Open up and break into another world

Wait, wait?

Could there be a surprise?

Xu Ming was clearly overthinking it.

Gu Hanmo had merely regained her ability to speak. Seeing that Xu Ming was about to leave, she quickly said, "I really like this coming-of-age gift. Thank you!"

After Xu Ming left, Gu Hanmo closed the door and lay on the bed, letting the paper cranes circle and dance around the room.

"Sigh..."

After a long while, for some unknown reason, Gu Hanmo sighed heavily.

...

Early in the morning, the Desolate Hall was already bustling with activity.

As the only daughter of the Desolate Sect's Master, Gu Hanmo's coming-of-age ceremony was naturally grand and unparalleled. Even Liang Hui, as the son of the Grand Elder Liang Weihe, had a coming-of-age ceremony that paled in comparison to Gu Hanmo's.

Guests entered one after another, presenting their gifts.

Of course, these gifts were merely symbolic; they were just tokens of goodwill and didn't need to be particularly valuable. Only those with extremely close relationships would offer substantial gifts.

"City Lord of Desolate City, Lei Guanlan, has arrived!"

A middle-aged man with an imposing aura walked in, none other than the City Lord of Desolate City, a half-step Condensed Core expert—Lei Guanlan.

"Inner Sect, Zhou Xuanlin, has arrived!"

"Inner Sect, Liang Han, has arrived!"

"Inner Sect..."

Those attending the coming-of-age ceremony were mainly people from the Desolate Sect; besides them, there were also some friendly experts from around Desolate City.

"Inner Sect Elder, Liang Hui, has arrived!"

Liang Hui!

Liang Hui, however, acted as if he hadn't noticed Gu Hanmo's unpleasant expression at all, and instead smiled even more enthusiastically: "This is my coming-of-age gift for you—a Soul Nourishing Pill!"

"A Soul Nourishing Pill!"

"It's a Soul Nourishing Pill!"

The surrounding area immediately erupted in gasps of surprise.

"Elder Liang Hui is not only young and promising but also very generous!" No matter where you go, there are always creatures who suck up to others.

"That's right, that's right! A Soul Nourishing Pill is worth at least fifty high-grade Xuan Stones! Many at the Perfected Foundation Establishment stage wouldn't be able to scrape together one even if they sold all their possessions!"

"As expected of Elder Liang Hui, what a generous gift!"

"Hmph!" A hint of smugness flashed across Liang Hui's face, as if celebrating his successful display of wealth.

Gu Hanmo merely said "Thank you" with a blank expression, and then, too lazy to even accept it herself, directly signaled for a servant to take the gift.

His warm face pressed against a cold backside; Liang Hui was immediately embarrassed.

Fortunately, someone else arrived soon after, and Liang Hui hurriedly retreated to the side.

After a while...

"First Disciple of the Inner Sect, Xu Ming, has arrived!"

Whoosh!

The reaction at the scene was even more enthusiastic than when Liang Hui had arrived.

Gu Hanmo's eyes lit up directly, and she almost couldn't resist going forward to greet him.

"He is Xu Ming, who comprehended the fifth level of Perfect Domain at the age of fifteen!"

"It's truly unbelievable... By the time he reaches twenty, he'll probably be a powerful figure even among those at the Core Formation stage!"

Anyone could see that Xu Ming's talent was much higher than Liang Hui's. His future achievements would also be much greater than Liang Hui's!

"I wonder what kind of gift he'll bring!"

"As the First Disciple of the Inner Sect, he shouldn't be stingy, right?"

"Do you think it's possible that he'll give away the Soul Nourishing Pill he won at the Sect Tournament?"

"I don't think so! A Soul Nourishing Pill is worth fifty high-grade Xuan Stones. Can Xu Ming be as generous as Liang Hui?"

"I don't think so either!"

Xu Ming walked unhurriedly to Gu Hanmo and said with a smile, "Empty-handed, no gift brought. Am I welcome?"

At the same time, Xu Ming deliberately transmitted a flirtatious message: "You look very beautiful today!"

Gu Hanmo rolled her eyes, as if to say—when am I not beautiful?

The two exchanged a few subtle glances, and then Xu Ming really went in empty-handed.

"What? Xu Ming actually didn't bring anything at all?"

"Isn't that a little too stingy? He should have brought at least some small thing!"

"Too impolite!"

"Xu Ming..." Liang Hui looked at Xu Ming with murderous intent.

"Deliberately throwing the message talisman into the latrine to lure me over... and hiding Explosive Flame Talismans in the latrine..."

The experience of assassinating Xu Ming last time was simply a lifelong humiliation for Liang Hui! Perhaps, even after ten, twenty, or fifty years, it would still be a psychological shadow that Liang Hui couldn't erase!

Liang Hui would always remember the taste of sh*t that autumn.

What frustrated Liang Hui the most was that he had suffered injustice but couldn't confide in anyone; he couldn't even tell his father, Liang Weihe, the truth.

How could he say it?

Was he supposed to say that he went to assassinate Xu Ming but was instead blasted with sh*t by Xu Ming?

Liang Hui was suffering in his heart! But Liang Hui couldn't say it!

"Just wait, I don't believe I won't find a chance to kill you!" Liang Hui's eyes were ice-cold, "And... if you're really the one who's been stealing from the mines, then you're not far from death..."

Liang Hui had already set up the trap, just waiting for Xu Ming to jump in.

"No! I can't let you die so easily! I'm going to imprison you and torture you every day! I'm going to make you wish you were dead!"

In Liang Hui's eyes, the flames of hatred were burning fiercely.

"Die!! Die!! Die!!"

He had to make Xu Ming die!

Suddenly, Liang Hui deliberately said loudly: "What kind of person is that? They really don't have any manners! They dare to come to someone else's coming-of-age ceremony empty-handed? Even if they're stingy, they should at least bring some small gift to show their appreciation, right?"

Although Liang Hui didn't mention anyone by name, everyone knew that he was talking about Xu Ming.

What would Xu Ming's reaction be? Quickly make up for it with some gift?—Everyone shifted their gaze to Xu Ming.

Xu Ming choked Liang Hui back with one sentence: "What's my relationship with Hanmo? Do I still need to give gifts?"

Everyone could hear that Xu Ming's words were clearly a provocation to Liang Hui.

Liang Hui was pursuing Gu Hanmo, which was no secret in the Desolate Sect. However, Gu Hanmo had always kept Liang Hui at arm's length, but she was very close to Xu Ming.

At this time, Gu Hanmo said: "Xu Ming has already given me a gift."

"Given it?" Liang Hui sneered, "Who believes that! You're deliberately helping him out of this predicament, right?—Then you just randomly took out some small thing of your own from your storage ring and said it was his gift, right?"

"He really gave it, and it's not a small thing!" Gu Hanmo didn't want to see Xu Ming embarrassed in this kind of situation.

"Heh, it's still not a small thing!" Liang Hui's sneer became even sharper, "Then take it out and let everyone see what kind of valuable gift he gave you!—But... even if you randomly take out something from your storage ring, how can you prove that it was Xu Ming's gift and not your own?"

Gu Hanmo originally didn't want to engage in this kind of emotional dispute with Liang Hui, but she couldn't stand Liang Hui saying that.

"Of course I can prove it!"

Gu Hanmo spread out her hand, and three pills appeared in her hand, precisely the Five Elements Spirit Clearing Pill, the Enlightenment Pill, and the True Martial Breakthrough Pill!

"These three pills can prove it, right!?"
