Volume 1, Chapter 46: What Was Thought to Be an Accident Turned Out to Be Man-Made

(1/3)
It wasn't until the man held his head high, closed the door again, and left that murmurs gradually arose in the hall once more.
The next moment, a tiger three meters tall and ten meters long descended from the sky. Sand and stones immediately flew, tree branches shattered, and the scene instantly plunged into chaos.
Mother Tian pursed her lips and wanted to say something more, but seeing the calmness and aloofness in the young girl's eyes, she swallowed her words back down. It was better to say less; this matter could not be rushed.
"Objection. The testimony of the defense witness does not clearly prove anything," Attorney Li Xiande stated immediately after Zhou Li finished speaking.
Wu Xingyun sneered. "Father, you can't possibly intend to meddle in that mess of the Liu family, can you? That's not something a mere pittance of silver can smooth over. Besides, if you knew that the Liu family is the behind-the-scenes owner of the Brocade Weaving House, would you still help them?" Wu Xingyun dropped another bombshell.
After Madam Ning pleaded and pursued him with questions for a long time, she finally got only one sentence out of him: "The time is not yet right." After that, he tightly closed his eyes and refused to open them or speak another word no matter what.
She dared not be careless, nor could she afford to be. Perhaps the slightest lack of caution would cause Yan Boliang to become paralyzed. She mobilized all the spiritual energy within her body, her breathing steady and prolonged, her gaze focused. Under her control, her spiritual energy was like a water membrane so thin it could hardly be thinner, at times soft and at times rigid.
Xu Yang turned it over in his mind, and the jadeite contained within all the rough stones on the first floor became completely clear to him. He owed this to his last supernatural ability upgrade; it seemed his brain was now like a CPU and hard drive in a computer, upgrading and becoming further developed with every elevation of his powers.
Seeing this scene, He Silang turned cold all over. He sprinted forward, grabbed his wife who was still squatting on the ground, and bolted rapidly toward the front-left.
Covered in black robes and his face masked, Yang Fang slapped Bailu awake with a heavy palm, his gaze icy and terrifying as he stared fixedly at Bailu.
Now the Soul-Returning Bead was also missing, and the most important thing was that I had no way to sense it. If not for the cousin's ability to search souls, we would never have been able to find the Soul-Returning Bead in this lifetime.
At this moment, Yun Yu's mood was extremely pleasant, as if he could already see a bright future beckoning to him.

Ning Sansi waved his left hand gently, and Ning Qiankun felt a soft force pulling him toward his father. Unable to put up even a shred of struggle, his arm was caught by his father.
Huo Shan had visited the Weiyang Palace countless times, but at this moment, the Weiyang Palace in his eyes was already like a living hell. He looked around in a daze, truly terrified in his heart. With a loosening of his hand, his sheathed sword dropped to the ground once more.
She suddenly remembered that on the day before she left Dongdu for Xingluo Granary, she had also gone there. The scene then was somewhat different from the present moment.
The 'Ye Chen' looked icy, staring coldly at Yang Fang, yet a series of ripples was likewise stirring deep within his heart.
Although that person harbored doubts inside, he didn't ask too much; since the other party had put it that way, that was how it stood.
The Emperor had originally thought that this Mu Xi possessed the Buddha Lotus, but it turned out to be nothing more than empty posturing, inevitably growing somewhat impatient with her. After all, boasting with empty words was easy; who knew whether she could actually retrieve the Buddha Lotus? After all, that was a sacred place of Buddhist cultivation—how could it tolerate her going to pluck the Buddha Lotus?
Guan Yunmu had said the matter was brought forward, likely because she was about to follow the Grand Duke to Liaoxi, worrying that once she left, she herself would be young and inexperienced, causing conflicts with Aunt Hui at home and leading to domestic unrest or even greater disputes. That was why she had settled everything with her in advance.
Murong Yan stood up and said, "It is as true as gospel. If possible, I am willing to carve out my heart and show it to you."
In a car not far away, Mo Jiyan watched all this, suddenly slamming his fist against the steering wheel, his eyes stained scarlet.
At that time, Zhang Xu could leave the capital without a second word; that separation could not do without Peng Zhen's deterrence. This time, if Elder An hadn't stepped forward with his staunch support, how would Zhang Xu have dared to appear before me once again?
It was out of sudden anxiety that when Li Qing entered through the doorway, she hadn't noticed that Lu Shaocong had come over again early in the morning—recently, Lu Shaocong had indeed been visiting far too frequently.
It seemed things were growing increasingly complicated. Dong Qiuwei's words carried hidden meanings, and Zhang Xuance's father must have once shared a romance with her; this relationship was truly a tangled mess.

It must be said that this was a rare and pleasant surprise, whether for Ye Qingfeng or for them all.
As for Peng Ting, either through Aunt An Nian or the old master of the Peng family, hints had been revealed between the lines. I could roughly guess that Peng Zhen had a brother, and furthermore, this brother was likely no longer among the living.
In truth, I could sense that Dong Qiuwei had been planning this for a long time. These ideas could definitely not have been conceived in just a year or two; this skyscraper, the designer from Cambridge University, and her operations in the European market—she had a crystal-clear grasp of it all.
Jennifer's previous scores were all above 9, and there were even some 8s; these scores for Shu Yuewu practically pronounced her death sentence.
He hadn't felt it at first, but now, as he killed more and more people, the sensation of this life force draining away was actually accelerating gradually.
He spoke continuously, yet judging by his intent, it seemed he was not discussing matters with his own lord, but rather speaking with his opponent, Liu Bei Liu Xuande—and indeed, that was the actual case.
Su Ran thought with resentment, and immediately burst into laughter. This Corpse-Locking technique is not bad at all! These shady players are still pretty decent after all! With a single claw, he shattered the scroll. "Zombie cannon fodder brothers, don't hold back anymore; it's time to go out and see the sun!" Meanwhile, he bent down and continued digging into this half-excavated grave.
"Then we kill them and wipe out the barbarian tribes!" Xiaohou thought to himself that these Southern Barbarians truly could not be left alive. Liu Zhang's failure to develop was inextricably linked to these barbarians; for the longest time, the barbarians had given Liu Zhang no end of trouble, recurring back and forth and leaving Liu Zhang overwhelmed with cares, with never an opportunity to expand outward.
