Volume One, Chapter 56: Unveiling the "Truth"

Sun Yaqin did not blame Factory Director Lin for reporting her. After all, to outsiders, she was still young, and it was inevitable that she might overlook certain things.

"Big Brother, don't worry, I haven't taken it to heart."

These fragments rose into the air, only to be instantly shattered by a descending pressure, turning into dust and dissipating. The spiritual energy in the air was sucked dry in an instant. Consequently, spiritual energy from afar rushed in like a violent gale, while that sphere of light acted like a bottomless pit, swallowing every last shred of spiritual energy that came its way.

"What on earth is going on here?" Song Ruyu stripped him down until only his undergarments remained. Personally wetting a warm towel, she wiped his hands, face, and body, and deliberately slid the warm towel inside his trousers, mischievously giving him a rough and random wipe.

"There's a good chance he'll be directly granted official titles and nobility. The old Song family can be considered glorious once again." This came from someone simple-minded and full of envy.

A dozen or so sound-curse ghosts were seen crawling out from the darkness, acting like guards to protect this special fierce ghost.

Murong Qingwan, what is the meaning of this? Are you arranging your final affairs? If you are no longer here, what will His Highness the Prince Regent do? What will Brother Que do? How can you be so selfish? You can just let go and leave because you are tired, but what about His Highness? Has he spent all these years searching tirelessly for Su Manrou just to bury her first and then send you off as well?

Furthermore, he still did not know whether Zuo An had seen through his identity after being rescued by Bi Qianmo that day. He had originally planned to wait until things stabilized a bit on Dihua's side before finding the time to test the waters, never expecting to encounter him prematurely under such circumstances.

"Madam Su, rest assured, I will definitely find a way to get you out of here, but you'll have to endure a little grievance for now," Sun said with a very serious tone.

Suddenly, Moke's sea of qi vibrated, as if something had shattered. The bottleneck of the second-tier Foundation Establishment stage was subsequently broken, and he officially stepped into the realm of the second-tier Foundation Establishment.

"The Young Master lived in the ancestral residence for two years without taking us along. Have you never wondered why?" Suyan continued to pester him, refusing to give up.

At this thought, memories of the previous night suddenly surfaced in her mind. She had been dozing off in his arms, and amid her hazy consciousness, she only remembered his broad, warm palm gently wrapping around her delicate neck. She had not realized, however, that this warming fragrant bead had somehow appeared around her throat.

The sound of a strong wind rustling the leaves echoed in her ears. After raining for most of the day, a full moon was now hanging high in the night sky. Under the moonlight, Situ Youning's complexion appeared even paler.

Her breath was warm and fragrant, causing Yin Sijue's lower abdomen to tighten instantly. He hurriedly released Qingning and kept his distance from her.

Where was Su Nuan? She was still within the Divine Que Palace, having activated the ancient concealment array on the Cloud-Gazing Phoenix-Guiding scroll and shrouding herself in divine power. She lay quietly upon the crossbeams of the Divine Que Palace, her cyan divine power pulsating at a most wondrous and subtle frequency, perfectly evading every single one of the Snow Goddess's searches.

Unaccountably, her heart felt like a lemon that had been squeezed a few times, letting sour juices flow out.

"Madam Xu, this official will take his leave." Supporting Gu Yu'er, Li Ming杰 bowed to Madam Xu and walked toward the door.

This was also the first time Xu Yisheng was celebrating Lai Yishi's birthday on the actual day. Usually, the days they celebrated were not Lai Yishi's real birthday, so this day was of great importance to him as well.

The last beast was a giant clam. Opening and closing its fan-shaped shell, it spat water and arrived beside Su Nuan. Su Nuan watched it warily as it circled her a few times before finally spreading wide its two shell halves right in front of her and remaining motionless.

"Youning? Why are you suddenly making such a bitter face?" Xiao Yuqing, withdrawing her gaze from Situ Zifan, frowned as she saw Situ Youning looking like that.
