Chapter 54

And so, the two of them rode in that car straight back home, arriving by the fourth day. Xu Yang settled Old Tang in his own courtyard house because they still had some matters to discuss. Xu Yang had already thought it through: some of these things could be shared with Old Tang, while others had to remain strictly buried in his own heart.

A fierce collision and a dazzling brilliance once again blinded everyone's eyes. To strike a revolving light pill with another revolving light pill required extraordinary concentration, a superb tactile sense, and indispensable experience.

Feodor was adorned with magical items from head to toe, presenting the classic attire of a full-fledged mage. Not only did he wear two magic rings, but his belt, robe, shoes, and necklace were also all magical equipment.

Instinctively, she murmured his name, but before she could finish, she collapsed to the ground and fell unconscious.

Because he had already used his special ability to see what was inside, Xu Yang was filled with astonishment. Opening one of the chests, he found it to be an old-fashioned wooden box without a lock. The chest emanated a faint fragrance! It smelled wonderful, and it turned out this aroma was originating from the boxes themselves.

Nongxue gasped in a breath of cold air, feeling her damp clothes grow even colder, so frigid it felt as though the moisture would turn to ice and freeze her solid.

His frail body crossed paths with the assassin's robust frame. At the moment they intersected, the assassin, soaring mid-air, shuddered violently, and his head crashed heavily onto the ground.

However, the scene presented before Jia Yan was likewise a wasteland overgrown with weeds, the ground pockmarked with craters. Some patches of earth were stained with a layer of greenish blood, accompanied by severed limbs, broken arms, and numerous shattered mechanical parts—clear evidence that a fierce battle had just taken place here.

With a weakness held over him by Meng Tianxue, Chen Ling had no choice but to bring Meng Tianxue to the intensive care unit.

Therefore, contrary to his previous eager and desperate mindset for a breakthrough, Shaoyang now intentionally slowed down his pace. He deliberately suppressed his cultivation realm, choosing to continue honing himself at this current tier.

Qin Wu was completely immersed in her own world and maintained no vigilance toward Qin Tianjiao. Once freed, Qin Tianjiao did not immediately rush to her mother's side; seeing Qin Wu distracted, she realized this presented an excellent opportunity.

Thinking that some matters had not been fully resolved, she had set off quite early, heading straight to the airport as soon as she finished taking care of business.

With this in mind, Qin Wu went to buy some anti-nausea medication, intending to rest properly for a whole day and gather her strength, as tomorrow's competition could not afford any mistakes whatsoever.

Wang Chenli began to treat her with great politeness, placing her at the very top among the three children—at least on the surface, that was how it appeared.

Ning Lin'er looked at Luo Jun with immense trepidation, terrified that he would reject her. After all, she fully understood just how unfair such a proposal was to Luo Jun.

Sun Haodi did not blame Zhao Qing for leaving early, as he felt her actions were completely normal. To offend the Heavenly Mystery Sect just to save a total stranger, potentially dragging the entire Giant Saber Sect down with her, was a consequence she could not bear to shoulder.

I said those words to A-Biao out of sheer annoyance, which prompted A-Biao to look at me in astonishment and question me further.

Zheng Ming did not say this for any ulterior or sordid motives. He simply felt that if the other person practiced swordsmanship without clothes, the movement of her muscles would be much more direct and observable.

Pang Yunlu was puzzled. Ning Zhou could have used numerous methods to scheme against Chen Siqing, so why on earth did he choose such a labor-intensive and unrewarding approach?

Yet the problem was far from that simple. Once the coastline fully resumed operations in Dubai, a multitude of issues would arise—one after another, all deeply interconnected.

Tang Shijian understood Yu Yanxiu's psychology; she did not want the affairs of the older generation to implicate Gu Xinrui's generation. Therefore, he felt secure, believing that once he took her life, no one would ever expose his secret again.

Little did he know, just as Gu Yun'er walked timidly to his side with a pounding heart to signal him not to be angry, her gaze inadvertently swept across the phone screen. Upon seeing the image displayed there, her distinct black-and-white eyes widened in shock.

Fan Shuiqing pondered this. The return of the art catalog wasn't entirely strange; considering the elderly man's social status and prestige, it was quite normal for him to refuse gifts. However, writing an inscription on it when returning it was an entirely different matter altogether.

During the shareholders' meeting, Ning Zhou produced an authoritative appraisal report in front of all the directors, proving that the pharmaceutical enterprise managed by Ning Zhen suffered from severe issues.

Sun Shicong, Bai Tianshi, and the others exchanged glances and realized that this was indeed the case. If Wang Tian lacked such capability, Lu Fei and Fan Shuiqing would never dare to make such bold claims.

Yet, facing Shu Ning, who was still putting on airs and playing the hypocrite even now, Tang Xiuning felt nothing but disgust and impatience, because the thing he hated most in this life was being deceived and played for a fool.

Seeing Li Jing'er walk in, and casting a peripheral glance at Cao Ge sitting beside her still refusing to admit fault, Yu Yun let out a silent, gentle sigh. She thought to herself: is Cao Ge keeping his head down intentionally? Putting on a cool act? He better not enjoy a moment of treating his wife cruelly only to face a lifelong funeral procession trying to win her back.

As for the Jiangling Prefecture in the Jingnan region, which was the designated site for the alliance, the Prince of Hanzhong was even more reluctant. Protected by the Yangtze River, Jingzhou had no fear of the Prince of Shu. But if the Yangtze River were no longer a barrier, the formidable strength of the Shu army would be beyond what the Prince of Hanzhong and the Prince of Luoyang could withstand.

During daytime, even the Longevity Camp could never have launched such large-scale, frequent, and precise harassment against the Later Jin army camp. However, the dim, boundless night provided the best possible cover for the Ming army.
