Volume 1, Chapter 53: Planning to Make Amends with the Heir Apparent
Arriving at the bank of the Yellow River, one could see a colossal pavilion built there, already crowded with dozens of physicians, young and old, gathered in groups of threes and fives.
Not far away, Zheng Nanshuo wore an "as expected" expression upon seeing this. Glancing at her husband, Xiao Ping, who kept his head bowed the entire time, she felt an escalating wave of disgust in her heart.
"Brother, I feel like her appearance before us was far too coincidental. It's not as simple as she claims, and besides, we have no way of knowing whether the person who abducted her is actually an enemy from her past."
Based on his experience, this Spades Messenger did not seem like a fixed program; rather, it felt more like a prop injected with a soul, which explained its degree of freedom and distinct personality.
They finally reached the street where the apartment of Ye Jingjing was located. Looking out, the street was entirely deserted; not a single shop was open, and no pedestrians were in sight.
Numerous fragments flashed through Ruan Yun'an's mind once more, causing a sharp throbbing in her head. She bit down hard on her lips, her complexion pale and completely devoid of color.
Hearing the words of the Spades Messenger, Lin Yangyang's eyes turned red, and tears streamed down uncontrollably, splashing onto the collar of her shirt.
"Isha, how can you speak to your sister like that?" The teacher who entered the room interrupted their conversation.
In the past, whenever Chu Yang disagreed with something, he would only make a fuss and quarrel. Wen Ruying, however, was always able to appeal to both emotion and reason to achieve her goals.
"Understood." Hua Mei nodded, checking off items on her mobile phone, and then proceeded to brief Lin Mu on other company matters.
On the way back, Xie Wanyou curiously inquired about what had happened earlier. Feng Ranzhou briefly recounted the entire process, even mentioning that the cub had been blessed by the Ancestor of Xuan Tian.
Later, messengers were sent into the city to negotiate with the garrison commander of Cangzhou City. Although Cangzhou City had also experienced heavy rainfall, it had not resulted in flood disasters; therefore, it was entirely reasonable for these refugees from Nanyang City to come and seek assistance.
However, since they shared mutual friends, they could not speak completely without restraint and merely sent two crying emojis to express their exclusion from the trip.
The welcoming attendants assumed they were the children of some guest and did not stop to question them, thus letting them slip inside unnoticed.
Xi Lanyu stood by the window and lit a cigarette, though he did not smoke it. He simply rested the hand holding the cigarette on the windowsill, quietly watching it burn down as the ashes fell in flurries.
Realizing that they had colluded to deceive him, Satan opened his mouth as a beam of dark light flickered within.
At this thought, Adam rummaged through his bag for a moment, gritted his teeth, and stepped into a shop.
However, this time very few people echoed the sentiment. It was only because contestants like Tong Yuping brought along their own fans that Jiang Zhiping's reputation as the foremost figure of folk music was barely propped up.
The Great Snow had been an overwhelmingly formidable presence dominating the glacial basin for nearly a hundred years. Even if Uncle Li were still alive, he probably wouldn't dare to challenge it head-on. Among the people Wang Sheng knew, perhaps only the Daoist Lingxu dared to genuinely claim he could defeat the Great Snow. Even if Lu Wenhou and Ling'er joined forces, they wouldn't necessarily have the confidence to win.
Some people remarked that ill-gotten gains were never easy to enjoy and that this was only a just retribution, but many others felt that such a coincidence was simply too bizarre.
Meanwhile, those titled deities headed straight for Ye Chen's corpse, eager to acquire a shred of Chaotic Celestial Body flesh in the hope of contributing to their respective families.
Bai Su was not made of iron; he had no idea when he had fallen asleep, only knowing that when he woke up, he was lying on a clean bed draped in white linen, covered by a quilt that emitted a delicate fragrance.
For these people, merely climbing the mountain was an arduous endeavor. Therefore, when they saw Qin Zizha and his group stepping onto the mountain path with absolute ease, they could not help but feel astonished and envious.
In her heart, she had already concluded that Yu Leilei was someone who simply did not care about the competition. Changing her mind would be no easy task.
Nevertheless, Luo Shuiyue was well aware that even if he managed to arrive in time, with no room to dodge, she would merely be buying time for one more blow—she could accomplish nothing beyond that.
Right in front of countless masters of the Dai family—one of the seven great clans—Wang Sheng killed their two ancestors and family head, and alongside Lin Xiu, swaggered away from the Dai capital riding atop the Great Snow.
A massive cross hurtled toward Lanshan, who felt a surge of terror in his heart. This power was far too immense; it was simply beyond what a fifth-rank deity could possibly wield.
Seeing this, many people around them wore smiles on their faces, watching the scene unfold as if it were a joke, and began whispering among themselves in Japanese.
Luo Big Brother had always projected a detached and aloof demeanor, and his voice carried virtually no warmth.
For now, this was the only option. The beast chieftains stood shoulder to shoulder in a row, preparing to defend themselves, when a voice suddenly echoed from behind them.
"I also feel that making such a big fuss is unnecessary. This matter is merely an internal conflict within our class; there is no need to make it known to everyone," Bai Qi said coldly as well.
I need to hurry back, settle things swiftly with Huang Siyuan, and return home before Zhang Minglang loses his temper.
In an instant, the water pillar seemed to suffer a violent impact, resembling a turbulent sea rocking in a storm. The sword qi pierced through the water and drove toward Arthur beneath it. Water shields continuously condensed to block the sword qi, but just like a fishing net, leaks were inevitable, and the water shields could not block every strand of sword qi.
He resolved to forget the past and forge a brand-new beginning with her, walking together side by side for eternity.
Following that, Zhang Xiyan directly adopted the demeanor of a high-level veteran and began chewing out the legion of junior followers.
Although my athletic coordination is quite strong, athletics and dancing are two entirely different concepts. I always felt rather foolish whenever I danced, which is why I never pursued in-depth studies in that area.
Mingyao blushed furiously, a look of coy reproach on her face as she murmured to me, "Oh, sister-in-law, really—you just had to bring up a sore subject..." With that, she lowered her head.
As I stepped out of the main entrance of the Sun Corporation building, I pulled out my phone and glanced at the caller ID on the screen. Sure enough, it was a call from Zhou Yaze.
