Volume 1, Chapter 27: The Appointment Letter

Dominating. That is the Chen Chumou I, Chen Hongxia, hold in my heart. His words and his ambitions are enough to stir excitement; it is hard not to admire a man like Chen Chumou.

Upon entering the apothecary, the physician, seeing that it was the King’s City guard, could not help but show a trace of panic in his expression.

The couple locked eyes for a long time before their gazes finally settled, fading like a shooting star that vanishes as quickly as it appears in the night sky. They both understood that who the mastermind was mattered little at this moment; what mattered most were the clues leading back to their master.

The physician opened the cap of the golden sore ointment he held, took a small cotton swab, and began applying the medicine to the wounds on the body of the Prime Minister of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom.

"Are you happy?" After what seemed like a very long time, Su Ci asked in a daze, as if speaking to himself. Su Qing ignored him, sitting silently to the side with a distant look, lost in thought.

"This Nan Kongqian—he actually isn't sending anyone out of the city to track down the Poison Scorpion. Does he not care at all that the Poison Scorpion has escaped?" Qian Fanmeng could not help but knit her brows.

The Imperial Mausoleum of the Yan Kingdom was where the members of the Yan royalty were laid to rest. Everyone of royal blood who passed away was interred within these grounds.

"You... you shameless person, devoid of any sense of shame! It is such a base and vulgar thing, yet you laugh so wantonly." Seeing Xiao Yang’s brilliant smile, Liang Yongxin pointed at him, her eyes reddening.

However, he intended to use Lin Chen’s punch as an opportunity to escape. Yet, Lin Chen had long since discovered the intentions of these two burly men; how could he be so foolish?

"Every idler in the village will go. Whoever dares not to, I will break their legs." Ma Jin suddenly stood tall as a righteous man, though this righteousness seemed somewhat isolated and weak.

By using a method no one could have anticipated to gloss over everything, if any trouble arose later, it would no longer be his problem, but theirs. At most, the imperial court would provide a venue for them to settle their disputes; as for the rest, that was their own affair.

The plains of Fluke appeared quite tranquil. The floating fortress of Fluke had temporarily ceased its attacks after Li Cha led his troops to reinforce the area. Li Cha had easily reclaimed the several cities that had been occupied, but the floating fortress was not so easily taken, so he pitched camp on the plains directly facing it.

As those who were cast out spread their "terrifying experiences" here to the rest of the world, the situation grew dire.

Liu Qiang, in particular, was embarrassed to the extreme, as he had just moments ago mistaken the incident for one caused by Lin Chen hitting an aircraft.

"Um, what is your name?" Liu Xiaoxiao asked again as she saw Lin Chen preparing to leave.

Wei Zheng’s words held much truth. If one cannot see a thing, it becomes a trouble. The Chinese emphasize that "what one hears is false, and what one sees is true." Without seeing it with one's own eyes, even if it comes from the most trusted person, it is hard to believe.

As he thought and thought, his manhood stirred, and he could not help but indulge in some play within.

Being able to watch him stay at home a little longer and spend more time with her was quite nice. She took it as giving herself a vacation; the two were usually busy with their own affairs, and the time they could spend together like this throughout the day was pitifully scarce.

Kang Peng nodded. "Good. Find a mansion to settle the vassals, entertain them well, and do not show any neglect." Unable to find a proper way to deal with the vassals, Kang Peng decided to keep them under house arrest in Luoyang for the time being.

It seemed that someone in the Gu family did not want them to stay. The Gu family was wealthy and would not lack the food to feed the mother and her two sons. It was likely that someone did not want to see Gu Yan’s leg ailment cured.

The white light rapidly transformed into patches of crimson. A breeze blew, carrying the scent of blood into everyone’s nostrils.

Manman wiped away her tears and nodded, secretly tightening her grip on my hand as she walked, step by step, out of the sacrificial cave.

It was precisely for the sake of survival that they yearned so deeply for the lands of the Central Plains, rather than placing their hopes on the seemingly barren soil beneath their feet.

But regardless, Fujihira Koji still had to show his face; otherwise, a very severe punishment likely awaited him. The way the various domains treated traitors was hair-raising. Even though they had entered a democratic society, most people were still subject to this fate.

"The scene was chaotic to the extreme at the time, and everyone was struggling to save themselves. I did not spot Sister-Apprentice Yun," Weng Qiugong said truthfully.

He suspected that something had gone wrong somewhere, or perhaps this fellow, Mountain Hermit Xiayan, was intentionally fabricating stories to confuse the situation.

Jin Tai performed a somersault in mid-air before crashing down, shattering a giant rock below and even cracking the ground with several fissures.

Lu Xia had been watching nervously from the side. Seeing the old dean’s poor expression, her heart sank. However, before she could speak, the old dean said, "I will take her back and have my old woman look at her. If even she cannot cure her, then your friend... alas." The old dean’s tone was extremely grave.

"I will have the intelligence agents below step up their investigation. I will definitely root out all of the DEM Corporation's hidden forces in Tengu City in the shortest time possible!" Kannazuki Kyohei vowed confidently.

The One-Horned Lion King naturally would not let Sels and his group off so easily, lunging over to harass them from time to time, keeping everyone in a state of high tension.

After much consideration regarding the damage and losses, he had to speak up about the current situation; otherwise, if things continued this way, all four of them would die at the hands of this mutated Iron-Backed Bear boss.

"Since it is your official business, Tianhao, I shall head to the back courtyard!" Upon hearing that Ding Yuan had come to visit Liu Tianhao, Cai Yong rose and walked toward the back courtyard.

Hu Anguo was also troubled by this matter. If Zhao Gou were placed first in the imperial examinations, he would be the "Jieyuan," and his fame would certainly spread far and wide. Locally, everyone would know Zhao Gou’s name, and his deeds would be widely circulated.
