Volume 1, Chapter 29: I’ve Got You Covered, Eldest Daughter!

"Are you aware of everything?" Jiang Yunmiao draped a shawl over her shoulders and sat before the floor-to-ceiling window.

The sunlight today was splendid and warm, offering a sense of healing. Yeye crouched obediently beside her, accepting her gentle strokes.

She replied lazily.

"I have no idea. Isn't that why I'm asking you? That brat Lu Congzhi called me yesterday to ask, and I was completely baffled." Hearing her languid tone and stable emotions, Wen Ying felt slightly relieved.

Jiang Yunmiao had guessed as much—who else but Lu Congzhi would have told her?

Wen Ying was her college classmate, and Lu Congzhi was Wen Ying's cousin. Back in university, so that her mother wouldn't have to work so hard...

Xiao Guo felt deeply confused. Ye Zhengyang seemed to know a great deal about the affairs of the Human King Clan, yet he truly did not know the reason why, so he shook his head immediately.

However, the Emperor seemed to have had too much to drink today; his face was flushed, and he seemed quite out of sorts.

Although the war hammer was thrown at Zarkalut from behind, he turned with great agility to block it and swiped it aside, disarming Lu Tianxiang.

After saying this, Jun Yang’s aura suddenly surged. At this moment, Jun Yang had broken through once more. Although he was only at the third rank, third level, Isara was shocked by Jun Yang’s momentum.

The Marquis of Luo’s response was beyond everyone’s expectations; even with the Second Young Master Su paying such a high price, the Marquis remained indifferent.

Everyone shook their heads, unable to provide an explanation, as they still could not fully confirm the other party's identity.

By the way, the other team from Qiunan to advance was Xunfeng, which qualified in fifth place. This meant that both Qiunan teams had successfully entered the playoffs this year, which was undoubtedly exciting news for Qiunan fans.

This time, Chu Yun had no other choice but to give up on fighting Liu Ye for the temple and chose to return to the city.

One battalion consisted of ten thousand men: two thousand cavalry were assigned to one battalion, three thousand archers to another, two thousand spearmen to a third, and three thousand swordsmen were also designated as a battalion.

Seeing this, Gu Xiyan looked at the man beside her with amusement, and Shang Yiqi understood immediately.

***

It was near noon, and although the sun was fierce, a chilling cold seeped from the coffin, clearly indicating that malevolence was brewing.

Old Cao watched General Yang ride away into the distance, staring blankly at Ye Zhiqiu with a look of great terror.

The guard captain was carried in and placed on the ground. As soon as he was set down, he groggily opened his eyes, looked around, and once his vision cleared, he hurriedly knelt and kowtowed.

As for the other twenty-odd True Immortals, they seemed to have settled some matters with the Martial Saint and the Dao Saint during this time. Seeing the Immortal Long Yue depart, they bid farewell to Xu Jing one by one and left together.

Just as Sister-in-law Lu had said, Chen Xinghua was indeed lying on the bed looking utterly decadent, a sight that left one speechless.

"Let's switch seats," Song Shengpeng said flatly, tapping the desks of the students sitting behind Ling Tian and Hua Xiaotong.

After a thunder of hooves, the ground was instantly covered in mangled flesh and blood. The marshes were streaked with countless crimson rivulets, making it impossible to tell if they belonged to the soldiers of the Azure Sea or the forces of the Blood Clan.

Xu Jing, who had always been as calm as water, appeared incredibly agitated the moment the cyan energy showed cracks, his eyes burning with intensity.

After only a moment, the bald man’s body grew hot; he began to writhe and started a striptease.

Even though they were discussing military and political affairs, Luo Bu kept spouting numbers as if calculating high-interest loans, leaving everyone stunned.

His converted attack speed had reached 3, allowing him to swing his sword three times per second, which was not much slower than an assassin.

For three years, Lu Shishen had worked almost without a break, leaving early and returning late, braving the stars and moon, almost living at the Lu headquarters.

The two remained locked in an embrace. Beside them, the driver, Old Wu, and Tao Yiyue felt as though they were being blinded by the display.

Her complexion was no better; she dared not imagine how conflicted Jun Xiye’s heart must be at this moment.

Due to the constraints of the battlefield, the members of the Fate Pirates and the giants of Elbaf did not fight too fiercely, engaging only in a few sparring matches.

Huang Zhicheng was very familiar with the scene on the TV. It was in this very room that he had incited Mary, Han Chen's wife, to send men to kill Ni Kun, and afterward, Huang Zhicheng had even had an affair with Mary.

As for the work of gathering evidence, that was, of course, left to A-Le and Big D; they could certainly do it much better than Chui Ji.

"If you ask your brother for one thing, may I ask you for one? Come back. The Black-Robed Elder even pleaded for you just now."

It had caused her to lose face before the Old Madam and made her a laughingstock among the servants.

The Crown Prince sipped his tea leisurely, his pale purple lips curving into a handsome arc.

"There was such an incident. The creature had a pointed snout, looked like a fox, its claws and hooves were connected by a layer of skin, and it was covered in golden fur."

At this moment, among the blood-sacrificed horses, a Horse King similar in size to Tie Guang stepped out. It held its neck high, wearing the same arrogant expression as Tie Guang.

"Your Highness... an envoy from Jizhou requests an audience..." On the other side, while Liu Bei was fuming with rage, Guo Jia's voice broke the silence under the Yellow Turban commander's flag.

"Wang Fan, you go to the Guardian Temple first. I have a Chief Commander stationed there to protect it, but he can only stall for time and cannot deal with the Demon Fox," Wang Kai said.

"The waterfall is more than two miles away, but this place is private property, and the owner doesn't like outsiders disturbing them," Li Feng said, hoping to make them retreat. There was construction going on here, and there was nothing worth seeing.

The two of them wanted exactly this situation, to keep Mayor Du Tiancheng off guard. Once there was something major to be done, their private cooperation would be quite smooth. They appeared at odds on the surface but were in sync privately, as long as they could achieve their goals.

He then raised his eyes to look inside. He saw that the hall was lush with greenery. In the center of the hall, a coffin sat quietly. Countless green vines stretched out from within, as if they had come to life, constantly spreading across the floor.

But after that sentence, Frank looked at Yi Jun rather pitifully and said, "Please... go easy on me."

After Liu Ye finished speaking, he handed the receipt to Huo Cheng. When Huo Cheng saw the long string of zeros on the receipt, he was completely stunned.

"Daring to embezzle the Empress's palace allowance? Do you not wish to live?" Xiao Changque’s cold eyes were as chilling as ice. Though he spoke slowly and in a low voice, it made the listener feel as if they had fallen into an icy abyss.

It was better to have said it out loud than to keep it bottled up inside, living in constant fear and suspicion every day, worrying about when he would find out.

In the words of Nanny Fang: If the Princess didn't like the person she chose for herself, she could take a step back and seek help from the Grand Old Master; then Young Master Lin would come in handy.
