Chapter 53

The sudden knock at the door made Jiang Xi stiffen, and the makeup artist was also startled, thinking it was far too early.

Emerging from the bathroom, the man was bare-chested with a white bath towel loosely tied around his waist.

"I know I shouldn't have come, but I couldn't control myself. Xuxu, will you listen to my explanation? Between Yan Yan and me, it really was just the first time, and it was just an accident." He walked up to me, squatted down halfway, and said earnestly.

So many high-ranking executives of the company had already been arrested. At a time like this, everyone was in a critical phase of self-preservation, tearing at each other to save their own skins. If they could drag someone down with them, they would, and no one would let go.

"Boss, what should we do then?" Jia Jing knew that he and Duan Tianqing were now grasshoppers on the same vine, and believed Duan Tianqing would no longer hold back against him.

That's right, the death of the monsters all around dropped a large number of items. Some of these were goods sold in stores, some were items sold by mysterious merchants, and others were crafting materials for medicines and equipment. In short, there was a vast abundance of them.

After finishing my statement, I was helped into the car like a boneless shrimp. Honestly, if my face had truly been disfigured, I would rather have died. The more I thought about this incident, the more terrified and frightened I became.

Unconsciously, tears streamed down my face, and my body trembled involuntarily. Xu Xiangnan wrapped his arms tightly around me, and right before my eyes, my father was pulled out of the car and loaded directly onto the ambulance.

Those who had previously mocked Yan Qiang for being foolish were now dumbfounded. They had never expected such an outcome, and seeing it with their own eyes, they truly found it hard to believe.

Lu Qi began to adjust his emotional state. With each inhalation and exhalation, his breathing gradually returned to steady, and his thoughts began to settle. He reconsidered the situation: since this path was unfeasible, it would be better to give it a try.

Zhang Fei had activated his attributes again, fortunately without affecting himself, Xue Rengui thought with a momentary sense of relief.

"This..." Xu Maogong felt it was entirely inappropriate for Xue Rengui to alter the military deployment based solely on his own intuition. However, recalling the maturity Xue Rengui had previously displayed, Xu Maogong thought it over carefully and withheld his dissuading words.

You must know that whistling arrows were native only to the Central Plains and did not circulate in Jingnan, where they had never been seen before. Naturally, they found it hard to believe.

They were also among the first to learn that the modification factory had come back to life, yet they remained full of suspicion regarding the modified items produced by the factory.

"My lord, what has happened?" At that moment, noticing that the entire army had turned around and was hurrying along the road, Xu Maogong approached Xue Rengui and asked.

The meeting place agreed upon by Qimin was thirty miles away from both armies, an open and boundless expanse free of mountains and trees to obscure the view, demonstrating the sincerity of the negotiations.

"How is this place?" Facing Lu Lu, Lu Qi spread his arms, walking backward as he spoke.

"The rest are to be bestowed upon the Imperial Noble Consort." With that, he walked over to the large bronze mirror to adjust his attire and hat before striding proudly toward the imperial court.

"Seeing that tonight's night sky was clear and bright, I wished to take a stroll, but unexpectedly it began to snow, which delayed my time for returning to camp. I must ask big brother not to blame me." Having spoken, An Ruiqi smiled apologetically at the group.

Such a piercing sword qi had only managed to leave a shallow cut on Lin Shan's arm, making it clear that Lin Shan's physical strength far exceeded Wu Sheng's expectations.

Sturdy fortresses are mostly breached from within. When the God-Extinguishing Golden Thunder detonated inside the moonlight crystal pillar, it instantly shattered the pillar, which had been condensed from countless moon-essence energies, into pieces.

A bitter smile appeared on Zhize's face as he handed the crumpled piece of paper in his hand toward me. Taking it with a mixture of doubt and hesitation, I looked at it and instantly felt as if the sky were collapsing.

Old man Zhou covered his face and turned his head aside, truly unable to bear watching any further. Feeling a sense of guilt toward Xiao Fan, his current position was extremely awkward, and helping either side would be wrong.

Therefore, Li Jing followed the Blood Glazed Lily and flew for three days and three nights before finally arriving at this peculiar location nestled within the cosmic void.

"Since you have left, you are no longer a maid of the Ning Estate," Zhan Long reminded her, having perceived her hesitation.

President Lin was extremely grateful. Following the acupuncture session, he felt his entire body lightened, as if he possessed an inexhaustible surge of energy.

"This is my... mother," Zhan Long said, forcing out the final two words, his expression lacking its usual composure.

The heavenly martial powerhouses high above were the same, standing up one after another and fixing their gazes firmly on the peerless and invincible Ye Tian, their eyes filled with shock.

Yet Ye Xuan's pause still made the Black and White Impermanence sense something was amiss. Although the two of them were somewhat muddled in their wits, the work experience accumulated over countless ages instantly made them alert.

"Where did you hear this melody?" In truth, even if Conan hadn't brought it up proactively, Kihara Ryo intended to ask anyway.

However, Taki's thought was destined to be wishful thinking, for right before his eyes, space slowly tore apart, and Yang Chi's figure materialized inside the restaurant where he was.

Judging by his intent, he likely planned to wait for the elders of the Yan family to return before paying a personal visit.

Mingzhu nodded. "There was an incident twenty years ago. Once the pearl clam went missing, it was never found again." Rising in her mind at this moment was the white porcelain Mazu statue presented by Mr. Xie, hidden away in a secret compartment beneath the bed of her current boudoir.

When the Xiaoyao Sword Sect was in crisis, the Lingxu Cave Heaven had not extended a helping hand. Now that they came to visit, who would care for them anymore?
