Chapter 35: The Job Interview

As the old saying goes, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter, and time reveals the truth of the human heart. Once Gu Chunshan was arrested, those who had once fawned upon him vanished in an instant, terrified of being tainted by his misfortune.

"Sheng-sheng, Uncle Gu’s situation hasn't been finalized yet. Don't be too anxious; it’s quite possible that those above have made a mistake. Don't forget, officials are being arrested and investigated every single day—it’s inevitable that there could be misunderstandings," Zhao Qinglang urged her...

He hurried back to the manor, passing by the training grounds on the way, where he saw his troops still drilling. Xu Zheng could not help but walk over.

The Immortal Mansion is the greatest divine artifact of all time. Although it is currently in a weakened state, it is still far beyond the reach of this golden pagoda. At this moment, under the influence of the aura summoned by Xue Shisan, the golden dao patterns on the pagoda dimmed in an instant, suppressed by its power.

If such a significant matter were true, all their troubles would truly be resolved, and the Li family could walk out into the light again without having to hide.

If the other party were to actively participate, continuing to scheme and compete, it would actually put his mind more at ease.

Xu Zheng was taken aback. He had not expected Lin Yi to be so formidable, daring to humiliate Song Qi right to his face. He wanted to speak up, but Lin Yi signaled him to stop with a wave of his hand.

He first returned to the school, roused Xu Zihao from his slumber to ask for a leave of absence, and then went to the school cafeteria to buy breakfast for two before returning to Liu Mo’er’s place.

The night, which had only just settled into silence, was once again filled with suggestive murmurs and the rhythmic sound of slapping.

With a flash of sword light, no matter how profound the swordsmanship, it was like a tide crashing against a reef when it met the hoe, shattering instantly.

A five-star Dou Di—even someone as powerful as Lü Zhongtian would not dare to boast such a thing. If he were to be honest, could he have compared even half as well as this black-robed youth when he was a five-star Dou Di himself?

"Oh! Please, don't! How could I dare let you call me 'brother'? Brother Ran, are you heading to the club together?" Shao Zifeng said with a beaming smile, waving his hands.

"I don't know how much he wants. How about this: you prepare a million first, and I hope my old face will be enough to move him," Xiao Changsheng said.

As his voice faded, before Jin Qiao could erupt in rage, he channeled his inner energy and spiritual power. A vast, surging momentum rippled from his body, and the Heavenly Thunder Sword in his palm erupted with a blade of light a full ten feet long, its sword qi running wild.

Although knights are known for their strength, the disparity in their power was so vast that there was no suspense at all.

Immediately after, Yan He pressed the attack. The three of them moved like a revolving wheel, forcing Xiao Yan to retreat step by step.

After receiving this telegram from Huang Tao, Xu Tian let out a long sigh of relief. He knew that once the Youth Army was finished, Yingkou Port would be secure, and the enemy’s main force, hoping to escape by sea, would have no hope left.

The impact of the beam was immense. Even though it was blocked by the energy shield, the sheer force still sent the Dreadlord and his companions flying backward.

"Then where is that doctor you mentioned?" Song Yuhan asked excitedly, hearing how confident Ye Wudao sounded.

Li Xuan and Xu Sanpao, lying on the ground, didn't even dare to let out a sound of pain. They scrambled and crawled their way behind Ye Yu.

"This... how is this possible?" Mo Tianyan’s complacency froze in an instant. The moment his palm met the sword, he could clearly feel the power of laws emanating from the Heavenly Fortune Sword, causing him a sense of dread so profound he had never even felt it in the presence of Guan Zhongshan.

Jiang Chuan felt his old face flush and brushed it off. He thought to himself, the girl had rushed out in such a panic—surely Qi Xuan wouldn't see her and misunderstand something? Otherwise, his reputation as a Marquis who always kept himself pure and maintained a respectable character would collapse.

The twisted, bizarre trees that once grew here were all gone, leaving only the parched earth and the bare mountain walls. The crack in the cliffside remained, though Peach had not squeezed through that gap for a very long time.
