Chapter 136: Everyone is Here

Before the words even faded, all the color drained instantly from Chu Ruoyan's face.
She forcefully dug her fingernails into her palms through her sleeves, yet forced a look on her face that seemed on the verge of tears. "What is Young Master Ling implying? My sister... she truly has a straightforward temperament..."
"Oh, give it a rest."
Ling Ce rolled his eyes. "My young master despises play-acting the most—ouch."
The back of his head was suddenly struck by an intangible flick.
Ji Ciyuan's voice drifted over on the night breeze: "Too much talk."

Wen Boyun nodded and then shook his head. He made no attempt to conceal anything in front of Dong Qinyan, speaking forthrightly: "Among these factions, one is composed of loyal confidants of the previous dynasty's royal family. This faction is understandable; after all, the former dynasty was destroyed by the Great Qi, so it is only natural that they harbor hatred toward us."

Having purchased the medicinal ingredients, Wang Qi immediately headed toward the blacksmith's shop. In the mine cave last time, Wang Qi had slain a zombie. Although no mark had dropped, Wang Qi had acquired several pieces of ore. Judging from the records on the zombie, these pieces of ore were all iron ore, and Wang Qi wanted to see if he could forge a weapon.

Zhao Tian stepped out of the room to take a look and saw that Zhu Jishan had returned. He asked about it, and Su Qishan smiled as he explained, "Didn't your grandfather call from his end early this morning?"

At that moment, a voice rang out, and an elderly demon clan cultivator slowly flew out from the massive flying boat.

However, as for competitions upon the arena stage, those were fair duels, making no distinction between direct descendants and collateral branches.

The people of the Crown Prince's mansion escorted Helan Chun out. Before leaving, Helan Chun did not forget to change into a new set of garments, apply a touch of rouge and powder, and adorn herself with a hairpin from the treasure chest.

A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years; Mo Wen harbored not the slightest shred of resentment in his heart, for he was an exceedingly intelligent person.

"What do you all mean by this?" Lu Fang said. Looking at the arrivals, Lu Fang had already guessed their intentions in coming here.

Shu County was quite a distance from Jiankang. If these people were escorted back to Jiankang, there would be too many variables along the way; yet if they were kept in Shu County, they would remain a hidden hazard. Before the matter was fully investigated, rashly executing these people was not a wise course of action either.

As soon as these two gourds appeared, they exuded a rich, lingering fragrance. Just by taking a shallow breath, Li Jingliang and the other two felt their entire bodies relax and refresh, and they also grew curious about what exactly was stored inside the gourds.

The code name "Salty Honey" sounded like it fit the naming conventions of the Special Operations Office's code names; however, it had no business appearing on "Stingray."

To everyone watching, it appeared as though Xiao Tianqing was holding the Empress's hand as they walked slowly, but in reality, Feng Liuwu was being dragged along the entire way by Xiao Tianqing.

The Ministry of Works still had no idea that Qin Fengyi had gone so far as to kick the physician who delivered weapons to his estate to within an inch of his life. At present, the imperial court had just received Qin Fengyi's battle victory report, along with memorials stating that even more local tribesmen were willing to come down from the mountains and submit.

The boy's appearance was as naive and green as a high school student's, yet his black pupils were as deep and unfathomable as flickering, uncertain lights in the night, looking deeply eerie.

He parted his crimson lips, revealing neat, white teeth, and an inexplicable, gloomy chill suddenly washed over the scene.

Once the fiery, blazing desire faded away, his eyes regained their clean, limpid clarity, resembling a piece of black jade consecrated before the Buddha, save for a lingering, elusive trace of ferocity upon closer inspection.

Vantros raised those ice-blue eyes of his, which resembled pure, untainted blue gems, cold and devoid of a single shred of emotion.

Pearl of the Vast Sea: Talent has nothing to do with personal character. I've seen her out hanging out with several boys at night.

Fu Tiantian's voice sounded somewhat exhausted, and her eyes were laced with bloodshot veins. Ye Chu felt a deep ache in her heart; she had never seen Fu Tiantian looking so dejected and listless.

Although they felt a wave of gratitude toward Gu Feng deep down—if not for him, they would have been bullied by Ren Xiaotian back then—

Zhao Fusheng had certainly come here to establish his own prestige, and also because he hoped to avoid any irreconcilable conflicts between himself and Wu Sijie.
