Chapter 567
Alex was too stunned to speak as the fat woman led him away from the building and onto a nearby path, talking the entire time.Her voice was flat and practiced as she explained the basic rules and customs of the Wudang Sect, as if she had repeated the same words a thousand times before.The path beneath their feet was paved with smooth green limestone, winding through layers of courtyards and elegant buildings.Fragrant plants and blooming flowers filled the air, their scent light and intoxicating.The entire place felt unreal—serene, lofty, almost divine, like a paradise carved out of the mortal world.Alex felt it immediately.Once, he had been a cultivator. Even now, his instincts had not dulled.The natural energy here was astonishingly dense, the kind Xia cultivators called Heaven and Earth Energy. It pressed gently against his skin, seeped into his lungs, and soaked into his bones.Just breathing here refreshed his cells.His thoughts sharpened.On Earth, he had about five years

Alex knew at once that he had blacked out.He had been unable to withstand the invisible pressure released by Wu Bu—the Tiger of Wuhan. Wu Bu had only leaked a trace of his Immortal force, just enough to crush the servants to their knees.It was meant as a warning. A show of dominance. Not an attempt to harm mortals.But Wu Bu did not know the truth.Alex was not from Xia.His body was far weaker than that of an ordinary Xia citizen. What others could endure with clenched teeth had shattered him.Bones strained. Organs screamed. Darkness swallowed his vision.That was why he collapsed.What shocked him now was what came after.When Alex opened his eyes, he was no longer in the City Lord’s residence.He was flying.Cold wind tore past his face as the ground rushed far below. Endless forest stretched beneath him. Beside him—no, holding him—was Li Qingxue.One of her hands was clenched in Alex’s collar, lifting him effortlessly. His body dangled in the air, feet useless, like prey caught

Li Qingxue raised her hand. The simple gesture silenced everyone at once.“Enough,” she said calmly. “This is nothing but mortal gossip. Those who seek immortality should not be affected by such petty stories.”“But it will damage your reputation,” one of her friends insisted, her brows tightly knit.Li Qingxue shook her head. “As long as my heart is pure, I don’t care what others say.”She turned her gaze toward a junior disciple standing nearby.“Junior,” she said evenly, “go and warn the Outer Disciples. Tell them to stop spreading rumors immediately. I will never tolerate fabricated stories. They are to stop disturbing mortals and focus on their cultivation.”“Yes, Senior,” the junior replied without hesitation. He bowed deeply, then turned and left at once.Those who truly knew Li Qingxue understood her well.She wanted nothing except cultivation. Cold. Detached. Untouchable.She had never shown interest in mortal affairs, nor in anyone beneath the heavens.Yet when the warning r

“Hey, Zhuge Liang.” Alex glanced at him lazily. “If that woman kills me, you’ll lose your position as Acting City Lord.”He turned back to the bed, dragged the blanket over himself, and lay down as if the world outside no longer existed.“Handle it yourself,” Alex added with a wide yawn. “I’m going to sleep. Tell her to stop screaming at the gate.”“Sir,” Zhuge Liang said quickly, his voice tense, “she is an Immortal. We mortals should not provoke Immortals.”Alex opened one eye. “So that means she can provoke mortals instead?” he replied flatly.“Anyway, speaking of Immortals… we actually know one, don’t we? Li Qingxue. She gave me a communication talisman.”He reached under his pillow, took out a talisman, and tossed it toward Zhuge Liang without even sitting up.“Use it if you need to,” Alex said. Then he turned over and closed his eyes again.—Outside the Bai Family gate.Murong Yue’s face was burning red.Since joining the Wudang Sect, almost no one had ever dared to look down o

Alex looked straight at Bai Yuhan.“So I’m not your real big brother. Is that it?”Bai Yuhan lifted her chin. Her face was serious, almost stubborn. “No. You’re not.”“Good.” Alex didn’t hesitate. “Then that gold isn’t real either. Give it back.”Bai Yuhan froze.For a split second, her fingers tightened around the wooden box in her hands.“No,” she said again, more firmly this time. “The gold is real. You’re not.”A sharp smile touched Alex’s lips, but there was no warmth in it.“Since I’m not your brother, and you’re not my little sister, I’ll just take my gold back.”He stepped toward her.Bai Yuhan immediately retreated, clutching the box to her chest. “No! This gold is mine.”“But you’re not my little sister,” Alex said flatly.“I am your little sister,” she shot back.“You just said I’m not your big brother.” His voice hardened. “So how exactly are you my little sister? Give me back my gold.”The tension snapped.“Big Brother!” Bai Yuhan blurted out at last, her pride collapsing
Chapter 562
Being powerless was not a sin. But falling from the height of absolute power into total helplessness—that was when life turned from heaven into hell without warning.Alex had no strength left, no hidden force, nothing at all to stop her.None at all.So he lunged forward on instinct and caught the blade with his bare hand.The knife sliced through his fingers. Flesh split open.Blood spilled instantly.The blade slipped from her grip. Alex snatched it away and flung it aside, where it clattered across the floor.“Stop it,” Alex said.“Why?” the young woman screamed. Tears streamed down her face. Desperation burned in her eyes—raw, hopeless, and broken. “My whole life is already ruined because of you. Why shouldn’t I die now?”Alex stared at her.She was small. Too small. Barely fifteen, at most. A child forced to grow up too fast because fate had saddled her with a monster like Bai Xiaochun as her brother.Her eyes locked onto Alex’s, demanding an answer.Why won’t you let me die?Why
