Chapter 93: The Sudden Explosion

In the dead of night, Qin Xiao sat alone on the roof, gazing up at the star-filled sky.

His mind was crowded with the words Qin Tiangang had spoken that day.

And in the memories of his former self, all that remained of the Ninth Imperial Uncle were scattered fragments from childhood. In the recollections of adulthood, there was almost nothing at all.

Yet slowly, Qin Xiao began to recover the memories of Xuan'er.

...

“It needs to look as if it has been used for a very long time. Best if it’s coated with a layer of incense ash on the outside,” Yang Bo said.

Perhaps only alcohol could numb her pain, erase her resentment toward her sister, and make her forget her devotion to Chu Nan.

Later, another group arrived. I knew them even better; they were the people Adu had once brought with him. We had been among the first to form an alliance, and in the past we had spent a long time together.

Standing tall, he swept his gaze across the four directions. Everyone bowed respectfully, and Bai Feng returned a smile, appearing warm and approachable.

Mao Feijie’s eyes were full of killing intent, with a trace of disdain mixed in, while Wang Jing gave him a crooked grin and did not care in the slightest.

The teachers also knew we were looking forward to the trip the day after tomorrow, so these past two days they thoughtfully arranged first-semester examinations for us. It was nothing like the national entrance exams, but it still counted toward our regular credits, so everyone was careful and, at last, a little more serious.

“Courting death!” The man had not expected Zhou Yun to say that, and immediately let out a furious roar before lunging straight at him.

Young Master Huang’s face was extremely ugly, shocked and enraged. Of course his money had not been earned by proper means. Over the past year, ever since his father took office in Jiangling City, he had relied on his father’s name to make quite a lot on the side.

“You should not be too careless either. Chu Wanxiang is a clever woman. We cannot afford to underestimate her. She will not be easy to deal with,” the Empress Dowager reminded her.

I had thought the “good place” Uncle Zhou had mentioned was truly some fine spot, only to discover it was a broken temple.

She tapped it open and saw that it had been transferred by Shanshan. Just as she was about to call to ask about it, a message from Shanshan came in on WeChat.

That damned man—if only she had let herself be led around by him just now. Perhaps the kissing would already be over, and he would have let her go back to sleep.

The pure white battle robe behind him also fluttered in the wind. Fine patterns were embroidered across it, shimmering with silver light, like a drifting cloud.

The ministers in the imperial court trembled on their feet. On ordinary days, His Majesty would ascend the throne by the hour of the dragon, and the officials had to arrive outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony by the hour of the hare.

Although she said she was a weapon and I was her master, from this perspective it seemed more as though she were my master.

For some reason, after my father’s body had soaked in the water for several days, it had shown no change at all, exactly as it had when I first saw him.

After that, the man came before Martin. Martin felt the eyes hidden beneath his hood were assessing him.

A young man in black stepped forward slowly, his face cold and severe, his gaze extraordinarily sharp.

“Come in, and keep quiet.” Seeing that he had already entered the dining room, Wu Xiao smiled and motioned toward the office with his hand.

“No, not at all. I just don’t know how to put on these human clothes!” Hu Xiangtian shook his head and explained.

“Third Fool, listen carefully to me. Don’t talk as if you can scare me with this little business of yours. If you push me too far today, I’ll smash this place too,” Zhu Xuemei said arrogantly, not showing the slightest respect for Third Fool.

“See? I told you. You want to buy a shell company for ten billion? There’s no such cheap deal,” Bai Xue said, which was also a way of pressing Wu Xiao for a better price.

“I’m telling you, I’ve endured you for a long time. From the moment you betrayed me, I began planning my revenge! Tell me, how do you think I’ll deal with you?” Yan'er laughed.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Qing and the others also stopped in their tracks. Everyone knew this was a golden opportunity; if they could get on AATV, that would be something extraordinary.
