Chapter 19
Furthermore, even if they were to confront each other face to face, Mo Beicheng would certainly not tell the truth. Since that was the case, he had no choice but to conduct his own private investigation.
At this moment, Xu Wanyi felt a wave of surprise. Could it be that the Crown Prince had come to hold her accountable because of the Princess’s rude behavior yesterday?
Descending more than twenty meters, there was a bend. Zhuge Xin shone a powerful flashlight, and some twenty meters below her feet, there appeared to be a bottom, with something visible on the floor of the crevice.
Ma Dong took the opportunity to tell her that he had many people in need of capital, but they were all scared off by high interest rates; if the rates were lower, he might be able to secure a few deals. He asked if she had any time, and if so, suggested they go to Wuzhi Peak together tomorrow.
Zhou Zimo frowned, resting his head on her belly, unwilling to speak. He hadn't heard her call him "husband," and had even invited a scolding instead; he was filled with unhappiness.
Everything felt like a dream, with no possibility of turning back. When Yang Yang returned home that night, she felt as if she had insight into everything. She now knew exactly what Yijun was thinking, yet even with that clarity, she found herself unable to face it.
He pressed tightly against Shen Qingqing’s body to prevent her from being exposed, then pulled her dress up before finally letting her go.
Although he might have meat to eat tonight, Ji Xiaohan suppressed all these surprises deep in his heart, revealing not a hint of them.
The Central Plains people have a saying: "A gentleman takes his revenge, ten years is not too late." One must keep the green hills intact to ensure there is wood to burn. Yes, if you can’t win, run away.
Ning Yichu did not pull her hand away, simply letting him hold it. If she showed even the slightest aversion toward him now, perhaps what she wanted to do tonight would fall through.
The daily expenses of the Duanmu estate were not what they used to be. With the old master bedridden, there was no talk of a comeback. They had to prepare for the worst; half the servants were dismissed, and the families that had relied on the Duanmu estate also suffered heavy losses before they could find other patrons.
Actually, there was one thing Pei Yuan had not mentioned: by the time Hua Fang finished his seclusion, he would have already left the Martial Academy to follow his father to the Liewu Gate for training. It had been agreed upon when he first came to the Sanyi Scripture Academy that once he reached a stable innate state, he would return to the Liewu Gate, participate in the martial artist examinations there, and naturally join the Liewu Gate in the future.
"Brother Yang Xiu and the others are back! Everyone come out!" Agu’s voice reached the entire village. Doors opened one after another, and everyone gathered at the entrance of the village.
Consequently, these people could not help but gossip about Chu Cunan in private, rarely using any titles of respect for her.
The Chaos Stone previously contained a drop of blood from a god and a demon. Shen Qingming added another drop, resulting in a chaotic, thunderous reaction.
With her husband in such a state and her own mother being a criminal, many people laughed at Qi Feiyan behind her back, and even fewer looked up to her.
The police squad assembled in the shortest time possible—an elite team of about twenty men, each armed with a submachine gun—surrounded the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
"Yes, Sect Leader." After receiving the order, Jian Jueqing immediately passed it down. From this moment on, the White Lotus Sect would live in a nightmare that would never end, until they were destroyed.
The driver knew this was an excuse, but he could not afford the consequences of neglecting Qi Feiyan’s health, so he had to compromise.
Brother Fei was full of resentment, but he dared not speak out. This plot of land and the factory area were the Crocodile Gang’s largest asset and his own life’s work. He had intended to rely on the rent for his retirement, but he hadn't expected to run into such a ruthless character today who forced him to hand everything over for nothing.
This was likely the calculation of these cosmic wanderers. They did not want the United Forces to know their location, nor did they want the United Forces to enter their ports; hiding among these wrecks was a decent choice.
Even the higher-ups had given him a strict order: this matter must not have a single error. Yet now, he hadn't expected that Baicao Hall actually had such a rule—refusing to treat Japanese people!?
Carl scratched his head. It was obviously a troublesome task, but its significance was equally great.
The Ten Thousand Sword Formation pooled the spiritual energy of all the disciples in the formation to create a unified structure. It was impossible to break the formation by exhausting the spiritual energy of the disciples who set it up; unless everyone’s energy was completely drained, the formation would not disappear.
"How could it be boring in the city? There is so much good food. Some of it I even want to eat a second time." Speaking of city delicacies, even though Nina had dragonized, her eyes shimmered with bright light.
"Hahaha, Uncle Hua, look at Uncle Dong’s face. Don’t you see it on TV all the time!?" Upon hearing and seeing this, Chen Fei couldn't help but burst into laughter and asked with a bit of teasing.
"A-Lan, I can no longer withstand such pressure from you. So, please..." Feeling a sudden, terrifying force bearing down on him, Chief Luo Yuanzhi trembled violently, then offered a bitter smile.
"So the strategic weapons they might use are more worthy of concern," a new voice came from behind him. Following it was an officer he did not recognize; he was clearly from the Ministry of Defense system. This was also an invited guest, and his purpose was exactly the same as the previous one.
It seemed that as the old knight had said, the entrance to the Knight Academy was filled with corruption. Wright felt some anger, but even more heartache; the knights of his ideals should not be like this.
The relationship between Karimya and Ulandoria was known to the whole world. Why didn't this Chinese soldier know about it?
Su Ying gritted his teeth and proceeded with the transaction without a word. He had originally intended to see what the Chaos Bell looked like so he could forge it himself later, but he hadn't expected the system to have a ready-made one. Even for a thousand Heavenly-grade Pure Yang Spiritual Veins, Su Ying would not hesitate.
It would be a lie to say that Chu Ziyang wasn't tempted by such an advertisement. If they really filmed the SK commercial, it would not only be broadcast crazily domestically but also internationally, which would be a great help for Zhou Zekai to go global.
The other party offered one million to have him bring Liu Xiaofei to the Nalanda Monastery; they were likely planning just that.
Unfortunately, she was still far from enough. There are mountains beyond mountains, and the sea of learning is boundless; one must ultimately stay grounded and be prudent in words and actions.
The fact that it had no name and no number meant it was not on the interstellar navigation charts, which meant they could not launch a distress signal themselves. Perhaps no one would ever come to this planet in their lifetime. A sad story, isn't it?
