Ninety-Four: Thoughts Fixed on the Court

Lin Chen gave Xing Conglian a helpless look. The more urgent matters became, the more at ease Xing Conglian seemed.

By the time Qin Yiheng had said this much, I had understood part of it as well. Suddenly, an idea sprang to mind. Back when I saw the fake Liu Cripple at Liu Cripple’s house, the Buddha statue there had also been facing inward. Could this damn thing have something to do with that impostor? Could he have been sent by this Yuan Zhen?

Everyone drew their weapons and cautiously searched the surroundings, ready to act at the first sign of danger.

So I slowly turned her over. Her enticing body appeared once more, only this time facedown. Just as I was about to reach out and help her turn, she suddenly flipped around, and from her mouth shot out a tongue over a meter long, wrapping around me. Before I could react, she hurled me violently away.

She was very willing to be her sister’s substitute. Su Peisheng gave Li Shi a signal to tell her that the master was in a bad mood today.

Lin Yue now understood as well: there were some things he did not need to do himself. What truly needed doing was overseeing the army of the Dawn Commonwealth assigned to the Spirit Wing Alliance.

Zhao Yuting held Zheng Feng’s hand and walked slowly along the beach, gently explaining why she had come back.

She had tried asking for directions, and had also thought of taking a taxi back to school. At the bus terminal by the school gate there was a bus that went directly to the boarding house.

As for drinking, Lady Cai was fairly capable, but she was still no match for Zheng Feng. After only three rounds, she was already seventy to eighty percent drunk; if she drank any more, she would surely collapse on the spot.

“Yes.” He stood and withdrew to the side. After giving Zhang Fangfang her instructions, Fourteen first carried me onto the carriage, and only then leaped in himself.

“It’s already dark. Where do you expect to find a place to stay?” Xi Yue asked coldly as she looked at He Zhengping.

Su Yiyan could no longer care about anything else. In his mind there was only the sorrow in Su Lanziu’s eyes after he had humiliated her in the past—eyes he had seen, yet never once been moved by.

Xu Yi quickly opened the luggage and found that one steamed bun was missing, and there was only half a bottle of water left.

The things his mother had gone through appeared before her eyes scene after scene, the images shifting one after another, until she saw her mother’s past, a past she had never known.

This time, the ghost’s protection should be given to Shu Qianlan. Besides, Shu Qianlan had been with Xi Yue all along, so she could also protect Xi Yue along the way.

Ye Ning lifted a brow and seized with his palm, and in an instant two shuriken appeared in his hand.

Ji Bu Sanhua did not let Takizawa Ichiro rise. Instead, she stepped on his back and slowly walked up onto the tatami.

When the ruler Zhao Ji stepped into that courtyard, Li Yan, who had only moments before been bellowing arrogantly there, hurriedly knelt and bowed.

Even if Xiao Bufan had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs run. He naturally knew what this Eight-Section Brocade regimen for nourishing the body was.

“So what if she is the princess of the divine land? As long as I do not wish to do something, even if the lord of the divine land himself came, he would not dare point fingers at me. And you—if you dare hop around in front of me again, I do not mind killing you.” Ye Ning narrowed his eyes, and a terrifying pressure swept toward Li Feng.

Su Zhen did not understand much of what Xie Mao was doing either. Whether the deity to be offered exists or vanishes should be left to nature; what sort of thing was forcibly keeping a deity around? Xie Mao shut down the spiritual workbench and opened the window, where sunlight poured in and green trees and birdsong filled the view outside.

A gentlemanly man always feels some tenderness toward a beauty, even if the woman before him is a thoroughly venomous beauty who has plotted against him again and again.

“Giant insect, listen well. Since I possess black demonic energy, I naturally also have the ability to use the Black Lotus to seal you again. Either let me leave here, or let me seal you away.” Su Jue’s voice rose from within the pagoda.

Taking advantage of the moment, Zheng Wushuang quietly opened the door and withdrew. She intended to find Yu Dayong and report the results of her firepower reconnaissance. After all, the “enemy situation” had eased; that was the foundation for the next step of work.

“All you have to do is cut off his head, and it will be broken! Just like killing a vampire!” The Mermaid Legend said with a laugh, though grief filled that laughter. Her own master had been decapitated by the former owner of the Mermaid Lakeside Estate.

It seemed the matter she had entrusted to Xiao He had been handled well. Xiao He was reliable and kept her mouth shut.

“I am precisely of this mind!” Xu Jiang hurriedly replied. “Lord Le and Minister Wang, as well as Lord Liang, have many differences of opinion. When we were destroying Western Xia in the northwest, he seized Xinqing Prefecture before Generalissimo Tong, and his poor relations with the Generalissimo are well known. Moreover, Lord Le has always opposed the campaign against Liao, so I fear he will not aid Your Highness.”

Not to mention that Xie Mao had given him advance notice before killing someone; even without warning, Xie Mao was his most trusted and cherished younger brother. What on earth was the Yang family trying to do? One heir had died—did they now want the imperial family to compensate them with a first-rank princely title?

“Why did the Snake Sword Saint leave without saying goodbye? The Illusion Sword Saint is already dead!” the Snowflight Girl said coldly.

After the Tu family was destroyed, Situ Shaoyi was placed under house arrest by his master in the Sacred Temple, awaiting Shen Chao’s judgment. Yet Shen Chao had been too busy with his wedding to deal with him.

Linda did not have such technique. She operated according to her own habits. Though she completed a beautiful drift, the skidding of the car delayed her next acceleration.

“It’s true, I’m not lying to you. This snow lotus is a bit strange. I only ate a tiny bit of the petals, and I immediately stopped feeling hungry. My whole body even turned warm all at once. You should try it too! Just a little is enough!” Fan Kexin said.
