As soon as they returned to the small courtyard, Qian Shaoqing sent someone to report that the Xuantong Celestial Master’s men had entered the Dali Temple prison.
Bai Huan was just preparing to change clothes when she heard the news and hurried out. “Is Zhen Xi all right?”
“She’s fine. We’ve been watching her in secret all along. The moment Xuantong Celestial Master left, we gave her the antidote.”
Bai Huan immediately headed outside.
She had long since guessed that Xuantong Celestial Master would either use Zhen Xi to threaten her or kill her.
However, Xuantong Celestial Master had not entered the prison personally.
Moreover, their fields had gone unattended for more than half a year. They were already overgrown with weeds, and even the wheat was badly malnourished.
Li Chengqian countered, though he was no longer so aggressive. The two of them were merely discussing the matter now; there was no need to lose their tempers.
The convenience store door swung open, and Yu Yi strode inside. His hair was slicked back, and he wore a fitted black suit from head to toe.
Bandit King Dongge clearly had no love of study, so there was only a single diary on the shelf.
Three stars for offensive ability, one star for defense, two stars for survivability, and three stars for support. Overall, the profession’s strength was also rated at three stars.

“Get your precious little heart in order and tidy yourself up! Remember this: our Situ family has lived in Great Zhou for generations. Your father is not only the Grand Chancellor of the current court, but also a native son of Zhou.”
Shen Youyue could not understand what her master meant when he said that, in every world, her fate always ended in a miserable death.
Yang Shu still had no idea what had happened when his vision suddenly went black again, and he was forced out of the arena.
Thinking back to what she had seen with her clairvoyant eyes, Li Jiaojiao recalled that there had indeed been many things in that room. The examination questions had been locked inside a cabinet. Could it have been a different cabinet?
Madam Du, Madam Wei, Jinhua, Yinhua, and Old Madam Ye had also heard the rumors. Their faces alight with gossip, they hurried to the Hu family’s home to watch the spectacle.
When she came to herself, her forehead was pressed against a firm yet warm chest, while an elegant woody fragrance lingered beneath her nose.
The “Seventy-Two Earthly Transformations” was infinitely profound, and he was not worried that Princess Longji would detect any flaw. He simply intended to use this opportunity to get farther away.
Yet she would rather put on a heavy costume and jump into a water tank again and again in the dead of winter than lie on a sofa in her underwear, striking coquettish poses.
The Lin family, however, was not so extravagant or wasteful. They merely used Fireflame Stones and Bastion Stones, then arranged a formation capable of raising the temperature of the flames, thereby keeping the heat stable.
Including Bai Yunxin, the group hurried excitedly toward the city gates. After all, they had been away from home for so long. Now that they could finally return safely, they were naturally desperate to get home.
The middle-aged man carrying the sack had not yet realized what was happening when one of the two thugs behind him grabbed him, while the other snatched away the sack in his hands. He had not even recovered from the shame of having sold his child before the food he was carrying was stolen as well.

After all, no one would dare compete once he spoke. But if he remained silent and the price rose too high, he would suffer just as much. He therefore decided to purchase it directly from Lin Luo.
Because the gentleman’s eyes had not yet fully healed, he had no idea that all the students he taught were terrifying great demons.
Quite a few cultivators in the hall drew sharp breaths. Even for True Spirit scales, this price was far too outrageous. The spiritual treasures at the very bottom of the Chaos Myriad Spirits Ranking probably cost no more than this.
Taibo instead helped Qiao Kun to his feet and looked him over repeatedly, nodding without pause as though highly satisfied. He then invited Qiao Kun into the ancestral temple, while Tairen remained outside.
The doorknob was slowly twisted all the way down. Then, little by little, a crack appeared before everyone’s eyes.
“Er, Ye Jun, I’m afraid things aren’t as simple as you think. Cheng Gaofei is now the deputy commander of the Sea-Calming Guard, with nearly a thousand men under his command. He’s not someone we can afford to provoke,” Cheng Lixue said.
After Ye Ji returned to the room, he naturally sat down on the bed. There was nothing he could do—the bed was the only place in the room where one could rest comfortably...
