Chapter 40: Skilled at Fighting, Unyielding in a War of Words

"Ladies, please make way. You are blocking our path," An Tao said politely.

"You are the one who should move aside." The woman leading the group shoved An Tao aside, her demeanor aggressive.

With a critical gaze, she pointed at Wen Lin and asked, "Are you the girl dating Sister Gu's son?"

"Ma'am, in this day and age, you can eat whatever you want, but you shouldn't speak without thinking. Who on earth is Sister Gu's son?"

Wen Lin was so furious she could have jumped with rage; she wished she could...

Aristocratic social balls follow a set of unspoken etiquette and norms. Naturally, one cannot attend wearing just anything; at the very least, a decent formal gown is required.

Because of Xichen's bright and serene smile, which seemed to radiate a brilliant glow across the world, everyone couldn't help but feel moved, lifting their own smiles in response. Qiao Bin watched Xichen's performance with great pleasure; whether people knew Xichen or not, they would surely form a good impression of him. Xichen's future days would be much easier now.

However, since Sun Wufan had given the durian such a high rating, it was proof enough that the people of the Great Ming could accept its taste.

Furthermore, Yayoi Sakurai was quite beautiful. In an era where physical appearance is everything, she was certainly more likable than the elderly, politician-like Takashima Heijin from the Shingetsu group.

After searching for a long time, Li Rizhi found nothing suspicious. He focused his attention on the garden walls, hoping to see clues like footprints, which were generally quite useful. However, the walls were clean, with no traces of footsteps or other marks.

Atop the desolate mountain peak, Jiang Xiao held Daji partially in his arms, shaking his head and muttering as he watched the immortals of the Jie Sect being slaughtered. They say that even when killing, one should show some mercy; furthermore, the three sects of Taoism were originally one family. Yet, simply because of the struggle for orthodoxy and the fortunes of the mortal realm, the disciples of the Jie Sect had become meat on another's chopping block.

Amidst the sound of desolate and heroic bugles, the gates of the noble district, the inner city, the upper city, and the commoner district opened one after another. Countless knights in full regalia, arranged in precise formations and marching to the rhythm of steady drums, galloped out from the slowly opening gates.

However, so far, the highest probability remains that it was caused by extreme stimulation; this happens more often than not.

In the back room, the black blindfold was removed from Chu Wanglun's eyes, and the smelly sock stuffed in his mouth was pulled out.

Perhaps realizing how formidable he was, those low-level spirit masters of the cult did not confront him, immediately retreating behind their lines.

One could not speak loudly or walk about freely here. Many players had already grown impatient, but they had no choice but to keep waiting. Lu Chen stood at the very back, making no move to shift forward.

"He is my senior. We only went out for a meal during the day. As for this photograph, it was taken from a misleading angle." She was never one to be overly sentimental; if there was a misunderstanding, it should be explained. As long as it wasn't her fault, she would never take the blame.

Composing herself, she began to wash up. Her eyes felt dry and tired, but she could no longer sleep, so she decided to find something to do instead.

Jiang Xun gave her a sheepish smile in response to her question, his features softening in a way that left Lin Yiqiao momentarily dazed.

Early the next morning, the Lakers team boarded a plane and returned to Los Angeles to await the arrival of the Warriors.

Because even if she had regained her human functions and proper thought processes, she was undoubtedly still leaning toward being an "anomaly."

The classification of the Tribulation Transformation realm below the Immortal Human level was actually no different from the Origin Continent. It remained the same: below Tribulation Transformation was Mortal Shedding, followed by Heavenly Human, and so on.

It could be said that her mastery of arrays was taught entirely by Sima Nanshan. In the Immortal Realm, it would be no exaggeration to call Sima Nanshan the foremost expert in the art of arrays.

"..." Hu Qianshan and Wei Jun exchanged a look. It had barely begun, and he was already showing signs of being henpecked. Would he lose all authority as a husband in the future?
