Chapter 53: The Courtyard Where She Once Lived

In the original memories, Li Qingtian was a contingency left by the mother, so how had he ended up leaving the Duke of National Stability’s mansion? The mother in those memories was merely an ordinary woman—how could she possibly have any connection to the Duke’s household?

Su Tang didn’t know if Li Qingtian was as shocked as she was, but she herself was stunned all the way to the inner courtyard. Passing through layers of corridors, endless flower gardens and flowerbeds stretched out, and at the innermost Jade Serenity Garden, the servants were numerous. Especially the maids near the entrance, dressed in brocades and silks, were no less splendid than herself.

Anna was dizzy from his shaking, but she still tried hard to suppress the impulse to shake off his hand. “Young master, young master! Calm down!” Anna raised her voice slightly. “If you keep shaking like this, I don’t know what to say!” No sooner had she spoken than Cecil released Anna’s hand.

The Tiger King of the Demon Realm’s eyes suddenly blazed with countless rays of light upon seeing this. With a malicious grin, he approached Ma Jiangming and the others, beginning to carry out a punishment that was truly harrowing to behold. At once, heartrending screams filled the air.

Ji Meng stared blankly up at the crescent moon hanging in the sky, sometimes feeling as happy as if bathed in spring warmth, other times furrowing his brows in sorrow, burdened with heavy thoughts. He realized that his cold heart was gradually melting under the light radiating from the bright moon.

At that moment, since the wound had just been treated, the young lady was still asleep, and Shen Mingxuan did not disturb her.

Mu Xifeng heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, found a chair, and sat down. He recounted everything about Sword Sovereign City and his companions’ dealings, including the images seen inside the Heavenly Mirror of the King’s Artifact.

“It only struck the abdomen, it’s not fatal yet,” Lin Chuxia withdrew her hand and glanced at the Western Princess’s belly.

Coral’s choice, though unsatisfactory to the sect leaders, was the best outcome, for it left hope for every sect present.

Shen Mingle had always enjoyed visiting the Imperial Consort, but now that Lin Chuxia was in the palace, he rarely went there anymore.

The brief year of preparatory studies passed in the blink of an eye. Summer vacation was just a few days away, meaning the companions who had spent the year together would soon part ways. Though they had been together for only a year, their bonds were strong, and somehow, a faint sadness of farewell had quietly settled in the dormitory.

“Ling Huan, are you feeling better? Does your head still hurt?” Mo Tian sat beside Mo Linghuan, speaking softly. Mo Linghuan’s lips curled into a faint smile as she chuckled gently, “Dad! I’m fine now, my head doesn’t hurt anymore. You don’t need to worry.” Tears shimmered in her eyes.

Even as the deputy island lord, facing the island lord himself, he still trembled with fear and dread.

Before long, a cluster of nine-colored divine radiance caught up, piercing into his body in an instant. The captain of the law enforcement team’s expression dramatically changed, filled with endless terror. He finally understood what the life-or-death crisis was: this nine-colored light was devouring all his essence. He struggled to resist, but it continued to slowly consume him.

The entire room watched her eat. If she weren’t so hungry at that moment, she might not have had an appetite. Yet Huang Mingyue paid no heed to anyone else, persistently stuffing food into her mouth and even occasionally bringing her a bowl of soup, coaxing and urging her to drink it.

Li Liang saw a trace of blood at the corner of Sun Li’s mouth and immediately looked up sharply, demanding explanations from Zhang Meng on the martial stage.

Despair was etched deep in his eyes. He had thought Xun You would break through the encirclement, but unexpectedly, Xun You had been captured. Moreover, Zhang Ren was still waiting ahead.

“Brother Xiahou, the monster is about to emerge. Why don’t you leave this place quickly?” Ye Mo turned to Xiahou and said. His impression of Xiahou was not bad, which was why he was willing to lend a hand.

He drove away, then entered a hotel. The man took the elevator to the top floor and walked to a private room. He opened the door and stepped inside.
