Volume One, Chapter 163: Easy Money

Su Tingxue felt a sudden surge of excitement, her eyes brightening. If she could earn money this way, would she be on the fast track to wealth? Yet, at the same time, Su Tingxue was no fool.

It was not until Dongxue brought her to the shore that someone came to question them. Dongxue merely produced a token that Ji Ruhuan had never seen before and tossed out a few perfunctory words in the Western Xia language. The Western Xia soldiers immediately bowed in respect and turned to leave.

Those eyes were as clear as blue water; one more glance would draw him in deeply, never to escape again.

"He is truly dead," Boro affirmed. He was certain that the Blood Demon had died this time, although he did not know how the end had come about, as he had been in a state of chaotic unconsciousness at the time.

With this person having lost control, Baochun and her daughter, by contrast, felt their initial fright dissipate, their hearts finally at ease.

Therefore, when the old man spoke at the eighty-ninth royal private banquet, everyone present wore a solemn expression, filled with the utmost reverence.

Upon hearing Pei Shiyin's words, Pei Zhenteng began to feel that something was amiss. Her tone was icy and harsh, hardly resembling a typical lovers' quarrel.

Meanwhile, a life-or-death struggle was unfolding in the outside world. Murong He’s left-hand Green Lotus Sword, used to block the reflection, faltered for a mere hundredth of a breath, and the two Green Lotus Swords crossed in an instant.

By now, Ji Feiyan had mostly calmed down, yet she felt an extraordinary sense of regret. She regretted being so impulsive and losing her composure; thinking back on her bedraggled appearance, she wished she could dig a hole and bury herself. She truly had no face left to show anyone.

Finally, at half-past six, a loud "thud" dimmed the lights in the assembly hall, replaced by several spotlights converging on the stage directly opposite the main entrance.

"No," Mrs. Xiao replied. Her health was actually quite robust. Even though her family had not been particularly attentive after her stroke last year, she had managed to hold on until now. Whether she had improved or not was unclear, but she was certainly still alive.

As Yang Yiyun listened to the Qilin Soul, he felt his heart tremble. The information revealed in the spirit’s words was overwhelming.

Engaging in a mental confrontation with Hongyue, she not only defeated her but also sensed certain things within Hongyue’s spiritual core.

Xia Xin laughed it off, claiming that whether it was jumping from trees, cars, or windows, he had plenty of experience; it was hardly a problem at all.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the doors of Tong'an Hall remained closed. Everyone was anxious but unable to get inside. Liang Huan even brought a ladder, intending to climb over the wall, but before he could reach the top, Sun Ren startled him so badly he nearly fell.

Old Wei naturally took on the task. As for manpower, he had five hundred men from the Shadow Hall at his disposal. Spreading them out to scan areas with surveillance was no difficult feat.

He did not even hold the third-rate factions of the martial arts world in high regard, let alone some lousy organization like this.

This was a divine artifact for countering ability power early on, completely extinguishing LeBlanc’s desire to initiate a kill and forcing her into a passive state.

We sat down and waited, and sure enough, in less than ten minutes, Lei Laohu called.

"Go to the calligraphy and painting shop next to the school. I’ll have someone open a private room just for you!" Jing Ci pulled out his phone and sent a text message immediately.

After loosening his foot from Liu Deyun’s face, Situ Junshu continued, "Do you know why I stepped on your face? I have to admit one thing: your dog face is indeed much more handsome than mine."
