Chapter 46: Shady Business
Pei Shijin felt a faint sense of puzzlement, assuming she had suddenly grown afraid, and reached out a hand to gently pat her shoulder.
Xie Yun felt it and forced herself to calm down.
Pei Shijin's gaze then drifted back to the flatbed cart.
The night was too dark, and they were still at some distance, making it impossible to discern what was piled upon it.
Was it perhaps his imagination...
Jiang Huai couldn't be bothered to care, but since Gu Wuxian was his savior, he had already begun to ponder it in secret.
Ai Feng only then remembered that people of this era placed a heavy emphasis on status and hierarchy, and disciples usually served their masters while they ate! Yet Ai Feng had no desire to abide by such conventions with them.
In the second volume, the two did not meet for a full four years, and their reunion took place amidst the bloody chaos of the execution ground. Therefore, Volume Three, where Jiang Huai temporarily sets aside his hatred, would be their sweetest volume yet.
The old man looked extremely angry, emanating an aura of majesty that instantly subdued the two of them.
Lin Lang's gaze also drifted into the distance, eager to see for herself what this international diva truly looked like.
Liu Jiuer also admired the third concubine's magnanimity; being able to endure such words meant that unless she used harsher methods, the third concubine would continue to think of her as a pushover, and she was determined to provoke her into anger. With this thought, Liu Jiuer bowed slightly to Madam Wang, then turned her gaze toward the third concubine.
He was at least twice Lin Chutian's age, yet he had the audacity to address him as "elder brother." Everyone present was dumbfounded.
"Rest assured! Your husband has already reported it to the authorities, and the official yamen will be responsible for finding them. You are tired today too, Die'er, so go back and get some proper rest! There are people watching here, nothing will go wrong, and I will keep watch as well." Liu Zhengyuan reached out to wipe the tears from Wang Jinmei's face, able to offer only such comfort now, hoping his wife would not continue to grieve so sorrowfully.
When he reached the entrance of the main hall, Ren Fei happened to bump into Heng Shan coming out from within. Catching sight of Ren Fei, Heng Shan snorted coldly before stepping out through the threshold.
"Father, forget it! Sister Xuan'er is ignorant, and as the elder sister, I can only bear with it. But if word of this gets out, Jiuer will have no face left to show anyone." Liu Jiuer refused to let Yao Meixuan finish speaking! By taking a step back to demand a lesser concession, she refused to believe she couldn't handle this wicked wretch Yao Meixuan.
Faced with such an abrupt transformation in Bai Yunzhi, Yu Rongrong was also extremely displeased, yet she still knew to move closer to her father, Yu Dazhi, so as not to crumble under the pressure emanating from Bai Yunzhi.
Moreover, the mall's level was equally crucial. Although spirit-detecting talismans could detect blood demons, the consumption was too high and the return on investment too low; any research built upon them would likely struggle to be effective.
Coupled with the densely packed rows of hospital beds and the hollow gazes of the patients upon them, everyone felt an involuntary chill creeping into their bones.
barring any accidents, the VIP chapters will be updated tomorrow at noon at twelve, though the system's release of the VIP function might be delayed by a few minutes, which is entirely normal.
The roaring sound of thundering hooves drew ever closer, draining the color from the faces of the three. The thick, mist-like black fiendish aura that had previously filled the air was instantly shattered as hundreds upon hundreds of black-armored cavalry surged forward like a tidal wave.
In the Yun State, she had disguised herself as a wealthy idler of leisure, desperately suppressing herself, and only dared to break through once she reached the Qianchuan Academy.
A distance of thirty miles was certainly not insignificant for a pampered princess, especially when forced to travel it continuously within a short span of time.
Ever since the spiritual mine incident was resolved, the heads of those four great clans had come one after another to offer apologies and make amends. Through several rounds of deepening familiarity, this also facilitated trade in spirit stones across multiple cities.
Leisurely decades passed in the blink of an eye, and that young Prince of Jiangning had already attained such "achievements" at a tender age. Throughout Jiangning, and indeed the entire Great Chu, word was spreading that he had ascended to the Grotto-Heaven realm at seventeen, and by twenty was already at the tenth heaven of the Grotto-Heaven realm. In terms of cultivation realm, even Xie Xuanyi of yesteryear could not compare with the Prince.
