Volume One, Chapter 92: Only You Can Resolve This

The next day.

Yan Qiuning woke rather early. Perhaps she had been sleeping too much lately; now she was waking earlier as well.

The man beside her was just about to get up too. The moment he opened his eyes was remarkably consistent.

His body clock was steady, because whatever he did, he did in an orderly, methodical way.

Damn it, Shen Yu, Shen Yu—Shen Yu all day long. In the end, who matters more, Shen Yu or me?

Chi Qing was even more astonished, but said nothing further. This matter had to be reported to the prince at once, and that genuine ledger had to be found as soon as possible.

“Big Silly Ox, remember this: you must wait for me to come back. At the place we agreed on, you must wait for me to come back!” As Shui Yiren’s final words fell, they were answered by Yun Haotian’s heart-rending howl.

And this man, the moment he appeared, noticed at once that something was unusual about him, and even knew that he was the young master of the Fu family.

With a sweep of his hand, in that instant, the pure power contained within the radiance seemed to sense something, and streamed ceaselessly toward Xiao Lingming.

Lou Ruojin looked at Su Qian’s appearance and grew so angry that his heart, liver, and lungs all seemed to ache. How long had it been since he last took his eyes off her? How had she managed to get herself “entangled” with someone else again?

Qianye cursed inwardly, but then suddenly remembered that at present she herself seemed to count as part of their whole family too, and she pressed her lips together in faint frustration.

This time even the carriage compartment was gone, leaving only a bare floorboard. Fortunately, Zhong Xingyue no longer had to pretend to be unconscious and could change into a more comfortable position.

“Slash!” Yuan Futong, having gathered all his strength, did not hesitate in the slightest. The golden blade, driven to its fullest power, turned into a streak of gold light and cleaved toward the bedraggled Jin Yunzheng.

“Bullshit! How can my Fire Crow be compared to an ordinary crow? Compared to it, your Black Tortoise blade art is the one that truly deserves to be called a turtle’s trick, you old bastard!” the Fire Crow Daoist snapped.

“Master Tie, for the sake of all we have done for the Tie family, could you help us just this once? We will never forget such great kindness.” No longer hesitating, Huang Hai dropped to his knees directly before the young man.

Zhang Chu narrowed his eyes and smiled at her, then lifted his gaze to me and smiled at me as well. I smiled back at him almost instinctively, and then he turned and walked toward the school bus.

“This junior, Tao Rui of the Night Demon Sect, pays his respects to the Ancestor.” Only after Yuan Futong and the Blood Firmament Ancestor had finished speaking did Tao Rui finally recover from his shock. He bowed deeply and spoke with the utmost respect. Yuan Futong might preserve his dignity, but Tao Rui could not afford discourtesy, so he paid homage with full formalities.

By heaven and earth as witness, aside from Shen Liqiu, she had always treated the other two concubines with courtesy and respect.

“What Fourteenth Younger Brother’s wife says is true. Then let us go in together. I happen to be heading inside as well.” Jinxi said with a smile, not taking the Fourteenth Princess Consort’s provocative words to heart in the least.

Ruan Dacheng went into the room to change into a new set of clothes, put on a bamboo hat, and, fanning himself, stepped out.

“I don’t know either, Xiner. Call someone and have him taken to the hospital,” Zheng Haisheng said, frowning as he looked at Ye Tian.

While the young women and Angel laughed and joked over here, Qin Yi and the other two had just seen off Xuerou of Swan Real Estate. After chatting for a while, there had really been nothing substantial in the exchange—mostly courtesies and flattery.

“Damn! Are you blind? There are plenty of people awakening powers now—was it really worth following this kind of trash out here?” someone said indignantly.

Lu Yuhan was somewhat at a loss, but when she thought that refusing again would only make things more awkward, she simply gave in and sat down directly.

Watching the Evil God burn to ashes, Li Weidong remained silent for a long while. Though it had only been a strand of the Evil God’s primordial spirit, Li Weidong still felt a surge of grim satisfaction. For his master’s vengeance, the first step had already been taken.

“What did you say?” Lu Yuhan suddenly froze, her eyes widening as she stared at him in disbelief.
