Volume 1, Chapter 64: Steady as an Old Dog

In truth, Jiang Luo was the one who genuinely believed Jiang Chenyu would find it in her heart to take pity on them and come to their rescue.

After all, every time he and Jiang Chenyu had fallen out in the past, she had always been the one to take the initiative to seek reconciliation.

Without exception, every single time, which was why he felt so confident.

Yet, on the surface, he still put on an attitude of complete indifference. "She won't even acknowledge her own biological mother, so what else could you possibly expect from her?"

Finally, the three Divine Monarchs within the courtyard successfully made their respective breakthroughs. One of them managed to advance to the True Dao realm, while the other two perilously stepped into the Pseudo Dao tier. Jun Yixiao covertly put away the Wall of Eons, and the miraculous power and various strange phenomena that had filled the courtyard were instantly swept away.

This was nothing short of a massacre, primarily because the gap in strength between the two sides was simply too vast. Given Meng Changsheng's current prowess, even top-tier experts could not last more than a few rounds against him; it was no exaggeration to call him the foremost figure beneath the realm of cultivators. Against him, none of these people could even withstand a single sword strike from Meng Changsheng.

Upon seeing this, Fan Yanyan instantly felt that something was amiss. Could two people who frequently traded business really be unaware of their usual transaction amounts? Such a deliberate reminder actually felt rather unnatural. Could it be a test? Besides, where was she supposed to easily obtain one million in cash? Could there possibly be that much cash lying around in this villa?

Bao Xuefeng wore a bewildered expression. Although he was not acquainted with Gu Fei, a single glance was enough to tell him that this Gu Fei was a notoriously slippery trickster, and heaven only knew what kind of schemes he was up to this time.

Little Scruffy's reaction was different this time. Looking somewhat greedy yet simultaneously afraid, it kept a rather distant distance. A beast core contained the aura of a fierce beast, which lacked the gentle purity of a soul crystal. The high-level aura of its own kind scared it quite badly.

Originally, given the extent of the damage to Xiao Jian's bloodline, it would have taken him at least a dozen years of arduous effort to even stand a chance of restoring his imperial weapon bloodline.

"What? Leave Hangzhou and head to the capital tomorrow!" Zhao Aobao's expression shifted drastically, a wave of inexplicable panic welling up inside him as his composure faltered.

Wu Gui shook his head with a solemn expression, his gaze locked fixedly on the sky above Jinshan Temple. Sometimes, a quiet lull did not signify the end of a matter; on the contrary, a brief silence and stillness often heralded the approach of an even greater storm.

She first looked around anxiously in all directions, and after making certain there was no one in the vicinity, she tiptoed her way further inside.

"Given that it's this time of year, everyone needs to unwind and relax every now and then, right?" I said to her with a smile.

Cao Ting accommodated her, doting on her and willing to pour one hundred percent of the love she had for her own biological son into Li Jinger. Yet, in Cao Ge's eyes, all of this seemed purposeful, while to Li Jinger, it carried a very peculiar sensation—one that was both familiar and strange.

During his days in South Carolina since his arrival, the Prince had taken over virtually all responsibilities. Of course, this was strictly limited to security operations. Although Li Ruifo served as the acting mayor, his hands were tied by far too many constraints, and there were even matters he could not immediately take charge of.

Having successfully executed her scheme, Yun Piaoying pursued the matter further: "Could it be that Uncle Huang never searched for your family? Perhaps they are looking for you as well." She led Huang He further into the trap step by step, while Huang He remained completely oblivious to Yun Piaoying's deeper intentions at the moment.

Qi Lenghan said to Shen Zhangtian, "Third brother, you provide precision shots, I'll wield the blade." Qi Lenghan stepped forward, his right hand sweeping through the air, and several snakes instantly lost their heads. These bizarre serpents moved somewhat stiffly, likely due to the bitter cold of the place. Since snakes were cold-blooded creatures by nature, they rarely ventured out to move about under low temperatures.

Having been here for quite some time, she actually longed to head up the mountain for a stroll and a look around, but this was a rare, peaceful moment of togetherness for her eldest brother and future sister-in-law, and she knew better than to rudely intrude upon it.

After all, with such a large crowd of Death Eaters present, all dressed in black robes and cowls, no one could dare guarantee whether some seemingly unremarkable Death Eater might actually be Voldemort in disguise.
