Volume 1, Chapter 56: You Go See Ye Chen, But I, Mu Wanqing, Will Not Go!

Looking around, he caught the snickering and gloating glances of the surrounding disciples, which only added fuel to his inner fury.

Though the voice sounded soft and yielding on the surface, it was deeply arrogant to the core. One could tell at a single hearing that it belonged to a petty bureaucrat, naturally laden with official jargon.

Hearing Xue Ming's words, Zheng Juzhong rolled his eyes. This lazy wretch actually knew that Lord Cai had already explained the pros and cons in great detail, so why on earth did he still have to step forward?

Fine, he was dead set on loving and leaving. O_Mute, big brother could only help you up to this point.

The gazes of the three shifted between the vibrant, life-filled seed and the static, glowing green liquid, sensing some kind of inextricable connection between the two.

Witnessing all this, Sima Zhaoyang was hopping mad with rage, smoke virtually venting from his seven orifices. Had Ouyang Yan not blocked his path, he would have had ample time to rescue the deputy commander.

"Nian, come with me... The fireworks are about to start, and I know a great spot. Let's go watch them over there," Hal said with a smile.

"You people understand nothing! Everything I have done is entirely for the Sun family!" Far from admitting his mistake upon hearing Sun Fangjin's reproaches, Sun Butong instead boasted that he alone could bring glory and prosperity to the clan.

"Hmph! We've been waiting for you!" Blood Soul let out a vicious, cold snort, channeling his true Qi to the absolute limit. Pressing his palm against Gu Xinghun's back, he poured his own formidable power directly into Gu Xinghun's body.

Ding Ya had just finished preparing dinner and stepped out into the courtyard to call her father and Li Huai in to eat, only to be met immediately by the terrifying scene unfolding before her eyes.

Damn that cameraman, what kind of posture was this supposed to be! Ceng Yutong, of all times, actually found herself blushing.

Someone immediately recognized that the photo had been taken just ten minutes prior, capturing the exact moment when Chen Ge and Ceng Yutong stepped through the door. At the time, quite a few people had rushed out, crowding the corridor to witness them enter with their own eyes.

Seeing that his palm was unharmed, Ye Feng couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief, though his brows instantly furrowed again. Confronting Ding Chunqiu bare-handed, whose entire body was steeped in deadly venom, still put him at a disadvantage.

As the stalemate dragged on, Madame Wang stubbornly refused to yield or admit defeat, leaving Ye Feng with no choice but to continue. In the end, as the beating went on, his mind was reduced to nothing more than the mechanical motion of striking Madame Wang's backside.

"Ye Kaicheng." After tossing and turning on the bed for a short while, Xu Zuoyan rolled over, reached out to poke Ye Kaicheng, and called out softly.

Hearing Dongfang Fengfei's words, the Second Madam hurriedly changed her tune. Though Dongfang Fengfei wore a full smile, that very expression sent a chilling shiver through the Second Madam's heart and made her scalp tingle with dread.

Therefore, unless there was a level of absolute trust strong enough to entrust one's life to, why would Aliem let a third party in on something as crucial as the exact time of his departure from the dense forest?

"M-Mom, I can finally do something for, for Brother Kai. I'm, I'm so happy," Zhong Yuhan said to Madam Zhong, leaning against Ye Kaicheng's chest. Her fragile appearance was enough to evoke deep pity in anyone who looked at her.

Although carelessness played a part in this, the piercing sword intent and overwhelming momentum were unmistakably genuine. It was just like facing the Sword Saint all those years ago, and involuntary ripples of fear stirred within the Child Emperor's heart. Had it not been for the sake of his pride, he would have instantly issued an order to flee on the spot.

No matter how profound his reluctance, the rules of the tripartite alliance had been observed for a century, and the State of Wei was simply unprepared to shatter those conventions and make enemies of the other two nations.

None of them had expected Qi Zhengyun to crawl out from inside the coffin. Even Zhao Fengyao had considered the possibility of a millennia-old corpse-demon emerging, yet Qi Zhengyun was the last person he anticipated.

Lin Chen nodded, then forced his heavily injured frame to hoist Su San onto his back, only to discover that Su San had actually passed out—likely knocked unconscious moments ago by Wuchi Qiong's internal energy shockwave.
