Everyone looked at one another, their eyes puffy and swollen, before bursting into simultaneous, uncontrollable laughter.

Lin Tianyao examined the injuries and discovered that the meridians and bones were completely shattered, and the abdomen had been abandoned. Although he had saved his own life, he was now completely crippled.

"What is this all for?" Qing Rang could not see the expression beneath the mask, only feeling that the way he was deliberately teasing them was detestable. As she stepped onto Taihe Bridge, Yu Zichen realized he had just lost his focus.

That day, he had been too busy fighting for his life to carefully observe this Iron-Clad Tiger. Only now did he realize that this creature was exceptionally large.

Ruan Xiyan came from a humble background. When she first entered the manor, she was looked down upon in the back courtyard. After Xie Huaiyun fell out of favor, Ruan Xiyan received more and more of the Prince’s affection. Though she remained childless for many years, her status never wavered; she was named Mistress of the West Courtyard, and the Prince even entrusted a son to her care, ensuring that no one dared to slight her again.

Honestly, regardless of the method, as long as these works could be displayed, Dr. Genus would be satisfied, for it was exactly what he had envisioned.

A knock on the door sounded at an inopportune moment. Yan Xiaoxiao gathered her strength, took a deep breath, and pulled the door open. Outside, Xu Yi waved a boxed meal at her, and Yan Xiaoxiao looked at him in surprise.

Luo Ai was also sent away by Mother Feng, leaving only seven people in the hall: Song Yin, Tang Lichuan, Ba Shisi, Zhu Chuanjia, Hu Zhaoxian, Leng Baifeng, Mother Feng, and Su Zaiyun. The main doors were flung wide, and everyone else was relegated to a distance of forty feet, unable to overhear a single word, left to speculate in the mysterious atmosphere of the hall.

Men truly are creatures with rebellious hearts; when things come too easily, they find fault with everything.

In the silent mountains, Qing Rang heard a faint sound. She lowered her body and crept closer, peeking from behind a large tree to find a boy lying in the weeds. Qing Rang estimated he was about the same age as her brother, Yuxiang, and smelling the scent of blood in the air, she guessed he must be injured.

The affair involving Vice Mayor Han has stirred up a storm across the city. With anti-corruption efforts at their peak, who would dare to wade into such murky waters?

In reality, Li Zi’s status within the Luofu sect was too low; even if the Li family were to face trouble later, she would find it difficult to plead their case or offer any real help, at most ensuring the continuation of the family line.

Yang Bo looked at Lu Dongxing. Having traveled far and wide for so many years, Lu Dongxing had seen much and possessed a clearer perspective.

Gu Ruoli accompanied Nanny Qiu to visit Fang Chaoyang, and after a brief conversation, Nanny Qiu hurried back to the palace.

"Uncle Wei, listen to me!" Ye Peng spoke up. There were no outsiders present, so it was not inappropriate for him to speak; after all, Li Yi’s group did not strictly adhere to hierarchies.

Deep within the forbidden grounds of the Xuanji Cliff, a loud explosion suddenly erupted, and twenty powerful figures slowly emerged, their vitality surging like the sea.

Cui Yanxiao shook his head. "I didn't have time to go. I encountered some bandits taking advantage of the chaos on the road. If Zhao Yuanshan’s men hadn't saved me, I don't think I would have made it back." He felt a lingering fear as he spoke.

The ambushers had clearly been at a disadvantage in firepower even when they were at full strength. Now, with many dead or retreated, a few revolvers could hardly stir up any trouble—they couldn't even manage to finish off their own wounded comrades.

"I will accompany you back." Gu Ruoli went over to support Fang Chaoyang and cast a look at the others. Everyone understood and turned to their own conversations.

However, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and pondered for a moment. In the end, he did not take that step. Regardless of what secrets lay in that darkness, let them remain there. With so many abandoned houses in this town, if he were to investigate every patch of darkness, he would surely exhaust himself to death.

After the old man wiped Zhang Liang’s body clean with a hot towel, he stared at him nervously. After all, when he had found him, he had lost so much blood; it was clear he had suffered severe injuries.

Gazing at the empty, burning campfire, Sasori held the dry rations in his hand and asked in a desolate tone.

"It seems you are a good person after all." The burly man lunged forward, shouting, "Good people don't live long!" He flicked his short club to the left of Li Erhu to confuse his opponent, while secretly preparing to strike with full force on the right.

A year of peace and comfort drifted in from the myriad stars and the dragon-like lights before him, while over a decade of bloody slaughter flowed away into another parallel forest of gloom and damp cold. He looked out and saw nothing but the shadows of men.

However, on the way out of the Zhu household today, Zhu Da had brought up the matter with Scholar Qin. A good bow was a major affair for Uncle Xiang, but for Scholar Qin, it was simple—nothing more than telling someone to have it delivered.

The content of many financial reports follows roughly the same pattern throughout the year: first, reporting on oil prices falling below a certain benchmark, then discussing how the New York stock market is affected, followed by commentary from various experts.

Big Shrimp also mentioned that he had tried to reach his leg into the vortex, but was pushed back by a gentle force. A voice had echoed, saying that he had not attained the cultivation of the Realm of Form, and therefore had no right to enter.

"What is coming?" All eight members of the Anbu heard Kakashi, but none of them understood at first.
