Lin Shiyu naturally understood the meaning behind Ye Chen’s words. Her face suddenly flushed scarlet, a rosy blush spreading across her cheeks as she looked coldly at him.

Thinking of the jade-clad figure who was still inside the palace and knew nothing of the matter, and recalling that she had secretly brought her back to Chang’an, making them both criminals under sentence, Xiao Jiangyuan composed herself. Remembering Li Longji’s earlier concerns about the Prince Xiang Residence, she lifted her eyes and glanced toward Qianling Mausoleum.

At Princess Yuzhen’s suggestion, Li Longji ordered a banquet to be held beside Qujiang Lake after the palace examination results were announced, to entertain the newly successful candidates. He even planned to attend in person, sharing the people’s enjoyment and witnessing the talents of the young scholars.

Everyone trembled in shock as they stared at Aotian. Only then did they realize that they had vastly underestimated him—what formidable strength, and what exquisite control.

Most of the members of the Shrek Aerospace Research Project were young teachers and students. After all, it was not easy for older soul masters to change their ways of thinking.

Seeing Lang Muoluo punched out of the elevator by Wu Yang, the others ferociously charged at him. Some wielded knives, others electric batons. None carried guns yet, since their orders were to capture him alive.

Huo Yuhao’s face was covered in dark lines. He suddenly felt that he should have stopped his second brother the moment he proposed becoming the commentator.

Qiao Feng’s martial arts truly deserved to be called the strongest among the three. Before him, Xiao Yuanshan could no longer display any advantage at all; he was even faintly suppressed by Qiao Feng.

Then they remembered the torment they had inflicted on the Celestial Mountain Child these past few days. Now that they had fallen into her hands, once she recovered, given her temperament, they would probably find it difficult even to die.

“Uncle… Uncle, I… I know that Ye Kaicheng and I aren’t very… very well matched…”

In the end, Xu Zuoyan felt that he had to speak first, if only to fight for a chance. Yet the moment he opened his mouth, merely saying those words had already broken his heart twice.

“Fengxiao?”

Dong Zhuo once again felt that his head was no longer large enough to contain everything. First Jia Xu, then Li Ru, and now even Guo Jia had appeared. Could someone else still pop up to deceive him? Gu Yong? Zhong Yao?

“Hmph. We’ll know once we catch them,” Duan Tianqing said coldly, a chilling light in his eyes. His task now was to find the assassins. He turned and left to search for the Blooddrop Men, determined to locate Yu Sheng and the other four as soon as possible.

After a succession of incidents, Ma Qi was utterly exhausted. Chen Tuo had caused all of it. When he reached Chen Tuo’s home, he discovered that Chen Tuo was barely alive and showed no signs of life. Coming to his senses, Ma Qi immediately called for help and went straight to Lu Ailin.

If possible, she truly hoped her son would give up this opportunity so that their family could live together in peace.

The Lin matriarch had no idea what had happened. Seeing how anxious Chen Yu was—how she had even left the child and the man at home without a word—she simply nodded in agreement. Although she knew that Yu’er often acted recklessly, she also knew that the girl understood her limits. Thus, she asked no further questions, merely telling her to go without worry and promising to take care of the household with Xue’er.

In an instant, countless wisps of black energy flashed across his skin. Within moments, his formerly fair complexion had turned as black as ink. Beneath the skin, something began to writhe. Countless lumps bulged outward, trembling without pause as though they were alive.

The giant ants underground received orders once more and began to stir restlessly. They surrounded the six people in the center, baring their fangs and claws in a terrifying display.

After the servant dragged the man to the ground, he reached down and removed the hook from his belt. He fastened one end to the rope around the young man’s feet, then flung the other end over the roof beam. Clearly, he intended to hoist him up.

In Chongqing, Dai Li and Mao Renfeng had already come into direct contact. Each side held its own trump cards. Everything depended on whether Xiao Qing would confess and whether Mao Dacheng truly possessed evidence that Xiao Qing had colluded with the Communists.

Chen Nian remained utterly unconcerned. She raised her head and sealed his words with her lips. Stubbornly, she parted his robes and pressed herself against his chest, feeling the powerful, steady beat of his heart and the heat of his body. It was as though only this could prove that he was alive—and that she was alive as well.

Sang Li and Li’er had prepared their explanations long ago. Even under the aggressive questioning and interrogation of the two men, they revealed nothing suspicious. Sang Li’s originally clever and perceptive eyes were especially calm and composed, showing not the slightest trace of unease.

Bo’erduo possessed a delicate, stunning face and a graceful, shapely figure, along with a seductive air that seemed to emanate from within. Her fragile appearance would instinctively awaken a man’s desire to protect her.

“Does the Crown Prince intend to frame her?”

Tang Ying looked toward Tang Meng. A probing glimmer passed through her usually gentle eyes. How deeply was Tang Meng entangled with the Crown Prince? Even now, was she still refusing to tell the truth?

Mu Si’s table was not particularly close to the stage, yet he could tell that she was embarrassed without being stage-frightened.

She clearly had not drunk much last night, yet she had still gotten drunk. Li Lufei, who had sworn only moments ago that he would never drink again, entered the medical office once more with the unmistakable feeling of a hangover.

Liuguang and Ming Lie finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Even Rose’s usually indifferent face revealed a trace of relaxation.

Another bottle of expensive liquor flowed into Han Siyou’s stomach as easily as water. Mu Rongfeng merely shook his head from the side.

The serpent’s head shifted slightly, and the five divine beings were flung into the snow. Huai Ziyou’s ten fingers clung tightly to the enormous tongue wrapped around his waist as he raised his head and met Mu Yinchuan’s gaze.

Heh… She actually thought all his tenderness and affection were superfluous and disgusting. What more could he say? She had already fallen in love with Mu Yun. Hadn’t she sworn to him earlier that she had never liked Mu Yun?
