The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
Inside the Palace of Upholding the Virtues of Women, Huang Boqi stared expressionlessly at the woman sitting opposite him, who was slurping down tea from a teacup bigger than her face.
Yi Boqi's current mood is the same as when the Second Elder analyzed Zhang Youqiang's situation.
The moment Qingyun took his fatal sword strike, and Zhang Youdao and Zhang Youchui spoke to him with aggrieved looks in their eyes, he already understood.
This competition was not as I had imagined.
The events that occurred during this period were not without flaws, but he simply had absolute trust in the idea that he was turning thirty and did not question it.
So now, he's waiting to turn thirty and give himself an explanation.
With a clatter, he put down the teacup, which was bigger than his face, and grinned at the expressionless man opposite him, who was thirty years old.
"Second brother, let me perform a magic trick for you."
These words made Xiao Boqi roll his eyes. I was waiting for you to explain, but you're going to perform a magic trick on me.
Don't you want to explain why all of this is for?
But the truth is, the saying "at thirty, one stands firm" has no meaning whatsoever.
Not at all.
After getting up, the thirty-year-old shook his arms and legs, then gave Yi Boqi a flirtatious wink.
"Second brother, watch carefully."
As soon as the sound faded, a beam of light containing profound and mysterious spatial laws suddenly emerged from the thirty-year-old man.
And at the moment when that blinding light slowly dissipated.
The original idea of "standing firm at thirty" has disappeared.
Instead, a woman in a noble palace dress, with an exquisite face, smiled at Yi Boqi.
It was an indescribable beauty, noble and aloof yet imbued with a touch of intellectual charm.
Those eyes, which seemed to see through all the illusions of the world, were now filled with tender affection.
He Boqi had seen countless beauties, including Li Miaoru, Xiao Gu, You Li, and Qing He, who had been gone for a long time.
Each of them is stunningly beautiful, and each has her own unique charm.
Li Miaoru's defining characteristic is her wisdom and composure; her smiling face gives people a sense of inexplicable peace of mind.
Xiao Gu's beauty lies in her pure and adorable nature. Coupled with her habit of following behind Yi Boqi with her hands behind her back all day, and occasionally speaking in the tone of an old scholar, her pure and adorable nature is highlighted to the extreme.
Youli's beauty is pure, without a trace of impurity, and her trust in Xiaoboqi is beyond compare, which is related to her background as the queen of plants.
Qinghe's situation is more complicated because she has always restrained herself as a maid, and her eyes always hide emotions she dares not express when she looks at Xiaoboqi.
But the beauty of a woman in her thirties is completely different from theirs; it is a beauty that is noble yet possesses an absolute domineering aura.
This kind of temperament that shouldn't exist on a woman was actually and perfectly displayed before my eyes.
His noble aura, stunningly beautiful face, and all-powerful wisdom made him both unfamiliar and captivating to Xiao Boqi.
So at that moment, he stared blankly at the thirty-year-old man before him.
He knew this was the true face of turning thirty, but he didn't know how to face it.
From male to female, from carefree and irresponsible to so noble and aloof.
Is this still the familiar and trusted life of someone who is thirty and ready to stand on their own two feet?
Just as Yi Boqi was struggling with his inner conflict, the beautiful woman in palace attire in front of him smiled, and then the light flashed again.
That familiar "thirty and standing firm" look returned, and then, with a flash of brilliance, she transformed once again into that peerless beauty.
"You can switch between them at will, second brother. I'll become whichever one you like."
But just as Ye Boqi was becoming more and more confused because of her back and forth changes.
Suddenly, the woman in her thirties, now dressed in palace attire, reached out and gently hooked her finger around Yi Boqi's chin.
She slowly brought her head closer to Ye Boqi, then whispered something in his ear, her breath sweet as orchids.
"Second brother, let's cook rice."
Before Ye Boqi could respond, the Palace of Adhering to Women's Virtues suddenly trembled, and then countless formations enveloped the palace.
The rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the Dao Sect also frantically gathered towards the Hall of Adhering to the Virtuous Woman at this moment.
In a short while, the entire palace was enveloped in a giant cocoon of spiritual energy.
While the palace was enveloped by the formation, all the people from the Enforcement Hall of the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect were mobilized to seal off the entire mountain range where the Heavenly Palace was located.
No one is allowed to approach.
On a mountaintop, Zhang Dafu looked at the grand hall enveloped by the array, his expression incredibly complex.
I felt both happy and disappointed; it was a very complicated feeling.
After letting out a long sigh of relief, Zhang Dafu turned and headed towards the back of the mountain.
This puzzled Zhang Daqiu, who was standing to the side on high alert.
Why didn't you launch a sneak attack?
What surprised him was that Zhang Dafu not only didn't sneak up on him and knock him flying, but he also didn't say anything to tease him.
But when he saw the direction Zhang Dafu had gone, he understood the reason.
Because the direction he went was the place where Feng'er's mother was sleeping.
On another mountaintop, Zhang Youdao and Zhang Youchui grinned wildly as they looked at the main hall enveloped by the array.
They were almost killed instantly by a sword, but they didn't hold a grudge against their brother-in-law. On the contrary, they admired him even more.
For the two martial arts fanatics, their brother-in-law's strength completely won them over.
The stronger the brother-in-law, the better he can protect his sister, even though the sister may seem stronger than her brother-in-law, but that doesn't matter.
As long as their younger sister is happy, they will be even happier.
