Volume One Chapter 69: You Will Love Me Eventually

In Zhou Jingdu’s eyes, Shen Chaowu was far too weak. He could have broken free at any moment. He could easily ignore Shen Chaowu’s struggles. Yet, he released her hand.

His breathing had not yet calmed, and he was still panting slightly, a certain reaction below was rather conspicuous...

Shen Chaowu couldn’t help but glance downward, her face flushing hot and red. She bit her lip. “Zhou Jingdu, you truly are a scoundrel.”

A scoundrel?

He had avoided the police, hadn’t he? He wasn’t sitting in the third waiting room watching the show—did that mean he wasn’t the king of rumors either?

The grand finale was so important that the county magistrate had come as well. After all, he was the host and witness of this tournament for marriage.

The moment I heard that “but,” I knew he wouldn’t be so soft-hearted as to speak kindly for Ma Long. Of course, Ma Long was also stunned by the “but,” waiting foolishly for Old Tang to finish his sentence.

No, no, while most men in the palace were eunuchs, there was still the emperor. He had never shied away from entangling with her before—could the child be his?

I glanced around. The arrival of White Wuchang had indeed intimidated many spirits, but quite a few remained, probably several hundred.

Of course, that was only my guess; I didn’t voice it, lest Old Master Ling grow more anxious.

“Chairman Zhang—” Seeing the chairman emerge, Mayor Li and his entourage, who had not left, hurried forward, surprise in their eyes as they looked at him. He seemed different.

Mo Qianqian hid behind Han Jinfeng. She was not as frightened now, though when Han Jinfeng had entered just moments before, she had felt a vague sense of timidity.

Despite his reluctance, Ran Sinian knew he had to continue cooperating with Qu Zichong, for there were many things he could not know without the police’s resources.

No one expected things to turn out like this. Song Honghong and Li Min stared in shock, then rushed to support me. Seeing my face covered in blood, they realized it was only my nose that had been injured. Though I couldn’t catch my breath right away, I wasn’t in much pain.

Empathy was well demonstrated here; harboring constant suspicion in this era would accomplish nothing.

Upon hearing this, the surviving warriors of Kartes quickly pushed aside the encircling Vata fighters, found their own horses, and mounted silently. The Vata warriors stared at Bayan Batulu, but dared not move.

Soon, she drifted into unconsciousness. Since being poisoned, she had either lain in bed or sat groggily in the corridor, muddled and lost in these days.

Yuan Tan still had thirty thousand troops in Ji County. With Yuan Shao’s army, there were another hundred sixty thousand. Handling so many people could not be done in a day. The next day, Yuan Shao ordered Han Juzi into battle, prompting Guo Jia to laugh, “Yuan Shao’s army lacks great generals.” He then sent Dian Wei into the fray.

Second, third, and fourth children wiped away their tears, revealing warm smiles. The genuine laughter of the children made Wang Yan feel comforted.

“Mom, I want to marry Jin Xin.” Qin Muyang’s calm tone left no room for refusal. He glanced at Yang Jin Xin, his dark eyes full of tenderness and affection.

Combined with the three previous swords, the power surged exponentially! The six swords’ energies connected, as if one sword had six bodies. Each strike was measured and precise, wondrous and unmatched.

Guan Yu gazed at the Daoist before him for a moment, a smile appearing at the corner of his lips. “I’m sorry, Master, to have you cultivate in this prison. That red pill of yours—what treasures does it contain, to harm the emperor’s life? I fear you’ll face more hardship in days to come!”
