Chapter 91: Let’s See How Arrogant You Can Be Now

“Sister!” Hua Qinci saw that Shang Jinxiu had come out to greet her, so she hurried forward and bowed to Shang Jinxiu.

Wei Dachun and Liu Qingyun followed closely behind, politely saluting as well.

Yuzhu had already walked quickly to Shang Jinxiu’s side, unaware that the lady had chosen to come out personally to welcome Hua Qinci.

Furthermore, seeing her mistress step outside, she was full of puzzlement. Just a country girl, even if she’s a physician, surely there’s no need for such a grand welcome.

“Miss, why did you come out to greet her yourself? Is it really necessary to give her such respect?” Yuzhu thought that Shang Jinxiu had already shown Hua Qinci the utmost courtesy by sending her to receive her.

Shang Jinxiu paid no heed to Yuzhu’s question, and—

Perhaps the wounds suffered in that previous life were so deep that after her rebirth, she harbored an instinctive aversion to him.

“Cao Chun! Let them go! I’ll be your hostage and escort you out of the city!” Zhang Ji threw his weapon to the ground and strode fiercely toward Cao Chun, his eyes ablaze, fixed firmly on Cao Chun.

But just as he reached the doorway, he abruptly halted and returned to his chair, sitting in silence for a long time.

Zhang Yipao inwardly cried out in distress, yet dared not linger. After revealing himself, he used his Void Step again, but Dao Wuming unleashed a mark that locked onto his trail.

Reporting to Qiu Kainan brought him little pressure. The county’s agricultural development was entirely under his guidance, making the report easy. In less than ten minutes, Tang Dingguo had given a succinct account of the county’s progress.

This lingzhi mushroom was thousands of years older than the one Bai Wanwan had struggled so hard to protect, its entire body shrouded in immortal aura and glowing softly, obviously possessing immense potency.

Lan Xiu nodded slightly, finally satisfied. He exchanged a few more words with her, then turned and departed.

Among such close friends, there should be one or two with whom the bond is deepest—what we call a unique “bosom friend.”

He had expected Qian Yunli to come up with some bold words or conditions, but she simply uttered something wholly untempting.

“Come back! If any of you leave this Prime Minister’s residence today, don’t ever expect to return!” Liuzhou Chong rebuked, furious.

His intuition told him the murderer was among these three. It was a hasty guess, but three out of one is common in Conan, and these three truly seemed suspicious.

Wu He sighed; the ancients were right—fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Since he had rid himself of disaster, so too had his luck vanished.

Ascending the stairs, he saw the person sitting calmly in his bedroom. He entered without hesitation.

“Master Jingnin, then I shall come!” The Champion Marquis, seeing his side targeted by a coalition, flashed his gaze and charged toward the bald monk gathered near Jingnin.

Thinking thus, Su Rushi raised her head and glanced at Madam Su Yun, who was smiling obsequiously at her. Something was wrong, absolutely wrong—she’d best remain cautious.

After speaking, Elder Wu’s figure vanished once more, while the fat-faced one began pondering the mountain-protecting array. Ultimately, the Poison King Sect’s condition prevailed; though activating the sect’s protective array required exorbitant resources, the benefits from the Poison King Sect were even rarer.

Chu Nan twisted the foreigner’s arm, wrenching it cruelly. The foreigner cried out miserably, retreating again and again. The “Whimpering Monster” hurried to pull him up, but both tumbled to the ground.

“There’s something I might say that could hurt the bond between you sisters. Do you wish to hear it?” Zhong Wuhen looked into Feng Ruo’er’s eyes.

Grandmother was already advanced in years. To put it bluntly, her feet were nearly in the grave. The only thing keeping her tethered to this world was her sole grandson.

Whispers spread like a tide throughout Dream City, their gazes converging upon the sky. In their eyes, confusion reigned—clearly, none of them knew what had transpired.
