The two men behind Grandmaster Lanxing hurried forward as well. However, their cultivation at the twenty-ninth level of spiritual power was now utterly insignificant in Su Tianheng’s eyes.

These gazes came from the depths of the sky, from the Netherworld below, and even from the nearby City God Temple, the blessed cavern of Oxback Mountain, and beyond the Ninth Heaven. Even the Heavenly Dao, unmoving and eternal as the sun and moon, cast down a curious glance. You Bifang could not help but burst into laughter before waving away the celestial omens.

“To have caused such a tremendous controversy—by the rules of the Fu family, he naturally cannot survive,” Fu Yuxiu suddenly said, turning toward Fu Yuheng.

Mo Xiao glanced at the watch on his wrist. He had waited all day, yet still no one had emerged. It was probably about time.

“That’s because there is an even more powerful menace inside Nine Dragon Mountain, something far beyond comparison with a flood dragon. Even a flood dragon would show the utmost respect upon seeing this one.”

They were, of course, his three roommates and Su Qingyu. The other was Huo Siyuan, another genius disciple of their generation. She was a breathtaking beauty as well. Though not as voluptuous as Su Qingyu, her limpid, delicate appearance bore a slight resemblance to Zhang Miaomiao.

In other words, the unfinished undertaking of the third ruler of the Islier Empire had been completed by Alexander the Great. On the so-called world stage, the two could be regarded as half-brothers born of different fathers and mothers, with the younger succeeding the elder.

The tip of the scepter pointed at the old man, who still held his neck stiff and showed not the slightest trace of fear. A brilliant beam of energy shot from the front of the scepter.

At first, he had merely wanted to find something to occupy himself with, so that his journey through the cosmos would not become too dull. But this time, Thor truly felt that he had to find that fellow and question him properly.

As he passed an herbal shop, he suddenly remembered the soapberry hair-restoring tonic he had bought for Lingzhi last time. Zhou Mengyuan went inside, praising the physician’s prescription and describing how effective it had been and what changes it had brought after use. He hoped to have some traditional medicine prepared as well, to restore her health from within.

Lan Yi returned to her residence, weighed down by worry. She lingered outside for a long while, unable to push open Shuying’s door. Faced with Shuying’s heartbroken state, Lan Yi truly could not bring herself to do it, nor did she know how to speak to her. If the Second Prince had ordered her to persuade Shuying to leave at this moment, would that not be driving her onto a dead end?

“I can’t tell you. If I revealed their true identities, my fate would be worse than becoming a zombie.” Liu Dawei’s eyes darted about in terror, his teeth chattering so violently that they produced a clicking sound.

In that fleeting instant, he made a ruthless decision. He severed his left leg with his true energy and fled.

Outside the door stood a large Land Rover. Every window had been smashed, and even the tires had been punctured.

“I know no one can force you to go on a trip, but all I can say is that if you take part in this one, what you gain will far exceed what you give.”

In the cold, dim stone cell, it lay there quietly and contentedly. Heyu approached the bars. For the first time, he felt an urge to reach out and touch it.

“Forget it. I won’t say anything more. You can figure out the rest yourself.” After saying this, Sun Wei actually turned and left without looking back.

Moreover, the central authority’s resolve was extremely firm in maintaining independence and self-reliance. After the Fokker Company was acquired by Huaxing Group, it signed a cooperation agreement with COMAC Group, which would provide technical support from design through after-sales service.

Yet after she stopped speaking, several somewhat aged faces slowly approached from the side.

“Gifts and all that… I…” She truly felt nervous. She had realized that Miao Chenmo took their relationship far more seriously than she had imagined.

Although Lin Yi’s side had the advantage in numbers, these estate servants were not afraid. Like Wu Song, they were not important figures at the manor, had never met Lin Chong, and failed to recognize him.

Yueyue furrowed her brows and said, “Tan Hao has feelings for me too, and he’s known me longer than you have. You didn’t kill him either. That Holder fellow isn’t nearly as familiar with me as Tan Hao is.”

After ordering the food, I excused myself to use the restroom and called Lu Xudong. I told him that I was out shopping with friends and would be eating out that evening, so he should have dinner at the old residence.

Gu Xixi thought that his return might be Heaven granting her, Gu Xixi, one chance to regret her decision. If she failed to seize it this time, she might never have another opportunity.

As Li Fan said this, a teasing expression appeared on his face. The White Tiger responded with a furious roar, sending a rush of foul, bloody wind into Li Fan’s face. Clearly, it was not pleased by what Li Fan had said.

Looking back now, Su Xia still thought that if Gu Dongjue had not stepped in to help that night, neither she nor Gu’s mother would have been able to save face. Perhaps their relationship would not have become as harmonious as it was now.

Li Liang, of course, knew nothing about this. He remained focused on organizing and coordinating everything.

But no matter how unwilling she was, Su Xia could not remain in the restroom forever. After all, she knew that Mr. Gu was not exactly a patient man.

She had a graceful, supple figure and skin as white as frost and snow. Her luxuriant hair fell like a waterfall, while her beautiful eyes seemed both affectionate and indifferent. Her red lips curved with a captivating allure.

Laughter and merriment filled the place, mingling with the fragrance of fine clothes and the gleam of elegant coiffures. Everyone who came was radiant, impeccably dressed, and possessed of extraordinary bearing.

“Waiter, bring out the dishes—the ones I ordered earlier!” Li Huo’er gently pushed Cheng Mengjiao aside and instructed the waiter.

“What do you think?” Yu Songyuan knew that the meticulous Liu Guodong must already have a well-developed plan, so he asked.

Throughout it all, he never let go of the watch that belonged to Su Jinse. He lowered his head and looked at the timepiece in his hand. Its plastic strap was badly worn and somewhat shabby.

Shang Qi looked at Luo Yichen in surprise. She had not expected him to make such detailed arrangements for her. Thinking back carefully, she realized that she truly owed much of her success in the workplace over the past few years to Luo Yichen’s guidance. Whenever she was responsible for a task, Luo Yichen would remind her in seemingly casual ways.

As he spoke, Tang Feng picked up four boxes of proprietary Chinese medicine from the table: Sugar-Clearing Pills No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4. These four medicines belonged to the same series and had been developed for different types of diabetes.

Zhuang Hu knew perfectly well that Mo Wanying was the true mastermind behind the arson. Yet without conclusive evidence, he could only feign civility and spar with her for a while. From then on, nothing else ever happened at the restaurant.

Shiqi was traveling with her husband, which gave her an overwhelming sense of security. Even if a lion approached her, she probably would not panic. In her heart, her husband was capable of anything.

How could Guan Feifei know her mother? She had already left Yan Jue, so could it be that she was still not satisfied? The moment Su Jinse thought of how Guan Feifei had framed her mother for theft out of selfish motives, an inexplicable anger rose within her.
