Chapter 44

"I really am Su He, Your Servant!" Su He washed away the disguise on her face with some helplessness, revealing her true appearance.

However, the language barrier was still terribly inconvenient. After all, actions and gestures could only allow for simple communication, falling short of deeper exchanges.

Both children went to see their grandfather, and Father Zhou was overjoyed. This son had finally returned with much difficulty, yet upon hearing that his son did not plan to stay here for long, Father Zhou grew somewhat displeased, though he ultimately said nothing.

Unexpectedly, it could be discerned from their vacant and murky eyes that they did not seem to have attained spiritual enlightenment.

After a while, Noble Consort Wang came over to pay her respects, holding the awakened First Prince Zhao, and the Empress Dowager ceased to bring up the matter of the Chao family.

One had to admit that as a ruler, his boldness and resolve were truly beyond the reach of ordinary men. Before stepping into the Hall of Diligent Government, Ji Jingxi had prepared himself to face a room full of high-ranking officials and had even drafted his arguments for the inevitable bickering. Yet until the end of the discussion, aside from the addition of Grand Preceptor Wen Ziqing, not a fifth person appeared inside the hall.

Yan Changlan could not help but smile, and at the same time, he listened carefully to the exchange conditions proposed by the person who had brought out the primordial spirit artifact embryo.

Having landed, Huijue could not care about anything else; he hurriedly dropped to the ground and pressed his ear against it, as if trying to listen for something.

Gongsun Yu and Hu Dongchen were quite familiar with each other, so they laughed the matter off, exchanged a few polite pleasantries, and headed upstairs.

In short, all of this boded no good for Wang Zhi, because the final outcome was something they had not anticipated. Therefore, Wang Yue knew that his father must be having a rather difficult time at the company recently.

"Why don't we just call her Great King!" Seeing that the atmosphere around us was a bit oppressive, I simply made a joke.

Chen Xi, Zhu Jiajia, Cheng Xinyi, and Yao Qiao were sitting together, while Kong Jiahan and Li Mingyuan were seated at a table on the other side. Just as Chen Xi and her friends had finished ordering their food, Chu Luoye and Zheng Xiran arrived as well—or rather, Zheng Xiran had been dragged here by Chu Luoye against her will. The two of them took seats diagonally across from Chen Xi.

Tang Jin wanted to test whether this romance watch could really release skills, but he managed to hold back. The skill named "Killing Intent" sounded immensely destructive just by its name. Since he was currently in a classroom, it would be troublesome if it caused any trouble. Moreover, wasting it like that felt a bit of a pity, so he decided to wait for another opportunity to use it.

Gongsun Yu recounted the events that had just occurred in Jing'an District, without hiding his own worries in the slightest.

"Do our human utmost, and leave the rest to fate!" Glancing at Xing Luo, who remained completely oblivious, Duan Liuwen had already silently resolved himself with this thought.

"I won't tell anyone, nobody will ever know." Ye Shuiwen helped her wipe away her tears, but the more she wiped, the more flowed.

Hai Ziyu nodded and slowly walked toward the kitchen, not daring to run again until the housekeeper's footsteps were completely out of hearing range.

"Brother, your insults really don't contain any profanity!" Yu Rou gave the handsome man a coquettish and picturesque sideways glance.

The few doctors were scolded into looking dejected by Jing Yang, raising their hands together to wipe away sweat, no longer daring to exchange even a single glance. The entire hospital ward suddenly became much quieter.

Fear gripped her heart, but she slowly began to digest the words of the medical staff little by little.

Seeing that Luo Yuling readily agreed to the rendezvous, Nangong Jin immediately stood up. He did not want to stay in this carefree palace for even another second.

Lin Shengshen's fingertips trembled slightly. She remained silent, simply raising her hand to gently pull the quilt up to cover her body.

Chu Peng had invited a few friends to drink at this bar tonight, and on his way to the restroom midway through, he caught a glimpse of Gu Lanshan at a glance.

"He just said he wanted to pass this imperial throne to me. How much of it do you think is credible?" Rong Qian changed the subject.

Night Qingcheng was about to bend down to pick up the shattered glass on the ground when she suddenly and instinctively pressed against her wildly throbbing eyelids.

Bari Youlvxi whispered gently beside her ear, terrified that the pain might cause her never to wake up again. Mother had once said that giving birth was equivalent to stepping through the gates of hell.

Hearing those words, Mu Zi'ang felt a wave of inexplicable heartache surging within him. With a fierce thrust, he drove deeply and heavily into the core of her womb.

It was neither a mountain blessed with the abundant spiritual energy of a grotto-heaven nor a mountain overgrown with spiritual herbs, nor a mountain populated by spiritual beasts, but rather a very ordinary mountain.

Hu Man bit her lip, feeling somewhat sorrowful yet knowing not how to comfort him, because there was simply no hope left.

Li Mu watched the dozens of spatial rifts drawing closer and closer to his location. He attempted to use the Seven-Color Dazzling Ring to retrieve the giant boulder in front of him, but to his dismay and helplessness, the Seven-Color Dazzling Ring could not store it at all.

Was he truly that unreliable, or were my demands too high, or were the two of us simply not suited for each other? This question plagued me all the way to the film set.

In his eyes, anyone who did not submit to the Great Emperor or obey the Great Emperor's commands, regardless of who they were, would be conquered by force without exception.

Then, during a certain motion that required spreading my arms, our hands brushed against each other and were seen by Ding Mengyang, who was walking toward us from the opposite direction. Of course, I had no idea that Ding Mengyang had seen more than I realized, so I completely failed to understand her murderous expression.

"Gong Basheng is extremely difficult to invite. People always say 'Ten taels of gold for Basheng,' and that is merely the admission fee. I've heard that not only is his singing superb, but his mastery of both the zither and the xiao flute is equally exceptional," said Jin Baodi.

"There is indeed a spatial array formation inside that tower, and the space within is much larger than what appears from the outside," Baili Yuze explained.

The third family, which was Tang Xiaoxiao's family, had the simplest family structure—Tang Qifan, Gu Shanniang, and Tang Xiaoxiao.

Gu Lanlan directed all her rage at this guard, though in truth, could she really be unaware that the true mastermind was the Seventh Elder of the Baili family?

Seeing that Nangong Xuan and Deng Tianjin both wore puzzled expressions, it was clear that neither of them had ever heard the name of True Person Tianfeng.

Li Tong analyzed that the reason they had been able to walk here safely and soundly was because the artificial intelligence program controlling everything was laying an ambush.

Ever since Daoist Cihang had left, three or four days had already passed. Logically speaking, she should have returned long ago, yet there was not the slightest trace of movement.

There once was a cripple who possessed an ancient, unmelting, icy expression. Wielding a pitch-black blade, he dyed his clothes red with blood, pointing his blade at the martial world, defying the heavens to alter his fate, and forging his own new life.

Gu Feng's body was simply like an peerless demon king who never knew fatigue. In the eyes of others, those unrivaled hundred-ton heavy punches should have been the ultimate trump card, but in Gu Feng's hands, they were as casual and effortless as eating and drinking. Just how many punches had Gu Feng thrown a moment ago?

Therefore, along this entire journey, Ling Xiao observed very carefully. Those shattered palaces, fallen corpses, and broken weapons were all meticulously examined by him.
