Chapter 53: Candied Hawthorns on a Stick

As the three little ones drew nearer, their soft pink little coats stood out even more vividly.

“Su Xingwan actually dressed two boys as girls? How is she raising these kids!” Ye Yixing remarked.

Lu Yun didn’t have much to say about the scene.

Su Xingwan and Tang Muya planned to continue strolling with the three little ones. Since they rarely went out and tonight was New Year’s Eve, they wanted to enjoy themselves.

Although it had snowed tonight,

A shout rang out, drawing the nearby constables dining indoors to rush outside. Each of them stared at the carriage with burning eyes.

“The head of the H Base Psychics Alliance. All the government personnel at this base have fled, only the military and the Psychics Alliance remain, and the military is also under his control. Maybe soon he’ll be called Commander Xie of the base,” Guo Qing replied.

In the bustling streets of Keelung, a group leisurely wandered, led by Lu Ren himself, accompanied by Murong Ziying and Tuoba Yuer.

As the January deadline approached, Xie Bin grew increasingly eager. He wanted to see how the base would overcome this crisis.

Some noticed Aunt Ya, but most assumed she was just a bystander and paid her little mind.

One household was from Wuli Village, two from neighboring villages, and there was even a family from the mountain valley who had rushed over after seeing his family prosper.

Li Siyu could no longer hold back. Did these people really want to see with their own eyes how she intended to handle all this gold and silver?

The rest of the matters were unremarkable anyway. Once everything seemed settled, Lu Ren boarded the ship and set sail for Jingzhou. Upon arrival, he first attended to some miscellaneous affairs before leading some people straight to Liu Biao’s mansion in Xiangyang city.

Bai Jianjia informed those below that besides the secret of the bronze ring, she had another important announcement to make here, immediately stirring unrest among the audience.

She tossed and turned in bed for a long time, reflecting on many past events, only dozing off groggily by the second watch of the night.

Xia Minghan’s intentions were clear: trying to bring down Jiang Kuohai with this video was nearly impossible.

“Thinking? Hmm, still a bit lacking in salt, tsk, that’ll do.” Seeing the flavor was insufficient, the man sprinkled on more pepper and salt.

“Just want to ask if you’re carrying any exorcism powder?” Since under certain circumstances exorcism powder could act as a catalyst for bombs, wealthy adventurers usually carried some on them.

“It worked! You guys are amazing!” Viola hugged the black cat and approached the players. He Xi noticed the lines had changed.

However, when everyone’s attention shifted to the three on the battlefield cloudy song, they were all speechless in unison, for the instigators of this bloody scene showed no trace of nervousness or worry.

Between the two factions, their meeting hall was like foreign diplomacy—without strength, one could only endure humiliation and hardship, lacking even the right to negotiate terms.

Wang Shao was thrown down disgracefully, his head bleeding—a pitiful sight beyond embarrassment.

Guoguo simply couldn’t listen anymore; she began to feel sleepy, her eyelids fluttering wildly as she struggled to keep them open but was too exhausted and wanted to sleep.

When he finished checking the information and could no longer sense her presence, the panic he felt made his heart tremble.

Yao Ji made a swift turn, retreating straight back from the doorway. Shen Nianyi did not seize the opportunity to pursue; after all, it was just a door. There was no need to enter the room—what if she had set traps inside beforehand? That would only cause trouble.

This item was still given by Yue Junzheng to Cang Jiuyue; only the chief clerks of the Shui family’s shops across various counties possessed such things.

Some people might meet unexpectedly, just as she and Zuo Qianxun first encountered each other in Fengdu City.

Ouyang felt that the guilt and self-reproach in his heart were growing wildly at this moment, as if they could consume him at any time.
