Volume 1, Chapter 64: The Plan Remains Unchanged

"But..." Shen Mubai wanted to say something more, but meeting the teacher's stern expression, he finally fell silent.

Lin Sixian suddenly felt his mouth go dry and immediately averted his gaze, only to run into Song Ruyu's bright, limpid apricot-shaped eyes, which were looking at him with great vitality. His throat tightened, and his heart skipped a beat with panic. He hurriedly shifted his gaze away again, staring guiltily at the pastries on the table.

At that time, due to a hangover from the previous night, the Second Prince had not yet fully sobered up when he entered the palace during the day, and was thus muddle-headedly dragged before Emperor Jin'an.

"You..." He had truly reached a point of utter madness. Just how deep a hatred must he harbor to treat his mother with such ruthlessness? Could not even his mother's death appease the resentment in his heart?

A roar echoed in Chiba's mind, and he seemed not to have fully snapped back to reality yet. Just a moment ago, he had clearly heard Liyou's voice; even though Liyou had not uttered a sound externally, he had inexplicably heard it inside his head.

A finger probed inward, and the soft red tongue had no choice but to collide with it. The two of them simultaneously shivered.

Chen Mo did not have the time to look closely at the moment; he simply swallowed a healing pill of superior quality to mend himself.

Tang Ning'an and Ningning did not arrive too early, but they were not late either. The exterior of the hotel was already packed with luxury cars, with people coming and going in a bustling, lively scene.

"This is the newly arrived disciple in green. From now on, this herb garden will be under his care, and you are to follow his orders in the future," Elder Tong said.

"Eat your buns! Eat your buns! You talk so much nonsense, yet your mouth never seems to dry out!" Zhou Liya stood up, eagerly pouring tea and serving water. After Nalan finally managed to swallow the bun, he hastily shoved the cup to his lips and forcefully made him gulp it down.

You have done so much, yet they do not appreciate your kindness and keep calling you a monster. This is all their way of driving you away! Didn't you hear them?

Suspended in mid-air right between the two streams of crowds, the pill cauldron resembled an open-air hot spring, emitting heat. In this cold weather, taking a soak in it would also be a kind of enjoyment.

"In addition, there will be a strange transformation tomorrow. You must seize the opportunity to win people over to our side!" Ming Siyuan said suddenly with a mysterious air.

This member of the Ram Gang immediately dropped to his knees and begged for mercy in a loud voice, but before he could finish his sentence, he was slapped flying by Gatra just like the previous Ram Gang member, landing heavily on the ground and remaining motionless.

You were right about one thing earlier: "A great king should have a king's sense of responsibility." When we make a mistake, we should accept our punishment like men. Involving innocent family and friends can hardly be considered the act of a hero.

It must be known that this notebook was used by Ming Siyuan to record the soldiers of the Returning Army who had sacrificed their lives. According to Ming Siyuan, he wanted to use it in the future to visit the homes of those Yanyue wanderers who could not return and fell along the way, to tell them the truth and fulfill their final wishes.

Mu Nanting's habitually calm face seemed to have a fracture, and anger was continuously seeping out from the crack.

Tang Yihui immediately raised his head and composed his emotions. "No! It's great, it's really great!" Tang Yihui said with a smile.

"At the end of this grassland, there is a Vast Cold Palace, and inside the Vast Cold Palace, a beauty keeps a rabbit!" Li Mo replied in this manner.

Quehuan did not stay long and directly returned to Qijue Peak. Whether it was due to some epiphany regarding Shadow's incident or not, Quehuan now longed immensely to see Rongli.

Therefore, not long ago, Xiao Shensen made this decision. Although she could not accompany them every day here on Itogami Island, it was at least better than before, since her workplace was now mostly fixed on Itogami Island.

How many times had he traveled back in dreams to the past—filled with both sorrow and joy? Yet how was he to face the future alone from now on? Bearing the heavy responsibility of protecting all living beings, he could not simply end his life to escape the inner torment. Was he destined to let such bitterness linger in his heart forever, without end? Was this a punishment, a curse, a predestined fate, or a samsaric cycle?

Zhao Fuxin said coldly, his bloodshot eyes glaring at Yue Yun, startling the latter quite a bit.

"Him?" Gao Jie was clearly taken aback. As far as she knew, the two of them were meeting for the very first time; why would Mengjie be willing to let Tianyu take her out to play?

This man's style of conduct might not be all that forbearing, but in reality, he was not the type to harbor deep, vicious schemes or use unscrupulous means to achieve his goals.

"What do you guys think?" Hearing this, Liang Baizhan turned his head to look at Feng Qian and Hu Benyi beside him. The expressions on all three faces appeared somewhat startled, and when they looked again at the smiling and triumphant Green Barrier Demon, their expressions turned somewhat stern.

Guan Nianxin chimed in like she was joining the fun, giggling merrily. Her wide, blinking eyes looked with interest at Guan Chenji and Gu Meng, as if she understood what the adults were talking about.

Since that fellow Xiaohou Ce had saddled her with such an absurd contract, and she didn't want to busy herself with too many trivial matters, she would leave many of those affairs to her father and the shopkeepers below. After all, she didn't truly plan to settle down in this Jin State; her ultimate goal was still to return to the modern era.

The envoy to the Qi State this time was personally chosen by Zhao Gao, but among his many ministers, Zhao Gao seemed unable to find a suitable candidate. He thought of Zhang Jun, who had been cast aside; this man was utterly loyal to the Great Song and advocated for a northern expedition, yet he had been dismissed over a certain incident. Zhao Gao intended to use this opportunity to reinstate Zhang Jun in order to balance the faction of Qin Hui.

However, in the year the two sons turned five, rumors inexplicably spread throughout the Lingyun Prince's Mansion that the Heir Apparent had died prematurely in childhood. From then on, the Heir Apparent seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving not a single trace or the slightest piece of news behind. As days passed, everyone eventually came to believe this rumor.
