“What! These people are utterly lawless. Tell me, which family’s young master was it? Your sister will stand up for you.”

After hearing Duan Wuhen’s explanation, the ever-justice-minded Di Yiqing was furious.

“Let’s just forget it.”

Su Qingrou did not want to trouble anyone over her own affairs.

Unexpectedly, the moment Di Yiqing took out her police identification, Su Qingrou could no longer hold back and began to sob softly.

“Look! Your sister is a police officer. Whatever happened, tell me. I’ll stand up for you.”

“Wuwuwu... It was the Ouyang family’s third young master—Ouyang Changfeng.”

“Ouyang Changfeng! What nerve! How dare he bully my sister? Come on, I’ll take you to demand...”

By the calculation of one gold ingot equaling ten silver ingots and ten strings of cash, a thousand taels of gold amounted to ten thousand strings of cash—nearly half of Ye Zhong’s total income from all sources at present.

At that moment, the elders of the two clans sat on either side of the Full Moon Sect. Their eyes were filled with envy as they gazed at the sect, showering Yue Lanyun with compliments and praise. The two great Divine Realm experts were consequently even more delighted, bursting into hearty laughter.

Even so, the sisters Zhang Yuelian and Zhang Yuexi had not escaped that strange pattern: in families with older and younger siblings, whether brothers and sisters or sisters among themselves, the elder one was always more mature, more sensible, and better able to fit into society.

Seeing the old principal’s tactful yet firm attitude, the city officials had no choice but to leave with smiles on their faces. After silently reciting the names of the old principal’s relatives to themselves, they returned home.

Bai Zu’s fury achieved nothing. Instead, because of his excessive “righteous” indignation, a flaw appeared in his supposedly flawless, three-hundred-and-sixty-degree defense. Without warning, a green lotus appeared above his head. The lotus continuously bloomed, and with every petal that opened, sword qi shot forth.

“If that is the case, let us verify it. As it happens, Ye Lanyu possesses a fatal piece of evidence—the Frost Wutong.”

There was no longer time to visit Consort Zhao at Lizheng Palace. He had promised to take Li Guo’er out to play, and this was precisely the right time.

“Laziness, report the information properly.” Anger interrupted Laziness’s languid voice and spoke with some irritation.

Princess Yuzhen crouched down, stroked Li Guo’er’s neatly combed hair, and asked with concern.

An Mu smiled and took another step, but when she reached You Yi’s side, he caught hold of her.

A vast amount of information immediately flooded Mu Feng’s mind. Among it was an ancient map marked with several locations—places where some of the great ancient powers had once stood. Unfortunately, after antiquity, the entire continent had split into four parts. Some regions had sunk beneath the sea, and the terrain had changed enormously, making them extremely difficult to find.

Come to think of it, I remember the house next door was sold several months ago. Ah Li actually managed to settle everything in a single day. The power of money is truly terrifying.

Jiang Ning still wanted to say something, but Hua Qianli gave him no opportunity. After roaring like a dragon, she did not give him time to react. Instead, she pursed her lips, leaned close, and pressed her forehead against his.

Mu Feng did not waste words. He simply stepped forward, rose into the air, and arrived above Lang Gui in an instant.

The sky was as dark as ink, and a full moon hung high above, illuminating a city on the earth. An icy, ominous aura filled the city, and one could even hear its inhabitants wailing. Above the city gate hung the city’s name: Ghost City.

Jiang Ning knew very well that Ah Li had probably wanted to find some other excuse, but in the end, clearly feeling that there was little hope, she had left in a fit of jealousy and pique.

But none of that mattered. What troubled Qi Feiyun was that she could not simply stand by and ignore Jun Xiaoxiao and Shen Yunchu.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning suddenly felt warm inside. Almost unconsciously, he tightened his grip on Ah Li’s right hand, as though afraid she might run away.

Meng Fan glanced at the bracelet. There was indeed a faint trace of crimson, as though blood had seeped into the dzi bead. He had never expected the bead’s origins to be so extraordinary. It could not compare with the bracelet of twenty-four relic beads, but it likewise carried the Buddhist nature of a revered monk—and the blood had come from the tip of his tongue.

When Li Tianqi heard those words, a chill suddenly rose along his spine, and he could not help retreating several steps.

However, because the two Holy Venerables had not yet completed their arcane technique, the process was delayed by three days. One had to understand that ever since Fuxi and the others had been conferred the titles of Heavenly Gods and Celestial Stars, Youyun Cave had become a sacred domain of the immortals.

Tong Shuang, Frost Maiden... Liezhu thought to herself as she watched Tong Shuang’s back. She was truly terrifying.

Hua Yi immediately put down what she was holding and went over to sit. Wu’er hurriedly rearranged everything again and again, and only after finally making it impossible to detect any trace did Ye Rong enter.

“Girl, did you use the Exquisite Furnace the very first time you refined pills?” Viper asked curiously once more.

Lin Yumen and Vermilion Bird, meanwhile, had signed a life-and-death contract. They were battle companions who would live and die together, and their powers complemented each other. When Lin Yumen’s strength was greater, she could drive Vermilion Bird’s power to rise rapidly. Conversely, when Vermilion Bird’s strength surpassed Lin Yumen’s by too much, it could likewise bring about a rapid increase in Lin Yumen’s strength.

“Forget it! Even if he comes to me again next time, I won’t be able to help him. I only did this in the hope that they would treat my mother a little better!” Liu Qing sighed softly.

“What?” Li Tianqi was utterly astonished. After pursuing them for so long, he had never imagined that those several wooden crates had been on the ship all along and had never been carried off the larger vessel by Chief Escort Zheng.

“I’ll see about it later. I’m not in the mood right now. Air China is such a huge company—how can the airplane food be this awful? It’s practically as if they hired idiots to cook it.” Zhang Donghai tossed the meal aside.

Lu Qian’s car drove away from the theater. It disappeared from Chu Wei’s field of vision, yet he remained dazed and failed to come back to himself.

When she suddenly saw Yi Ziqing again, Xiang Nuan’s heart gave a jolt. She instinctively grabbed Duan Yichen, then turned her head and stared at him in astonishment, blocking his line of sight completely.
