Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 465 - 464 Distortion and Dinner Party

In the next moment, he was seen soaring into the sky, shooting towards the distant light column like a bolt of lightning piercing through the atmosphere.

...

Meanwhile, back in a civilian residence in South Mountain City, Wei Cang was astonished as he looked toward the southern light column, "What is that? Could it be some lost magical treasure?"

Behind him, a woman stood with her eyes closed, seemingly sensing something.

"It's not a treasure. I feel… a strong distortion, and a call from the void."

"It's an aberration. A powerful aberration is there, calling its kind."

The woman, shocked, said while looking at the light column, "We must go there quickly. An aberration has awakened and it encountered some trouble, calling for its companions. We need to find him soon, otherwise he might be captured by the Heavenly Demon or the Celestial Court."

...

In East Flower City, inside Lin Muqing's dormitory, Zhou Bai, Jing Xiu, Lin Muqing, Lu Wanzhen, and Xia Li had a rare reunion.

They were long-time classmates. Although Zhou Bai's status had greatly elevated, Jing Xiu and the others were also elites among the human race, chosen from thousands of cultivating geniuses, having faced countless trials and battled with the Heavenly Demon.

In this moment, facing Zhou Bai, they all maintained a normal disposition, feeling somewhat estranged due to months of separation, yet no rift had formed due to Zhou Bai's achievements.

Christina had also come along; however, she hid within Zhou Bai's sea of consciousness, warily observing the four girls present, thinking to herself, 'Hmph, it's good that I insisted on coming. Zhou Bai is actually having a meal with four women and no other men, what is he planning to do? I cannot let him stray off the path. I must keep a close watch on him.'

Jing Xiu: "Zhou Bai, try this Hundred Herbs Soup I made. I especially learned it from my mentor using our heavenly diagram's ability to nurture the body and heal hidden injuries."

Xia Li quickly grabbed a few bites and while eating, she said, "Why are you feeding him something so good, Jing Xiu? He must be super rich by now. You should let me eat more instead." She patted her petite frame, not even reaching one meter sixty, "I'm still growing, seriously lacking in nutrients."

"That's not necessarily true," Lin Muqing said, both distressed and slightly annoyed as she looked at Zhou Bai, "This guy was scammed out of his money in West Mountain City a while back. He's probably broke now. You really need to be more careful."

Jing Xiu: "What? What happened? Can Dao School help get it back?"

Xia Li burst out laughing, "Haha! Even you got scammed? Was it Qian Wangsun?" She choked on her laugh, quickly covering her mouth and swallowing the soup before she asked eagerly, "What exactly happened? Come on, man. Share the story."

Zhou Bai gave Lin Muqing a helpless look. He knew she was well-informed due to her connections with the Sky Flipping Sect and the Night Army, so she likely knew some details about the scam involving Yan Shan.

Zhou Bai said, "It was that… that… I went into business with a celestial being, and then the business flopped, and my investment went down the drain."

Zhou Bai briefly described the process, but everyone still listened with great interest, fascinated by the involvement of over five hundred celestial beings and medicines and talismans worth millions. Just listening was thrilling.

However, after hearing it, Lin Muqing still chided him, "You were too careless. I told you to stop messing with these celestial beings, but you still had to get involved, and now you've lost, right?"

Jing Xiu worriedly asked, "Zhou Bai, how much did you lose?"

Zhou Bai: "Not much, not as much as the rumors say, just 5000 points."

Xia Li was taken aback, "Did you hear that? Just 5000 points? That's worth three or four months of my stipend."

Lin Muqing let out a sigh of relief; she knew well about Zhou Bai's status and importance at Eastern Dao School. Though 5000 points were a lot, it wasn't an unbearable loss for Zhou Bai.

Lin Muqing reminded, "You need to be more cautious from now on, especially since you're going to Daluo Heaven to discuss the Dao. In Central City, these celestial beings are everywhere. Don't get involved with them; it's too easy to waste points."

She then recalled Zheng Wentian who always hosted Zhou Bai. "Celestial beings aren't all as generous and easygoing as Zheng Wentian."

Zhou Bai also thought of Zheng Wentian, and curiously asked, "Is he still in Eastern City?"

Lu Wanzhen sighed, "He's still there, but I've heard that Zi Yang True Monarch has cut him off financially. It seems he's having a tough time now."

Zheng Wentian once had an order from Zi Yang True Monarch to deliberately lose a match during a major school competition. However, he ended up defying the orders.

"Is that so?" Zhou Bai asked about the conditions of other classmates, and as they talked, the feeling of slight estrangement due to his long absence from school gradually dissolved.

Ultimately, Zhou Bai casually inquired about someone he was concerned about, "Are you guys familiar with Nasha?"

Jing Xiu said, "Nasha? After she joined the special training class, she's been cultivating the heavenly diagram with me. She's very talented and pretty, always well-liked. Zhou Bai, what made you think of asking about her?"

"Nothing much, just happened to meet her; she lives next door to me." Zhou Bai chatted more with them, finding in their eyes that Nasha seemed as normal as any other student could be.

After dinner, Zhou Bai suggested they head to the training hall first while he planned to meet Nasha and possibly recruit her into his study group.

Regardless of whether there was an issue, better use her first and figure things out slowly if problems arose.
