Chapter 141: Framing

Thousands of meters beneath the surface, inside an underground chamber.

"Sister Bing, I have completed the tasks you assigned me. Do you have any further instructions?"

In the office, a dainty young girl stood before Sister Bing with a beaming smile.

Sister Bing sat in a chair to the side, her eyes dimming as she stared at a picture frame to her front left.

"Oh, right, Sister Bing, in order to accelerate the realization of the boss's plan, that man's daughter, and..."

After returning to Banjiantang, I had been waiting for the people arranged by Ye Jinglong to come find me. As for the token Ye Jinglong gave me, I had no intention of using it yet. After all, I am not Ye Jinglong; I cannot command four top-tier experts with a mere token.

She only heard her mother and grandmother say that the pair of silver bracelets the Fifth Aunt used to wear were worth at least seventeen or eighteen taels.

On the other side, Yi Ning had finished dressing the patient's wounds and began walking toward the man with the bulbous nose.

"I'm sorry..." Jiang Rou tried to hold it back, but she couldn't; she rushed out and retched in the restroom for quite a while before she could recover.

Jing Xun’s expression remained unchanged as he swept a cold glance over the soldiers surrounding him, his grip tightening on his black sword.

With that word from Ji Junjiao, the palace attendants dared not say more; they could only step aside and invite Ji Junjiao into the room.

Er Ya had been cowering in the corner like a frightened quail. Upon hearing her name mentioned, she trembled all over, lifted her head in panic, and attempted to repeat her old trick of clinging to Guo Xi’an’s legs.

He had not transmigrated as a sycophantic villain, yet his four sisters had become sycophants to the protagonist. Su Ming cursed under his breath.

To throw people off the scent, the Zhou family had specifically arranged for that temple on Qipan Mountain to be transferred through Old Wang on Fengshui Street. That way, even if Xi Yue grew suspicious, she would only ever be able to trace it back to Old Wang.

Once an employer chooses to trust a sorcerer, they are essentially placing their life and livelihood in the other party's hands. To then hire someone else to protect them is tantamount to doubting the sorcerer’s abilities.

"How was it done? I'm not entirely sure either. Although I felt a bit anxious, I kept feeling like it wasn't a big deal." Seeing Jiang Yi hanging his head in silence, Yu Wei took the initiative to explain.

After organizing the information she had gathered, Yu Wei realized the severity of the situation. With her strength alone, she could never guarantee that the barrier would not be destroyed.

The clan leader immediately sent men to apprehend Jian Ming, but Jian Ming had long since vanished without a trace along with the "Emperor's Nurture," so they had no choice but to capture Zhao Zong for interrogation.

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Xi Shuang could sense that there was something hidden in Mu Yun’s words. She found it difficult to understand what Mu Yun could possibly be hiding. The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't help but ask, finally erupting in anger.

Three super-experts had arrived, and a vicious battle was unavoidable—one even more brutal than the last. After all, although the Nether Sect Master had participated last time, they hadn't been fighting him, but merely a mysterious protector. This time, however, three had come.

"I have to go," Shangguan Mingxin said, looking at Jin Ling with a hint of attachment. This feeling made him uncomfortable once again.

It was said that Huai Xiaoli had come over in a state of terror, which was bad for her pregnancy and showed she wasn't as clever as Ai Wen. It seemed I was wrong again; Xiaoli was steadier than Ai Wen.

Gu Jian was kicked out the door by Tian Xing. No longer speaking, Tian Xing ran to a corner by himself and began drawing circles on the ground.

On the island, the colorless, transparent mist began to grow thicker, gradually seeping with a hint of pink.

The young man and Zun arrived before the gate of the Hieda residence. Reaching out to test the air, they found the entire building protected by a barrier, likely to prevent the documents inside from being damaged. Still, it was certainly safer here than outside.

After the meal, they arrived at the parking lot. Lu Ban-cheng pulled out his car keys and unlocked the car. Habitually, he reached to open the passenger door for Xu Wennuan, but she beat him to it, reaching out to open the back door instead.
