Chapter 58

"It seems my strength is still not enough; that hit was far too light." Looking at its ferocious and angry expression, Sun Yan could not help but let out another cold laugh.

Watching the crimson figure dart past him once again, the rushing airflow stirred Sun Yan's loose hair. At the same time, it launched another tentative attack, shattering the energy shield he had condensed and draining a portion of his energy.

As the tea was poured into the cup, Xu Yang gazed at the pale green yet faintly reddish tea liquor within, crowned by a wisp of mist that lingered without dispersing. The air was filled with a serene, elegant fragrance carrying a hint of fiery passion.

"Ping'an, do you really want to know what happened to your father back then?" Snuffing out half a cigarette butt, Wu Jianguo raised his heavily wrinkled face.

"You guys hurry up and run for your lives," Lu Tianyu said, before plunging headfirst into the next level alongside the thunder beast Yaya.

Liu Feng's sudden shout startled the nervous Jiang Xue. Jiang Xue shot Liu Feng an annoyed glare.

This wave of ripples instantly transformed into a vast expanse of invisible undulations, continuously sweeping outward in all directions.

At first, the opponent refused, and even resorted to a direct brawl. Under such circumstances, there was naturally no need to be polite. Just like dealing with Emperor Kai, he shattered the opponent's soul and forcibly fused their soul fragments.

As he spoke, his gaze intently locked onto her eyes, watching the fire slowly leaping within them. The corners of his lips curved upward imperceptibly, while profound and sharp brilliance flashed across the depths of his eyes.

With so many servants around, any one of them could have been sent to check on the situation, yet the Dowager Grand Madam had specifically asked him to go personally. Fu Heng understood that his mother had good intentions and must have wanted to create more opportunities for the couple to grow closer.

However, just when everyone thought Lin Qingxian was about to be blasted to death by the shield, a thunder arrow came hurtling from afar, crashing violently into the shield and directly knocking it off its original trajectory, sending it hurtling toward a distant sacred mountain.

Without further ado, the group set off. Chen Long condensed a dragon of darkness, allowing Su Luomo and Black-Robed Suzhen to take their seats.

If both methods failed, they would cling to you like sticky taffy until you agreed to join the Justice Alliance, only giving up as an absolute last resort.

Though Yue Lingbo's injuries had stabilized, her complexion remained poor, and lacking the strength to argue with Xia Shang, she could only cast him a blank stare.

This was the most effective method she could think of—a desperate gamble akin to burning her boats! Yet it had failed just like that. What was she supposed to do now?

A long cyan-green dress in a simple, casual forest style, paired with a thin, grayish-green cardigan sweater, presented an overall look that felt soothing and refreshing, like a gentle spring breeze.

Weeping, she slowly squatted down. All her past memories rushed over her like a surging tide, and she trembled all over, unable to stop her crying.

The Princess of Anguo's side must have grown suspicious of Prince Heng's estate, and Lian Yue was beginning to find herself caught in a difficult dilemma.

Some went to inform the Ministry of Punishments, others reported to the imperial palace, and the members of the Japanese embassy all emerged.

Since all the Immortal Venerables had begun their cultivation, Sai Huatuo and Zhao Ming naturally refused to fall behind. They each crossed their legs and began circulating the immortal essence within their bodies.

Xizi had already passed the stage of talking to herself and seemed drowsy, as if on the verge of falling asleep. Xiaoxiao instructed someone to spread a mattress in the carriage, helped Xizi lie down, and kept watch right by her side.

"Hmph... Just a bleeding heart. He had a foolish brain back in the army, and decades later he hasn't shown any improvement. After retiring, he spent decades at the police station just remaining a station chief, occupying the position without doing any real work. He might as well pack up and leave early," Xiao Gang said with a disdainful sneer, his eyes filled with mockery and triumph.

"Is that Ning'an? This is Cheng Feifan." Cheng Feifan's voice came from the other end of the line, sounding as mild-mannered as ever, though for some reason somewhat slurred.

Old Master Tang's gold-mining enterprise had suffered a heavy blow from the Zhao family of Sichuan a few years ago and was on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, the third young master secretly invested a massive fortune to strongly support it, allowing them to weather the crisis. The fourth and fifth young masters of the Tang family were insufficiently capable—one being shallow and the other reckless—and the business relied entirely on the third young master's backing to be managed decently.

Under Gu Qing's arrangement, Gu Caiyi and Qian Ye's master-and-apprentice duo searched for Gu Yuxing. Gu Qing, however, had to search for the others alone, only to discover at that moment that once the members of the eight sects scattered, he had almost entirely lost his connection to the others.

"Having survived so many years, does the Emperor think I would still be afraid of her?" Having endured so much hardship, her willpower had long been forged to be indestructible. How could Murong Qingyu possibly inflict a shred of harm on her now?

To other business elites, the Shen family was an object to be fawned over, but to Bi Qianmo, that was not necessarily the case.

However, Elder Master Ning in the capital, upon receiving the letter, could no longer remain calm. He read the letter aloud to Old Madam Ning, and the old lady was so shocked that her hands and feet trembled.

"I heard Sister Guo mention that Liu Zong had been married before, but I didn't expect the child to be this old, and so cute," Lili said in astonishment.

Amidst Hu Peng's dumbfounded and instantly venomous glare, Fang Shanmu strode away with swaggering steps back to his room to sleep.

Yet he also felt a deep sense of regret, fearing he would never encounter another beauty so delicate and alluring.

Wuhua glanced at Yun Yi's back, looked down again at the jade hairpin in her hand, and shook her head helplessly.

This was a very common phenomenon. Neither Dr. Stuart nor Joey noticed it at first, but only after Ting Shu pointed it out did they carefully observe the Arcanine's belly.

Could it be some kind of trick? She had been running around like a dog for the past few days, which meant Gruul, circling the Bladespire Mountains, must be even more exhausted.

Meanwhile, outside the prefecture magistrate's mansion in Linjun City, the official yamen guards held newly lit lanterns, forming two neat rows.

Vanessa felt a sudden realization and stopped talking trash. Shifting entirely to defense, amidst parrying, blocking, and dodging, she began planning a way to defeat her opponent.

At Lan Xin's arrival, Yang Mei merely twitched her eyebrows slightly before returning to normal. She greeted Lan Xin and even took the initiative to sit right beside her.

"Actually, you didn't need to make such a grand gesture and go through so much trouble to welcome me in. Even just sending a sedan chair would have been fine; I wouldn't have minded," Nixie spoke out, holding an untouched teacup, her fingertips absentmindedly tracing the rim, appearing somewhat nervous and constrained.

Yet only a few days had passed, and Mo Fan had completely forgotten his warning?

Stripping the grenade from the enemy soldier and checking the other two corpses, Zhang Gang took the weapons and ammunition and secretly crept toward the east.

Fearing that Lin Hao would act stubbornly again, Yang Yan turned sideways and quietly whispered a few instructions to him, which finally helped Lin Hao steady his temper.
