Chapter 122: Do You Think You Are Mysterious?

“Since you knew my father, I suppose you must also know what happened back then,” Lin Yu said.

The man in white suddenly burst into laughter. “I know you want to learn what happened to the Lin family more than twenty years ago. But have you ever wondered why, if the matter was sealed away for over two decades, it has never been resolved?”

...

As they spoke, the dishes arrived, and Zhou Feng began wolfing them down as though he had not eaten in a very long time.

Once her senses returned, Yun Jinyao felt only somewhat exhausted. At least she had not lost an arm or a leg.

Kangxi had witnessed the situation at the time and deliberately questioned Yinzhen. Only then did he understand what scheme the Grand Empress Dowager had been pursuing, which led to Kangxi explaining how to identify Dark One.

“It is finally finished...” Li Ling wiped the cold sweat from her brow, let out a long breath, and allowed a faint smile to touch her lips.

Yue Xia found that what he said made some sense. He glanced questioningly at Siju, and when Siju nodded silently, he stopped insisting.

So the only thing they needed to guard against was his possibly turning against them after crossing the river. Although, after their exchanges, his intuition told him that the likelihood was small, he still believed one could never be too wary of others. Thus, he decided to ask Shangguan Yunling for help and had the prepared contract copied more than a hundred times.

Yet the person she hated had been admitted, and had even been accepted with the highest scholarship. The thought left her deeply uncomfortable. Seeing Lan Fei’s utterly unruffled expression only made her hate him all the more.

The moment she left the palace gates and climbed into the four-wheeled carriage, Bai Fengjiao began taking deep, involuntary breaths. Lu Xiong, who had followed beside the sedan chair the entire time and possessed exceptionally keen hearing, was utterly baffled. Was that really necessary? She had only spent a day in the palace!

According to the information he already possessed, although the Soulfolk existed in a light, drifting spiritual state, they were capable of transforming themselves into physical bodies. They had no need to possess someone else in order to have a body of their own.

“The current ruler of Langxing is on fairly friendly terms with the Tianzhou Dynasty,” Bai Fengjiao recalled. In the past, Tianzhou had fought a war against Langxing. Shangguan Yunling had not only distinguished himself in that battle but had also helped the current ruler ascend the throne.

Yan Hao had long anticipated that Gu Yiyang might seek out Yun Keke, which was why he had secretly arranged everything in advance. Whether it was the move itself or the place they moved to, everything belonged to him, and he had already made certain it was under his control.

Director Jiang could tell that, to Meimei, this old classmate was no ordinary one.

As for Cheman, whom Ai Lusha had mentioned, she had reported yesterday that Cheman, reputed to be the strongest person in the eastern part of the Southern Continent, had already approached its central region. He seemed to be planning to aid Fochester City and had reached the eastern city-state nearest to it.

After Zhang Ying made up her mind, she continued working just as diligently as ever. Working late and putting in extra hours became the norm.

“Aunt Zhang, how much did she give you to make you betray us, you ungrateful wretch?” Old Master Gu’s breathing suddenly grew labored, his shoulders rising and falling noticeably.

Apart from mistakenly believing that the man was merely an ordinary adventurer, Talia’s other error had been failing to completely restore her own injuries before healing him. As a result, when the explosion occurred, a large amount of dark energy entered her body through her wounds, corroding everything in its path.

When they arrived at the Chen family villa and Li Tian got out of the car, he looked over the estate. It was indeed worthy of being Chen Anbei’s residence: magnificent, imposing, and rising grandly from the ground. Every corner of the interior had been carefully designed.

Wang Ruolei drank a little red wine with her younger sister. She knew Wang Ruoxin must have been sleeping poorly lately, and red wine would help her sleep.

“This place looks like it has quite a few customers,” Qin Jiayan observed for a long while before speaking to Qin Xinglie.
