Chapter 102: The Calculations

“Of course, Aying and Atau come from humble origins, and even if they were to be by the side of the Crown Prince’s elder brother, they would still only be servants.” Wang Heng shifted her tone and said slowly, “If A’Nao were to follow as well, she would certainly suffer some hardships in the first few years.”

Wang Heng’s words were nothing but the truth.

Aying and Atau were both servants; even if Yang Rui took them in, they would at best be concubine maids.

An old woman serving a concubine maid was even more lowly.

Zheng Yi bore such an identity.

The next morning, Qiao Mimi awoke complaining of a greasy feeling in her mouth, probably from eating too much cake the night before, her stomach unsettled.

Along the way, the fierce beast showed its excitement openly, murmuring repeatedly. Though Qin Yu could not understand the words, he could sense the beast’s exhilaration.

Zheng Chen turned and flew into the air. Though his face was expressionless, his eyes revealed a resolute determination. He had instructed Jian Xuanzi not to vie for the Zhaoyang Sword because Zheng Chen could not allow the sword to fall into the Sword Domain’s hands.

“What are your plans for today? If you’re going out to play, I’ll leave the car behind; I’m going to check on the factory and interview the new accountant, so I won’t have time to accompany you.” Sun Buqi adjusted his suit and polished his shoes in front of the dressing mirror.

In the past, he would have been furious, ready to scold Sun Buqi with a fiery outburst. But now, he was no longer the reckless youth; he had to consider many more things.

In the bathroom, Sun Buqi took off his shirt and gently wiped away the traces of alcohol with a towel. Windsor held the shirt under running water, her eyes fixed on the man’s bare chest, her gaze growing dazed.

After all the buildup, Sun Buqi waited patiently for those few words from the other party, feigning a bit of formality, then decisively jotted down the phone number.

Li Erlong mounted the tricycle in one swift motion; the posture was as dashing as could be, as if he were mounting not a tricycle, but a magnificent steed. Watching this, Tian Tian felt a strange flutter in her heart.

The boss nodded and pocketed the deposit given by Xu Xian. Xu Xian left with the herbs, unaware that a hidden danger had just been sown. The silver lost from the Grand Marshal’s mansion had quietly been cleansed of its marks by Chen Fan, but the piece on Bai Suzhen remained untouched.

“What a tedious art of hand techniques!” Qing Du naturally knew the news about the Lord of the Heavenly Mansion. Bearing profound sword moves, illusions, and ghostly agility, and now complicated yet refined hand martial arts, the investigation felt like searching for a needle in the ocean.

Bo Yanhe felt as if he was being stared at by those withered eyes; in the next moment, he opened his mouth.

The old clan chief stepped forward, picking up a large chunk of gems and jade that had stuck together; his hands indeed felt sticky.

Faced with such a strange reality, all they could do was trust Liu Yilu’s marks. There was no other way, for they could find no method to prove those marks were accurate, thus those marks became their sole choice.

“All immortals who come from the Primordial World to this universe lose all memories and powers.”

After returning to the sect, he directly informed Qiudianluo that he intended to enter a sealed retreat and would be unable to emerge for some time. After all, frequently leaving would inevitably reveal suspicious behavior; it was better to have a definite reason for disappearing, so no one would come looking. He then found a secluded place within the sect, informed Mu Qiu, and quietly departed.

“Yes, yes, Your Highness, you’ve worked hard; your health is paramount.” Pei Shudong hurriedly responded. Liu Yan shot him a sharp glare before sweeping his sleeve and leaving in a huff.

Nan He had no idea what she was thinking at that moment. Faced with such a situation, she could not utter a single word. The longer she stayed, the more uneasy she became. Just as she was about to cast a spell to shatter the scene and leave, Ye Qingshuang suddenly exhaled deeply.
