Chapter 46: Will Not Stay Long

Whenever one crossed paths with that fellow Luofan, awkwardness was inevitable. Back when they first met, awkward encounters had been plentiful.

What the brother-in-law experienced today was merely child's play in comparison.

"Everything has been dealt with, and the officials who came have already left," Lin Motang said.

He was the eldest son of the Lin family head and the designated successor to the family estate.

With the Lin family in commerce, he spent his years traveling constantly and faced all sorts of dangers. Although this was his first encounter with such an assassination attempt, the bandits...

Never in their wildest dreams did they expect that Brother Long would strike not Lin Feng, but his own subordinate, He Qiang.

Not only did Nezha possess numerous treasures, but his spear techniques were also nothing short of miraculous. Liu Yi judged that this was undoubtedly an immortal-grade martial art, though whether it was of low, middle, or high grade, he could not say for certain.

"Between the two of you and that divine being from before, who is stronger?" Xiao Qingfeng and his companion paused to think before asking.

On one side was the unscrupulous disciple of the Jade Emerald Sect, the personal disciple of the sect's second elder, and their proud, peerless prodigy, Wei Jiujie.

If not for Wang Xiangxiang's rather attractive appearance, such words would have earned her endless contempt.

The people inside finally received the voice transmission and were overjoyed, having been trapped within for far too long.

Yet in a mere fraction of a second, the Prime Minister's law matrix was shattered, and he was sent flying backward, instantly crashing to the ground and coughing up blood.

From afar, I could already make out the situation inside that stone path. Several dark figures were tangling back and forth with Keyan and the others. Judging by the posture, although Keyan's group had a slight upper hand, completely eliminating the adversaries did not seem so simple.

Impatience already edged Saber's tone, but Iskandar merely gazed at her with pity. Drawing the Sword of Alexander, he slashed it through the air. A flash of thunder roared, and a divine chariot pulled by heavenly bulls materialized amidst the booming sound.

Out on the South China Sea, these cultivators formed a world entirely unto themselves, making it exceedingly difficult for outsiders to integrate. During the early days of the Marsh Kingdom, attempts had been made to invite these people in, but regrettably, those efforts ended in failure.

At that moment, the door pushed open and Qin'er walked in carrying a bowl of medicine. Yun Qingxue couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief, yet at the sight of the dark, ink-like medicinal broth in Qin'er's hands, her brows furrowed tightly.

Everyone thought she was brave and resolute, but who could possibly know the agony and degradation she suffered during countless lonely nights, whenever the terror inflicted upon her by those scoundrels washed over her wave after wave?

Dongfang Xuanya did not see this barrage of live comments, but the very next instant, the sound of a yacht echoed from her computer screen.

Before the jade wall, an old man with a white beard shook his head rhythmically as he recounted the tales, speaking as though he had witnessed every single event with his own eyes.

In truth, among the students, only a handful could read the room and catch nuances as skillfully as Lin Jian, and even among these few, half were merely putting on a show.

That day, Tu Min performed her foundational skills—the split, handstands, and backflips—all with incredible fluidity. Her body could even bend past a hundred degrees, showcasing extraordinary flexibility.

Yun Du was filled with admiration, yet at the same time, he was run off his feet, calling Shi Lingyan repeatedly, only for the calls to go completely unanswered.

"So you were playing along with the act this whole time, weren't you?" The various production crew members had vanished; these scenes had indeed been constructed by Miao Yuan.

Another scream rang out, but unlike the previous one, this shriek lasted only two seconds before abruptly cutting off.

Chi Yinghan gave me a sideways glance. "Growing bolder, are you? Sit down!" All my bravado vanished instantly, and I slumped onto the bed. In truth, I could sense that she had made many concessions toward me; the root of my terror of her lay simply in her terrifying appearance.

"Ah!" I sighed softly, burying myself in his embrace while understanding in my heart that the Empress Dowager already disliked me. Now that Baoyuan was insisting on overstepping boundaries for my sake, the imperial court and the inner palace must have already descended into utter turmoil. I truly had no idea how many more twists, turns, and hardships lay ahead.

By the time Su An reached the exact top of the South Gate, Ouyang and commanding general Ouyang Bing had already arrived beneath the portal.
