Chapter 60 Exposure

Therefore, it was hardly strange that such a bar had no customers. After all, anyone with a sound mind would naturally choose a place with a better environment. When it came to drinking, mood was everything, wasn't it?

In reality, these elders, including the elder in the green robe, harbored no benevolent intentions of upholding fairness and justice. Their accusations against Liu Tianci were merely a maneuver to depose him from his position as chief elder so that someone else could take his place. The family elder council was actually fraught with undercurrents, making it a blatant power struggle.

When Beiyuan Yuan's main reinforcement force finally arrived, they naturally found no enemies. Beiyuan Yuan enjoyed an amicable relationship with the Songhua City Council, and subsequent actions such as dispelling rumors and restoring order were promptly rolled out.

Minamino Aozuki suddenly shouted, her eyes sparkling as if glowing, and strode forward.

Thanks to the joint efforts of everyone, the Crimson organization's city-siege plan failed. The city returned to tranquility, and the areas around the South and West Gates, which had suffered the worst damage, finally welcomed the long-overdue reinforcements.

He raised his palm, and wisps of golden light gathered in the center, transforming into a round, glossy medicinal pill. Intricate patterns were etched upon its surface, and a single glance was enough to tell that this pill was by no means ordinary.

That gigantic hand was covered in pale, ghostly fur and stretched endlessly into the heavens, so vast that its exposed arm alone rivaled an entire mountain ridge.

To hear them talk, it was as if this battle was somehow the fault of the British. In truth, the primary reason was simply that Xiaolin wanted to unify the North American continent. However, with their backs against the wall and their faction being the weaker side, Lin Man and the others could only complain inwardly.

Viewed from afar, the medicinal fields resembled a neatly laid-out chessboard, backed by mountains and facing the water. The air was fresh, the soil fragrant, and amidst the evening mist and the lingering heroic aura, many inner-sect disciples shuttled back and forth, holding medicinal hoes as they tended the crops themselves.

It would take time for Yang Shiqi and the others to enter the palace, and before that, Zhu Zhanji happened to have some time to discuss the leftover letters with Hu Ying. The outer and inner gates of Fengtian Gate were not ideal for this, as the areas where state affairs were handled were crowded with on-duty officials of various ranks, whereas the Palace of Heavenly Purity was populated solely by eunuch attendants.

The Lord of the Gloomy City shook his head, and two more blood-colored whips extended from his back, completely binding Chen Ji's arms and legs before he finally let out a sigh of relief and burst into wild laughter.

"Hey, darling, where are you right now?" The sweet, clinging voice coming from the other end of the phone gave Zhang Kong a sense of inexplicable familiarity, yet upon careful thought, it felt utterly alien.

The other party was clearly taken aback by her sudden, out-of-the-blue remark, leaving him speechless for a moment.

Thus, father and son remained in silence. Compared to before, Yuan Shikai's brows were now furrowed even more tightly.

Without him even having to ask, they would undoubtedly be eager to engage in all sorts of intimacy with him. And in terms of both quality and quantity, they could completely satisfy his present needs.

The Duke of Ying was a precious legacy left behind by Zhu Zhanji's paternal great-grandfather, and Zhu Zhanji had always relied heavily on him, preserving the highest standard of martial honor and status for him.

Yet Zhang Ning could not remain entirely at ease. Desire was the soul of a man, and such a thought inevitably crept into his mind. Unless one was on the verge of the grave and had grown indifferent to everything, a man without desires lacked dreams, and was bound to be nothing more than mediocre and useless.

After several days of fasting and abstaining from meat, he found that the hardest part to endure wasn't that matter at all. Having eaten vegetarian food for eight or nine days straight, his palate felt so bland it was driving him insane.

"Precisely because it belongs to Cheng Nuoyi, even if I loathe and have no use for it, I will make all of it mine. I can't be bothered to manage it, but even if I just watch these enterprises slowly rot and collapse, the mere sight of it brings me joy!" Zheng Chenheng said indifferently. Such businesses meant virtually nothing in his eyes.

Although the Huo family had also been invited to this beach party, neither Huo Tingen nor Xie Yuduo made an appearance.

The bailiff immediately stepped forward, stripped off Liu One-Eye's trousers, and delivered twenty heavy strikes squarely against his backside, landing each blow solidly—treating him to the exact same punishment his son Liu Congliang had received.

When he was merely half a meter away from the fat man, Chen Tianming suddenly leaped forward with the momentum of his run, his right hand clenched into a fist and maintaining its speed as he aimed straight for the fat man's bulky face.

Leng Yehand was just about to close in and find an opportunity to speak with Dora when his phone abruptly rang. Reluctant as he was to tear his gaze away from her figure, he had no choice but to halt his steps and answer the call.

Moreover, the era of spiritual qi revival had arrived long ago, and the higher-ups of the Heavenly Network all had varying degrees of connection with Lu Shu. When Lu Shu operated overseas, You Mingyu could practically be considered his partner, while Hao Zhichao shared a profound friendship forged with Lu Shu back in the day.

Fang Qishan took a direct hit to the chest, flipped off his horse, and upon landing, spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately lost consciousness. "Eldest Senior Brother!" Huang Ying and Lu Dahai, never expecting such a sudden turn of events, dismounted in a panic and rushed over to rescue and tend to him upon seeing Fang Qishan injured and unhorsed.

The grueling four periods of classes finally came to an end. The moment the teacher announced the end of class, Dong Lei dashed over to Chen Tianming's desk in a flash, grinning incessantly as he looked at Nangong Yu, who was seated beside him.

Of course, Inspector Chou was completely oblivious to these thoughts of the students; he was playing the role of the earnest advocate for learning with great enthusiasm.

"Haoze, he does not deserve to be with you." Hearing Li Haoze speak in such a tone filled him with deep resentment.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and a maiden stirred by love falls for a Daoist priest—truly unique indeed!" Lin Man giggled.

The Black Mysterious Turtle harbored thoughts of flight, and its fighting spirit instantly collapsed. Lan Chen and the burly man pursued it all the way, beating the turtle until it cried out in despair.

Wu Fan glanced back at the man. The fellow's lips twitched, but upon meeting Wu Fan's gaze, he lost the courage to speak.

She cast a glance at Mu Xiongfei, then looked at Han Lanzhi. If Mu Xiongfei had any genuine intention of cooperating with her, he would not have met with Han Lanzhi at the same time. He was not sincere about their partnership, and under those circumstances, seeing Ah Zuo held no further meaning.

"Does that mean your tribe is currently left without anyone guarding it? Aren't you afraid of any unexpected changes?" Ah Xiang asked calmly, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

Building upon this, once Qingzhu had largely recovered, Molan would travel to support the other three routes. Whichever group he joined, he could share their burden. It was a crazy idea, and one that no one believed Molan could actually pull off.

Especially lately, she had grown increasingly terrified of him—a terror stemming from the realization that no matter how she struggled or what schemes she devised, she could never escape the palm of his hand.

According to those people's plans, her family was bound to meet with disaster. Yielding to Liu Chengshuang would surely lead to no good outcome, so why wrong herself? It would be far better to preserve her merits and her virtue to carve out a future for herself elsewhere.
