Chapter 49

Jiang Se was still lost in her shock and had not yet recovered her senses. To think that Gu Qingcheng's parents actually lived in a villa.

Reflecting on this pitiful body, it was precisely because of her cowardice that she had been controlled by others at every turn. She was a top-tier defense attorney from the twenty-first century, always commanding respect. Having arrived in ancient times, how could she possibly have any reason to be trampled upon and bullied?

"No, I am fine!" Zhang Lei's words were not a falsehood. After all, a Saint-tier powerhouse had just stepped in to help treat him. For him, this could truly be considered a blessing in disguise.

Feng Xie sneered. Did they think it would be that easy to injure him? Instead of retreating, he advanced. Yet Ah Mo suddenly leaped back several paces.

To avoid any waste, Yang Lan'er immediately crossed her legs and began to cultivate in her soul form, absorbing all the floating spiritual power into her own body.

Mo Shang and Zhi Lei, leading a group of apprentices, took their places. They waited for the guests to lie down and, following the steps of a beauty treatment, commenced the facial care.

"Understood!" Yan Xing responded, shedding his previous tension and trying his utmost to steady himself.

"Do not drive the carriage, I am going to see the Second Princess!" Murong Xue interrupted him hastily. Having just arrived in the Western Liang Kingdom, how had she managed to provoke the Second Princess? Since Ouyang Shaochen appeared unwilling to elaborate, she would go and ask the Second Princess herself.

The hand with which Yue Xuanji gripped the hilt of his sword tightened involuntarily until the sound of shifting bones could faintly be heard. Prominent blue veins bulged across the snow-white back of his hand.

Previously, while on the first floor, he had once believed that an AK-47 would be terribly expensive, costing at least half a million or so.

"When Director Lu's body was discovered, he was sitting right behind his office desk, slumped over the surface. His eyes were wide open, one hand clutching tightly at his chest while the other still grasped his cell phone. It seemed he had wanted to make an emergency call, but before he could dial out, Director Lu passed away," Ning Yanran introduced.

She could not help but instinctively shield her hands. The warmth of the banquet was gone, yet Xue Momo gradually grew sober, the previously uncontrollable agitation now subsiding into calm.

Qin Tian closed his eyes slightly, sensing carefully for a moment before wrapping the medicinal pills in primordial Qi and retrieving them all.

The other three academy heads also knew that Li Zhengchang must have used his own cultivation to pry into the heavenly will, though he could not casually divulge it. Yet judging by his expression, it was extremely grave, and the situation did not look promising. However, this was not something they needed to worry about at present; given their level of cultivation, they were simply not qualified.

Three days later, when a thunderous roar echoed from the east, the people of Qincheng could no longer remain calm. That very day, the eastern sky was swallowed by a wash of purple, and all the primordial beasts within the forests grew restless. For a full day, no fewer than three beast tides erupted. The manifestation of such a heavenly anomaly could only mean either a natural disaster or the birth of some peerless treasure.

Shooting a pictorial should not require many people; even if there were a lot, there would only be twenty or thirty at most.

Ye Wanxi accompanied Sima Changli as he lay on the bed. Having long since lost all sleep, she looked upon Sima Changli's sculpture-like face, feeling an even greater surge of excitement now.

"Abominable, my true strength had not yet been fully unleashed before you won through despicable means." Yun Lin immediately rubbed her eyes, her acting skills reaching peak perfection.

In truth, the person feeling least able to laugh or cry at this moment was not these guards, but Gu Fan, who was assumed to be reveling in the fragrance of beauties.

"Ziye, I'm sorry, I really have matters to attend to." Tu Baobao said to Yin Ziye with a troubled expression. If the person holding her back right now hadn't been her first love, hadn't been the Yin Ziye who had always helped her, Tu Baobao would definitely have given the guy a huge slap across the face and knocked him flat. How could she possibly be exchanging nonsense with him?

Xu Yaran's hands were always ice-cold, even when she wasn't chilly. To make matters worse, whenever summer arrived, her palms would perpetually sweat; a single wipe would leave them feeling sticky and greasy, nothing like Tu Baobao, whose hands remained delightfully warm even in winter.

"Yielding and accommodating can govern the realm, but it cannot conquer the realm," Ji Chang said word by word, speaking at an extremely deliberate pace with a solemn expression.

"What are you thinking about again?" Seeing Gu Fan bow his head with a gaze burning like torches, seemingly deep in contemplation, Xue Wuming could not help asking.

Just as the man and the dog were still cheering, they heard a knock on the door outside. Needless to say, it had to be Yun Ze.

Money that was plundered was spent without a single pang of heartache. Zhan Xiu sighed inwardly while taking a blissful sip of wine.

Many disciples had been slain and fallen to the ground, while countless others were still swinging their blades at their own comrades.

Xu Yaran withdrew a name card from her handbag and handed it to the manager. The manager accepted it, gave it a look, and was petrified for a moment.

"Ruoli's life is in my hands. What do you think I mean?" The implication was crystal clear.

At this point, Qi Yuan had no further doubts. With so many founding masters of the Purple Heaven Palace coming out together to welcome him, if this person wasn't Ancestor Jiang, then who else could it be?

Ruoli glanced up at the sky. Sure enough, fat raindrops as large as beans came pelting down without warning, and she lifted her skirts and sprinted inside.

The reason she had continuously conceded earlier was because she had wagered that this bloody monk would definitely participate in this Lingyun Assembly! Never had she imagined that the bloody monk would actually utter such words.

The stall owner took the brocade box from Jiang Yu's hands and inspected the monster core inside. Confirming there were no issues, he finally closed the brocade box.

"Gong Ze, do not rely on your cultivation being higher than ours to act recklessly. You know very well that while I fear you, it does not mean others will fear you. You might just be biting off more than you can chew," Zhu Fei said with a dark face and a cold tone.

"Yi'er, your eyes are just as beautiful and clear as your mother's. Look, half of you resembles me, and the other half resembles your mother. Doesn't that prove that I am your father? Be a good girl, call me Imperial Father." Mo Yu Jingchen continued to coax her coaxingly.

Following these past few days of observation, she had already secretly contacted Mu Yuan, instructing him to keep a close eye on Consort Yun's situation on the day of the grand wedding. Because she knew Long Yuze would definitely bring the snow lotus for Consort Yun, Mu Yuan should have already obtained the snow lotus by now.

"Damn it, I told you to go take care of business, why did you kill so many people!" Dagang panicked as well. He truly had not expected Bald Wang to commit the act of slaughtering the innocent.

It wouldn't matter even if he was discovered; after all, they hadn't established any deep friendship yet, so at least no one would come to disturb him.
