Chapter 65: Dissension in the Fu Family
Less than three days later, Fu Jun was released from the Court of Judicial Review.
The Fu family possessed a Tally of Iron and Dan, so Emperor Yongxi could not truly take Fu Jun's life. Moreover, since Fu Jun was the sole legitimate son of the Fu family's primary branch, triggering a complete and furious backlash from the Fu clan at this juncture was hardly opportune timing.
Therefore, after dealing with those who ought to be punished, the matter was quietly shelved.
Indeed, Fu Jun appeared noticeably haggard.
...
Watching the retreating figure of the man, Xie Yuxi felt as though her heart were being tightly gripped, aching terribly.
Having no other choice, I carried a bowl of black-bone chicken soup directly into Zhao Xuanxuan's bedchamber, the rich aroma instantly filling the entire room. Zhao Xuanxuan had been lying there looking utterly haggard, but upon catching the fragrance, her attention was immediately captured.
"This..." Everyone in the room widened their eyes in utter shock. What was happening here? How could all the elders have been sent flying away with a single exchange of blows?
If he had truly been capable of shouldering such heavy responsibilities back then, he would not have allowed Tang Yingnan to become so disappointed and ultimately turn to Tang Guannian, which was the only reason Tang Ming managed to survive intact.
With Yi Yuwei leaving like this, there was no telling when she might return, or if she might even move away from Haicheng permanently. Should that happen, any remaining hope between him and her would be thoroughly extinguished.
As Battle Heaven's spiritual power continued to surge, a sudden flash of light appeared in the eyes of the already eliminated Long Xiaotian.
It must be known that only the auctions held by the Myriad Immortals Alliance used high-grade primordial stones as their currency unit; ordinary auctions at best utilized medium-grade primordial stones.
With a red carpet paving the ground and roses leading the way, amid the varied and complex gazes of the crowd, Yan Qingwu slowly walked into the Chaoyang Courtyard.
Gu Nianhao looked at the man sitting on the living room sofa—the Second Young Master Song whom she was supposed to marry was actually not ugly at all! Not only was he not ugly, but he was strikingly handsome! With this thought, she glanced sideways at Gu Jiujiu.
Among the cultivators, an elderly man who appeared to be the leader spoke up, and as he finished, he took the lead in walking toward the distance.
Fang Shiyun tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time. Not long after she finally drifted into a hazy slumber, the sky outside had already grown bright. Rising from bed, Fang Shiyun discovered that the house was deathly quiet. Although Chen Jun was injured, during the time he had stayed at her home, he had always woken up earlier than her in the morning.
Waving his hand indifferently, Han Yan ignored Sun Guan's mild, somewhat threatening display of goodwill and slowly turned around.
The cyan sword Qi materialized into a tangible force, instantly surging by three feet and violently crashing against the blazing flame saber.
Zhou Jioping naturally knew why François was sighing. Although his outward expression remained calm, alongside François's sigh, Zhou Jioping let out a silent sigh deep within his heart.
He perceived that Elder Huqi and the others seemed to have sensed something, yet Qiyun did not mind too much. He merely wished to follow the clues left behind by the senior Gu Min to trace the footsteps of this predecessor.
Though he could not clearly see what that streak of cold light actually was, it instilled a sense of terror in the skeleton-masked man.
Even with the tremendous force behind his previous movement, if the explosive power of this bomb was sufficient, at the current distance it would still affect both himself and Liu Mengning.
"Brute, uncouth boor," muttered Sir John as he instinctively tightened his knees, urging his mount to accelerate and follow closely.
Paying no further heed to Wang Xiu, Sun Guan flicked his reins and rode toward the official residence first, closely followed by Mi Fang right behind him.
Prior to this, Chief Jivayuo had been worried that the Damon tribe would scatter in panic due to the Hyena tribe's onslaught. Thinking back now, Zhou Jioping's words made logical sense; after hesitating for a moment, Chief Jivayuo had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Other places? Could it be that you have located the positions of other bases?" Jiang Fei asked hastily.
