Volume One, Chapter 55: Shang Chen Tears into Ji Wenqian!

In truth, seeing Lin Xiu manage to cover a third of the long saber with his primal force on his very first attempt, and with such even distribution at that, Baili Haoling was already profoundly astonished.

Qian Qianyi could not help but be stunned, and all the officials similarly fell silent. Qu Shisi had been vehemently opposed to the tax reduction in Jiangnan; why had he rushed over at a time like this?

Would you still be able to control the situation by then? If you wanted to stop them again, would you still be able to do so?

Hao Jun specifically mentioned having displayed the bronze arm in front of the Qianlong Emperor, hoping this would not bring any trouble to Qin Rui.

Having remained dormant for several days—doing nothing each time except building a military camp and returning to sleep—the Eastern Route Army was making its first threatening move today, leaving Feng Yi with no choice but to pay close attention.

"Is that real or fake? How do you know? You wouldn't be trying to scam us, would you? While others sell magical treasures, you're selling a hoe!" the other party pointed at the hoe and asked.

Hearing Gao Ming's words, those bodyguards no longer dared to hesitate. After all, their jobs came first, and moreover, since this young master had said such words, he would definitely carry them out. Anyway, even if they stirred up trouble, the young master would be there to take the blame. Since things had come to this, they might as well charge forward.

"Remember to go to the classroom tomorrow to lead your classmates in training. Also, the monthly exams are coming up soon, so perform well," Nan Zhengjun said with a smile.

Hao Jun and the others immediately set their minds racing. "Faction forces" must be opposed to Gu Zuiqing's organization. What was the "Origin Sky"? Was it a branch or a codename for Gu Zuiqing's organization? "Balancer" likely referred to a mid-level person in charge of a specific affair, and what kind of people were "submitters of spacetime missions"?

Could it be that after he left last night, Li Ningxi had gone somewhere else, or perhaps someone had entered the Qi'an Palace?

Knowing that Hu Ziyu and his party would not rashly charge onto the Emotion-Severing Bridge again, Ling Chi felt relieved enough to return to the mountaintop. Unbuttoning his robes, he saw that the wounds slashed by Hu Ziyu's fan blade were slowly seeping fresh blood. Although the cuts were not deep, Ling Chi had never been able to stem the bleeding, and it had stained his entire chest red.

Taishi Ci's resentful expression right before his departure caused Liu Tianhao and Mi Zhu to burst into hearty laughter.

This guy simply wasn't human. Sometimes, both she and Chen Dong felt it utterly unbelievable that Qin Feng was their classmate.

Ling Chi galloped away on his horse, not casting a single nostalgic glance backward as he charged straight into the fierce wind. After traveling for only about half a day, he had nearly reached a stronghold in the Central Plains. This stronghold was not very large, and not finding any familiar generals or acquaintances among the people there, Ling Chi simply asked for directions and hurried off once more.

The Treaty of Nerchinsk was a rather miraculous treaty; both signing parties actually profited handsomely, yet both remained deeply resentful, feeling that their own side had drawn the short straw.

"Yo-ho, you must be outsiders, right? To dare act so arrogant here in Zhuozhou territory!" Seeing that Liu Tianhao completely ignored him, the rogue instantly felt he had lost face.

Feng Liugong, known as the "Seven-Absolute Poison Geezer," also seemed utterly shocked by the news that Ling Chi was still alive, especially since he was one of those who had witnessed Ling Chi leap off the cliff with his own eyes.

What kind of person was Zhang Rang? He was a monstrously formidable old eccentric who had served by the emperor's side for so long—what kind of schemes and plots had he not witnessed? The moment he saw Jia Xu's expression, he hurriedly waved his attendants away, leaving only the two of them in the main hall.

Tong Xia thought for a moment, and abruptly felt that something was amiss as well; there seemed to be many hostile gazes in the surrounding area fixated on them.

However, as expected, the 'corpse' on the ground did not splatter a single drop of blood, but instead gradually turned into piles of yellow soil.

City C reacted swiftly and sealed Liu Guyu's house. Xi Yao subsequently posted a photograph, and everyone with idle time rushed over to drool over the screen.

Because of the previous collision of fists, Lucario's physical strength was already inferior to Slaking's, and his right arm had been struck numb by a single punch from Slaking. It would take a few minutes for his right arm to recover its function.

Whether out of anger or something else, Chen's father still hadn't thought about the real significance of Chen Moyan wanting to transfer her household registration.

"Let's go to Guanyan Hotel," Qiu Qi wanted to check and see if Guoguo had been taken home by some overbearing CEO president.

"Go clean yourself up properly, lest you dirty my room," Wei Han said, her eyes filled with undisguised disgust.

Charizard casually spat out a fireball toward the Gengar that was making funny faces over there. Gengar instantly stopped grimacing, nimbly darted behind a rock wall, formed dark shadow balls in both hands, and hurled them at Charizard.

At this thought, his heart sank. He recalled the incident years ago when Ye Hua poisoned the child in Ye Shuwan's womb. At that time, consumed by rage and panic, he hadn't thought much about it. Now, however, his suspicions toward Ye Shuwan were growing stronger by the day, and whenever past events came to mind, he preferred not to dwell on them.

Kushina stepped forward in an embrace, holding him tightly as emotional tears welled up and streamed down the corners of her eyes.

"You'll know once you get there." There was no longer any room for her in Jiang Sihao's eyes; without even turning her head, her peach-blossom eyes yearned anxiously for the palace gates, looking as though she were gazing out across endless autumn waters.

I looked down and saw that the call was from Heroic Brother. Knowing something must have happened, I didn't hesitate, quickly walked off to an isolated room, and answered the call.

After reviewing some of Xiao Shuyue's rudimentary plans, Liyang resolutely decided to entrust this matter to Xiao Shuyue to carry out.

Actually, I felt quite sympathetic toward Gasol. For someone of his age to still be struggling to survive in a place like this—if the living conditions were too harsh, it certainly would not bode well for the old man.

Before she could move, Chu Yun walked out holding duck necks in his left hand and a plate of beggar's chicken in his right.

When Xiao Shuyue finally finished discussing these matters with the craftsmen and returned to the front, the guard came forward to report that the matriarchs of the several great clans were requesting an audience with Xiao Shuyue.
