Chapter 43: Playing Along with the Scheme

Qian Ningdie has vanished!

Everyone was shocked.

Having retired from court for many years, the old Grand Tutor entered the palace for the very first time, kneeling before Dugu Jin, tears streaming down his aged face.

"I beg Your Majesty to save my granddaughter. She is the only descendant left in our family. If anything happens to Die'er, I will not wish to live either."

No one knew that Dugu Jin had secretly been mentored by the old Grand Tutor for many years.

He walked over and raised the old Grand Tutor to his feet.

"Teacher, Miss Qian is quite well."

They widened their eyes one by one, unable to snap out of it for a long time, finding it hard to believe that all of this was real.

Under the gaze of such a tier-three ferocious beast, if not for the pride of an aristocratic scion, he would have nearly wet himself.

"Listen to me. Answer a few of my questions, and I can spare your life." Shi Zhengyang walked over, looking down at him from above.

"Sparing my life is fine, but this sovereign will give you one more chance. Honestly confess why you flooded this place, and who is the person standing behind you," the Earth Sovereign said.

This punch caused the old man's soul and spirit to tremble, his consciousness momentarily dazed. Seizing that very moment of trance, Xue Jian swiftly approached and lashed out with a soul-snatching grasp.

Wang Xin was in the middle of talking when he was startled by Shang Ziyu's sudden shout. He immediately ran over from the back and opened the door.

Seeing Zhou Yiming coming down, Liu Ming beckoned to him, signaling him to sit in the seat reserved for him.

"..." This man's mind was diseased. Chu Wanyue leaned against the carriage wall, closed her eyes in speechless speechlessness, and wanted nothing more to do with him.

Tong Jinzhen blinked, putting on a naive and innocent expression, his clear pupils faintly harboring a trace of a smile.

Yun Tian raised his hand to block in front, squinting as he looked through the gaps between his fingers. Faintly, he spotted hundreds of black figures appearing not far away. Standing motionless like stone tablets amidst the all-encompassing dust storms, they looked extremely eerie and mysterious.

The two justice-driven fellows naturally agreed to lend a hand. With the help of the two Giants of Light, Director Nagase believed that this incident could probably be resolved.

With that, he tidied his robes and walked off to the side along with the soldier.

The other eight Yuan Envoys slowly nodded together. This was considered fair; it preserved Ning Luo's face and served as a lesson for breaking the rules. One of the Yuan Envoys would surely use a divine ability to knock the overconfident Lian Haiping out of the arena, disqualifying him from the final match of this grand competition. It was truly the best of both worlds.

In this case, apart from himself, the remaining three Four Emperors would all have been defeated. All the conditions had matured, and the time had come.

Hearing this, everyone realized that he was using Su Shi's words to subtly explain to them that staying in the capital was not necessarily a good thing. If one's mind is open and broad, no time, no place, and no matter can affect your heart.

The third thing that sparked widespread attention and discussion was the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, soon to commence construction and lay its foundation along the bank of the Huangpu River in Shanghai.

Although Li Er was not a particularly suspicious emperor, that did not mean he lacked suspicion entirely.

Fu Hongxue's heart suffered another stabbing pain. He had already resolved not to look at her again, but in the end, he still couldn't help casting a glance. This single glance was more than enough.

Li Donghai not only held a deeply rooted influence at Beihai University, but also possessed sound connections throughout Beihai. Otherwise, he would never have managed to become the captain of the university town police relying on Li Donghai's connections.

The more Feng Yewu thought about it, the more alarmed she became, because regardless of which faction the Black Sect belonged to, it was undoubtedly terrifying.

Forget it. Since he was determined to leave, she could not stop him either. Given his personality, he would probably figure things out before long; she could deal with him then. For now, the Mirror Moon Cave was far more urgent.

"Master, Elder Lu has stayed in China for too long and no longer wishes to enter the Divine Land, which is why he is unwilling to let me restore his injuries," I said to Chen Yishou. There were words teetering on the edge of my lips, but ultimately I refrained from bringing up the other events that had transpired between Lu Dingsheng and Chen Yishou back then.
