Chapter 51 Unexpected

"Your Highness, Lord Zhang is here!"

Inside the Grand Princess's Manor, Yin Ling was enjoying some music when Qiong Zhi entered with a displeased expression to report.

Yin Ling flicked her feather fan, and the singing and dancing came to an immediate halt. All irrelevant personnel quickly withdrew.

"What has happened?"

"Your Highness, word has just arrived that something has gone wrong at the Censorate!"

Yin Ling's face sank. "Show him in!"

Qiong Zhi pressed her lips together, nodded, and went out to relay the order. Zhang Linhe, the Minister of Revenue, entered bowing respectfully.

"I am not going." Thus, Tang Yun gave Wang Feng only two words: she was not going. She wasn't going to be dismissed simply with the offer of a meal.

"This... Your Majesty, your health has just recovered, perhaps we should wait a while," Haofang said with some difficulty. Having finally encountered the legendary Dragon King of his own dragon clan, how could Haofang bear to let Qi Jue take risks?

Liu Zhao smiled slightly at Ma Huiling, went upstairs, and then produced his golden hand cannon.

"What does that matter? As long as the emissary recovers his health, I would stand guard here for a year or two," the Grand Elder laughed.

Wang Yuyi naturally had no idea that someone had set their sights on him. In fact, he had long since forgotten about what just happened; love at first sight and tales of heroes saving beauties hardly seemed possible in this day and age. And if such a thing really did happen, well, soldiers would be met with arms and water with earth—it was no big deal.

Recalling how Shen Ningyu had been subtly showing favor to her all along, Mu Qingya had some premonition in her heart. It seemed Shen Ningyu had something she wanted her help with, though she had no idea what kind of favor it might be.

A nearby police officer found the scene difficult to watch, let alone accept, and sneered, issuing a harsh and unsparing taunt.

Wu Yue prepared to make a trip home to see his father. He left a brief note for Zhang Le and departed.

"I want to take away five of the brothers who originally helped me build this empire," Wang Feng stated bluntly, demanding the core members of the Fierce Tiger Gang without offering any explanation.

Ling Nuo'er brought Wang Yuyi through the air to look down upon this vast and luxurious residence, prompting a wave of astonishment at how leisurely the lifestyle of an ancient martial arts family truly was.

Clearly, yesterday was the first time she had officially met Fang Yunxi, yet Can Can had already caught a whiff of the unusual gunpowder in the air.

In truth, Ju Shinan's flight from Chang'an was not without its benefits. If he were to be assassinated outside by the Prince of Yichuan, with his remains buried anonymously in some barren mountain wilderness and the news never reaching the Empress Dowager's ears, that would truly be the safest outcome.

Throughout the entire dinner table, it was thanks to Qiao Mingzong and Song Zhenhai that the dining process actually resembled a gathering of old friends.

Most importantly, he knew that if his soul were completely destroyed, he would be finished—reduced from a powerhouse at the Soul King realm to an ordinary person.

Ruan Yiyi simply couldn't be bothered to deal with Qiao Shuhe, and instead pulled out her phone to text Nina, arranging to meet tomorrow.

As for the rest, there was nothing. It felt remarkably simple, almost too simple to be believed. Yet no matter how much further she investigated, she could uncover no additional information. In this entire city, the only people who knew her background were the Mu family and Jack. But Jack refused to tell her, and she was utterly helpless.

Ah Biao pointed to a deep valley in the distance. In the middle of the valley lay a flat patch of ground, and resting upon this flat ground was a colossal energy bubble that enclosed everything inside.

To obtain this Asura Heart, Wu Kang could be said to have poured out all his strength, even risking his own life.

Lady Hu had already filled a basin with warm water. Seeing the princess consort return, she quietly set the bronze basin right by the door and vanished without a sound, acting as though she had become invisible.

When it was Murong Cheng's turn, Cangyun rose from the ground and flew back into his hand. He was not intimidated by Ye Feiyu's flawless performance; instead, he stood before the stone stool, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

Mo Fan dazily opened his eyes, only to be astonished to find that he had somehow returned to Earth.
