Chapter 35: What on Earth Is Going On
Chen Daochang was filled with an indescribable sense of grievance. He felt as though disaster had descended upon him while he was simply sitting in the safety of his own home. He acknowledged that he had recently had disputes with the Qin family over some shops in the inner district, but he was certainly not foolish enough to lay a hand on the Qin family’s next heir. When Qin Wenlong arrived at his doorstep, he was completely bewildered. Only after hearing what Qin Wenlong had to say did he hurriedly begin to offer his explanations.
Both men tacitly avoided discussing the matter of installment payments, as if the very concept of paying in stages did not exist in their vocabulary. Once in the car, Leonard took the wheel. Lin Tian, the Ninth Princess, and Hannah shared one vehicle, while several other bodyguards followed in two separate cars.
Sima Rong, however, instinctively took a step back the moment his eyes met Shen Ning'er’s. Although the two white-robed Taoists below possessed decent martial arts skills, they were still a cut below the three figures standing at the forefront. A few of the less comprehending disciples followed Zhuangzi, still hoping for him to finish his discourse. Furthermore, at the Jixia Academy, Zhuangzi had encountered Mencius, who was busy badmouthing Yang Zhu behind his back, calling him a "beast," which led to a heated argument between the two.
In the past, he felt he could still put up a fight against the black-clad guard. But now, he could clearly sense waves of invisible power radiating from the secret chamber where the guard was in seclusion. Lin Tian looked too young, appearing at most to be in his early twenties; such a person did not meet their requirements. Su Nan’s display just now had truly shocked them; such leaping ability was truly unprecedented. Hundreds of fragments of rock shot into the two colorful torrents, shattering them completely in the blink of an eye.
Although she had retired from the industry for two years, she still had many loyal fans, and the general public held a positive impression of her. "Understood." The doctor cast a kindly glance at Fang Yusheng; one could tell from the way he spoke to the other party that their relationship was far from ordinary. Though puzzled as to how he could secure an appointment at Andrew Hospital with a single phone call, it was certain that his status was not simple. He was seeing her for the first time today, and he had remembered it was her right arm—having verified it now, he knew he was correct.
The folded scallion pancake was stuffed so full of sauce, bacon, and vegetables that it wouldn't even close. Wu Jin hurriedly took the plastic bag, while the lettuce leaves on top tumbled down. This realization drained the last trace of color from Ji Shu’s face, as unpleasant memories abruptly flooded his mind. "I'm sorry, I can't continue the investigation. I’m being monitored, and my brother has been caught." With that, Fang Yiyi hung up the phone, cast a glance at a spot outside the car window, and immediately started the engine to drive away.
Yet, with so many experts at the Tribulation Transcendence stage from various shops, combined with the Void Spirit elders of Piaomiao Peak, this lineup of powerhouses could have leveled an entire sect before the spiritual energy resurgence. If such a riot had occurred in the past, even if the ferocious beast had been at the Void Spirit stage, it would have been jointly suppressed by the experts stationed in the city. Qin Jinyu’s mind was currently in chaos, her thoughts feeling like a sponge soaked in water—heavy and sluggish.
Watching Qiu Tianli’s confident demeanor, Ling Hao shook his head with a smile. His gaze sharpened, and the magic power within his body surged forth like a vast, terrifying ocean. Lin Di frowned deeply. There was actually an achievement for earning over ten thousand a day? After the first "downloader" achievement was completed last time, his reaction speed had increased by 10%. What would the reward be for completing this one?
"Yan, you are... very passionate tonight..." Yan Xing'er couldn't help but let her voice change, breathing slightly in rhythm. "They are asking for five yi of gold and two shops; isn't this just robbery in the middle of a crisis?" Mother Yu said indignantly. Zhang Jiao felt this was the perfect opportunity. As long as he surrounded the enemy and prevented them from breaking out, he was confident he could wipe them out, even if they were the Will Legion—especially now that he had the Yellow Turban Warriors at his disposal. Wang Laoqi saw my gesture and waved his hand weakly, saying, "Don't, don't be nervous. Rest assured, she no longer carries any baleful aura."
She seemed to have forgotten to prepare red envelopes for the children, and having no money on her at the moment, she suddenly felt quite embarrassed. Yet, there was no other path for her to take; even knowing that poisonous snakes and evil ghosts awaited her inside, she had to go. He, too, had once dreamed of catching a meteor—though that was a long time ago. Now, he had few fantasies left, and almost no desire to look back.
Tang Mo snapped his head up to see the black rabbit glaring at him viciously. Noticing Tang Mo looking at it, the black rabbit parted its lips, revealing a sinister smile. "That works." Having stayed in the hospital for half a month, Ji Ruchu was finally home and refused to suppress herself any longer; she would not let this opportunity pass. Therefore, Tang Mo suggested that if they ever encountered a situation where killing was necessary, Fu Wenduo should leave the head-taking to him.
Her voice was not loud, yet it struck like a bolt of lightning on a clear day, catching the guests off guard. The black and white ink made it very clear that their marriage was merely a written agreement, and she did not want to end up in a sorry state when it came time to divorce. Then, checking the caller ID, her premonition was perfectly verified—it was a call from Xiao Zhan. Especially in such an uninformed situation, it was clear that even the manager was completely unprepared. She wished she could make the Li family pay a painful price overnight, but this thought, for her current self, was far too fantastical.
