Chapter 44: Two Groomsmen: One Blind Man, One Bodyguard
With someone making such a fool of themselves, no one else dared to stick their neck out afterward.
Those who had previously intended to target Song Miaoke deliberately also dismissed the thought.
Song Miaoke had grown much tougher than before, refusing to spare them an ounce of face. Perhaps she felt her position was now secure, which was why she had become so unyielding.
This was hardly good news for them, but they no longer had the courage to step forward and provoke her.
At that moment, deep in Song Miaoke's heart—
She was unwilling to accept this, truly unwilling. Xiao Shuyue lunged fiercely, piercing one of the monster's right eyes, while Xuanyuan Qing simultaneously struck its left eye.
"The decennial clan assembly arrived amidst great anticipation, yet the ultimate outcome plunged the entire Lin family into the depths of an abyss."
"Is that the rabbit that sent over a hundred people to Mauritius and sliced off Lu Tao's bird?" someone nearby gasped, drawing in a sharp breath of cold air.
Because the boss kept flip-flopping—first claiming that number five had been killed by Li Rong, and then rambling on about something else regarding number five—their heads were about to split from the confusion.
By now, Jiang Ning had also become infamous. In City X, everyone knew about this rabbit who walked all over both the underworld and the legitimate world, behaved maliciously, stopped at nothing, had a hide as thick as armor, and possessed all sorts of creative ways to torment people.
This was a good thing. As long as Sun Wukong came to invite them, both the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist realm would eagerly step in, as there was merit to be gained.
Mingyue gently shook her head, while Xiao Shuyue shed tears. To be honest, Lan Shen had never seen Xiao Shuyue cry before. Back when Mammy Rong had left, only Xuanyuan Qing had witnessed Xiao Shuyue weeping, but now... she was crying over Mingyue, which left Lan Shen feeling somewhat slightly astonished.
Arriving outside Gu Yan's ward, Xiao Yuzhu was just seeing off the examining doctor with a grateful smile on her face. Noticing them, she nodded and smiled in greeting.
Ever since Chen Beixuan had been crushed by Xu Qian, he had vanished for a while. Some netizens joked that he had transmigrated into a Xianxia world and eventually become the Venerable Immortal Beixuan.
Qingming, I both envy and pity him: I envy him because you are destined to be his, and no one can ever take you away; I pity him because the road between you and him is always fraught with obstacles, rejected by conventional society. Yet with Qingming's talent and perseverance, he will pull through—of that, I am firmly convinced.
"What?" The black man hadn't caught a word of what Xiao Rulan said; or rather, he hadn't bothered to listen at all. At that moment, he was basking in the gazes of the people around him, entirely unconcerned whether those looks held anger or contempt. As long as someone was looking at him, he felt great.
Ye Hua trailed behind the group of passerby players as they walked out of the city and into a leveling zone, where they began fighting monsters to grind experience. Ye Hua intended to wait until they scattered before finding an opportunity to approach the various warriors suspected of being Passerby Ding one by one, just to see which of them was the real Passerby Ding.
The "Deflecting Shield" hovered in front of Ye Hua like a translucent mirror. By this time, the magical energy of the "Finger of Death" had been exhausted, yet the unicorn's white ray continued forward with undiminished momentum to strike Ye Hua.
Hearing Xiuyao's introduction, his heart gave a sudden, violent leap straight up into his throat, almost jumping out of his mouth.
"It doesn't matter, Ming," Zhang Wan said with a smile, looking into his weary eyes as they brightened once more.
Liang Luo excitedly poked her head out of the carriage window, screaming as if she longed to thrust her entire body outside.
When Han Xingke sat down beside her, Ouyang Suwen's heart finally settled: this made three against four. Fortunately, the disparity wasn't too great, and with her own methods, she would certainly not be suppressed by Consort Chen's faction.
The law cannot punish the masses! Everyone continued to smile, trying to stretch out this joyful moment for as long as possible, while occasionally casting stealthy glances at the changes in the tyrannical headmaster's expression.
Qin Mingzhu's status now rivaled that of an empress; who dared to treat her with neglect? The moment her voice fell, someone stepped forward to carry Fuyun Xi away.
