Volume 1 Chapter 31 The Old Beggar

Master entered the inner room, and the cramped space instantly seemed spacious. There was a table inside, along with an expensive chair, both crafted with exquisite care. The light was dim, however, so objects could only be seen by the flickering candlelight.

As soon as he entered, he noticed a man seated in the chair, dressed in a black-and-white robe adorned with ink-wash paintings.

“My lord.”

Seeing her foolish expression, Rong Xun found it rather amusing and reached out to pat her on the head.

“By the time I stepped onto the arena, the challenge had already ended. Even if I hadn’t gone up, this would still have been yours,” Meng Que said.

In truth, the string of beads would never have been worth so much money. But after learning that the family possessed similar strings of beads, he decided to keep the matter in mind. He regarded it as forming a favorable connection; if they needed anything in the future, they could continue doing business together.

Qiu Yang nodded, picked up his and Qiu Yu’s luggage, and walked over. The Heaven-Rending Eagle had also reunited with the other demonic beasts.

The two World King Realm guards and eight Profound Palace Realm guards stationed before Phoenix Spirit Palace in Maple Prefecture had not yet recovered from their surprise when Ye Zhen suddenly closed in on them.

Zhao Yanran had no idea what sort of person Qin Ruoyun truly was, so she could not act too casually. For the moment, she could only lower her stance a little.

Through the image-recording stone, the Second Elder saw something unusual. The hunting eagle had flown rather high while scouting, so the images were not especially clear, but he could make out stone structures resembling city walls.

The sight left every watching cultivator rooted to the spot. For a long while, not a single one of them uttered a word.

Moreover, Ye Rou would be able to obtain more confidential information about the company and provide Ye Fan with more useful intelligence.

Feng Qingyou had actually learned this from an ancient text. Compared with the other domains, the Profound Domain possessed far more knowledge and information about the Six Domains as a whole.

Yuan Zi and Miss Zhi both drew in a sharp breath. The power of the World-Fan Order was truly terrifying; with only a single exchange, Po Luo had been defeated in an instant.

The client was thrown into a panic, feeling as though her life had become utterly bleak. Her eyes brimmed with tears as she pleaded desperately.

There was no keyhole on this lousy iron helmet, so it could not be unlocked in the usual way—but he could simply pry it open with his hands.

She pulled free of Lin Zhao’s grip and opened Weibo herself. Aside from anger, she felt something else as well.

“I’m not forcing myself. This is what I willingly chose to do~” If her father truly severed ties with her, the question would no longer be whether life was meaningful, but whether she could go on living at all.

“This time, I’m afraid we really won’t be able to escape. In less than the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, that Ice Jade Treasure Mirror will see through my illusion formation. It will also bring down a field of light and seal off our path completely!” Liang Siqi said, frowning as well.

Shi Mu wore an expression of absolute determination to protect Lin Zhao’s figure. Ye Jiutian truly wanted to take a picture and show it to Lin Zhao once he came to his senses.

“This is what you’ve always wanted most, my darling, and I’m giving it to you too. I found it a box worthy of it. It may be a little extravagant, but one has to make an impression, don’t you think?” the Creator’s voice drifted over.

It was nothing important. During their phone call that evening, they had started talking about television dramas, and Shi Mu suddenly remembered that the danmei adaptation series she had been following should have aired by then. She needed to see whether it had turned out well or become a disaster.

The Turks broke camp, reorganized their remaining forces, and set off at once. Fortunately, most of the army’s provisions had been stored in Dali County and had not been destroyed, which was a great blessing. Otherwise, once an army of tens of thousands passed beyond Dali, it would face a vast wilderness stretching for a considerable distance with not a soul in sight. They would not even have been able to raid the countryside for provisions.

When Chen Duxiu and Wang Yaqiao steered the discussion toward the question of what socialism was, no one replied. There had always been deep disagreements within the Party on this issue; if they began debating it, they could probably go on for three days and three nights without reaching a conclusion. By then, everyone was deliberately or unconsciously avoiding the subject.
