He was unwilling to suffer humiliation either. Yang Huaiman had instructed him to treat Young Master Lin well.
So he turned and left.
“Keep an eye on him,” Shi Youli ordered.
Then he accompanied Deng Qiuhe away.
“Lord Shi, don’t go! I still have a few more things to curse you for!” Lin Che shouted.
…
At Xuan Shi Palace, Lin Yu and the others were still pacing back and forth.
“Yang Huaiman ordered them to take special care of Young Master Lin? Why?” Lin Yu could not understand it.
Cao Shiqi could not understand it either.
“Still, this is a good thing. At least Young Master Lin is safe for the time being.”
“But how are we supposed to pardon his crimes now?” Lin Yu had been pondering that question the entire time.
“Your Majesty, someone outside is requesting an audience!”
…
One moment, everyone had still been living their ordinary lives. The next, the entire city had become utterly deserted.
When Su Qingxu heard the sound from outside, his face went pale, and he nearly rushed in. In the end, he forcibly held himself back. The delivery room was unclean, and men absolutely could not enter. If he went in, it would likely damage Song Huiya’s reputation in the future.
Imu felt not the slightest fear of Vivi and easily brushed the attack aside. Tilting her head, she seemed somewhat unable to understand the purpose of the move.
Seeing Sun Wukong still fighting Super One-Star Dragon in his Super Saiyan Blue form, Lei Chen finally could not resist taking action.
Although the fourth dimension had only one more dimension than the third, the richness of its information far exceeded that of the third. After all, the entire three-dimensional universe, taken together, amounted to no more than the three-dimensional projection of a single four-dimensional proton.

This was the second time she had been frightened by someone else’s acting. As a professional, however, she could only say that Fang Tian’s terror was different from Hao Xue’s.
What she feared most was that her grandfather would foolishly fight the demonic beasts to the death, only to sacrifice himself for nothing.
Lin Hao let out a low growl, then strode forward, sweeping toward the opposite side like a black gale.
The next moment, a gigantic explosion erupted in the air! Blinding light enveloped the entire arena, forcing all the spectators to shield their eyes.
The swarthy, burly man who had shaken Zhou Fan’s hand onstage earlier was now surrounded by four team members.
Of course, after meeting You Mengxiang, this was the only opportunity in her entire life that Cu Tan would ever have to act so directly and decisively.
With my hand clamped around her throat, Ji Manrou could not move. Her labored breathing gradually turned her face bright red. In extreme distress, she tried desperately to pry my hand away, occasionally raking me with her fingernails. Her dark, gleaming eyes glared at me as though she wanted to spew venom and devour me.
Some people were simply lucky. They encountered benefactors, possessed quick enough minds to seize their opportunities, and gradually became major businessmen in their own right. In the eyes of others, they could be considered successful.
To come up with such a scheme for subduing Wang Nuo, Tao Xiu had indeed gone to great lengths. Yet from another perspective, if she did not like Wang Nuo, she would have redirected her scheming long ago.
As expected, none of the fifth-level magical beasts were stupid animals. All of them possessed rich combat experience. Without such experience, they would have ended up in the belly of some beast long ago. To evolve to this level, they had all survived countless battles, emerging through natural selection. By comparison, the black stallion’s combat experience was clearly inferior to that of this wild boar.
No one looked down on her for not being the principal consort. They treated her with respect and had never shown the slightest disdain. During the period when she had withdrawn into herself, they had not only refused to abandon the Crown Prince’s residence but had continued helping to maintain it. All of this could be attributed to Ye Hua’s blessing.
The largest number of people followed Chu Chen. His group was tasked with directly attacking the military camp, so it naturally had the most members.
Time flew by. The sun hid behind the evening clouds and slowly moved toward the mountaintop, where it was about to set.
In the days that followed, Chu Chen spent his days accompanying his family or handling various matters, while he cultivated at night. Medicinal herbs were purchased by the cartload. After a month of this, his cultivation finally broke through the sixth level of Qi Condensation, reaching an entirely new height.
Tanxi would occasionally come back to herself and glance at Cheng Gui beside her, only to find that he was genuinely absorbed in watching the performance.
At this moment, Pure Consort Chun was truly pitiful. She was no longer the favored consort who, relying on her two princes, had once dared to say anything at all.
The moment Zhilang left, Lin Mùbai directed everyone to move Guanyun and Sheng Xuanyuan, bed and all, to Pear Garden.

Jian Qianqian, I must have performed good deeds for three lifetimes to have met you, the woman I love so deeply.
Xiao Han’s attitude toward Chen Nahong had changed as well. Although he had been merely courteous when he came yesterday, today he treated her with considerably more respect. He personally opened the car door for her and even ran over to do so—the manner was almost identical to the way he behaved before his own employer, Lord Zhao Chengui.
As Han Bing recounted the story, he sighed repeatedly. His eyes kept drifting toward the lord, Pei Qing, who was reading a contract in the living room, and his expression was filled with admiration.
In the kitchen, Jian Qianqian was cutting fruit. She was also extremely curious about how Qiao Qi had managed to make all those media outlets change their tune, but she felt awkward calling him so openly, fearing that she might disturb his work.
Yan Le then described the black man’s characteristics to Luo Zhibin, telling him to focus his attacks on the opponent’s right chest, lower abdomen, and both sides of his head. He also warned him to guard against headbutts. Since he had already entered the ring, Yan Le said, he should use the opportunity to train properly instead of rushing to defeat his opponent. Ideally, he should employ everything he had practiced, treating it as a sparring session.
“Thirty seconds. Beautiful.”
Xu Huinan walked over to Aoxue with his suit jacket in hand, then draped it directly over her shoulders, covering them and the other exposed areas. Aoxue was wearing a strapless evening gown, leaving her shoulders and neck bare.
“And what about you?” Gu Ming gave Aoxue a resentful sidelong glance, as though saying, “Don’t make it sound as if you’re the only one looking good.”
No one knew how it had gotten inside. In any case, nobody had noticed it. Once the rain came down, its sense of smell failed as well, leaving it with no choice but to search the examination rooms one by one.
Unfortunately, he was only saying it. In the face of Ksitigarbha’s power, even if the situation was unfair, all he could do was endure it—or perhaps complain a few times. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva would not stop him from complaining.
Shi Qi and the others did not suspect anything. After directly carrying out Blazing Flame’s order, the five of them quickly moved closer to Blazing Flame.
His retreat carried him more than a hundred meters away. Amid the oncoming waves of force, his figure moved rapidly with sliding steps, swaying back and forth and leaving behind a series of blurred afterimages at varying heights.
“What a formidable treasure!”
Ye Tian’s heart sank. With a wave of his hand, he put away the scroll painting. Another golden light flew out of his storage pouch, transforming into the Sun-Damaging True Gold Bow as it landed in Ye Tian’s hand.
Most of the commanders, however, wore expressions that seemed to say, “Who do you think you’re fooling?” Taking into account what Sophia had said earlier, as well as Lin Ai’s account, was this not clearly an attempt to seize control of the mechanical life-form network, eliminate the humans on Earth, and carry out an occupation?
