Chapter 50: Study

Mu Huayin secretly observed every single expression of Xia Yichen, fully preparing herself to drop to her knees and plead for forgiveness the moment the Emperor showed the slightest sign of anger. Her current appearance resembled a startled bird frightened by the mere twang of a bowstring, making it clear that her wits had been thoroughly frightened out of her last night.

Zhang Chengqian’s single declaration of "I believe it" left everyone stunned. They all stared blankly and perplexedly at the head of the family, waiting for an explanation.

Ruize glanced at the man before him and stepped forward to block Ye Qingluo's path, his gaze sharp. What kind of tone was that?!

Zhaoge was truly not a peaceful place! He was just about to teach the leader of the guards a lesson, but before he could act, a pair of chopsticks came hurtling through the air, striking the guard leader squarely on the head with a swift thud.

Murong Qi paid her no mind. Seeing that he had no further intentions and was merely focused on drinking, the nervous knot in Ye Qingluo's heart slowly began to untie.

"This... Elder brother, should we call him Great King, or Royal Father?" Yin Hong was stunned by the sight before him, and feeling somewhat flustered, he whispered to his older brother beside him.

The two of them were led into a private room on the third floor. He walked over to the window and surveyed the scene outside.

After more than an hour, the thirty-six Dao patterns had been forged into the shape of a cloud dripping with raindrops.

"Brother Yuanyou, don't worry. I told them I was just going out for a walk and some fresh air. I always go out for walks anyway," Cuirou made a reassuring gesture and said.

Of course, had Lin Pei's behavior not been thoroughly obnoxious, they would not have resorted to intimidation tactics to scare her.

Gong Wei let out a cold sneer, extended his left arm to wrap around her waist, and thrust his right hand directly up her trouser leg to grope downwards.

Therefore, even Gong Wei only knew that Mu Chuan possessed exceptionally sharp hearing, and remained entirely unaware of the specific origins and details of the auditory cultivation technique he practiced.

The five Japanese judges said nothing aloud, but all their inner thoughts were clearly written across their faces.

Li Zheng was quite pleased with Prince Min's proposal, but being accustomed to following Li Yuan's arrangements in all matters and not daring to make arbitrary decisions on his own, he had specifically come to consult with Li Yuan.

Ever since Prince Shun and Li Yuan began jointly managing state affairs a year ago, Prince Shun had moved back to the palace he had originally inhabited as an imperial prince, all for the convenience of discussing matters. Fortunately, Ji Ying's inner palace was completely clean, and with the sole Empress's whereabouts remaining unknown, there was no need to worry about any unfavorable rumors spreading.

"Are you tired?" Sima asked with a gaze of ice-blue eyes brimming with intoxicating tenderness, voicing his concern.

"In other words, had I not changed sedan chairs on the way back, I would certainly have met with disaster." Yao Luoluo stroked her lower belly. This was an attempt to take both her life and her child's in one go—what a vicious and ruthless scheme.

Many of the houses in Rihe Village had mud-brick walls mixed with weeds, and roofs thatched with grass, offering exceptionally poor thermal insulation.

The Bloody Reaper was thus defeated. Two pieces of equipment and over a dozen copper coins floated on the ground, and Li Chen called Sweet and Sour Milk Tea over in the party channel.

Before leaving, she exercised extra caution and deliberately locked the main gate, even leaving a pigskin hanging out to dry in the courtyard.

One must realize that all modern cities were equipped with surveillance cameras. If this person appeared within the frame of any camera, it would undoubtedly be detected within the shortest possible time.

Accompanied by a sharp screech of weapons rubbing against each other, the Englishman did not diminish his force, yet he clearly froze for a moment.

Mingchuan personally escorted Leng Xi home before getting back into his car and driving toward the direction of the ruins.

The old man sported a bulbous, red nose and looked disheveled and unkempt, much like a beggar, while still clutching a wine gourd in his hand.

Ever since she had dragged her suitcase to find him back in Taohua Village, from that very moment onward, no one could ever compare to being better than Su Can.

Therefore, after fetching water in the pantry, she purposely sought out a dirty and stinking cleaning rag from the janitor just to deliberately disgust her.

Although it might not necessarily have been the work of the patrol team, it was definitely inseparable from them. Perhaps Anling and his companions had intentionally leaked the information that these cultivators had failed to pay their spiritual stones.

"Fine, but you have to help me ask for leave," Gu Feier said, hugging Huo Sixuan tightly and acting coquettishly.

"You should eat something yourself, too," Shen Wei said, drawing a breath as she spoke to Xia Ruoxin. Spending a long time around a sick person meant no one could be certain whether they might be infected.

"I always feel something isn't right." Chu Yi suddenly frowned, sniffing the scent of blood lingering in the air, a flash of shrewd wisdom shooting through his pupils.

Hearing her mother's words, Li Ruxue finally realized what her mother had truly been thinking all these years in the depths of her heart.

"Young Master, you seem somewhat unfamiliar with the Qin Clan?" the man in black armor asked with a hint of confusion.

I smiled back at him. His reaction clearly indicated that he held special feelings for Linda. He was hiding it from me. Yet since he was unwilling to speak of it, I had no desire to pursue the matter further.

Guo Hao's divine power evoked a sense of intangible momentum in everyone around him, as if a whole world had materialized beneath his palm, with the power of the entire universe serving his command as he struck toward the Dao diagram.

"Tell your Sect Master to come and see me," Chu Yi said indifferently. Only after he withdrew the Star Sword back into his body did the surrounding crowd feel the oppressive weight lift from them.

As he circulated the Heaven-And-Earth Stars Art within his body, an endless stream of boundless power surged from the void, empowering Chu Yi until every single pore on his body emitted a radiant glow, and the overflowing vital Qi surged like a true dragon.

Seeing the three bloody figures about to descend upon them, and knowing the vicious and destructive might of such blood demons, the two of them would likely have all their lifeblood and physical essence drained in an instant, reducing them to withered corpses.

The more relaxed Lian Danyue appeared, the heavier Du Yusheng's heart sank. He valued brotherhood above all else and truly loathed to acknowledge the fact that his sworn brothers had betrayed him.

Shopkeeper Sun supported Secretary Song, while Zhao Wu held an umbrella behind them, escorting Secretary Song back to his residence behind the prefectural yamen. An elderly servant in his fifties opened the door, and Shopkeeper Sun helped him inside, assisting the old servant in settling Secretary Song comfortably before returning to Zhiteng Residence with Zhao Wu.

At that moment, the surrounding aura froze stiff, and subsequently, numerous cultivators emerged onto the scene, virtually all of them belonging to the elite of the mortal realm.

As Huo Chen launched his second wave of offense against her, Mu Wanqing's body was no longer so rigid; indeed, there was even a hint of compliance in her posture.

This matter did not require Yuan Haipeng's personal intervention, as naturally there were designated individuals responsible for it. That afternoon, Du Yusheng wore a long gown and a bowler hat, while Yuan Haipeng was dressed in a Western suit and leather shoes, and together they received the jittery and anxious group of creditors.

"A First-Step Great Emperor." Ji Yuchen, who had been meditating with closed eyes, suddenly snapped them open and looked toward the direction of the Ten-Directions Hall.
