Volume 1 Chapter 28: Estrangement Between Mother and Son

Seeing that the mountain stronghold’s garrison had finished tidying up, the various leaders instructed their subordinates to handle the prisoners before heading up the mountain together.

"Seventh Brother, Brother, please keep calm," Li Jin said. Her voice was not loud, nor was her tone heavy, yet it caused everyone to quiet down instantly.

She had been personally trained by Liu Yizhan; she was highly skilled in archery, horsemanship, and military tactics. Back in Qing'an, it was her "Three Stars Chasing the Moon" maneuver that nearly cost Na Ruo his life, chasing him all over the mountains in a miserable state.

Watching the people leave one by one, Wu Lei drummed his fingers on the table, seemingly deep in thought.

As for Fadir, who had been rescued from the crime, he was a "Ghost" who had received "special attention." Even after several years of recuperation, it would be considered a good recovery if he could walk normally.

Just as Lin Shihao wanted to witness for himself what Liu Jinlu was up to next, she took the initiative to find him.

She was a long-legged girl with a figure—well, the kind of chest where one could race horses. She had long, flowing hair and wore sunglasses; behind the shades, it was hard to tell if she was truly beautiful or not, but judging purely by her attire, she was likely a solid seven-out-of-ten.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xu was instantly stunned. Not knowing what was going on with this fellow, he couldn't help but turn to look at Ding Sisi.

Li Jin naturally had no interest, but when she turned to look at her subordinates, she saw that although they were sitting in a dignified posture, their flickering gazes betrayed their inner thoughts.

"What do you mean, 'how was it'?" Mu Xiaojing blushed at the memory of Cui Mo’s solid muscles.

"Why do you keep staring at me? Do you think I'm that much of a stranger?" Ding Qiong looked up and smiled, her eyes curving into crescent moons.

Yifan shouted again. As the shout fell, a golden dragon claw, wrapped in what looked like a blue stream of water, unleashed a dragon’s roar and slammed fiercely toward the old man.

Although he saw the situation with absolute clarity, Zhong Nan still entered the palace to express his gratitude for the Emperor's grace. Currently, he was in the honeymoon period of his relationship with Zhu Yijun, and he needed to make good use of this time to help the Emperor while also strengthening himself.

Speaking to the end, her voice slowed, a trace of heaviness staining her heart. She had too many misgivings; for the sake of the Lan family, or perhaps for herself, she could not easily give her heart away.

"Jing'an thanks you on their behalf, Your Highness." Lan Junyao spoke in a formal, business-like manner. She had already given him the chance; if he insisted on not relenting, then such an explanation was not worth having.

It wasn't that she liked or disliked any particular color; her hair color and stage appearance were always determined by necessity.

As the two "Dragon-Lion Beasts" fell, the霞光 (haze-light) around the Bagua mirror began to flicker. Then, the blinding light gradually dissipated, and the light orb enveloping Yifan and Ling Feng grew much fainter.

"Oh my! Young Master, it’s been a while since you last visited!" Lin Xi had only just stepped through the door when he was spotted by the sharp-eyed madam. Before he could even try to run, he was tethered by her voice.

"Reporting to Your Highness..." Mo Yi looked at the colorful expressions on the Prince's face, weighing the possibility of being implicated for delivering this news. "It is~~~" Mo Yi spat out the word with great difficulty, the final syllable drawn out long.

Zhan Yunfei joined his fingers into a sword shape and pointed forward. The Five-Clawed Ice Dragon roared, shaking the heavens, its domineering aura exposed. The frigid air radiating from its body seemed to freeze the very void.

"Oh, Mr. Lü Jiwei, please don't be anxious. I may not understand the charm of the Eagle Mouth Mountain mine right now, but I can guarantee you that I will definitely conduct an in-depth study of it in the future. There is no doubt about that." Gu Fei patted his chest, his expression extremely sincere.

Zhang Tian had not expected the opponent to strike so suddenly, but he remained composed. With his considerable combat experience, he watched the punch coming toward him and met it with a double-palm strike.

Zhang Tian didn't understand warfare either, but he felt that defending the city should be no problem under these conditions. He truly wondered how the orcs had managed to take the city gates that day.

Long Jiu trusting Ye Xiu was one thing—after all, Long Jiu had been by Zhao Ruobing's side for a long time and had interacted with Ye Xiu extensively; Ye Xiu had had plenty of opportunities to influence Long Jiu's judgment and earn his trust. But how could even Long Yi trust Ye Xiu so much?

The black-robed old man reached up and untied the black blindfold covering his eyes. Beneath the blindfold, the two eye sockets were empty and sunken.

Yuan Ailing, filled with excitement, almost rushed out to meet the reinforcements. But upon seeing who the rescuers were, her heart, which had been warm, immediately plunged into an ice cellar.

Someone shouted outside the tent, and for a moment, the entire camp began to seethe with activity. Everyone had been waiting for this day, but no one expected it to begin so early.

Outside the main gate, Lin Xueqing wore a long white dress. Even on the freezing Changbai Mountain, she felt not a hint of cold, dressed much like a model walking the runway at Paris Fashion Week.

The moment he raised his dagger, the confidence of the man in black—which had been beaten down by Ye Xiu's punch and shaken by the Innate Realm strength Ye Xiu had displayed—suddenly returned a little.

Zhang Hongwei nodded. He didn't ask which club Zhang Shujie wanted to join; he believed his son had his own ideas and plans. Besides, it wouldn't be long before news broke on the transfer market.

Chen Hui didn't reply, and the other reporters remained silent as well, simply gazing at the Chinese players on the pitch.

After a sniper fires, it is difficult to fire continuously. It is not because of a lack of stamina, but because it is hard to maintain the accuracy of the sniper shot after the second round.

"To be precise, it wasn't unsealing, but rather wanting Naruto to attempt to control the Nine-Tails' power. Kakashi, did you ever enter Naruto's body before to converse with the Nine-Tails?" Jiraiya asked.

Ni Zihan’s scream alerted Chen Zhifan and the two elders who were speaking. One of the elders did not turn back but gently flicked his sleeve. The falling fan stopped in mid-air, unable to descend a single inch further.

To a certain extent, the brothers-in-misfortune, Maerke and Laura, illustrated the national conditions of Pakistan.

Qu Jingfeng was standing directly beneath the fan. If he had been struck by it, he would certainly have been severely injured.

The *swish-swish* sound grew more frequent. *No*, Luo Hebin stood up immediately and followed the sound for a few meters.

M8 fell silent. This silence was undoubtedly an admission of what Zhang Yiming had said. No one dared to rashly challenge the strongest man in the world without fully understanding him.
