Chapter 53

Chen Tie himself felt it made no sense, and even if he tried to explain, Mo Di and the others probably wouldn't believe him anyway, so he simply couldn't be bothered to explain.

"Is that so?" Although it was phrased as a question, coming from the man's mouth, it inexplicably sent a chill down one's spine.

David and Pete wanted to kill him, and Fu Wenzhou had just asked how to kill him. David could not die, and Fu Wenzhou could not die either. Pete was protected by David, so no one could kill him.

With a final sigh, he turned his head away somewhat unnaturally, retrieved a black bundle from the side, and shoved it directly into Shen Ningxuan's arms.

She always put on a lofty airs as if nothing had anything to do with her. Could it be that he, too, was a dispensable existence to Zhao Qingluo?

Tang Mo forced Bai Ruoyao to sever his own arm, thereby acquiring his ability. A pair of arms should be enough to obtain the abilities of these two people.

Having finished his instructions, the innkeeper immediately put on his signature smile. "Right this way, right this way, let's head to the quiet booth on the second floor."

"A-Ye, is there anything I can do?" Sitting here doing nothing all this time made Mu Wan feel completely useless.

Ye Lansheng's shout startled the entire Crown Prince's Mansion; the mansion, which had been quiet just moments before, instantly erupted into a commotion.

"Master, you don't need to explain, because Lady Ji might already have been killed by now. Whether we enter the Medicine Hall or not probably makes no difference, so why go in just to throw your life away?" said the ape.

Faced with the Celestial Emperor taking action personally, Lu Zexi acted as if nothing had happened, completely ignoring the fact that he was the Celestial Emperor.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Several gunshots rang out. Several gang members who had been following behind Tang Yu fell to the ground in response, while Zhou Qing also ran out from the engine room.

"Haha! I've been bored to death anyway, Brother Tang Yu, I'll be right there!!" Fran cheered and hung up the communicator.

"He's a very good person. Although his family isn't well-off, he has always shown deep care and affection for our family," Yingguang explained hastily.

Wu Rushi lifted her foot, and the next moment she appeared inside the Enlightenment Pavilion on Qiyuan Peak. The entire Qiyuan Peak was instantly enveloped by a barrier, making it impossible to enter or leave.

Currently, players in level 40 maps were extremely rare, and the local resident here, the Zhenniao, already enjoyed a very harmonious relationship with him. He didn't need to worry in the slightest about disturbing anyone or anything, bringing unnecessary trouble upon himself.

Whether it was their own Wan Tongtian, Hong Lian, and Xia Qingfeng, or the enemy's Yamato Sakito and Yun Tianlan, all of them nodded in agreement.

"Hehe, never mind then." Cai Guowei didn't press the matter further. He then stopped beside Xu Zuoyan, looked at him with greedy eyes, his throat bobbing up and down, and reached out to rest his hand on Xu Zuoyan's shoulder.

Hadn't Prince Ning already been executed? Not to mention that his head was still hanging on public display in Nanchang City before his bones were finally reduced to ashes—how could he possibly have sent assassins after him?

Under Li Chenghuan's arrangement, these summoned ranged players from the Smiling Mansion each found a concealed house with a firing aperture to serve as an attack barrier. Their hiding spots spread out in a fan shape along the inner side of the eastern city gate, waiting only for Li Chenghuan's command to launch a surprise attack.

When her roommate came back and saw Lin Xue looking glum, she assumed it was an aftereffect of being hospitalized. To cheer Lin Xue up again, the eldest roommate suggested they watch a movie for some entertainment.

Zhong Yiping pondered earnestly for a moment, analyzing how she had impulsively found her way here last night.

Zhong Yiping kept her head down eating her meal. Every now and then, when she glanced over in that direction, she could clearly see Dong Shaoyuan peering at her.

To Luo Nanyang's words, Luo Qingli had no words to refute. Yet she felt something was off.

She mainly posted her own photos online and secretly ran a fan club. Although it wasn't a shameful thing, it still felt rather bizarre.

During her free time, Shen Qingyan would take out the sketches she had brought back from the old residence and study them, seeing if there was any place that still needed improvement.

Shen Qingyan spotted him at a glance. His noble visage beneath the dark hair was etched by the light like a divine being.

Over the past half year, almost all the subordinates Lin Xue took in had joined of their own accord, which even gave Lin Xue a strange illusion.

"Don't even think about it, Erguotou is all you get." Elder Xu pointed to the two cases of Red Star Erguotou placed on the ground and said.

Bai Shan pushed the bulging envelope toward Lin Fengmu, tapping his index finger on it to signal him to see what was inside.

"Are there really martial artists who specialize in studying how to channel spiritual energy into fine cuisine?" Lengnan Huaiyun had always held Mu Sen's ugly demeanor in utter contempt. She was deeply dissatisfied with his wasteful treatment of spiritual energy and had repeatedly sneered at it. Yet, whenever delicious food was served, she never ate any less of it.

If all the assets under his name were combined with all the circulating capital from his investments, perhaps it would be enough to pay for it.

Lu Yun nodded, took the freshly brewed coffee, and sipped it while watching Black, who was still in a daze. He had always felt that Black was very special, possessing a great sense of male responsibility like a massive mountain—leaning against a mountain meant one could rest easy beneath its protection and accept its shelter.

Seeing this, the Tang soldiers behind them successively unhooked their round horse shields, held them high above their heads to protect their bodies, and charged forward bravely wave after wave despite the enemy's rain of arrows.

Qiu Xia took the iron box and casually tossed it out the window. Beyond the road was a slope leading down to a forest, and the iron box rolled down the slope straight into the woods.

Beneath the memorial archway in front of the military governor's mansion, low whispers continued, occasionally punctuated by laughter. The three of them chatted for a bit longer, and seeing that the night was growing deeper, they cupped their hands in farewell.

The seven days passed in the blink of an eye. Because Emperor Li adopted a hands-off approach regarding the matter of Qiu Xia, the Sichuan battlefield was able to adopt a protracted warfare strategy, dragging the rebel forces down completely.

He still wore the same coarse hempen clothes, tied around the middle with a thick black hemp rope. His face was lean and stubbly, but his build was robust with large hands, as if a single swing of his fist could beat an ox to death. Lu Yun believed that this paternal uncle of his would easily live another thirty to fifty years without dying.

With a single silver needle, the wound that had been gushing blood stopped bleeding immediately. It was nothing short of a miracle.
