CHAPTER 628: 628 LEAVE

This time it was Shao Hongming driving back. Su Yuanyuan sat in the back, her eyes looking out the window, but her gaze was unfocused.

All her thoughts were now on the three children.

They were truly three beautiful children, and they seemed precociously mature in a way that tugged at the heart. This must be what it means when they say a child without a mother grows up early.

In her past life, she had parents who were as good as absent. She didn’t want the three children to suffer the same plight.

Sigh, that man said he would return in four years. Honestly, she didn’t believe him. She could say she didn’t believe anyone. It was only through her own efforts, for the sake of the three pitiful children.

They were in a fantasy world, she had only read a few novels before, and did not know if it was real.

They already had some clues. But she still held a skeptical attitude, as there was nothing much happening on her side. She needed to find a way too.

Shao Hongming watched Su Yuanyuan daydreaming, knowing her mood must be quite bad now, so he didn’t disturb her.

Upon reaching the sanatorium, they both got out of the car. On the upper floor, Zhou Yongheng watched the two getting out through the window, feeling extremely angry, as if he had been betrayed.

His face showed a vicious expression. In his heart, Su Yuanyuan belonged to him. Yesterday both of them left, and neither came back for the whole night. Today they came back together.

If someone said there was nothing between them, Zhou Yongheng wouldn’t believe it at all. He felt as if his wife was cheating on him.

Su Yuanyuan didn’t say anything to Shao Hongming either. She went straight back to her room.

Shao Hongming just watched her back from behind.

At this moment, Zhou Yongheng came out.

"Hongming. Did you not come back last night?"

"Yes, had some things to do. I’m tired. Going back to rest first."

Zhou Yongheng watched the back of Shao Hongming leaving, feeling overwhelming hate welling up inside.

Su Yuanyuan returned to her room, took a bath, and then lay on the bed.

She thought she wouldn’t sleep, but then found that she woke up after lunchtime had already passed.

Since it was already like this, she decided not to go out. Lying in bed, she picked up a book.

She thought about leaving here tomorrow to find the Zeng Family siblings.

The information they talked about still piqued her interest.

The next day, after breakfast, she found the person in charge and asked for a driver to take her to the train station.

"Su Yuanyuan, are you going to find the Zeng Family siblings?"

"Yes, there’s nothing much to do here, so I’ll go have a look."

"I’ll go with you."

"You. Don’t you have work? Besides, if you want to go, go by yourself."

The rejection was already clear. Although she couldn’t hear Shao Hongming’s thoughts, she remembered what Shao Huade said that day very well.

So, it was better to refuse clearly. She didn’t like ambiguity.

Shao Hongming was hurt by Su Yuanyuan’s words, feeling as if his eagerness was doused with cold water.

But he soon understood why she did it; it was a clear rejection of him.

She was indeed a sensible person. She understood his intentions.

But even so, it wouldn’t change his decision. Giving her a few years to forget about Tan Shaoting and them wasn’t impossible. He could wait.

"Alright, be careful. I think it must be Zeng Yaozu’s obsession at work."

Su Yuanyuan nodded, picked up her luggage, and left in the car.

It wasn’t until lunchtime when Shao Huade and the others realized that she had already left.

Zhou Yongheng’s face showed a moment of gloom, but seeing Shao Hongming also left behind, made him feel a bit better.

Tan Shaoting had now reached the 9th level. He was in an extremely sorry state.

But he suddenly felt the Trial Tower shaking, and the shaking was getting stronger.

He looked up, although he couldn’t see what was happening above. But he thought someone must have already reached the tenth floor of the tower.

Although he wasn’t the one who reached the tenth floor, being able to leave here was enough. Now he didn’t have any thoughts of upgrading or wanting to cultivate to become an immortal.

He just wanted to return to his wife’s side, so he didn’t have any feelings of jealousy. Whoever it was, as long as they left here, it was fine. He just didn’t know how the three children were doing.

He just sat directly on the ground, calmly waiting here.

Qi Yan, Qi Hong, and Qi Wen were all on the tenth floor.

Their three were receiving inheritance. Despite only being at the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer, the feeling of being filled with power was extremely painful for them.

But they gritted their teeth and persisted. They knew this was their opportunity. Although they were still so young, they all had the desire to become stronger.

Their common thought was wanting to return to Mom’s side.

This situation was long and painful for them, but for others, it was only like an instant of the tower shaking, and everyone was ejected.

The first thing Tan Shaoting did after coming out was to look for the children.

Seeing the three of them standing there looking confused, he finally felt relieved.

The four of them walked quickly towards each other.

"Dad, we’re okay."

Tan Shaoting saw the three spirited children, "Good."

The four of them then looked at the others.

The people who had been ejected were also confused.

The five leaders gathered together again. Who had successfully passed the challenge? And how to get out, that was what concerned them most.

Father and the three children now communicated using Divine Sense.

Although Tan Shaoting’s expression didn’t change, he had already realized that it was his three children who reached the top and received the inheritance.

"Do you know how to get out of here?"

"Dad, we can leave in a month."

This now put Tan Shaoting at ease. Being able to leave was enough.

He took out a mat, and the four father and children sat down directly. He was worried the three children were too exhausted. So, he held them together. "Do you want to take a nap?"

It wouldn’t be resolved in a short time.

The three children were indeed exhausted. Although the Trial Tower adjusted according to everyone’s cultivation, they hadn’t rested and just wanted to quickly reach the top.

Now that they were out, and back by their father’s side, they relaxed. They leaned on Tan Shaoting and fell asleep.

Tan Shaoting felt genuine heartache for the children. He tossed out an Array Plate, enveloping the four of them.

Luo Yinghui and the others were all frowning. The one who reached the top was not one of them.

That was the most perplexing part. They didn’t know their teammates’ capabilities well. They considered themselves not capable of such a feat.

"Now, the only thing we want is to leave."

The others nodded. That was their one hope; no matter what, they had to find a way out of here.

They all knew that even if they asked, they wouldn’t get an answer. It was a matter of personal opportunity, and no one would share it. But they were really curious, who exactly had accomplished it, as it was supposed to be those with the highest cultivation.
