Chapter 73: An Unexpected Discovery

Su Jinhe sprang up from the sofa, her delicate face full of worry.

I can’t possibly reveal my true identity, can I? If Su Jinhe were to find out, she’d probably never want to see me again.

“Usually, I enjoy reading useless books, so I guessed that this item must belong to one of the women from the tomb of King Qin.”

...

In an instant, the noisy living room fell silent, the world quieted down; she saw many people applauding her, cheering her on.

Moreover, what people fear most in relationships is the distance created by secrets and concealment. Over time, though everything may appear fine on the surface, those things will always linger in the heart. Since Ye Guan had decided to be with the other person for real, he didn’t want that to happen.

Situyan wanted to laugh, yet kept her face looking aggrieved; at this moment, there was no need for her to say a word—she only had to wait for the Li family to turn on each other.

The moment their eyes met, Ziling’s pupils suddenly dilated, clear and bright yet tinged with a faint red glow. There was no trace of human emotion within, only malice and ferocity, an endless thirst for slaughter, as if some monstrous being was slowly awakening.

Mo Zhiyao’s eyelid twitched. Long Zhan’s luck was simply too good. He had barely advanced to the early Ancient stage and had already broken through to the mid-Ancient stage. Even his Law Embryo had evolved. All his own hard work paled in comparison to someone simply owing a favor to his great-grandfather.

“So, Cao, you still dare to force your way in? I’m warning you—don’t go looking for trouble when you don’t need to!” At this, Muramasa’s face was black as thunder; his tone was harsh, and he stepped even closer to the door.

Big Gou’s Adam’s apple bobbed; he’d forgotten to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He stared blankly at Ma Yi, as if time itself had frozen before his eyes.

As for the matter of the Guardians, Max wasn’t worried; judging from the strength these two young men had displayed, since they could withstand attacks from the other two Spellchanters head-on, they were certainly the ones. But the question of the Spirit of Magic still puzzled Max deeply.

Not to mention how Shi Qian and Jin Dajian impersonated mountain guests and friends from Jiangnan at the Lu family’s restaurant, or how they rushed overnight toward Cangzhou at Yang Zhi’s urging—let’s just say that, as Shi Qian and his companions hurried along the night road, they passed by Wu Manor.

“We may have underestimated them. Not only do they have guns, they also have bombs,” Ma Yi replied.

She knew she was the laughingstock of the entire capital, after causing such a scandal and finally marrying a man whose position was extremely awkward.

In the inn, after eating and drinking, Tang Tang actually wanted to leave, but she still worried about Spoon. Every day, she would sit in a corner downstairs, listening to people gossip, hoping to hear some news about Spoon. She told herself that as long as she knew he was alive and well, that was enough.

Although Cen Wu was curious, he didn’t approach or start a conversation; he simply walked ahead as usual, until he entered the apartment building, and the other person followed him in.

“But, but he…” Luo Tianqing seemed like a deflated balloon, his voice weakening. He actually knew what kind of person his son was, but his own impulsive nature had been thoroughly rattled by the sudden turn of events.

“I’ll go back with you,” Shao Wan said at once when she heard the old man was gravely ill. Without hesitation, she agreed and decided to return together with Gao Sinian.

When she saw the message he sent, Fu Caiwei realized the other party truly knew nothing about this kind of information, so she continued typing out her explanation.

Prince Duan took his seat. The Thirteenth Prince had countless things to say, but with Shen Yannan present, he fell silent, and the atmosphere grew somewhat awkward.

All his obsession with her had been poured into that deal, believing that once he got what he wanted, his longing would fade. In fact, it wasn’t so at all. After getting what he wanted, his desire only grew stronger; his possessiveness for her intensified with every moment they spent together.
