Volume 1, Chapter 49: A Nail Pierced the Sole of the Foot, Thorough Investigation and Severe Punishment!

Long Linfei, however, stood there unconcerned with his hands clasped behind his back. His handsome face was as calm as a rippleless spring, showing not the slightest trace of emotion.

Hearing the commotion on the perimeter, Wu Yang let out a furious roar, unable to fathom who would dare to step in and meddle at a time like this.

"Not at all, not at all. Compared to the eleventh prince's 'essence' ginseng, my master is hardly generous," the yellow-robed attendant glanced at the blue-robed one, curling his lips in utter disdain.

In order to help Gu Ling'er and make life a bit easier for her financially strained household, he was willing to let her misunderstand him.

Fan Zhong's understanding of Mu Ling was actually quite superficial; he had merely crossed paths with him at Divine Ape Peak. Yet, he held a deep appreciation for this young man. Especially after witnessing the breathtaking feats he pulled off despite arriving two days late, Mu Ling's talent seemed no lower than that of geniuses from the Flame Palace or Thunder Palace.

After saying this, the newcomer seemed to hesitate, still mindful to observe his master's expression.

Having said this, Chiyou suddenly felt something was amiss. Wushi was Chengcheng's older brother, yet Wushi claimed to be his father. If Chengcheng were his mother, wouldn't that make him a child born of incest?

I shook my head. I had only woken up around noon, and I still had a low-grade fever. If the Ren family's atmosphere hadn't felt so oppressive, I wouldn't have come out at all. Wouldn't it have been much better to sleep in bed all day? Who would have the mood to look at a phone or a computer?

The main hall was packed with people. Since acquiring a shop was out of the question, they might as well have a meal here. Fresh vegetables and fish were hard to come by in Yucheng nowadays, and the crucial part was that the Tian family's chef was top-notch—heaven knows where they managed to hire him from.

Although Ling Luo sneered inwardly, she still put on as amiable an expression as possible on the surface.

"Wait a moment. Judging by the situation, this must be a divine artifact choosing its master. If we rush up blindly, we might provoke the artifact's displeasure toward Mobai!" Kong Xi analyzed.

Qingxue had no idea what Jun Li intended to do, but she obediently helped her change into a new dress and then accompanied her to Madam Yang's room.

Feeling somewhat dejected, Yu Yu returned to Helian Ye and produced the antidote, taking the initiative to make the two large characters on his face fade away.

Didn't Rong Zhan harbor a lingering sense of filial affection for the Marquis of Ningping before, which was why he had declared that as of today he no longer had a father?

"I, I..." Cai Yan tilted her body slightly, her lips on the verge of touching Liu Feng's, when a sudden wave of shyness overtook her and she could not bring herself to kiss him. She straightened up, a look of resolute determination washing over her as if she had resolved something.

Yet the white-robed man's master should be quite old... Although Cheng Siyan's cousin was a scoundrel, his appearance was passable, and he was quite skilled at whispering sweet words to win people over. Thus, chasing this cousin out of Cheng Siyu's heart would require some effort.

It was only much later that these people discovered the two immortals had vanished. Naturally, some felt a sense of lingering regret, feeling that it was so difficult to encounter immortals, yet they had disappeared before they could ask for anything else.

The spiritual consciousness in his mind raced like a high-speed storage device, memorizing text at a rate of several hundred characters per second. He did not study or try to comprehend it; he could only resort to rote memorization. The three-day limit was self-imposed, but he had never expected the volume to be this vast.

Right now, however, she had someone she cared about. She cherished every single second she spent with Mo Li, always hoping that the two of them could remain just like this forever—at the very least, free of arguments, misunderstandings, and estrangement.

At this moment, Shen Mingze grabbed Lu Yun by the collar. Lu Yun still dared not speak, but suddenly, a hand seized Shen Mingze's arm with a tight grip. The person who grabbed his arm was none other than Xingyu.

"No," Immortal Lord Nandou looked straight at him. "This is Lord Youqing's will." Seeing Chuan Shanyixiao look at him, thinking that an immortal residing remotely in the Milky Way could be so well-informed about heavenly affairs suggested the visitor was no ordinary immortal. He remained silent, waiting for the Immortal Lord to continue.

Li Keyun currently lacked the capability and the mood to discuss such matters with Yun Zhen. The elaborate layout crafted so smoothly just last night was on the verge of shattering within moments, leaving only persecution in its wake.

The taxi driver seemed well-acquainted with the roads. After Haifeng handed him three one-hundred-yuan bills, he took a shortcut and dropped them off at the school, leaving them with plenty of time to spare.

Huo Jingshan was already paving the way for herself. Since Kazama Taeko could no longer serve as a gift for their introductory meeting, she had no choice but to seek another path. Yibai Long was no ordinary figure and possessed very few weaknesses; her previous preparations had been tailored precisely to target his few vulnerabilities. Now, caught unprepared, how could she possibly devise a good plan?

After several hours, Huang Chao had absorbed most of the genuine qi within Chu Qianshan's body, leaving him with barely a breath of life remaining. Suddenly hearing a commotion outside the stone door, he withdrew his palm force and fled through the back door.

With that, white mist suddenly surged around Taohui's body, threatening to burst forth. His parents danced within the mist, which occasionally coiled around his hands like boxing gloves formed of white vapor.
