Chapter 118: The Dispersal

Chen Kedi seemed to have made up his mind.
He paused briefly before continuing, “I know my actions might bring turmoil to the Great Xia Kingdom, but I believe it is necessary. We cannot allow past mistakes to remain hidden any longer. The Lin family—dozens of them—perished unjustly in a single night. Isn’t that enough? Does the stability of the Great Xia Kingdom not even protect the names of those dozens of Lin family members?”
...
Fifteen minutes later, Liu Chun was deeply disappointed. Old Zhu’s scolding prowess seemed far weaker than before—had he developed dementia?
Back at school, Lu Jing pressed down on her wildly beating heart. She didn’t understand why she had done what she did, but now, what was she to do?
Tears shimmered in Zhou Yao’s eyes as he recalled his early days in government, brimming with zeal. Now, all that passion had turned cold and lifeless. What he clung to was merely a phrase etched deeply in his heart: “A martyr does not fear the axe and sword when offering counsel; a wise ruler does not shy away from faults and accepts loyalty.”
The Lin family’s gates were tightly shut. Not long after An Xia left, anguished wails echoed from within. The next day, both Xu Meifeng and Lin Yuejiao remained indoors. News of this spread quickly throughout the timber mill.
An Xia left a prescription with the clan chief and taught the villagers how to prepare the medicine. It was time for her to depart.
“No, no, then I’d have to explain it to others. If I don’t explain, they’ll still misunderstand. No, I won’t do it,” Jin Yu Feiying shook his head.
Old Master Cheng was furious. If not for his remaining sanity, he would have raised his cane to strike Yang Jinying, cursing how a good man like Brother An had ended up with such a cold-hearted, confused woman.
Jian Han was truly frightened, staring blankly at Jin Sicheng, overwhelmed and unsure how to react after being startled by him today.
These generals had been considered and arranged to perfection; unless one was a fool, there was no reason to refuse.
With the aid of magic, preparing afternoon tea for a friend visiting his second home for the first time was effortless for Harry, not at all begrudging.
Long Yuan was uncertain whether the matter was true, yet he already felt that this Qin Feng might indeed be the very same Qin Feng.
My heart leapt in terror, and I glanced around at the houses. To my shock, every single house was imbued with the aura of the Great Dao, and it was remarkably strong. It was astounding I hadn’t noticed before—this village was truly a village of the Great Dao.
Su Yiqing knew that no matter how much she asked Yang Yang about the matter he didn’t wish to speak of, it would be futile unless the child resolved it himself. Even she was powerless otherwise.
The ultimate outcome of this war was a true reflection of the real world: the Moonless Empire had emerged victorious.
“I’m sorry that you and the child have been spoken of like this. I will make sure this matter is handled,” Mu Yixi crouched before Gu Xiaoxiao and said sincerely.
The matter had escalated so greatly— even if I obtained custody, the fact that Li Yi was Bao’er’s biological father was undeniable.
He actually knew that his young master would never truly marry Ji Jiahui, so he wasn’t worried at all about Ji Jiahui becoming You Runjie’s wife.
But half an hour later, he was chilled to the bone, trembling all over, his lips turning purple with cold, his bones stiff and rigid, unable to move.
Even so, the Bolton squad back then consistently ranked in the top ten of the Premier League. What made Big Sam so formidable was his ability to recruit former star players and leverage their experience to keep the team stable.
Yet... though her words annoyed him, why did her current resilient and struggling demeanor appear so endearing?
“Not busy today?” Zhou Ran turned his head to look at him, her toes obediently slipping into the slippers he had placed by his feet.
