Chapter 26: Vexation
Behind the screen.
Bu Qingyi’s expression changed dramatically, and anxiety had already taken hold of his heart. The methods he used in his secret investigation indeed violated the laws of the land, but there was simply no other way. Qin Xiao’s face remained calm as he cast a cool glance at Tang Sicheng. Suddenly, he placed both hands firmly on Tang Sicheng’s shoulders.
“Dear Tang, I examined these records myself…”
Because it was their first visit to the aquarium, the two brothers were fascinated by all the creatures inside, leaving their footprints in almost every exhibition hall. The early winter sunlight streamed through the windows, bathing their faces in warmth, filling the room with a sense of peace and comfort.
“A strong one? Hah, you have no understanding of what strength means. Those you call strong are nothing but ants to me,” said the Crown Prince of Red Flame. With a thunderous roar, the surrounding energy rose to several times its previous intensity, and the formation began to collapse.
The ancestral Fan family of Fanyang were newcomers, having only recently moved here. If it had been the likes of Wang, Xie, Yu, or Yuan, local noble families, the manor would have been even more magnificent.
“No need for a breakthrough; if you wish to fight, even now, I can make you die once more,” Yang Lin replied coolly. Qi Qingshan was both angry and anxious, thankful that Wen Yuhe wasn’t entirely witless, at least remembering to disguise herself when hiring help.
Before his words finished, the old lady slapped my arm, the pain sharp even through my coat.
What Chu Wan hadn’t expected was that, even though she arrived forty minutes early and was downstairs before eight, the lobby of Jiang Sheng Group was already bustling with employees coming in for work.
A worthless person suddenly awakening an extraordinary constitution—how many would covet that? Since then, Li Xiang had reduced time spent on marksmanship training, adding more hours to reviewing his own recorded footage.
People passed by the blue-clad youth’s stall, joking and laughing; seeing Meng Qizhao, some ignored him, some watched for amusement, some looked down upon him.
“These peach blossom pills likely aren’t poisonous, but whether they harm the body is hard to say.” Doctor Xu genuinely admired the apprentice of the imperial physician; to craft medicine like this, how would anyone know what ingredients were inside?
Gao Lan heard movement and glanced toward the source, then quietly walked over. The news about Lan Zhao’s impending marriage had left her shaken, and with Xian Mo inviting her out, she’d forgotten to remind him to prepare gifts.
That Mr. Su was so wealthy, able to fund the Crown Prince and establish the Society of Light—he couldn’t possibly be just a simple scion of a noble family! What business lies behind him?
She said the room had been cleaned thoroughly, so how could insects get in? Yet for years she couldn’t find the real culprit, never considering whether he’d return to see her, so she never suspected who had taken advantage of her.
One rejoiced, four despaired; Fei Ziyan’s master’s fate was settled, and Qian Xi too was chosen by Iron Monk.
She owned only this dress, not even a jacket. If he asked her to undress, wasn’t he just a rogue?
Hahaha, thinking of this, Qian Nai couldn’t help but laugh inwardly. At this moment, Sato Miki reminded her so much of Sanada Genichiro, while Ezaki Yoko seemed very much like Kirihara Akaya.
Police and soldiers arrived but were soon driven out by local gangs; before the gangs could swallow the area, a team of a hundred moved straight into the villa.
Hua Second Mistress was far from kind; holding to the principle of cutting weeds and removing roots, she had to kill Ren Tianshan to eliminate future trouble.
The wind blew, leaves danced and fell onto her hand. Gu Rong was about to remove them, but the person beside her beat her to it. She glanced sideways; amidst the breeze, he stood in flowing white robes, a smile at his lips, gazing back at her.
