Chapter 56: Grab It Fast, Gone in a Flash

"Greetings, Mr. Ying." Cheng Yingxue bowed respectfully with cupped hands. Remembering Ying Wufeng's true age, she looked at the cyan-robed young man opposite her with an even deeper sense of awe.

Ying Wufeng was utterly bewildered by the young girl's inexplicably solemn expression. Fortunately, he had not forgotten the purpose of his visit, so he merely smiled and nodded at the master and disciple: "You are too polite, Miss Cheng."

"By the way, Changleng, I just heard you say... that you took this—"

It was widely said that the young master of the Mu family had a most peculiar temperament and was best left alone, yet Li Luosheng had given him a merciless mocking.

The forces under Bai Fang were all elite martial artists, attacking in two groups from the front and the rear. However, facing the obstruction posed by Boss Ma at the front and Mute Second Brother at the rear, their offensive was severely hindered and progressed slowly. Even those who managed to break through their iron-wall-like defense were no match for Tuoba Shiruo.

Recalling it now, perhaps her transmigration into this world was truly a form of karmic retribution; after all, a month ago, unable to endure the harassment of a friend, she had carelessly divulged the secrets of heaven.

Looking up, she could faintly discern by the moonlight a considerable number of disciples guarding both ends of the iron chain bridge leading to Sword-Debating Peak, with a few disciples patrolling the bridge itself.

Thinking back now, if she hadn't been fond of Nangong Lin, perhaps the two of them would have been together long ago, and perhaps he wouldn't have entered the entertainment industry.

At this moment, there were two other tables of guests in the restaurant. Clearly, ever since Gu Qing and his companions had dined here last time, the business of the Red Pine Restaurant had improved quite a bit compared to before.

"Who are you? To actually be able to make Rui Hansheng turn traitor." Zheng Jungu was on full alert, and not knowing the newcomer's background, he did not dare to make a rash move.

"Are you going to walk on your own, or do you want me to carry you?" Feng Junmo's face was dark, his eyes flashing with unmistakable threat.

This marriage had been insisted upon by Wu Jianren himself. As for Gu Qing, he was extremely satisfied with her, so naturally he was reluctant to call off the engagement just like that.

Yu Ziqi exchanged a meaningful look with Xiang Yu, signaling him. Xiang Yu thought to himself that back then, precisely because he had failed to heed the wise advice of Father Fan and Chen Ping, and failed to retain talented individuals, he had been driven to today's desperate plight. At this critical juncture, he must never repeat that mistake and must learn from past lessons.

When Chen Yi reached level 80, a truly massive event did indeed trigger: a siege battle to annihilate a dark faction's city in exchange for a City Establishment Token. All participants were players, with not a single NPC soldier joining in.

The man smiled and yielded his seat to the customer who had spoken to him, long accustomed to such occurrences, as patrons occasionally made requests of this sort.

Of course, to the merchants who were completely kept in the dark, the rosy prospects Huey painted for them were already more than enough to set everyone's hearts racing with excitement.

"Then do your best. Everyone, let's go attend to our respective tasks." Chen Yi retrieved a return item to teleport back, and then headed toward the location of the city lord.

If anyone other than Tianjing had witnessed this scene, they would undoubtedly have been struck pale with fright, unable to understand why—given that they had won a great victory, and even Xie Wuhua had surrendered prostrate before the emperor's horse—the personal attendant of the Princess of Tianjing was not feeling proud or triumphant for her mistress, but instead, driven by some despairing thought, was attempting to leap from the city walls to end her life.

If Xun'er could marry Shangguan, that would also be quite wonderful; I truly hope they can end up together.

"As a mage, to possess such exquisite footwork—this seemingly conflicts with the intelligence reports we previously obtained..." Toyotomi Shu murmured softly.

Void Slash: ever since he had slain Ablitt and wounded Cassiel on the Fourteenth Avenue outside the Lanya Grand Theater, this unique spatial-shifting ability had become Huey's signature move.

"Get lost! Wipe that shameless grin off your face, or else I won't be able to stop myself from roasting you until you're well-done!" Hal roared angrily. This leering Gargamel was simply too much for him to bear.

When the carriage finally came to a stop and his family members invited him to step down, Lu Zhen still had not come up with a proper strategy, and in the end, he could only comfort himself with the thought: "I'll discuss it with them in a couple of days and decide then," just to get it over with.
