Volume 1, Chapter 56: Turning Black into White

Jiang Miao was not angry at all upon hearing this. Looking at Yan Shengyu, she sneered, "Yan Shengyu, you truly are a fool, being used by others without even realizing it. Cheng Xi possesses immense capabilities; not only did she sever Jiang Weiran's arm, but she also brought ruin to the Cheng family. Since you are on good terms with her, you had better watch your step."

"Jiang Weiran is perfidious and fickle. His life was saved by Cheng Xi's mother, so merely cutting off one arm is letting him off lightly. As for the ruin of the Cheng family, what does it have to do with Cheng Xi? It was clearly Lady Li who abused her mother-in-law, causing Old Madam Cheng to return as a vengeful ghost to settle scores. That couple simply reaped what they sowed."

Yan Shengyu was infuriated. She had never expected Jiang Miao to distort the truth and confound right from wrong to this extent...

Initially, Jiang Che was also hesitating whether to bring up this matter. After all, given the studio's current reputation, recruiting people would be quite easy.

About a quarter of an hour later, a massive horde of fierce beasts came galloping over, directly occupying the area. They stood densely packed across the firmament, completely blotting out the sky and plunging the ground below into darkness.

Realizing that Yan Ran was safe, the heavy stone in his heart finally dropped. Only then, prompted by his reminder, did he realize how overwhelmingly exhausted he was.

Erik Lehnsherr took a deep breath and secretly began to exert his power. Using extremely subtle and continuous metal manipulation, he guided the small sphere. He dared not use too much force, lest he be detected by the house and deemed to be cheating.

Mu Yan paused for a moment, watching with satisfaction as Hua Qin's face crumbled to the verge of a breakdown. Her desire for revenge grew stronger, and the smile on her face blossomed even more intensely.

If Ikki had truly killed Hyoga, then Ikki would be an absolutely unforgivable person, and would probably have to be imprisoned in the sanctuary dungeons for the rest of his life to atone for his sins.

Hua Qin nodded. Although she longed to execute them with her own hands, she felt somewhat powerless to do so. After all, despite growing up in the palace, she had never once abused or tortured the servants.

Too lazy to bother with Hou Jucai any longer, Ren Fei said coldly to Ma Fu, "Tie him up, and once the leak informants are caught, deal with them all together!" Ma Fu and the others rushed over to Hou Jucai, subdued him, and another soldier ran out to a truck to fetch a bundle of rope, binding Hou Jucai tightly.

Listening to the rushing sound of water from the bathroom, Mu Feng paced around the doorway for a moment, then pressed his left hand against the wall to sense the water pipes running inside. Forming a hand seal with his right hand, he silently chanted a spiritual incantation.

Yu Xue slowly walked away. She truly could not have imagined that Shen Jie's mindset was growing increasingly warped. In the past, when she had no children herself, she felt uncomfortable seeing others with children; and now that she was pregnant, she still could not stand to see others with children—she was simply a massive psycho.

For several days running, Xuanyuan Che never visited the Bamboo Quiet Garden again, and Sister Duo breathed a sigh of relief because of this. For some reason, on that night, Xuanyuan Che had been somewhat different from his usual self, and this difference left her harboring a faint sense of unease.

For days in a row, almost every day passed in this manner. That fellow Qian Kun was also gradually coming to the surface. As for Teacher Cang, aside from seeing him during class hours, it was practically impossible to catch a glimpse of him at any other time.

"Ah, I knew you would say that. Can we not talk about Brother Che right now? Come on, let's go out for a stroll; there is a lantern festival in Tongfu Town tonight." Princess Min dragged the newly made-up Yu Xue to her feet without giving her a choice.

Jing Yixuan merely twitched the corner of his mouth before regaining his composure. Lang Ya's expression did not change in the slightest either, and he followed faithfully by Jing Yixuan's side from beginning to end.

Laying her body flat, her consciousness not yet clear, blood began to spill from the corners of her mouth. Her fists were clenched tightly, and her face was twisted in exquisite agony.

With the backing of her maternal family, Lady Rong grew even more confident. Crown Prince, do not think that just because you are a member of the imperial family you can do whatever you please and dote on that vixen; there will come a time when you weep with regret.

Chu Mo's pitch-black gaze swept across that vaguely familiar, youthful face. He was stunned for a moment, his gaze freezing briefly before he gently nodded in acknowledgment. Though his gaze remained cold, it unexpectedly revealed a rare trace of reassuring gentleness.

Even if Yuan Hao were daring enough, this was the Northern Chen Imperial Palace; he would never dare to raise a hand against the Emperor, and the princess was his imperial consort.

Previously, she had felt that Mr. Gao was very amiable, entirely devoid of the obnoxious airs and haughty pretenses of the wealthy. Compared to Mr. Gao, Mr. Lu's character flaws were instantly exposed.

As soon as Ji Meichen gave the word, all the doctors lowered their heads. At that moment, a male doctor in his thirties walked in. His name was Miao Yu, one of the two green leaves of the internal medicine department. The other leaf was currently out on outpatient duty; it was his turn for outpatient clinics this month.

As for the fierce debate that had taken place within Wuyou Teaching, Chen Fan had not witnessed it, but he could well imagine it. He had Lei Gui and the others, who were uninjured, come out and accompany him toward Wuyou Teaching.

Her nose slammed heavily into his coldly rigid back, immediately followed by a low grunt.

She entered Du Yiming's room, and the moment she caught sight of him, her eye rims grew slightly moist. Covering her mouth in sheer disbelief, she choked out, "Older brother..." Her voice was raspy.

"Big brother." Wen Mucheng's eye rims were bloodshot, his hands clenched so tightly that his bones emitted a crisp cracking sound.

As she spoke, she used her fingernails to scratch at Hua Yuwan's arm, stroke by stroke, just like a cat's paw.

Luo Xue sensed that Long Gang was somewhat abnormal, and all her sleepiness vanished instantly. Waves of concerned glances were cast at Long Gang as if they cost nothing, leaving Long Gang feeling even more depressed.

"To get a divorce, you truly will resort to any means possible." The man's chilling voice scraped against her eardrums like the edge of a blade, as if every word he uttered were a sharp weapon being spat out.

Jiang Jun's father and Jiang Min had also returned. After sitting and chatting with Jiang Jun for a while, the meal was ready, and the family gathered around the table to eat.

Kuroki is practically a born Wood Release master. Aside from perhaps lacking the wondrous versatility of the First Hokage's Wood Release, his sheer destructive prowess is exceptionally formidable.
