Chapter 105: Just a Gathering

Who is Chen Shanling? He is the brother of Empress Dowager Chen, son of the Great Zhou War God, and holds the title of Marquis of Haichang. Yet, Ye Cheng actually dared to strike him openly! Who would have imagined such a thing?

Chen Shanling’s eyes were bloodshot, his grip tight on the sword hilt, the sound of steel grinding echoing sharply. The murderous aura surrounding him sent chills piercing through everyone present.

At that moment, the elderly couple knelt once more before the stone tablet. This time, instead of bowing their heads, they bit their fingers and began drawing something on the tablet with their blood.

Everyone was exhausted; after dinner, they each returned to their rooms. The production team did not insist on any heart-to-heart talks and let everyone go.

Raising his head as if glimpsing hope, his tear-streaked and sweat-dappled face remained filled with reverence.

“Su Qingci? How did you know she would…” Meng Ying’an began, piecing together the events of the past few days. A faint understanding dawned, yet something still felt amiss.

His unreliable master had always been inscrutable in his actions. Now, suddenly appearing with the police to the Old Pipe family, it was clear he had discovered something.

This realization caused Wu’s eyes to widen instinctively, a relentless tide of regret surging anew, threatening to drown his humbled self.

Gu Ming was about to say more, but Bai Luoning had lost all patience and dashed upstairs immediately.

Madam Su, while serving Bai Luoning her favorite dishes, looked up with concern and asked.

Although unaware of the matter involving the chief and his wife, Bai Luoning’s heart yearned most to see Ji Tingye at this moment.

This crucial detail was already known to Yamasaka Kirito, who had assimilated the original owner’s memories. He learned that the ninja who saved the original had discovered his innate ninja talent and brought him back to Konoha.

Upon Lord Li’s confession, the emperor’s face turned grim as he dealt severe punishment to Lord Li and the others listed.

Liu Jun spoke word by word, and the resolve in Zhang Zhenglu’s eyes gradually crumbled under Liu Jun’s relentless words.

Liu Jun wanted to describe two rectangular shapes but feared no one would understand, so he resorted to vague descriptions. Everyone, puzzled, simply followed along.

All felt overwhelmed by the mounting pressure. The opponent was clearly ill-intentioned and would never set easily achievable challenges.

Xu Mengjia’s connections to Tianhua Entertainment were no secret to him; no one understood the situation better.

After traveling only a short distance, Tie Di stopped beside a large tree. He searched the leaf-covered ground and pried up a wooden plank. Beneath it lay a dark, ominous hole.

Gu Caiwei watched coldly as the scene unfolded below. The humiliation she had just endured was not something she could forgive with a few apologies.

Xiao Feng accepted the silver notes he was handed without a second thought; leaving them with this man would have been wasteful. Then, seeing him sneak more silver notes into Zhang Wuxin’s hand, Zhang smiled toward Xiao Feng.

At last, with such a cherished wife by his side and no need to struggle for a living, he was finally living the life he had dreamed of.

Yet Xiao Feng and Yu Dayou surreptitiously changed into Wokou pirate attire and used the chaos to infiltrate their ranks.

“I find your efficiency so low it could be used as a weapon—you actually need half a year for this. I guess your master could get it done in about fifteen days, right?” Wu Hao joked.

In Fu Su’s eyes, a father’s command is as mighty as a mountain. Whatever the First Emperor decreed, his son would obediently carry out. This was the norm in ordinary families; as heir apparent to a kingdom, should he not set an even greater example?

“All right, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.” Ye Siyu said calmly, then opened a spatial portal and prepared to leave.
