second elder to Mingzhou, which lead up to where they were now.
Everything that happened in Mingzhou was so exciting and intense, Mo Li didn't have time to look at the current happenings of the ancient martial arts world.
When Eunwoo mentioned that name, she suddenly recalled that when she had gone back this time, Taehee had not mentioned the name 'Jeon Tzuyu' once. The last she remembered, Taehee had thoughts of getting Tzuyu to join their family, which made her heart skip at the thought. "Jeon Tzuyu? What happened to her?"
That's strange, Tzuyu should have been the first person to lose her cool when Mo Li returned.
"Just wait till you get back to the ancient martial arts world, you'll know." Eunwoo smiled in triumph as he looked at Mo Li.
The current ancient martial arts world had been turned upside down by Lisa, and it was no longer the same as it was years ago.
"Murong Eunwoo!" Mo Li frowned, opening her mouth with the intention to use her charmspeak.
"You better not use your charmspeak on me again." Eunwoo tilted his head slightly to look back at her, a sinister smile on his face. "Otherwise, I'll get Miss Lalisa to tell us how to make your charmspeak invalid to everyone else."
He was already feeling irritated on the inside, and seeing Mo Li like this only served to make him feel more irritated, and so he didn't tell her of Lisa and Jungkook's relationship.
Mo Li abruptly swallowed the words that she had wanted to say.

Lisa's smile disappeared after Jungkook left. What had happened to Jungkook? She took a deep breath, brushing aside those questions for now.
"Beauty Lisa, good morning! Hurry up and look at Weibo!" Jiji opened the door and greeted her.
"What happened to you?" Lisa pulled out her phone, opening the app. The corner of her eyes were still on Jiji's broken and battered body, her fingers pausing in what she was doing.
"Let's not talk about it, I was slapped by Master Jeon." Jiji whimpered. "Beauty Lisa, you have to get justice for me! Master Jeon is absolutely out of control now!"
Lisa turned her attention to the page on the phone in her hand. "... That was a good slap."
Jiji fell to the ground and cried.
Clicking on Weibo's hot topics, the headlines caught her eyes, Lisa read through it, feeling joyful.
The popular headline on Weibo was titled 'Things We Regular Folk Don't Know About'.
"Look at this, the first picture is a thick bolt of lightning. It was taken by OP on the balcony yesterday. OP actually went to Fairy Lake yesterday with some friends, but an earthquake happened. A group of soldiers came and led the regular folk away. OP was sick, that's why I didn't leave the hotel, and was able to witness such a scene! Take a look at the second picture, the dense silhouettes in the air! And those buildings beside the lake, it looked like it had been struck by lightning... [JPEG] [JPEG] [JPEG] [JPEG] [JPEG] Do you think this is something ordinary people will be able to do?"
【OP, if you want to photoshop pictures, you are also too exaggerated already man.】
【OP, I suggest that you go to another hospital.】
【OP, you're great.】
In the beginning, all the responses were similar, until a famous photoshop master finally posted a comment that said, 【This picture, it wasn't photoshopped.】
Because of this sentence, the entire Weibo exploded in an instant.
Most people were skeptical about it, but there were people who believed it. If it wasn't photoshopped, then this was a serious matter. Especially since people from Mingzhou were commenting things like, 【Last night, we couldn't see any moon or stars. It felt like we had sunk underground!】
This matter had exploded so much that even the officials in Weibo couldn't do anything to stop it.
If this continued on, the consequences would really be serious, and the ordinary people would start to panic.
Lisa touched her chin thoughtfully, then reached out and forwarded this Weibo.
(Verified) For A Millenium: Have I told you guys that I'm actually from Mars? //@ OP
She hasn't posted in Weibo for almost a month, but her fans still followed her Weibo all the same. Her influence was undeniable, and so her entire page has become like this:
【No selfie, not good】
【Beauty Lisa, you've disappeared for 36 days and 45 hours 】
【What a coincidence, I am also from Mars.】
【Just say that you're pretty, that's enough. 】
【Thinking of you saying this with such a beautiful serious face, fine! I'll believe you no matter what you say!】
【I'm a descendant of a dragon, a flower of our motherland, and a daughter of China. Have I said that? Do you see me showing off?】
【I've finally found the organization, I thought I was the only one left from Mars. 】
【C*nt, the labour and capital aren't humans also they don't say anything!】
【The comments bow down to you, seriously.】
Those comments were still coming in, and a few minutes later, Seokjin reposted this Weibo that Lisa had posted.
(Verified) Li Seokjin: Head back to Mars with me, sis. I'm your brother for real //@ (Verified) For A Millenium: Great, have I told you guys that I'm actually from Mars? //@ OP
【Officially, you both aren't siblings. Please hit the blackboard and draw the key points1!】
【No matter how bright the moon shines at any time, my 'god' you will still be a single dog. 】
【My god and goddess are both bragging seriously right now, I won't say anymore. My flying saucer is about to drive back to Bala Bala planet.】
【My parents actually told me that I'm a descendant of the Flame Emperor, this is a secret that I never dared to tell anyone.】
【Up there, you're not only a descendant of the Flame, you're also the descendant of Yanhuang.】
Then, Suzy, Jieun and a few other celebrities also reposted this Weibo, until the phrase 'Have I told you guys that I'm actually from Mars?' became a sort of catch phrase on the internet throughout the entire China, and the list of popular topics in Weibo also changed into 'God And Goddess, Why Don't You Guys Go Up To Heaven'.
A turmoil that had yet to start was toppled over by Lisa in an instant, buried six feet under.
"Beauty Lisa, you're the real awesome one here." Jiji watched for a while, before finally saying that to her.
As expected of her! It was practically like murdering people without a trace, extremely sinister and vicious indeed!
The relevant departments in Weibo couldn't figure out a way to suppress or divert this matter for a long time, and Lisa had easily solved it.
She was flipping through the comments, only moving to turn off her phone when she reached Nichkun's courtyard. Just before she did, she saw a message that Seokjin had sent over.
Seokjin: Miss Lalisa, I'm in America, and I met an interesting person. [JPEG]
Lisa opened the picture, and her hands paused. It was a picture of Eunha, and she was standing next to a man. The photo was slightly blurred, but she could still recognize the person in it. The man was also familiar.
If he was familiar, then she should have met him before. With her good memory, how come she couldn't recall?
Lisa was deep in thought.
Until Nichkun called her name, and she finally came back to herself.
"How are your injuries?" Nichkun seemed to already know that she would come looking for him. He was sitting at the table in the yard, another cup of tea already in front of the vacant chair.
"It's fine, not something I'll die from." Lisa sat in the seat where the cup was placed. She reckoned it would take a while more before she was used to so much chi in her body.
The chi circulating in her body was still too rampant, although Jungkook had sorted it out, there were still bursts of energy pressure in her limbs and bones, which was something only she could slowly clear by herself.
Luckily, after that battle, even her opponent was badly injured, and shouldn't be making a comeback anytime soon yet. They needed to take advantage of this downtime to improve the strength of the ancient martial arts world, and Lisa was worried about it, especially since Jungkook was in this state too.
Nichkun's expression relaxed slightly after hearing her words. When he had seen her, he already knew that her injuries were probably not too serious.
It's just that his mind couldn't help but replay the scene that happened yesterday night, and he opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but then he decided against it, the corner of his lips lifting up. "Thank you for helping me save the flowers in the yard."
Nichkun's expression was calmed as usual, and he took a sip of tea before continuing, "I didn't understand some moves in the last chess game, we should have another game when we have the chance."
Lisa had come today to talk about the calamity and turning point, and didn't expect Nichkun to bring this up instead. Before she could reply, the door to the yard was opened.
Squeak!
A handsome figure stood outside the door, his expression was indifferent, and his ink eyes were dark. His eyes swept across the courtyard, pausing on Nichkun, and it felt like his eyes got slightly colder.
