Chapter 40

Walking into the train station, Zhao Zixian found that staff members were already waiting for him, having been arranged by Manager Su when he dropped him off. They led him through the waiting room and onto the platform.

Why would Bai Qian want to harm Mingyue? Could it be that Mingyue had discovered something she shouldn't have? That must be it. Mingyue and Bai Qian had never met before; this was the only reason she would make a move against her.

As he spoke, the old man suddenly produced a red compass. In the center was engraved a large skull, and the outer rim was inlaid with gold beads.

"I have no family left now, either. Just like you," Su Yi said, curling her lips into a bitter smile.

"My lady, this carriage is too heavy. Let us ride horses instead," Huo Bao said. He had been driving the carriage for a day and a night, yet he still couldn't shake the pursuers behind them, so he made this suggestion to Lu Xiang'er.

Huo Qingqing had spent quite some time with the Fourth Prince and naturally understood the paranoia that permeated the imperial family. With the Emperor in the prime of his life, he certainly didn't want his son associating too closely with his ministers. Sending someone to summon the Fourth Prince back to the capital was nothing out of the ordinary.

Qin Feng thought this made sense. If there hadn't been someone at home last night to discover him in time, he might not have survived that ordeal—he truly could have perished. With that thought, he stopped resisting Nian Shuyan’s embrace, closed his eyes, and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Chen Langya could have vied for dominance with Yan Luo from the very beginning, but he wanted to see exactly how many techniques this top assassin of China possessed and how they compared to his own.

Boom, boom, boom... Several vehicles collided head-to-tail. Flames erupted instantly, setting the cars ablaze and sending waves of heat in all directions.

"Who stepped on you? Or rather, who is so capable that they actually managed to step on you?" After hearing this, Lu Xiang'er covered her mouth to hide a smile and looked down. Sure enough, there were marks on Lu Hong's shoes, looking like stains left by melting snow.

A thunderous roar of cheers erupted from the crowd. An old man with the air of an immortal stepped onto the high platform with a beaming smile. He locked eyes with Zhan Wushuang from a distance, radiating the aura of a powerhouse; the spectators closest to him even felt a sense of suffocation.

"Some people might never even see these things in their entire lives, let alone eat them..." Wu Quyian interjected at the perfect moment, his eyes fixed on Lin Jie, clearly implying something.

"Ximen, how could you ask a beggar to buy it?" Once Ximen hung up the phone, Sister Liu chided him with a hint of reproach.

Zhan Wushuang looked at Murong Chen, who was clinging to his side, with astonishment. He didn't know how it happened, but she was inseparable from him, following him wherever he went. That would have been fine, but she always wore an expression of "I don't care at all," which left him both amused and exasperated—she was truly a cute yet annoying little tag-along.

Just as Bai Jin was about to swing the whip again, two familiar pleas for mercy rang out from the pit.

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of those male teachers fell. Some turned to leave immediately, but seeing Ding Yu still being praised by the old man, they all shared looks of resentment.

Because the God-level realm was completely beyond his own limitations, he could no longer provide guidance to Ding Yu as he once had. Of course, this had been the case ever since Ding Yu’s strength surpassed his own.

However, just as he was finalizing this series of plans, Xiao Qianwu suddenly gave Xu Wei a call.

Especially because, before a genius has fully matured, anyone can easily crush them to death.

Mother Yuan said, "City Lord Su wouldn't go so far as to harm his own grandson, would he?" Even if he did, no one would be able to stop him.

Glancing at the bedroom door, Xuanyuan Tianxin tossed the towel onto a nearby chair and walked over to open it.

The Imperial Academy occupied nearly one-third of the entire capital. Never mind twenty laps; one would likely be exhausted to the point of collapse after just two.

"Teacher Zhang, is there something you wanted to see us about?" You Zhipei asked with a fawning smile.

Returning to the bedroom, Ling Shiyin locked the door from the inside. She walked to the bedside, pulled open the nightstand, and retrieved a mobile phone from within.

After a flurry of intensive operations, the Green Jia Group welcomed the opening day of its new company. On this day, Ye Fei invited a delegation, including the Mayor of BL City, to cut the ribbon. The event was grand, and the impact was immense.

Yang Lie let out a mocking laugh. He suddenly flicked his finger against the *Stone Man Sutra*. A violent surge of energy tore through it, and the "precious" scripture exploded instantly.

A man could be seen walking slowly into the grand hall, dressed in brocade robes, his face as fair as jade, looking remarkably handsome and distinguished.

"I must have owed you in a past life!" Although Hilda grumbled, she still opened the spatial gate.

Two Martial Venerable-realm experts, who had been preparing for a long time, exchanged glances and stepped onto the ring to battle.

After leaving the detention center, Jiang Yuanzhou returned to the hospital. Wan Yuning had woken up, but she had gone completely insane.

"Shuqin! Get some good rest! With me here, nothing will happen to you!" Li Yunfei looked at Li Shuqin’s Sleeping Beauty-like face, kissed her gently, and tapped a point on her neck. Li Shuqin, who had been slightly furrowing her brows, drifted back into a deep sleep.
