Lu Dashan scratched his head and looked around, while Li Qingtian did not glance this way either. Their hushed voices seemed audible only to the two of them.

"Woof, woof..."

Big Black came running from afar, wagging its tail vigorously. Yet, its master did not even look at it.

"Whimper..."

Big Black could only pace around in circles. The servants and maids in the manor kept their heads bowed, as if they had seen nothing at all.

Su Tang’s lips remained still. There was no expression on her face—or perhaps, by now, she had forgotten how to display any expression at all. A girl like her, raised in a golden cradle within a wholesome family, never wished to touch the dark, unimaginable struggles of others.

The central pillar of telekinesis was designed to render the surroundings transparent, providing a clear view of the environment, while the surrounding pillars likely each possessed their own unique functions.

Jiang Xuelin performed the Eight Methods of the Spirit Turtle. Silver needles flew from his hands like a spirit snake darting its tongue, or a divine turtle exploring the path—agile, graceful, and vanishing in an instant.

"Yes, Brother Feng. You only stayed for ten minutes during your last visit, yet your guidance was incredibly beneficial to everyone," Shazi said.

Zhong Siying ignored him and jerked the steering wheel, causing the car to shake as if it were about to flip over at any moment.

"Hmph, who do you think you are? What right do you have to drive me away? I am staying here today!" Upon hearing him dismiss her time and again, Leng Weiyi felt a surge of fury. Did Feng Yixuan truly despise her that much?

For instance, they could not drive their car in today because they had arrived in a different vehicle; it was not the same one they used during their last visit to Harunburg.

She was a person of intense curiosity. After truly reading her husband’s diary, she felt nothing but regret—endless regret.

Huanyan nodded, watching the retreating backs of her parents. Such quiet, beautiful days were truly beyond words. Who could guarantee they would maintain such devotion for decades on end?

There were about a hundred fish in the pool, swimming as if suspended in mid-air, with nothing to support them. The sunlight shone down, casting their shadows clearly upon the stones below. They remained perfectly still, then darted away in an instant, darting back and forth as if sharing in the joy of the visitors.

"You wretch! How dare you rebel against me? See if I don’t beat you to death today!" Jiang Zu’an was furious, his eyes bloodshot; he was consumed by the desire to strike Jiang Chuxia down.

"I suspect she has a way to get inside. Don’t forget, the venue for the group competition is also owned by the Star Realm Trade Alliance. I refuse to believe they don’t have a back door," Meng Xingchen said with great certainty.

It was nothing but a weasel paying respects to a chicken—a gesture of ill intent. Did she think she was still the gullible Jiang Chuxia of the past? Back then, she had spent plenty of time scavenging in the fields to earn money: picking wild vegetables to sell in the spring, gathering river snails and catching frogs and fish in the summer, gleaning rice in the autumn, and even catching hibernating snakes in the fields during the winter.

Li Yeqing had always been a man of decisive action. Since he intended to win back Lu Youyou, he had to prepare a series of arrangements.

"We will use the consortium’s people to hold off the final pursuers, and use the terrain of the ruins to stall them while we wait for our reinforcements to arrive!" Su Qing replied.

Upon hearing that Li Feng was a murderer, the Wang family members were incensed and ready to rush forward to beat him. Wang Tian, however, stopped them, telling them that since Li Feng was now a murderer, the relevant authorities would naturally arrive to arrest him soon.

Although Xue Gang liked her, he loved martial arts even more. The moment Qin Yun began to demonstrate, he watched intently, and in an instant, he was mesmerized, his eyes unable to leave Qin Yun’s sword.

With the auction house at the center, the rest area was divided into six sections: three on the commercial side, and three on the side of the concentration camp.

Han Xiufeng suddenly realized that the first charge in Yang Nengge’s impeachment was that he had accepted bribes from Wu Jianzhang and had run about campaigning to clear Wu’s name. Since the Emperor had already pardoned Wu Jianzhang, Yang Nengge’s insistence on pursuing the matter would naturally displease Wu.
