Volume 1, Chapter 152: Ulterior Motives

Lu Jingyan's words were like a venomous dagger, precisely plunging into Lu Ye's most unspeakable sore spot.

The spiritual spring contained dense spiritual energy that, upon splashing onto the stone puppet, instantly poured into the array patterns.

Lu Sinian's expression shifted slightly, and just as he was about to say something to defend Su Jian, Su Jian reached out and secretly tugged at his sleeve, shaking her head at him.

The moment she remembered that among the people she had offended, a few seemed to be "Level 5 Commoners," half of her confidence collapsed instantly. She began to secretly ponder whether she should swallow her pride and apologize once she got back... After all, she was a businesswoman... and harmony brings wealth, right?

Yinyu entered the room and stood behind her. She could vaguely see his reflection in the mirror, yet she still had no inclination to speak with him. She kept gazing into the mirror, remaining utterly silent.

The two shook their heads to indicate they were fine. Just as the three of them were about to leave, a streak of golden light descended from the sky and appeared before them. As the golden light dissipated, Yin Tianyu saw that the newcomer was none other than Hua Yuebai, the Master of the Golden Luan Sect.

"I wasn't supposed to know, but hey, who told me to overhear it?" A smug look appeared on Shen Yuntang's face as he shared the information he had gathered with his companions one by one.

Therefore, she mentally noted this matter, intending to log out of the game after a week and ask her father to clear it up.

Although Xiahou Ling had an astonishing appetite, her figure was slender and not the least bit fat. Her features were delicate yet cold and aloof, giving off an untouchable, icy vibe.

If he could hold absolute power in his hands like Lu Sinian, he would not have fallen into such a passive predicament.

Practitioners with Earth-attribute affinity experience a 100% increase in cultivation speed, with an unstable, potential increase in the likelihood of comprehending Earth-attribute skills.

The company had specially hired several personal bodyguards for Yang An, so now, apart from Lin Xifan, four tall, burly men in black suits and sunglasses followed closely behind the group.

"Punishment?" Tantai Mingyue asked with a hint of suspicion. As long as they didn't intend to harm or violate her, she was already quite satisfied. As for punishment? She honestly hadn't even thought about it, though she truly had intended to kill them just moments ago.

Lin Xifan looked at the crew member whose name was Zhang Bin. He was in charge of props and considered a veteran on the set. Speaking to Lin Xifan in this manner was essentially just venting his frustrations.

It might look like you're saving money on the surface, but businessmen value profit above all else. In reality, such trial operations are filled with traps designed to fleece people.

Seeming to sense the fury of Glory, the Lord of Light, the other deities fell into a heavy silence.

"Ying'er said I might reap unexpected benefits. I wonder if I've gained any." After quietly observing for a moment, Xu Zhe's gaze fell back upon the Spirit-Binding Stone.

That night, aided by the spiritual energy emanating from the two spirit stones, Wei Yan could feel his body steadily evolving forward step by step.

Gu Xiaobei sat blankly on the bed, her gaze fixed vacantly on the moonlight outside the window. By now, she was almost certain that Li Haonan, and indeed everyone else, was keeping something from her. These hidden matters were undoubtedly related to her, and perhaps even harbored a colossal secret.

Watching her husband die, followed successively by the deaths of her two sons, Wang Zhicheng's wife fainted on the spot in grief, throwing the funeral scene into complete chaos.

Looking at this obnoxious old man, Lin Xifan truly longed to march up, grab him by the beard, and give him a fierce beating. How on earth had he offended this man? Why was he even being scolded for choosing money? What was wrong with wanting money? With money, you could buy whatever you desired. How did wanting money make one vulgar?
