Chapter 91: The True Person of the Eight Trigrams

Chu Xiong looked at the half of her face that seemed to have improved somewhat, and his heart gave a faint stir.

But he did not ask further. He only sighed. "I will speak to your sister's side... Father will handle it. But what you did today was far too outrageous. How would those disciples think of Ruyan?"

Chu Yunyao secretly curled her lip. That would be even better; otherwise, would all her efforts not have been wasted?

Still, there was no need to quarrel with her nominal father over this. She merely gave a vague reply. "I understand."

Thinking of something, she asked a few questions about the Dark Alliance, then chatted about the various "legendary" experiences of each person. The crowd gradually fell silent.

Duanyuan, Shen Yurou, Bingyu, and Miss Qu bid farewell to Tian Zhifeng, as well as the four martial guards, and headed for the main residence of the Shen Fortress in the Immortal Domain. Along the way, lanterns already adorned the roads, and the whole place was filled with festive color.

Hearing Qin Ming's instructions, Yiyi agreed at once. Qin Ming prepared sweet-and-sour pork ribs, a bowl of chicken soup, and a dish of stir-fried lettuce greens, along with a layer cake. It was the first time he had cooked for Cheng Xin, and of course he had used all his divine chef skills.

They examined each scene in turn. By the end, even everyone had been split into different scenes, each searching for clues. The different scenes were connected together like two rooms, only without walls or doors; one only had to walk over.

Above the charcoal brazier hung a chandelier. The chandelier itself was not especially remarkable, but the fuel was a shocking waste: it was actually burning cold stones. One must know that every year in Bright Brook Academy, teachers, prodigies, and even great heroes died on the road while searching for cold stones.

After returning home, Cheng Xin took off her clothes and immediately had a hot bath. She felt uncomfortable all over and had no idea that Zhu Mingyu had already made up his mind to come and pester her every day. If she had known, she would surely have told Qin Ming at once and asked him to deal with it.

Liu Dingtian spoke unhurriedly. In truth, he was pleased. The stronger Golden Sand became, the stronger the force that could restrain the Four Demon Kings would be in the future. It was obvious that the relationship between the Four Demon Kings and the Jin clan was far from good, and had even grown somewhat hostile.

"I know that, of course. But don't we still have those two witnesses?" Lu Zhen chuckled. "Why not hear what they have to say first?" At that moment, the accused Lu Zhen had instead become the one directing the interrogation.

"What a joke. If some force at the level of Heavenly Authority were really targeting our Hong family, would they need to go to all this trouble? They could simply blockade the gates of our estate. How would my Hong family dare resist?" said Hong Jun, the Hong family patriarch.

Gong Qianzhu smiled weakly, lowered her head, and drew back her sleeve. Her skin was as pale and smooth as snow, with not a trace of injury.

He now had a feeling that his mind was clearer than before. Some things he had never quite understood now seemed to open before him all at once.

He was like an impulsive, spoiled boy in a drunken tantrum, calling out my name again and again. Those pleas sounded like the calls of a lost lamb to its companion. From love to hatred, it took only an instant.

Tianci and the liaison officer went straight into the hotel. Their room had already been booked in advance, waiting only for Tianci's arrival. The two of them went straight upstairs.

But compared with some organization and title Zhang Taibai had never even heard of, the identity of a ninth-rank agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. naturally drew far more of his attention.

"Then you let out a madman bent on destroying the world? Don't forget, besides being a mutant, you are also a leader of the Council of Elders!" Tutankarn said furiously.

Only then did Jiechi realize that he could no longer see through Jiese. He had always been able to see Jiese's strength at a glance before. Could it be that Jiese had truly grown so much stronger, even beyond him?

Along the way, they slew many shadows of the graveyard and passed through broken tombstones. Through the thick fog, the earth grew slick with mud. Lin Feng suddenly discovered that there was no road ahead, and in its place was a great river stretching across both sides.
