Chapter 33

Strictly speaking, it was built on the side, and the wall on that side had no windows, so its actual impact was negligible.

Under the deliberate distortion of the facts by those with ulterior motives, these ignorant, cynical, and easily manipulated fools truly came to believe that Xiaoxiao had been trying to curry favor with the Gu family, while the Gu family had reluctantly accepted her out of necessity.

“I knew you would come!” Qin Suzhen, seated in the place of honor, wore a satisfied smile the instant she saw Yu Ling.

Once the wound on the front had been treated and her body covered in white foam, the stinging sensation lasted for a while before fading, replaced by a cool, refreshing feeling.

Yu Qing’s eyes shifted, and she nodded. “I know.” Could there be something here she was unaware of?

Even if they found a scapegoat, the fact remained that Yan Lü’s lax governance had nearly led to disaster. Unless a miracle occurred, there would certainly be no place for him to speak in court in the future.

Those words pleased Zhan Tianqiong immensely. Shi Kai had not become arrogant because of them. In this age where strength reigned supreme, that was exceedingly rare.

She placed Mu Bai’s hand upon her own soft palm over her chest, then slowly leaned in to kiss Shangguan Mubai.

The moment Fu Yuanye saw that Dong Baixue remained silent, he grew even more nervous and began explaining himself incessantly. At that moment, he was genuinely afraid. Much of the reason he had been with Dong Baixue was so that he could see—or, more accurately, have within easy reach—her social status. If Dong Baixue broke up with him in a fit of anger, he would have nothing left.

Bai Chi froze for half a second, realizing that the doorbell to his room was ringing. Without giving it much thought, he ran out wrapped in a bath towel.

Over the next several days, the group went boating on the lake again and took part in outdoor activities such as cycling around Greenfield Bay.

“No way. He wants to summon flying saucers and aliens, yet he can’t even handle this little bit of psychological stress?” Lei Ao said.

Bai Chi opened the office door directly and rushed over to Shen Yanbo. His expression was somewhat awkward, and his dark eyes stared fixedly at the boxed lunch on the desk, half of which Shen Yanbo had already eaten.

Shen Yanbo’s words, “Everyone, you’ve worked hard,” truly left everyone stunned. Good heavens—was it about to rain red?

Snow drifted down throughout the night, covering every branch and tree in a veil of white. At the first hint of dawn, golden light shone across the snowy ground, sparkling with a brilliance as crystalline and dazzling as the stars.

Ye Bai waited until the other side had hung up before ending the call himself. Then he sent Ye Weiyang a message on Didi: Thanks, Brother Ye. It’s done.

Sure enough, once they arrived at the Prime Minister’s residence, Shen Ruoshui and Mu Junsheng both put on distinctly unwelcoming expressions. Mu Junsheng in particular looked at Mu Xuefu with such a sinister gaze that it seemed he wanted to kill her on the spot. When sworn enemies meet, their eyes burn with hatred—that was precisely the situation.

At that moment, Qian Yun looked toward the people from the Greedy Wolf Court, only to find that they did not seem worried at all. They appeared to be standing aloof, as though the matter had nothing to do with them.

Lin Zhixiao deliberately emphasized the words “the two of them,” even raising his right index and middle fingers in a V sign. His purpose was to steer everyone’s attention toward the fact that, when together, the two of them could freely do whatever she liked.

As he spoke, Jiang Chen’s Celestial Universe Ring flashed, and a white mask appeared in his hand. He fastened it over his face, then took out another one for Liu Tianli and handed it to him.

The night was utterly silent. Suddenly, the radiance around Xia Zixuan drew inward, and the divine halo behind him gradually faded. Then his eyes opened, shooting out two sharp beams that streaked through the void like flashes of lightning.

Lin Zhiyong had disappeared for most of the day, and Lin Zhixiao ended up forgetting Lin Cheng’s lunch.

Lin Tian put away the equipment. Since earlier, he had killed countless monsters, including one low-level lord and one mid-level lord, and had obtained quite a haul. Although he had acquired only one blue item—a submachine gun—there were plenty of white items, a full thirty pieces in all. They came in every variety, and Lin Tian tossed them all into the Greedy Wolf Ring.

She knew that Lu Feng cultivated an Origin that was exceedingly rare throughout the ages. She even suspected that he was an ancient relic who had survived from the Age of Origins. If he were willing to guide them, it would be of immense benefit to the Quan family, which was declining day by day under the Zheng family’s suppression.

“I am myself—the creator of the Eight-Gate Hell Diagram, Zhao Yuan, Zhao Shanchang!”

An upright-looking old man dressed in ancient robes appeared before Xu Yang. Xu Yang was dumbfounded. What the hell was going on? Had he seen a ghost—or a ghost that had been dead for a thousand years? This was absurd.

When Chen Ling saw the white horse, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly sprinted toward it. The people present then witnessed an utterly astonishing scene.

Everyone who saw this scene was seized by inexplicable fear, because no one knew what had happened within the great formation.

Before he realized it, he had already supported her a considerable distance away. It turned out that the cavern was long and narrow, and that it led to another cavern. Then the two of them discovered a passageway.

Hua Qiange withdrew the gaze she had been directing at He Xiao. What concerned her most now was what he was about to say.

“Do you remember Prince Yu’s residence, where you went at the very beginning? The people from that palace came to me today to demand that I hand you over!”

Hua Qiange spoke with extreme urgency, as though the sky itself were about to collapse.

Otherwise, Gu Fan really would have been completely entangled in alchemy. Where would he have found the leisure to go to school?

“That was then. Look at how spoiled and willful she is now—how could you compare it to the mischievousness you described?”

Sun Yan shrugged, his face filled with helplessness.

“Don’t mention it.” Zhen Fei had little fondness for Zhao Qinzhong. Whatever else one might say, Zhao Qinzhong had betrayed his sect and was wanted by it. His character had been thoroughly compromised.

The old man reached down and clasped his toes, an angry expression spreading across his face. Then he forcefully set his foot down. With a creak, the floorboards, unable to bear the weight, let out a mournful groan and sagged slightly, cracks spreading all around them.
