After receiving the report, Gu Liang merely nodded. He paid little attention to the changes in his surroundings, turning his focus elsewhere instead.

Chu Hanwei’s wedding was fairly grand. Regardless of whether the Jing’an Marquis’s residence had fallen into decline, even a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Besides familiar relatives and friends, there were still plenty of people eager to curry favor by calling on the family. In any case, the wedding had been celebrated with considerable bustle.

Tusheng was moved when he heard this. “These people may be lazy, but they have good hearts.” He took the wine and drained it in one gulp.

I couldn’t tell him that Qiu Mingyu was fighting below, and for a moment I didn’t know what to say.

Besides, he mysteriously claimed that he had another good thing and told Chen Shuiyu to bring as much money as possible.

It turned out that Li Shimin had merely skimmed through the first two installments. Just as he was about to read the third, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling arrived, delaying him.

“A-Jiao!” Qu Hong “timely” shouted down Qu Tianjiao, preventing her from continuing. But even without her saying it, everyone understood what she meant.

Therefore, by tonight at the latest, she had to abduct enough children and leave Baocheng with them under cover of darkness. Otherwise, by tomorrow morning at the latest, the police should be able to trace the case back to her.

Zhang Qiang glanced at the Monkey and said, “Monkey, what belongs to you is yours. Hiding from it won’t help. The kindness in this world has never meant that you can simply evade evil.”

In the eyes of the Double-Pupiled One, the battle spear was still flying far too slowly. Yet the force it unleashed upon landing made the One-Legged Golden-Furred Lion and the Flower Snake’s expressions change.

Under the tense gazes of the crowd, the Kunlun Divine Palace suddenly erupted with light. The first to enter, Venerable Phantom Annihilation, summoned a Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram, seemingly isolating himself in another world. Sword qi surged and rippled beyond his divine art, yet he remained completely unharmed.

In the courtyard before the main hall, countless people stared in terror at the enormous mushroom cloud rising into the sky from the rear mountain.

Even the spot on her face where that old third man had touched her seemed to be contaminated by something filthy, sticky and greasy, making her wish she could peel away a layer of skin.

This showed just how cunning the old fox was. With only a few words, he left Qin Qing and Cai Xinyang utterly speechless.

I had gone completely mad. With the glass bottle in my hand, I casually struck it, and it sliced straight down my arm.

Chen Mohan’s legs had improved somewhat, so she no longer walked with such difficulty. She went straight to the sofa in the living room and sat down.

It was as though Yaze could see what was troubling me. All along the way, he held my hand tightly. His palm was broad and warm, giving me an extraordinary sense of security. Gradually, my heart settled as well.

Li Meizi, however, had it much worse. She and the stretcher were thrown to the ground with a loud clatter, landing directly on her wound. She immediately grimaced in pain and sucked in a sharp breath, at last looking like someone seriously ill.

However, just after I finished speaking, Chuqi’s voice came from upstairs, frightening me into shivering all over again.

Yan Le was delighted to see Liang Yixuan become so obedient and draw closer to her. With her worries gone, she no longer hesitated to speak of that—etiquette.

Wang Shan’s face was anxious, but she had no way to explain things openly. She decided to tell him when they were alone later, so she changed the subject and began chatting idly with him.

“I’m truly glad you can think that way.” Wenren Junyao bent down and embraced Long Xiang, allowing the water dripping from his body to soak her pajamas.

Only long after Zhan Wushuang had left did several soldiers finally arrive. They had clearly delayed on purpose. The onlookers naturally understood, but all remained silent; no one condemned them. Having witnessed Zhan Wushuang’s ruthless methods, nobody was willing to stick their neck out.

“Why aren’t you going to eat?” Zhan Wushuang appeared casual and relaxed as he came to stand before him, gazing up at the vast sky alongside him.

Although he did not know what kind of mine could make Mei Jiu invest such an enormous sum, one thing was beyond doubt: the profits would certainly far exceed his investment. Perhaps ten times the principal, or even a hundred times.

Lin Lan nodded. “Of course. This box isn’t mine either; I found it in a cave. There’s a crystal-clear stone inside. Here, take a look.” With that, she opened the box, and Long Xiang’s breathing immediately quickened.

Ximen Jing thought to himself that the man had gone straight to the mortuary and certainly had not gone to the hospital. He sent a brief reply expressing his thanks, then read Wang Shan’s message. She had sent it the previous night, mainly asking whether Ximen Jing had arrived home safely.

The flames’ ability to recover seemed extraordinarily terrifying. Alternatively, perhaps after Xu Wei infused them with true qi, he had altered their constitution to some extent.

What Yang Ye did not know was that before today—or, more precisely, before Yang Ye’s duel with Wang Song—Mu Lei had always been determined to support Li Zhen to the death.

Thus, after Director Hong left, the people at the company heard that the Qingyou Gang had helped Lu Zixi secure an important role in Director Hong’s period drama set during the Republican era.

The second reason was that when Chef Huang invited Zhou Ran to act, he promised to give Zhou Ran two months of training. Chef Huang would personally train Zhou Ran for two months, teaching him all kinds of professional knowledge so that he would not be completely clueless when filming began.
