Chapter 50: Even More Aggravating

The next day, after Cheng Xi finished breakfast, Yan Shengyu came to pick her up.

The two of them entered the palace together, and the palace attendants guided them directly to the polo field.

Zhao Qingchan walked up to the window and looked down at the crowd below. The naive fairy also slowly walked over, casting a curious glance at the bustling scene beneath them.

On both sides of the Tongtian River entrance, there were numerous military and civilian ports, heavily guarded by a massive force of the Yuan Dynasty navy.

Right under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the five spiritual officials simultaneously raised their ritual whips and chanted the "Purification Altar Mantra."

Initially, Ye Yu intended to continue chatting idly with Li Xunhuan, since there was no responsibility to bear anyway.

"Asking me for help is one thing, but you even want me to come up with a solution for you? Let's just muddle through the immediate crisis first!" said Baldy Li.

"You can't put it that way. Business is business and personal is personal. Some matters still need to be clearly distinguished, don't you think?" Chu Chen said with a chuckle.

After a full couple of quarters of an hour, the culprit let out a reluctant roar, collapsed heavily to the ground with fading strength, gasping for the very last breath of life, wondering if there was any lingering attachment to this world.

The vast majority of martial artists in the pugilistic world would come here, either serving as bodyguards for the wealthy or seeking out the rich to "rob the-rich and aid the poor."

It was precisely because the general manager of the philatelic company considered this factor that he dared to guarantee publicly that everyone would be able to buy stamps.

Once she left, given the old lady's advanced age, coupled with the gentle and yielding tempers of Madam Shen and the aunt, it was quite likely that she would be expected to help manage the household affairs.

Consequently, Zhou Qi's identity underwent a sudden transformation, becoming an expatriate expert from the Zhengda Group partnering with the Feng family, soon to participate in the clinical trials of the new drug.

In the afternoon, with the tacit consent of both families, Taishi Ci was given the opportunity to spend some time alone with Cui Yuan'er.

It was unclear how many people were in there, but she knew that everyone inside was trying to curry favor with that person, and she had even seen those with unyielding integrity.

This statement was indeed true, serving as a rather comforting thought for everyone. The fiends encountered previously, without exception, once their magical powers were stripped away and their glorious identities cast aside, were actually nothing more than mentally deranged individuals whose intelligence and emotional quotients fell far below the horizon.

That sphere of light spoke: "My original surname is Chen, and my given name is Hao. I am an elder of the Minshan Sect. Another elder in the sect was originally a close friend of mine, but unexpectedly, he coveted a treasure of mine and conspired with others to plot against me, launching a sudden sneak attack while I was out on business."

The ancestor of the Xi family sighed deeply. Had he not devoted himself entirely to cultivation and only occasionally stepped out to manage the clan, the Xi family's atmosphere would not be what it is today, nor would it have driven Xi Qianye to the point of breaking away from the clan.

A black tentacle suddenly burst forth from beneath the ground. The Ghost Eagle thought he had already escaped and paid no attention to his surroundings; the sudden appearance of the tentacle pierced straight through his chest.

Why? Why couldn't the tears stop falling? Was it because he was too excited?

Only a series of ringing sword cries could be heard. The four flying swords pierced forward in rapid succession, yet how could they possibly scratch the magical seashell even in the slightest? In the blink of an eye, the two of them vanished into the cave entrance.

The tomb of Princess Jiurong did not originally belong to the Jialing Imperial Tombs, but merely bordered it. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, the pine forest between the two tomb complexes was cut down, and the outer wall of the mausoleum was rebuilt to incorporate the princess's tomb into the Jialing complex.

One of the hunters was not actually certain whether Xuan Wuji could escape, but his fraternal bond with Xuan Youwei definitely outweighed his regard for Xuan Wuji, so he had no choice but to lie.

Now that Murong Xue had been demoted in rank, she naturally could no longer reside in the Qiyue Palace and had no choice but to move into the courtyard where Murong Qianqian used to live.
