Chapter 47 Trouble Makers Arrive

Yun Liu had just been driven out to welcome guests by Mother Xu when she happened to overhear Lady Gu's remarks. She immediately chimed in, "The head of the household explicitly stated that our Zhao Zhao is being raised as a son. Even in his absence, Zhao Zhao has the full authority to make decisions on behalf of the General's Estate."

"She did so in the past, and she will continue to do so in the future. Even when Yi'er grows up and starts a family of his own later on, Zhao Zhao shall still remain the master of the General's Estate!"

The female guests present were instantly filled with a mixture of envy and jealousy.

"Congratulations, in-law, congratulations."

Lady Liang glared at [the person who was about to speak further]...

"Negotiating the cession of territory with your esteemed country, and doing so merely to salvage the future of the Habsburg dynasty, is hardly a delightful prospect for many. Consequently, this task ultimately falls upon my shoulders." Baron Balboa did not mince words whatsoever, speaking with utter candor.

"Regardless, we must at least give it a try. If Galdan is not dealt with soon, those Han factions at court will likely grow even more arrogant, which would be terribly unfavorable." Songgotu finally made up his mind in secret.

Shielded by the dark tint of the car windows, Lin Chao had no fear that Chu Shanhe and the others might see the scene inside the vehicle. A flash crossed his eyes, and the surrounding light refracted and shifted. Had Chu Shanhe and the others been seated inside, they would have been horrified to discover that the driver's seat was completely empty, with only the steering wheel spinning continuously.

On the twenty-fourth day of the fifth month in the third year of Guangshun, Yang Xin, the Prefect of Linzhou in Northern Han, raised a new banner atop the city walls, announcing to the realm his defection from Northern Han to pledge allegiance to the Zhou House of Bianliang. On the twenty-fifth of May, Zhe De, the Military Commissioner of the Later Zhou Yong'an Army, arrived at Linzhou with three thousand infantry and cavalry, uniting the forces of the Zhe and Yang families.

Recalling Will's explanation that the device's objective was to connect to another universe and thereby open a wormhole leading to that realm, a shudder involuntarily ran through the hearts of those present.

Yet, Murong Qingran felt no profound emotional ripples. She understood Luo Xiaoyue's mindset better than anyone else, but her heart simply no longer had room for him. Remaining friends was already the best possible outcome.

The middle-aged man from the West and Mi Si, along with several other Divine Desolation Guards, noticed the latent hostility lurking between Lin Chao's brows and dared not say another word. They pulled Jin Yue along and turned to leave.

If two Tier 3 ability users performed an ability resonance, they could even elevate the basic intensity of their abilities to approach that of a Tier 4. The only flaw was that in terms of profound mastery and versatility, it fell short of the flexibility of a genuine Tier 4 ability, yet it still constituted a terrifyingly formidable tactic.

Lin Chao breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that it was not a super-sized monster, a hint of joy welling up in his heart. With a single thought, his full-body enhancement activated abruptly.

The directive ordering Yue Fei to halt the sluggish negotiations and swiftly capture Quanzhou was already flying across the roads on the backs of galloping steeds.

"You've just gotten married, where did all that money come from? Take your time, our family is not short of cash. You've worked with Zhang Chu for many years, haven't you?" Su Qingni wasn't doing this for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands; she had even borrowed money from Heizi initially, and only later lent money to him because of his wedding.

Within the Land of Wolf Shamans, the previously empty camp of the Black Fiend Team suddenly welcomed nearly a hundred "uninvited guests."

"Eat this, you giant earthworm!" Gu Cheng rushed forward and let loose a barrage of gunfire, only to find that the giant venomous snake, mutated and eroded by the T-virus, possessed far more than just an enlarged body—its scales had also grown exceptionally tough. A continuous string of bullets failed to even break its skin.

Viewed from the outside, this place resembled a traditional courtyard quadrangle, though a towering skyscraper stood tucked away behind it.

Unless they managed to conquer the entire continent, subsequently applied these technologies to everyone, and then faced a rebellion wherein the rebel forces seized their core technology.

In fact, while Gao Zheng was engaged in combat with the Azure Scorpion assassin, the elderly assassin had been observing from the shadows. Judging by his discerning eye, Gao Zheng's strength was presumably at the peak of the Great Realm.

Having comforted Yuan Hou, whose body remained weak, Risun Dongfang withdrew from the room. He currently had numerous ideas to verify with the novice village NPCs and his fellow novice village team members.

Right in front of her suitors, he acted so intimate with me. I felt terribly embarrassed, though honestly, I was quite happy inside.

Wang Shihua was lying in bed, perusing an ancient text filled with strange symbols, human postures, and expressions drawn upon the weathered paper.

Qu Qingyou's breathing instantly became disordered. At the time, she had clearly shielded Dong Yan'er and dodged the spider silk hurtling straight at her face, but she had failed to watch her footing. Now, while she herself remained completely unharmed, Dong Yan'er had fallen victim to demonic poison—a heavy blow to Qu Qingyou indeed.

The Dragon Fist mobilized its army, preparing to launch an offensive against the Xinye forces, but the Xinye Empire was far from unprepared. Ever since assuming the throne, Xin Ao had spent this period dealing with various affairs between the monarch and his ministers, as the ministers of the Xinye Empire had initially envisioned either Xin Ba or Xin Kuang as their sovereign.

She might as well honestly stick to this job; if she were to lose even this nanny position, she would truly be left with nothing to survive on.

Standing outside were several burly men, uniformly dressed in black suits and dark sunglasses. They were operatives of Night Wish.

"There are Yunze's informants on our side. You wouldn't want to lose your job over this, would you?" Yunze was busy with work, which was presumably why Tong Guiguai had not gone upstairs; she had made a special trip to the upper floors just to inquire about this matter.

I couldn't help wondering what kind of desperate person would want to take Maomao's life, and the child's as well. Nobody knew we came to the hospital, did they? Could it be that we drew too much attention and got targeted?

Pai Yu hoisted a stool and hurled it straight at me. Dodging to the side, he seized the opportunity to bolt out the door. I watched Pai Yu's retreating figure and smiled faintly.

"Hahaha! All of you are far too terrified of their so-called Sky Team. In My eyes, they are nothing special. Rest assured, I have my own methods to deal with them," Xin Ao laughed heartily.

"It seems your true essence has mostly recovered," Zhang Fan remarked to Leng Ao inside an inn. Ever since setting out in his company, Zhang Fan had been remaining by Leng Ao's side, waiting for him to restore his true essence.

Not only Gufang, but even Xie Yuxiang and Meng Wuhen, who had just ascended to the Shengtian rank, were stunned. They stared in disbelief at Huan Lingyue before them, clad in plain attire and wearing a silver mask.

Behind him sat Wang Duoyang, whose face was pale. From that previous blow, he had felt a stifling pressure in his chest, which took quite a while to subside. He boarded the helicopter with some difficulty before sitting face-to-face with Chen You.

She had originally intended to go out and greet them, but upon hearing them mention her, she paused her steps, curious to hear how he viewed her.

He was remarkably low-profile, having even changed his car to a poised and dignified model. Nanxi smoothed down her wind-blown hair. She intended to have a proper conversation with him anyway; whether she was to stay or leave required some closure. With that thought, she strode forward.
