Forty-seven: The Way and the Grand Marshal

But all he wanted was a divorce. No matter how deeply she loved him, it was useless.

Seeing Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke, Hojo Osamu smiled faintly, especially when he noticed that Sasuke looked not yet ten years old. He nearly laughed out in mockery.

Fang Xuanling was so agitated that his hands trembled. In these recent days, the burden on his heart had not weighed on the emperor alone; as the chief minister of the realm, he carried no less pressure than Li Shimin.

Five minutes later, the calm, forceful voice of Commander-in-Chief Yang Changfeng rang through every combat operations room. After receiving the tactical orders, commanders at every level immediately assigned specific battle tasks to their units. At eight-thirty, five thousand digital soldiers entered the interstellar network together.

As for what Locke truly meant to convey, Gron naturally understood perfectly. And in providing support for this matter, the Alliance would certainly not be stingy. After all, this was a battle being fought on the Alliance’s behalf, and such things were no issue at all. If it had been any other member, Gron would have agreed at once and told them to go ahead without restraint.

It was obvious that although the battle appeared to be the Black Cat Pirates avenging their captured crew against the Navy, there were traces of deliberate manipulation behind it.

Li Xiaochang’s matter had already been quietly resolved by Yuchi Gong at Xuanwu Gate, and the soldiers present had all been silenced. Emperor Gaozu remained completely unaware of it.

When He Bai escorted Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao on their way and then hurried back, he finally returned to Luoyang before the gates were shut. In truth, Luoyang was a vast city, protected to the north by Mount Mang and to the south by the Luo River, with people living all around its four sides.

Gunfire came again in a rapid burst, and Sang Nuo immediately threw himself on top of the man, rolling with him to the shelter of cover at the edge of the rooftop.

Yan Huaizhi raised a hand and, before Sheng Mingyu’s eyes, leisurely adjusted his cuff links. They were square cuffs forged from platinum and inlaid with blue diamonds. Their design was simple and elegant, yet anyone could tell at a glance that they were worth a fortune. With his absent-minded handling, he revealed the watch on his wrist.

Also trapped in the formation, Gu Ju lifted her hair and tilted her head back, revealing her slender, snow-white neck as she looked at Guo Liuchu with a pitiable expression.

After staying at home for half a year, imagine waking up one day at the usual late hour of eleven, only to find that the parents who usually would not even make you lunch had suddenly prepared a sumptuous breakfast of meat, eggs, and milk and set it on the table.

Lin Biao looked to be a middle-aged man in his thirties, with the scars of war still etched across his resolute face. A scar on his cheek stretched all the way to the edge of his ear, as though left by a grazing shard of shrapnel.

He knew that if she caused any more trouble, with his current cultivation he would absolutely be unable to control the situation.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry, there’s no problem! I’m telling you, I’m already at the peak of the Golden Core stage. This little bit of wine is nothing!” Lu Li said with complete confidence, reaching around his junior sister’s restraining hand and drinking it down.

“Absolutely true!” Xiao Bai knew full well that as long as this person before him helped him finish the matter, even if the quantity of spiritual jade turned out to be inaccurate, so what? Given their family ties, at worst he would just get scolded. Besides, even if there were less than half the promised jade, this operation would still be entirely worthwhile.

However, although Red Lotus was wildly arrogant, she did not truly strike at Li Dou with killing blows. It was more like a beating meant to vent her anger. After all, Li Dou might not amount to much in other respects, but his defenses and regenerative abilities were exceptionally strong.

Li Dou was one of them. Yet for reasons unknown, even though he had not gained demonic power at that time, he still became the focus of attention in the exam grounds.

With a sword hand seal formed, thousands upon thousands of sword phantoms split from the tip of the blade and descended from the sky, like a dense and impenetrable waterfall of sword rain. In an instant, shattered stones flew everywhere.

With conditions this good, they wanted a village girl? I don’t quite believe it. Could it be that you’ve been kept in the dark by the Yun couple?

Li Yiran drove the car to Xia Shiguang’s residence, and Xia Shiguang got out. Before she could even catch her breath, she saw that Gu Chen had gotten out as well.

Reluctantly, he set down his bowl and chopsticks, rubbed his lower back, his sides, and his stomach, and only then felt a little better.

Seeing Jun Yan’s reaction, Wan the young master inwardly cried that something was wrong. He hurried over to his ear and whispered something to him. The old man, having seen all of this, did not rush Jun Yan at all and continued smiling as he waited.

Mao Quan reacted at once. Casting a pitying glance at the old ghost, who had completely lost his composure and now looked like a candle guttering in the wind, he turned and called out.

They had driven him straight through the back entrance of the restaurant and loaded him into the car. When Yun Xiu and Yun Huan woke up, they found themselves locked inside an underground room. It was pitch-black, and all they could hear were the sounds of snoring.

Li Mo opened the coffin before him. Inside lay a middle-aged man whose face was ashen and wasted, his entire body a blue-purple color, lying quietly within.

Chen Changsheng was no ordinary man and would not act on impulse. Though what had happened back then had brought shame upon the Changsheng Sword Sect and even driven it into repeated decline, that was precisely why he resisted the matter. Yet he had his own considerations as well. Wei Yiping did not interrupt him, only waited in silence as Chen Changsheng thought it through.

By the time she finally stopped moving her hands, several waves of customers had already come and gone around her.

As Qin Yang’s wife, Han Qingqing naturally spent the most time with him, and the happiest news came first from her as well. After all, with medicine so advanced nowadays, pregnancy could be detected after only a few days.

Though he was not a genius by any means, he would not so easily be fooled by a junior. It is fine for young people to gain experience through travel and tempering, but they cannot simply wander anywhere they please. Was the Realm of Chaos a place ordinary people could just go? In there, one would find either madmen seeking overwhelming strength or utterly vicious and ruthless villains.
