Chapter 91: A Snowy Day
Lu Qingfei knew that Jiang Heng would find his way to her sooner or later. After all, she really had once gone by the name Ming Kui, though she had not expected him to uncover it so quickly.
Lu Qingfei kept her expression unreadable and turned to look at Jiang Heng with unruffled calm. The instant she turned, the streetlamps on both sides of the road lit up one after another, their soft white glow gathering into clusters that stretched along the highway to the far left and right, while behind her the sky was a heavy, brooding wash of ink blue and deep orange.
Jiang Heng curved his lips faintly, watching her with leisurely composure.
Go tell Prince Chen and have him prepare ahead of time? Never mind whether Prince Chen would even receive him; even if he did and heard all this, what could he do? Could he really shield him as a witness?
The Qiangqu had already inferred the general’s fate from the movements of the imperial troops. If they were merely dragging away a corpse, those soldiers would never have gone so far; they were searching for the general’s trail. In other words, the general was not in danger for the moment.
As for what had truly happened between the two of them, she had no way of knowing. If she carelessly said something that sounded like a reunion, it could easily cost her life.
Driven beyond endurance, and furious to the core, the pork seller’s wife simply seized a kitchen knife, pulled Zhang Qixuan’s finger over, and brought it down in one clean stroke.
No. If Suli learned of this, he would likely join forces with the Kebineng tribe and attack him, not send an envoy.
“As far as I know, this is already the deepest distance human beings can reach in the world. If that still doesn’t work, we’ll have no choice but to find a large crew and dig it out ourselves!” Zhou Yiyan said with a shake of his head, looking thoroughly helpless.
Seeing this, Captain Song could not help secretly guessing who the soul awakened within Li Dong really was, and why it pressed down on him with such overwhelming force.
By the time Pu Yang said this to Pu Wei over the phone, Pu Wei herself had already seen the result at the bottom of the paternity test report.
It was precisely because he had some confidence in breaking the formation, together with that inexplicable sensation, that he had made the risky decision to try his luck.
But if they were to say it outright and ask Gao Mengsheng to send his direct subordinates to do this, they were too intimidated by Gao Mengsheng’s authority to speak up.
He silently followed the instructions and directly dialed Tang Nian’s mobile phone on the other side of the ocean.
This once again made him feel the distance between himself and Sun Shan, and, even more, the gap in willpower that Sun Shan had spoken of.
Even the reserve players in this league were stronger and held a higher standing than those low-drafted rookies and benchwarmers.
For the great powers, the people truly capable of competing for the treasure deepest inside were in fact only the most outstanding disciples of the major sects.
As for the current state of the Great Sui Empire, people like them, from constable families, knew it better than anyone else.
Xue Chen knew that, given Lu Yao’s status, they should do their utmost to provide whatever tribe she wanted; as for a guardian beast, that went without saying.
No one knew how many unspeakable things he had done for the main branch, or how much wealth he had seized.
The old man looked Qin Xuan over with some surprise. For some reason, the very first glance had given him an exceedingly dangerous feeling.
At once, he knitted his brows, vexation rising in him. He and Tang Xin had met on a talent show, and these people were really something; their imaginations were far too vivid.
After thinking it over, she decided to call the Ruan family back first. The current head of the Ruan family was the eldest son, Ruan Feng, and he had the greatest authority when it came to speaking for them, so she called him.
“Honestly, it’s been nothing but bad luck. Some drunk man bumped into me, and what made me even angrier was this: is Brother Ling Yang made of wood? He actually didn’t stop me, letting me make a fool of myself in front of so many people. Don’t even bring it up—I feel embarrassed just thinking about it,” An Luoyu complained.
Hearing him say that all of a sudden, Ouyang Rou was still completely baffled, but in Tianchuan Zhenzi’s eyes, a flash of sharp light flickered and vanished.
“Yes, yes.” Wang Feng took the bighead carp and found that Murong Xue had eaten all the flesh from its belly, leaving only the meat from the head, tail, and back.
