Chapter 93: Cruel-Hearted

"Stop right there."

A voice rang out from upstairs, and it was Su Tang.

Li Qingtian appeared, holding the silver fish bag.

Then someone whispered something to the official from the Capital Magistrate's Office. Su Tang knew it was likely about her identity, so she simply stated: "I am an eyewitness. I saw with my own eyes that they provoked the fight, and as the proprietor of the Cloud-Wind Tower, I was forced to intervene. I did so for the safety of everyone present, as well as for the centuries-old reputation of the Cloud-Wind Tower."

"If Your Honor insists on taking away the young lady of the Defender of the State's Estate—"

Ghosts lacked physical forms, making physical attacks ineffective against these ghostly entities, and the vast majority of spells were useless against them as well.

If she remembered correctly, Mr. Zhang had said that this was specially instructed by the Chairman's wife.

The others also scrambled away; some leapt into the water, while others darted into the alleys, vanishing completely in an instant.

Indeed, in the Su Realm of the Ninth Uncle, he could already be considered one of the top powerhouses. Yet in front of this shadow, he was still merely a mortal.

However, Su Jun showed no intention of stopping; Blood Maiden and Princess Lan were even lifted into mid-air by their throats.

Knowing that if he didn't get straight to the point, Qi Huainan would just keep running circles around him, Qi Tingshan stopped wasting words and directly came to settle accounts.

After enrolling, I learned that Professor Cui Yayong had persisted with this theory at the academy for many years, yet he could produce no solid experimental data to prove it. Consequently, he was sneered at and looked down upon by many in the School of Life Sciences. Isolated by numerous colleagues, his research funding was naturally pitifully small.

The drug dealer happily accepted the envelope from Shen Fei and pushed a box across the table toward him.

"Although I had decided to wait until after the spiritual tide to take revenge, I can collect a bit of interest right now."

Their movements slowed down, and it was done on purpose. They knew very well that if Yang Yang kept fighting in that manner, they would be placed in an extremely passive position. The longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it would be for them. Therefore, they slowed down their pace with the intent of creating an opportunity for Yang Yang.

With most of the people gone, the living room was suddenly left with only me and my mother-in-law. Although she looked pretty much the same as before, a knot remained in my heart, and I couldn't help feeling a bit guilty whenever I faced her.

Just as mentioned before, the Chen family was wealthy and powerful, and there were countless people trying every possible means to swindle money or even attempt kidnapping. Chen Jiran simply had no time to care.

Seeing that she had relaxed, Wang Man stopped teasing her. With a shift of their steps, the two entered the inner chamber, tumbled onto the bed, and became intertwined.

Harboring sorrow, it is better to go and see that land, pouring upon it a bottle of Chinese white liquor.

Judging from the constant emanation of water spiritual energy from his body, this person was also a cultivator. Through the cleansing of the Water Origin Technique, he had completely revealed his true appearance.

Looking at him like this, he didn't look sick at all as Lady Ye had claimed; instead, he looked just as I had suspected. I looked in bewilderment as his figure quickly vanished from my sight, opened my mouth, and ultimately obediently went to cook the noodles.

Gu Xixi did not want to talk too much about herself and Chen Jiran to others and wanted to leave first, but her phone suddenly rang.

The pale-faced man knew he could not match the other's strength, so he resorted to hit-and-run tactics. Relying on the Netherworld Sect's bizarre movement techniques, Huang Xuer could not harm him and instead found himself in danger several times, infuriating Huang Xuer to the point of loud bellows.

"Does it mean that from now on I have to report to you before speaking or chatting with anyone?" The anger I had held back all evening could no longer be contained. I felt that he was simply picking a fight on purpose—wasn't it just out of fear that Guo Yuqing would find out his sexual orientation? Did he have to resort to such roundabout sarcasm toward me?

Now only the Vermilion Bird and the wutong tree were left in the village, and Xiong Zhentian had gone out to search for treasures a few days ago.

Amidst the dust filling the sky, the earth seemed to tremble slightly. A giant royal banner bearing the character "Qin" broke through the dust, followed by countless armored soldiers.

Walking all the way inward along the queue, halfway through, he saw people patrolling near the line. At the sight of those familiar leather scabbards, Baili guessed what was happening.

That massive and long formation seemed endless. They quietly and orderly poured into this huge military camp amidst the torrential rain, calm and serene like fierce lions baring their fangs.

To the rhythm of the battle drums, the two hundred thousand men slowly began to sing, their tragic and fearless voices carrying far away into the distance.

Although the high salary was attractive, everyone in the circle knew how to weigh the situation. It was uncertain how long Stephen Chow could last at the Leung family's company, but Director Shao and Director Zhang had a continuous stream of scripts and could offer more job opportunities in the future. In the long run, maintaining good relations with the two major directors was the wise choice.

Daoist Guangcheng was not in anxious either. The timing to deal with Xuanqing was not yet ripe. Now that it was confirmed Xuanqing was indeed Guanshan, that was enough. When Guanshan rebelled and left Fusang Temple, he had taken away a manual of secret techniques and a magical artifact—both crucial and extremely powerful items.

Yet Su Qing had wiped out such a powerful family. If the Lin family could swallow the Chu family's influence, their strength would increase tremendously. Lin Baixue could already foresee the Lin family reaching unprecedented heights and welcoming its peak in her hands.

Su Qing looked at Sun Yuqian's glamorous face before him and could not help leaning in to kiss her, but Sun Yuqian shyly dodged away.

Zhang Yu was on the verge of breakdown, tears streaming down continuously. The person he hated most was Su Qing; the one he secretly loved had been stolen by Su Qing, his object of fantasy was also Su Qing's, and now even his elder sister, who was like a mother to him, had been snatched away by Su Qing.

At this moment, looking down from above without a trace of a smile on his face, his tone was actually provocative, bearing no resemblance to the humble gentleman he appeared to be when he first showed up. The crowd looked at each other in dismay, none of them speaking.

Later, Jiang Yue and Song Shixian organized personnel to search out and calculate all historical records of solar eclipses, discovering that the time difference of eclipses had a direct correlation with the east-west positional difference along the same latitude of the observation points.

At this moment, I did not habitually light a cigarette, but instead pulled out the bank card containing the 500,000 savings from my pocket and held it up before my eyes, staring at it.

However, as long as the war in Luoyang did not end, the pressure on Guanzhong could not be eased. Chen Gong knew this, Gu Yong knew this, and Dong Chendao, Lü Meng, and Xu Shu all knew it as well. Likewise, they believed that Cao Cao in Xingyang knew it too.

Qiao'er held back the tears in her eyes. At that moment, she spotted the Life-Prolonging Pill in Ye Ming's hand, and the sight only made her heartache worse. Clearly, Ye Ming had intended to take the Life-Prolonging Pill just moments before, but before he could swallow it, he had already fallen into unconsciousness.

Watching the Ye family and the Eighth Military Region being battered into such a state by Ye Shaoying, Ye Shaofeng felt extremely distressed as well. Had he known it would turn out like this, he would have been better off letting Ye Shaoqiang become the head of the Ye family back then.

With a "drop," a single droplet of blood fell onto Zhu Xia's eyelid. Whether due to the physical stimulus caused by the falling droplet or not, Zhu Xia's eyelid twitched slightly.

"Yes, Your Highness. They have crossed Togobeli and are now advancing toward the western mountainous region."

Su Qing suddenly remembered that there was still one most crucial question she hadn't asked—the key point was their exact location at the extreme poles.

"Dragon Fire Bullet!" she muttered heavily in her heart, and a burst of fire dragon instantly spewed from her mouth, circling around her body to disperse those lingering souls.

Xiao Yihan and his companion stopped beside her, gazed at the straw bed, and said, "Chenxi must have slept here." Because the front half of the straw bed was clearly compressed, while the back part remained flat. Among Tang Heng and the others, the only one who met this condition was Chenxi.
