Chapter 54

As long as there are clues to catch the mastermind behind the scenes, Ji Langu's safety will no longer be an issue.

Gu Moxi enjoys immense prestige at court. Coupled with the support of the Lin and Lu families, even if she were to unite with other ministers, the Emperor might not thoroughly investigate the matter and would instead perceive her as making something out of nothing.

On a dark and windy night with no surveillance cameras and no passersby, what a supremely advantageous setting for murder. After finishing his sentence, the man seemed to lose patience for idle talk, shouted "Attack" to the two men beside him, and all three swarmed toward Shao Ting in unison.

Call it self-deception if you will, but Wen Lulu felt that many people in love refuse to turn back until they hit a brick wall. Lin Mei was like that, and wasn't she herself the same way later on?

It was only after coming to the capital that she realized there were still so many things she had never witnessed before.

Seeing that there was no way out, Yan Enming was not flustered at all. Within a moment, the aura about him shifted completely, and everyone thought to themselves: the other Yan Enming has emerged.

Hearing the address Lu Cancan, Lin Yi always felt as though she were addressing a eunuch, but seeing how happy Lu Cancan looked, he could not be bothered to dampen his spirits.

In the first half of last year, when President Yu first brought people over, she had heard it with her own ears. The person doing the planning was in communication with President Yu back then, and the area they wanted to target was the mountain, which was far larger in scale than it is now.

Lu Chengxing pondered inwardly. After a moment of thought, with a despirited air, he picked up a skewer of chicken tenders and took a couple of bites, harboring a faint hope that Jack might somehow bring up the previous topic again.

Xiao looked completely bewildered, having no idea what was wrong with him. Song Qingyi looked at him with helpless resignation—could it be that she had done something wrong?

Facing this arrangement, Magistrate Tong and Old Physician Wang found it difficult to refuse and could only go and tidy up their current state. They indeed needed to freshen up a bit, which was the very reason they did not decline the arrangement.

The original plan to meet Young Master Qin was actually a blind date. Yang Qianqian had been kept completely in the dark and came along utterly clueless. Deep down, she felt extreme resistance, for after all, her heart already belonged to another.

Gao Xudong knew she could not accept this reality, but for the sake of her future, he had to tell her the truth.

It was not just a problem; it was a colossal problem. Taking charge of simple cooking was one thing, but having to prepare meals every day according to these recipes was practically asking her to pluck stars from the sky.

"Steel Legion, mobilize!" shouted the signaling officers loudly. A moment later, a distinct mechanical whirring sound emanated from beneath the city wall.

He chanted a Buddhist phrase, his face brimming with pleasant surprise, and thought to himself: Could it be that the master of the Space-Time Tavern has had a change of heart and intends to set me free?

He rushed up to Qin Sangruo and said, "Lady Sangruo, let us return to the room!" With a single punch, he sent a warrior who was charging in flying more than a zhang away. Seeing his martial arts were too formidable, the remaining men backed off simultaneously, not daring to press closer.

Upon reaching the West Corner Head, Jiang Shu had originally expected the carriage to continue straight ahead, but to her surprise, it turned eastward into Xi'anmen Avenue.

Coming to the capital this time, she had not yet visited Zhao Ji and Elder Huang, and a single day might not even be enough.

He was a physician, not a savior. He could cure many patients, but he was powerless to save a terminal patient whose body had been ravaged beyond hope by cancer cells.

Gaia was just as gloating as Lanor, giving Cassius a thumbs-up: Who told Zhan Silamo to treat him with such a poor attitude?

Zhongbajie, who garrisoned the city of Lhasa, learned of this matter. To completely annihilate these invading enemies, he traveled alone to the ancient Holy Mountain to seek the assistance of the ancient Ape Heavenly King, hoping he would come out of seclusion to help him utterly wipe out the invaders.

"I'm out of here!" Gaia turned and fled in a panic, but after running only a couple of steps, he abruptly collided with a transparent barrier. Caught completely off guard, he was knocked backward several steps.

Zhuang Jue's seemingly invincible techniques were full of flaws in the eyes of the Sea God, who did not even need to exert much divine power to wear him down to death. In that case, it would be entirely meaningless.

As Zhuang Jue spoke, the space rent open, and a bald youth alongside a handsome youth appeared before everyone's eyes.

After she left, the control automatically lifted, and all the sprites regained their freedom. The chieftain and elders were naturally grateful to Blake, and consequently, Royale and the others were also treated as distinguished guests of the Dark Earth Clan.

"Wuwuwu—" Guan Xiaotong crouched at the reception desk, curling her slender body into a ball, burying her head between her long legs, and crying muffled tears while embracing her head.

"Whether people live or die has nothing to do with me. Besides, you were the one who shot and killed him. He was a good dog!" As Guo Nianfei spoke, the two of them entered the lobby's reception room.

Liu Fan saw right through Hill's thoughts: it was nothing more than anxiety and unease regarding his attitude toward her family, wives, and concubines.

After much urging, Lin Peng reluctantly crawled out of bed and began putting on his clothes.

"Rest assured, they will be fine. Trust them." Kong Xinyan seemed to read what was on Long Ao's mind and offered words of comfort.

"You still treat us like outsiders. Family matters! Now that the apocalypse has arrived, the military is lording it over everyone like this, and you still call it a family matter." Xu Yichen abruptly stood up and bellowed at Li Yunfei.

Unfortunately, he still did not realize that these people were completely different from the ones he casually manipulated on ordinary days. Why would they ever take a fox masquerading in a tiger's majesty seriously?

Having listened to Long Ao explain the whole sequence of events from beginning to end, coupled with Long Ao's identity, Kong Xinyan was finally persuaded by him and said nothing more.

It is easy to transition from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Before their arrival, these people had spent countless years committing all sorts of outrages in this county town. If they had wanted to reform, countless opportunities would have been available to them long ago. Even if they could not control others, maintaining personal integrity was at least within their power, was it not?
