Chapter 40

He recounted the information he had obtained, focusing mainly on the bizarre actions of the Brocade-clad Guards from the prefectural yamen.

Outside the Taoist temple, they could not see the battle within. Some disciples desperately tried to break free from the suppression of the Supreme Purity Divine Talisman, but with a muffled thud, they were pressed down by an overwhelming force, their chins slamming against the ground, unable to rise ever again.

Offering not a shred of resistance, she went with the flow, letting herself be embraced and carried into the cramped bedroom where she had once slept for a year and three months.

Jun Xian did not merely know her; he even wanted Wen Yan to become Jun Chen's mother. Little did he know that she truly was his mother.

He was already a tutor to Li Tai. As Li Tai's imperial father, even if Li Shimin wanted to intentionally restrict Li Tai, he would not make a huge fuss over this matter. Not to mention, Li Shimin deeply favored this imperial son, Li Tai.

The people in Lingxi Town all looked up simultaneously, instantly seeing a long, white chi-dragon galloping through the air from Mount Zhuoguang.

Xia Shuying was forced to walk in front, followed by the two sisters flanking her left and right. On the surface, they were escorting her, but in reality, they were afraid she might throw herself away.

Right now, she had to focus entirely on dealing with this fellow. Aside from herself, pretty much the only other person in the city capable of expelling ghostly Qi was National Preceptor Qingshi.

Having survived this physical tribulation, not only would he be able to regain his magical powers, but he would also make even greater progress, reaching a higher level of mastery.

Though unsaid, in the eyes of ordinary people, these three hundred silver dollars were effectively him buying an admission quota for Liu Bao'er.

That heart, originally riddled with scars and incapable of stirring even the slightest ripple, seemed to come back to life instantly because of the news brought by Bai Zhiqing.

Thus, Luo Chenyang also turned his face to look at her. There were still some parents at the school gate, and Gu Yanfei was once again surrounded by onlookers.

Liang Yimo detested owing favors to others the most, because she knew that whatever one owes must be repaid sooner or later. What you owe today might be returned twofold in the future. If possible, it was best to remain even with everyone.

However, given the current situation, she had no grounds to feel aggrieved or cry out. The road was one she had chosen herself; even if she had to crawl, she had to walk it to the end.

It was undeniably a call from her mother. She did not want to answer, but she had already ignored one last night.

Liang Xiaoxiao lowered her head, looking at the chocolate in the palm of her hand. It had long since melted from the warmth of her skin, turning into a soft, unsightly lump.

Taking a deep breath, she put away her phone, washed her face, and looked at herself in the mirror, once again feeling a sense of bewilderment. Even if she managed to shake off Xiao Chenfeng's entanglement today, how was she going to shake off Luo Chenyang?

"Chu Hang, you really are here." Luo Yan had discovered Chu Hang, whose breathing was somewhat unsteady, near the Northern Prince's Mansion.

Mu Yun never expected that Sang Li would suddenly launch an attack on him. By the time he reacted, the arm Sang Li used to grip the dagger was already lunging at him, mere inches away from his body.

Gu Yanfei felt even more dizzy. Her heart beat wildly; she had been bewitched.

"It looks like a sphere-hawk. These creatures are extremely aggressive, but not very dangerous. Let's go." Jieliao had been in this place for quite a long time and had personally climbed the large trees many times, so he had some understanding of the initial problems and creatures one might encounter.

At this moment, everyone's gaze was concentrated on Qin Xuan and Xu Li. No one noticed Hua Tian nearby slowly stand up and leap onto the stage in a single stride.

Anyway, the commission was accepted. As for whether it could be completed, it depended on Jiutian's abilities. However, Jiang Dong felt it shouldn't be much of a problem, since he was a young man favored by Mr. Tao.

"Shawn, the lie you told just now was a bit too much, claiming you have a wife and a child. Do you think Uncle Ben and the others would believe that?" Peter said with a smile.

The waiter said this soup was a gift from the boss, made from giant-scaled fish, and was offered free of charge to all customers today.

Wu Xukuan frowned deeply as he looked at Zhou An, seemingly failing to understand what Zhou An meant. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "A secret ballot? What is that?" This was why he had never realized that Zhou An was digging a trap for him.

After drifting through the air for about two more minutes of travel, the passengers in the aircraft finally caught sight of a large island ahead that looked as though it had been sealed in ice.

What the official authorities did not know was that, in order to facilitate this exchange, Chen Taiyuan had also secretly promised Lin Xiling an additional condition of a thousand bags of refrigerated blood.

"Rotten little loach?" Block Four was just about to make a move, but upon hearing those words from Xiao Chen, he almost took a tumble right then and there.

After Chen Taiyuan and the others left, she immediately clapped her hands. Consequently, a man dressed in black appeared beside her, respectfully awaiting orders—the notorious Duke of Death-Ray was also one of Wu Xinying's two current personal bodyguards.

"Mayor Li, this is Mr. Kim Yosoo, the representative from Korea. He is one of the Chinese representatives for the vegetable trading company, and is currently in charge of the negotiations for the import and export of Jade Chinese Cabbages." A staff member enthusiastically introduced him to Mayor Li.

The deep ripples silently dissolved, and the spell effect neatly outlined a silhouette.

Although Feng Qing was still arguing with reason, she clearly believed Fei Fei and Qiu Wan's words to a certain extent.

Lady Mu's eyes flickered. When she left the State Duke's Mansion, she indeed ran into Luo Lou, who had come to deliver a message, but the person who invited her was not Tu Fengwu.

Tang Jiaojiao aggressively tore off the short skirt she was wearing, leaving herself in only sexy lingerie, exposing ninety percent of her body to the man before her.

Through her uncle, she learned that Chu Tianyou wanted to alter his previous cooperation intentions. However, the contract had already been signed, and the first tranche of startup capital had also arrived. She knew what giving up now would mean for Chu Tianyou.

Coupled with Su Wei's choice to leave, the emotions swirling in his head left him unable to concentrate and think clearly.

Murong Yao gave Shangguan Mao a disdainful glare, then turned back to say to Shangguan Ai, "You promised the Emperor. He is watching from the heavens." With that, she left unhurriedly with Cuiyu.
