Volume 1 - Main Text - Chapter 52: Go Call Your Master Here

Yuan Yi’s complexion was already pale, and now it turned even ghastlier. He had no idea what An Jinyan would do next, but it would undoubtedly be detrimental to him, and there was even a strong possibility that she might persecute him. He simply could not figure out why she was asking about Yuan Jie’s whereabouts.

Dragging her by the hand all the way, he arrived before the tent of Military Commander Qu Zhangfeng. Without waiting for the guards to announce them, he stubbornly tried to force his way in, only to be violently intercepted and blocked from entering the doorway.

"You can choose to get out of the car right here, but I must remind you that this is the middle of nowhere, and no taxis pass by." Yun Yixuan said with a hint of threat, while locking the car doors and observing Chu Qinghuan’s expression through the rearview mirror.

He still had no idea what Jiang Longteng had witnessed and felt no other sense of crisis... Though, to be honest, simply working in this company was already the greatest crisis of all.

Although Zhong Qi did not recognize the two people opposite her, she had seen them earlier that noon at Wang Guotai’s wedding banquet. The taller of the two had kept his head lowered all the while, helping to pick up a toppled bicycle before getting on it and riding away.

Was she really destined to be this tragic? It seemed she only held a tiny bit of status among the newcomers at the camp now.

Chu Qinghuan patted her chest, overcome with lingering fear. Just now, if she had been even a fraction of a second slower and that bullet had grazed her leg, that dog’s fate might well have been her own.

His physique belonged to that perfectly proportioned kind—his muscles were strong just to the right degree, a fraction less would make him too frail, and a fraction more would make him too coarse.

Zhou Dezheng was in the shadows, scheming away! His idea was to use every possible means to achieve his goal. As for Liu Liyu’s lack of compromise, in his eyes, it simply meant he hadn't yet found the right breakthrough point. Now was the time for him to give her a proper threat.

Wang Hong was not angry either; in this circle, strength was supreme. Bai Muxin’s strength surpassed his, so he had nothing to say.

That’s right, Ye Jialuo was pulling aggro. The reason she made such a high-profile declaration of war was precisely to draw aggro. In her eyes, every single one of these laws was experience points. If she wanted to level up, she naturally had to kill monsters. Since there were no monsters around, she would just have to pull a wave herself!

On more than one occasion, he had promised his male classmates that he would win Liang Sisi over. Although his previous relationship with Sisi could hardly be called fiery, they had never fallen out or had any major conflicts either.

Grief made the power of the curse seal on his back grow stronger and stronger, and Hideyoshi felt that he was no longer able to control the seal.

Walking at the front of the procession, the elderly man of the Jin clan smiled benignly as he looked at Qingshan, who was bowing respectfully with a reverent expression.

Facing the first half of Tian’s words, Liu Qingsi fell into a silent, helpless acquiescence. There was no way to refuse, nor was there any way to speak of an entire family living and dying together. His son’s life had only just begun; how could he let him meet with any unexpected disaster before even witnessing the magnificent splendor of the world?

However, I almost never succeed. Since success is out of the reach, what difference does it make whether I am dealing with purer dregs or less pure dregs?

Liu Qingyun said, "It must be that guy Muyunshen who paid the bill for you, right? I knew he had designs on you." With that, he let out a mischievous, knowing laugh.

All three returned to their seats and sat down. Bai Muxin put down her phone and went to prepare the dipping sauces.

"You..." Manman glared at me hatefully, biting her lower lip so hard she nearly drew blood.

"I used molecular combination to simulate a substance in nature that relieves nerves! Do you feel a bit less dizzy now?" Wang Xiangying asked softly.

"Fine, I promise you." Granny Wang said with a trace of bitterness in her voice. These were all sins committed in her youth.

Zhou Hai nodded, combined the two laser guns, and tossed them into the air. The two guns then spun in mid-air, firing laser beams in all directions. Zhou Hai manipulated the scattered laser blasts to leap toward Nie Shiying from various angles.

From within came a voice of utter coldness, yet the tone carried the captivating, hypnotic charm of a soaring phoenix or a singing oriole.

To think that during the time she was away, her loyal subordinates had been bearing such immense pressure.

"Yuehua, go and investigate what on earth is going on." Since Yinzhen wanted to protect her, the Primary Consort would not go against him and immediately gave the order.

The Han siblings looked up to him with the respect due to a teacher. If they were to find out he was going to become their stepfather, would they be willing?

Amidst the chorus of praise from everyone around, Lin Rongwei walked around in a daze until he saw that the very first name on the leaderboard was An Xia. She had scored full marks in several subjects like mathematics and physics, and even the ones that weren't full marks were the highest scores. This achievement was simply defying the heavens; the sheer magnitude of these results left him breathless and spinning.

Zhang Xiaosheng’s brow furrowed tightly. He hadn't expected this person to speak to him, but it seemed the man had misunderstood something.

A thick layer of dust had accumulated on the equipment, clearly indicating it hadn't been touched by anyone for who knows how many years.

A hint of solemnity inevitably surfaced in Yuan Zhong’s eyes as he looked at Yuan Lie, yet he remained silent.

The Black-Winged Bee, possessing the strongest martial arts among the four, was killed on the spot by the opponent in a single move. The remaining three were struck with utter terror and dared not close in anymore. The Bee Queen and the Slender-Waisted Bee shouted in unison; one leaped into the air while the other stayed put on the ground, both unleashing hidden weapons simultaneously.

Since the two were naturally in opposition, even if Wei Wuji acted like a cringing grandson, it would only serve to make him looked down upon all the more for nothing.

For an emperor to bestow rewards upon meritorious generals was an elevation in status, but if one were to take it too seriously and press the matter, that would simply be showing a lack of appreciation for favors.

As for the soldiers below, every single one of them was full of high spirits. In their view, this meant following the young master out to win promotions and fortunes once again.

According to Luo Hebin’s estimation, this top-grade spirit stone had been sealed away by some mighty figure. Though no one knew who had cast the seal, precisely because of this, through countless unpredictable changes in the world over the years, this spirit stone had stubbornly managed to survive intact.

He looked very much like a bandit raiding a village, yet he was a bandit of noble bearing.

Earlier on, he had reached a consensus with Wang Lingyun to search together for a way to leave this dreamscape. Fanghua Street was the most chaotic place in Banyan City, teeming with all sorts of dubious characters. Since Gong Ming was very familiar with the area, the task of hunting down new information fell squarely on his shoulders.

Unfortunately, the entire Qin matrimonial delegation was assassinated, and the marriage was left unsettled. Xiaoxiang also gave up the notion of going to the Qin State to enjoy a life of luxury, and was subsequently kept by Ji Wanyue’s side.

The first thing they could ascertain was that they had been kidnapped. This group of people had somehow used trickery during the banquet, causing all the attending officials except him to fall victim and collapse unconscious on the floor. The only thing that couldn't be explained was why he alone was completely unaffected. Could it be that a transmigrator’s constitution was simply different from ordinary people?

Chang Yu’s vision blurred as he instinctively raised his sleeve to shield his eyes. At that very moment, a gust of wind surged directly toward him. Panicking, Chang Yu dodged to the left, only to feel a sharp pain in his chest, accompanied instantly by a dull thud.
