28. The Night of Treasures and Thunder When the Three Teachings Converge
Yugu Mountain.
The Jubao Tower was the largest tavern in Qijiang City, flanked by the river on the west and land routes on the east. Originally a piece of wasteland, it was later purchased by a high-ranking official and gradually became a transit point for salt merchants and the canal gangs. Controlled by a branch of the Whale Gang, the docks once surpassed Qi County, making it a major city second only to Hao County.
The tower stood three stories high, adorned with red lacquer and intricate carvings. Large red lanterns graduated in size from small to large, then back from large to small, forming a continuous ribbon of red that extended all the way to the long bridge, illuminating the painted pleasure boats. The mingling hues of red and green rippled across the river surface, seeming to blend into the summer night.
After Xia Qingshan left, Xia Wan took out her phone and browsed through it, noticing that Gu Qian had called her via video five minutes ago.
Might Guy looked at Rock Lee before him, raising a brow slightly with a trace of surprise in his eyes.
Su Tian immediately arranged for people to make preparations, first gathering around a hundred down jackets, along with some charcoal and insulated mugs.
Yet his own destined weapon was only of B-grade, and his backup weapon was still a ninety-nine-percent rare item.
Whether they had already undergone the examination or were still waiting to take it, everyone around stared with wide-eyed disbelief at this sight.
After Wang Mei went inside, Li Xinyue immediately stripped off her clothes, wrapped herself in a large towel, and followed her in.
Zhang Yihang waved his hand, feeling the faint goodwill from Huang Miaomiao, and could not help feeling secretly pleased in his heart.
Every single crystal gleamed with a sharp, piercing brilliance, as if a mere gentle touch would suffice to slice everything apart.
Lin Shiqi was pulled into Kuran's embrace. She had not actually thought that much; her mind was entirely consumed by the events unfolding below, which might truly turn out to be a momentous crisis, just as her father the Khan had foreseen.
He clearly detected the reverence in Liu Huaide's gaze toward him, and recalled the terror the hoodlums had displayed when looking his way.
"Haha, Brother Long, Brother Wang, it must have been thirty years since we last met!" At that moment, another booming voice resounded, and a youth in black robes flew down from the horizon. It was none other than Xiu Di, the third prince of the Xiuwu Empire.
Lu Feng, clad in a robe of black, hovered in mid-air, standing quietly there in a manner that inspired awe, akin to looking up at a towering mountain.
In its physical state, simply being brushed by the fine white thread would instantly trigger the [Cutting] effect.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiao Yu nodded repeatedly, feeling as though a myriad of mythological beasts were stampeding through his heart at having encountered such an eccentric character.
Luo Bingzhu seemed to sense that gentle kiss. Then she burst into a soft laugh, opened her eyes, and wrapped her arms around Xiao Yu's neck.
Liu Qingqing let out a fan-girl squeal, and then resumed sucking on her lollipop! That lollipop seemed exceptionally delicious, and she kept on licking it.
"Your Majesty, please wait here for a moment. Those people should be arriving shortly," Tauros said softly.
Before long, he reached the summit of the peak, where his gaze immediately fell upon Xue Muyang seated in the primary seat of the main hall.
Yang Yu thought nothing of it and led Shi San to the guest rooms first. After entering the room, the large black dog leaped onto the bed, found a soft spot, and lay down. Yang Yu always felt there was something strange behind the innkeeper's smile, so after settling their luggage, he prepared to go downstairs to boil some water.
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of all the important figures present shifted drastically. Previously, they had been discussing whether Zigong Village would show up, and just when they had abandoned that thought, they never expected the people from Zigong Village to appear right before their eyes in such an unmasked manner.
Hearing this, Ye Qingnan instinctively glanced at Dianya's figure and felt somewhat speechless... If you didn't act so seductive, would others harbor evil intentions?
Before him stood the true Crown Prince, and it would have been completely normal had the prince ignored him entirely. Instead, the prince was so sincere that Feng Tianyou felt rather overwhelmed.
"Harry, I am definitely going to get my cargo back. If you insist on trading with them, then there will be no need for cooperation in the future, and I guarantee you will never be able to buy another piece of tungsten ore," Chen Miao said.
"You're out of your minds, still wanting to look for Mr. Wang?" Wang Fengxiu was thoroughly startled. These soldiers were truly becoming insufferably brazen; if this matter were to reach the Wang family's ears, no one would come out of it well.
