Volume 1 Chapter 38: An Encounter
Jiumu followed the direction Yue Xingluo was pointing and saw a man and a woman stepping onto the shore, the man moving with careful attentiveness as he stayed by her side.
"Isn't that Luo Xiuyuan?"
"It is him," Yue Xingluo confirmed.
Becky, standing to the side, became displeased and immediately interrupted her with a sarcastic tone: "So, are we supposed to thank you then?" As she spoke, she provocatively drew her staff and gave it a symbolic tap toward Kessania.
The remnants of the White Lotus Sect gathered from all directions. The blood-drenched Soul-Hooking Carriage circled once in place, carving a perfectly neat circle into the ground with two piercingly crimson tire tracks before charging toward the canyon like an arrow, trailing blood-soaked mud.
Did he ask her to come and find him just to watch him "flirt with others"? Thinking of this, Yu Ziqian felt a prickle of annoyance.
"It’s not that. A stronger mental capacity is certainly a good thing, but I was thinking that the mental energy radiating from martial arts experts or those with powerful minds often becomes a label that identifies them as strong, which frequently hinders many of their actions," Yu Sheng explained.
The command room remained silent for a long time. Yet, after only a moment, the officers lifted their arrogant heads once again.
"Only those who have done wrong have reason to fear; she deserved it!" Chen Yu scoffed disdainfully. Knowing that Zhong Juan'er had been sentenced to death for the many things she had done behind the scenes, she felt that the pent-up anger in her heart had finally been released.
Wang Hui could only ponder this, though it was mostly an impossibility; after all, he was here for a trial, and the prompt had stated he could only leave once his life index reached triple digits.
"A young man?" Lu Ziqian whispered, seemingly to himself, not expecting an answer—and, of course, Sun Qing did not provide one.
Twenty percent off your mother, indeed. With this ten percent discount, the gold coins I paid were N times more than the last time. I have no idea how they calculate their discounts. Though I thought this to myself, I kept a pleasant expression on my face, nodded, thanked it, and let it leave.
Xie Bangui's blade wind cut three inches into the tower's structure, chasing the whistling sound as it spiraled upward. Flying iron shavings veiled the blade's gleam, sparking points of light in the air as embers scattered endlessly. Yet, the long whistle drifted left and right, weaving up and down amidst the "swish-swish" sound of the blade, constantly circling within the currents of the strike.
Taking advantage of the gap while they were eating, Lin Feng slipped out of the villa again, searching the surrounding area for a long time, unwilling to give up.
"Brother Zijie, I can't take it anymore. Why don't you go find Sister Yanran or Sister Xiaoya?" Liu Lin pleaded, her face full of entreaty.
As the son of Tang Yuan, Tang Zheng’s movements were destined to attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.
After receiving the call from Li Qiu and realizing the gravity of the situation, Guo Yuxi immediately phoned Zhan Lang, and then rushed over with a group from Longteng Trading Company.
Upon hearing this, Richard and Okamoto Nitian exchanged a look, nodded silently, and agreed to the request proposed by student Park Chang.
If you rob a bank of tens of millions, you might need to prepare for half a year or even longer, but Wei Zijie had obtained this money in less than half a month. The speed of the two simply couldn't be compared. He had raked in over ten million in just a few days; who knew if he might bring in a hundred million after a month?
No, there was no longer a sea of consciousness; the entire mental sea had transformed into a core of primordial spirit.
Zhang Yu hesitated for a moment before signaling the generals to drag Zhu Gaoxu out of the main hall. Along the way, Zhu Gaoxu cursed incessantly until he disappeared from sight.
In truth, Old Master Li had already formed some other guesses in his mind, but he did not want to reveal them in front of Xu Wu. Yet, that fellow Xu Wu was determined to get to the bottom of it, which began to irritate the old man.
