Chapter 54 Side Story One

However, Yang Qingyue’s side currently held the first-mover advantage, having obtained the medical formula first. As long as they could beat the Fenghua Group in researching the product and holding a press conference—

"Can't I go back—" Song Yiyi murmured to herself. Why? Could it be that she truly couldn't return?

The remaining few men had just stood up and were completely unable to react before they were sent flying backward by An Lengling’s fierce attack, not even given a split second to respond.

The conference hall lacked any elaborate decoration and appeared rather empty. Hanging on the wall in the exact center of the hall was a banner depicting a bird-like creature, and beneath that emblem sat a single chair.

Now that such a person had departed, Gu Meng felt as though her heart had been hollowed out mercilessly. Furthermore, Feng Xinci’s departure was even caused by artificial intervention. In an environment that had originally been filled with hope, people were gradually driven into a dead end, followed by utter despair where no hope could be seen ever again.

Upon hearing this, Steward Liu felt somewhat at a loss, her eyes flickering incessantly. This was in complete contradiction to what she and the mistress had pre-arranged. Lengyue’s behavior and the Prince’s indifference had completely spiraled out of control.

Looking at Lilith’s act of feigning cuteness, Gervas sneered inwardly. Would a former academy dean who mastered the core technology of spell-inscriptions truly fail to find a place to settle down?

Li Wuxin’s face instantly blushed as crimson as a ripe peach. She glared at Ling Jing, then suddenly stood on tiptoe and bit down fiercely on Ling Jing’s left shoulder.

The gang leader who spoke, Wanyan Wujin, seemed completely oblivious to the fact that they had provoked this incident, instead shifting the blame onto the Song people.

It seemed that, just as Mo Hai had said, this person was right inside their own company; otherwise, how could the computers of the entire company have suddenly malfunctioned all at once?

However, if anyone observed closely, they would notice that as the bus bobbed up and down, there appeared to be something vaguely moving on the ground near it.

Fu Xiao was slightly startled, clearly failing to understand why Wang Tiehan, who had been laughing and joking just a moment ago, had suddenly turned so solemn. However, Fu Xiao had previously heard about military demeanor from Li Maogong, so Wang Tiehan’s sudden change of expression only surprised him without causing any confusion.

"I didn't expect this stone wall to be so tall." Fengying raised her head to look up at the top of the stone wall, only to find that it connected with the barrier in the sky, soaring as if it reached into the clouds.

"Hey! I've seen you before! What was your name again? Ah right, Mo Li!" Suddenly, a shout from not far away drew Mo Li's gaze toward it.

Immortals descended from the heavens, yet no one expected it to be a mortal catastrophe. Naturally, all people of insight united to face the external threat, but the pugilistic world differed from the imperial court in that it lacked a universally respected figure to coordinate and command overall operations. This ultimately led everyone to fight their own separate battles, resulting in successive defeats.

As the final sentence was spoken, the Heavenly Heart Mark of the Third Heavenly Dao Universe instantly flashed with a brilliant seven-colored light, transforming into a streak of light that swiftly pierced into Xin'er's glabella, disappearing completely.

Passing through a three-mile-long scenic corridor flanked by dense, orderly rows of hedge walls that resembled a maze, Li Muye relied on his hearing, the tactile feedback of the wind, and his keen sense of smell to clearly perceive the security personnel hidden in those unseen corners.

Lu Yun seemed to snap out of a trance all of a sudden, then looked warily at Lei Xiu and the others before him.

Lei Xiu marched at the very front as the vanguard, closely followed by Irene. Kongyun and Rion entered the ghost cave right behind them, and Shen Liang entered alongside them shortly after.

Sang Ruo’s current abilities were primarily driven by the materialized buff of the sheepskin parchment. This buff turned Sang Ruo’s otherwise illusory nightmare clone into reality. If he could possess this ability directly on his own, he could roam freely anywhere and everywhere relying on his nightmare clone.

Xia Yi leaned back slightly in the sofa and waved his hand dismissively, signaling Zhou锦 and the others not to act rashly.

Guan Zijian was a buddy after all, and he understood Long Jianfei quite well, but this was a headquarters operation; they couldn't possibly drag innocent ordinary civilians into doing such a thing.

Feng Tao had already reached the doorway, but upon seeing Changfeng and Qi Nantian, he didn't enter immediately. Only after the introductions were complete did he dare to step into the room and greet everyone.

As a medical student, he naturally refused to believe in such superstitious nonsense, but for some reason, whenever he recalled the words Li 雪琪 had spoken, a sense of panic arose unbidden in his heart.

For instance, those who experienced a sudden, massive surge of inner strength after employing a secret technique could only maintain it for the duration of a single incense stick. Once that time passed, they would either die or suffer severe injuries, and even if they miraculously survived, crawling out of bed within three to five years was entirely out of the question.

At an altitude one hundred meters above the old shelter, Xiao Jing decided to build their new sanctuary right here.

Savi walked over, picked up this refreshingly unpretentious kitchen knife, and tested it against his teeth, "crunch," biting a fist-sized indentation right into it.

"Qin Chen, why are you so ungrateful? Do you have any idea how much effort Yuruo has spent on you?" Xi Jiaying, standing nearby, could no longer watch and joined the ranks of those denouncing Qin Chen.

The Phoenix had charged out, and those palace guards were clearly unable to stop her. However, Xiao Feng did not make a move, and naturally, the brothers also knew a little bit of the inside information, so none of them stopped her either.

Instigating Uncle Fang to go south to find manual labor was Fang Yan’s own idea, carried out after consulting with Han Lin.

After all, the strength of the younger generation could only reach so far. As long as senior family members were present on the side, even if the youths fought desperately, there was still a strong chance to intervene and stop them.

Diamond slammed a palm against the back of his son's head. "Are you out of your mind? There's no way you should talk about your mother like that." Yet a smile hung at the corners of his mouth, making it clear that he was rather proud of his prowess in that regard.

Lin Zifeng awkwardly rubbed his nose and turned his head, only to find Wenren Ruoxue’s icy-cold, beautiful eyes fixed intently on him. Why did he suddenly feel like a husband caught in bed by his wife?

"What did you say?" Su Jing's gloomy gaze swept over him instantly, the anger in his tone chilling enough to freeze one to the bone.

In the gloomy bushes dozens of meters behind him, a very faint rustling sound suddenly rang out. A dark figure leaped down from a tree, landing with extreme lightness on the ground. For an ordinary person, this would have been enough to scare them out of their wits on the spot, as this shadow was almost indistinguishable from the ghosts found only in the movies.
