Chapter 91: A Stroll Through Lin Tai Pavilion

Sheng Yuhong had clearly overheard the two junior sisters’ conversation, so he suggested that they all go together to the Vermilion Cloud Pavilion. The suggestion made Du Yuling, who was walking beside him, purse her lips.

Yunxi wore a look of surprise and delight, but inwardly she was raging with complaints; she wanted to rush up and clamp Sheng Yuhong’s mouth shut. Hadn’t he noticed that the look Sister Du was giving her was already wrong?

Mu Ningzhu’s expression did not change. Only her eyes flickered before she smiled and said that with Senior Brother Sheng taking the lead, they could all share in the benefit.

After delivering the person home, Zhao Gan did not explain to Yang Dongqian where the money had come from. He only said to find a safer place to put it first, because her brother would have great use for it.

Song Zhiyue was startled, thinking what kind of person would bring over a gun. Coming from a military background, he could tell at a glance that it was a crudely made weapon.

“I never expected the Son of Heaven to trust that treacherous villain so deeply. Truly hateful!” Zhao Ming said fiercely.

A faint fragrance drifted through the air, growing thicker without notice. Phantom images layered over one another, and all the things he had once dared not recall flashed before his eyes with almost brutal swiftness. He gripped the sword hilt so tightly he wished he could sweep away the gray mist before him in a single strike, yet he no longer had the strength even to draw his sword.

They were having a wonderful time, singing and chatting about all manner of things. They talked about how, in the past, the thing they had feared most was being called on by a teacher, and the most terrifying disaster was failing courses in college. But looking back now, it had all been as fleeting as clouds. Only after entering society did one understand what real fear was, what real terror was.

Sima Xiao watched the gracious, elegant smile on her face, and his teeth ground together audibly. She had given away everything he had given her. Was she planning to hand him over to her as well? How very generous, how very indivisible. It was as if to say that even my husband can be taken without ceremony. What were these few ornaments worth?

Yet what surprised the sword sect experts was that when the long sword was about to reach the fire serpent’s head, the serpent seemed to possess a mind of its own. With a twist of its body, it dodged the blow.

Li Siqin had originally wanted to say farewell to Lei Ming and the others together with Ye Chengxuan, but Ye Chengxuan said he wanted to give Lei Ming a chance to complain, and so he firmly would not let her follow.

As soon as he said that, a chorus of sighs rose at once. The pitiful demon hunters had no human rights; before the strong, they did not even have the资格 to compete for resources. Many people began leaving one after another.

In the distance, Guo Lin clenched his fist as Chuxue, cold and expressionless, returned to his side. The golden light in her eyes had already turned into black. Her dark, gleaming pupils seemed capable of seeing through the whole world.

After the formal greetings, the Son of Heaven, in his gracious favor, granted me and Nan Chengyao seats on the first tier of jade steps, while Zhao Mo and Ouyang Xian, who had arrived earlier, were already seated at the foremost place below the steps.

“But that requires a navigation device on the ground to provide positioning, doesn’t it?” Luka remembered that condition.

Zhang Fan called out and walked straight into the conference room. A few minutes later, the remaining senior executives arrived. Seeing the few who were left, Zhang Fan drew a deep breath.

“I think if it doesn’t tear your city apart today, it has no intention of leaving,” Luka said with a yawn.

Every time he got up, his movements were very light, yet on several occasions he still woke me. Whenever that happened, he would always smile and gently kiss my smooth forehead, saying that it was still early and I should sleep a little longer.

Ma Sui discovered that he could no longer see through these people. They looked like Tang subjects, yet everything they did was unlike the Tang. After watching for a long time, he found they shared one thing in common: they never liked to use brute force to get things done.

“It’s like the kind of thing we have for the ship’s water ladder, only powered by electricity,” Luka answered casually.

Zhen Gan’s strange reply was, to Song Xu, like a life rope tossed to a drowning man. It made Song Xu see again that the things around him were not simple, and it also opened his mind to Zhen Gan. This was the first time he had heard someone answer him like that instead of calling him stupid or saying his brain had gone bad.
