Volume 1, Chapter 38: Justice? The Rule of Law?

Before Meng Yuhong could process the situation, a busybody in the crowd shouted loudly:

“Oh, Eldest Miss Meng, we’ve all understood the situation. Since the Second Miss has committed murder, she ought to be turned over to the authorities. I think the young master is speaking sense! Why must you persist in obstructing this?”

“That’s right. The Eldest Miss has a kind heart and cannot bear to see her own sister suffer such humiliation. But if you ask me, isn’t this humiliation a result of the Second Miss’s own wrongdoings? If there wasn’t solid evidence, the Meng estate wouldn’t have sent her to the authorities so rashly, would they?”

“Poor Eldest Miss Meng, wanting to save her sister, only for the sister to be foolish and unappreciative. Miss Meng, you really shouldn’t...”

Wang Xiurong remained expressionless. Tilting her body slightly, she planted the tip of her spear into the ground. Holding the spear with one hand at an angle, she used the leverage of the earth to deflect Liu Yu’s blade and spear. Before he could react, she executed a sweeping strike with the butt of her spear toward his backside.

“The Master has always shouldered my burdens and helped me resolve these matters. Now, I find myself worried about how I might ever reward him properly...” Changsun Xian’s smile carried a touch of helplessness.

This year was a bountiful harvest. Luo the Second’s granary was filled to the brim, and the smile on Mother Li’s face grew broader with each passing day.

Among Buddhist cultivation techniques, there is one that cultivates the “Golden Light of Merit.” By practicing virtuous deeds throughout one’s life, once three feet of golden light is formed, the body undergoes a transformation—flesh and blood are purified into a “Golden Body of Merit,” immune to all evil, allowing for direct ascension to the Immortal Realm.

This is why Royal Media, after shelving Yan Jin, poured an insane amount of resources into Yan Zhifeng.

Haruki stared unblinkingly at Tsunade, his hands glowing with faint chakra, ready to intervene and rescue her at any moment.

“Without the benefactor’s guidance, how could I have achieved what I have today?” Crippled Liu insisted stubbornly, bowing his head to the ground with several loud thuds.

Qin Hanxiang watched Zheng Ye’s pained expression and finally seized the opportunity for sarcasm, smugly disparaging Zheng Ye in front of Jin Shiguang.

Zhuge Liang had commanded Northern Expeditions and participated in many wars; he understood deeply the logistical pressure required for hundreds of thousands of troops on a long-distance campaign.

Feiyan and Chiyu looked at each other in bewilderment. Although the Princess had been removed from the Yan family genealogy, it was an indisputable fact that, at her core, she was still a Yan.

It lasted for a full five minutes. In that moment, the earth shook and the mountains swayed; flames shot into the sky, and thick, black smoke billowed upward endlessly.

Xie Qinghui said: You can control someone for a time, but not for a lifetime. If you control them until they can’t bear it, they will run away.

“Danxin said she is too familiar with you to see you as a doctor.” Chuxiu relayed the original words, and recalling how Danxin had been thumping her bed in frustration earlier, she couldn't help but smile, biting her lip.

Zhang Senlin said: “Lin’er, even if you aren’t going out to earn money, you should at least do what you can at home—help your sister-in-law with chores and look after the children. The more you need extra care from your family, the more you should strive to maintain good relationships at home.”

“You will never guess who we ran into at the convenience store!” Chanyeol said excitedly.

Before the enemy could react, the special operations team of the third squad opened fire. How could the massive city gate withstand the bombardment of rockets? A giant hole was blasted through it immediately.

“Distillation techniques for shochu?” Huo Qingqing knew about shochu, and she knew how expensive it was in the capital. But how could shochu be related to Lü Xiang’er? Huo Qingqing was puzzled. To be honest, there were too many things today that left her feeling lost.

What was more urgent now was to deal with these black tigers! She had to act while the light sword was still in her hand; otherwise, she didn’t know when it might vanish!

Yuan Qiuhua sighed, the smile on her face fading as she asked: “In a society ruled by law, does fighting to the death solve anything for you?”

Although the Riversoos Academy had never been particularly submissive to the Tower of the Great Sage Michelle—constantly acting in opposition—they had never confronted the tower with such an attitude as they did now.

Fang Yang’s entire body shuddered, and ten spheres of scorching golden light flew out from him. These ten spheres were the very supernatural power just unleashed by the Supreme Martial Celestial.

Tang Yin’s expression was sincere, not like he was putting on an act. Initially, he had indeed been stalling for time, but what he hadn’t expected was that after some internal struggle, Long Qingtong would actually nod in agreement.

“So many people!” The center, Sun Chao, stripped off the school uniform he wore over his jersey and plopped down onto the ground, chuckling.

Tang Yin spoke tough, but his body was far from comfortable, and he didn’t know how long he could maintain this combat state.

“Just got home. The weather is bad tonight; the forecast says there’s a storm surge. Is the weather in Yunzhou okay? Did you get home? It’s so noisy there—are you outside?” Gao Haotian’s questions were even more numerous than hers.

From primary academies to advanced colleges, in the East District, South District, and even the West District, one could see the expansion and achievements of “Freedom to Do Anything.”

On the surface, Gonggong was asking a question, but in reality, he was sowing discord.

With a flash of light, the half-orc vanished from where he stood. At the same moment, a loud boom echoed from the portal opposite.

Jin Jing, who was eavesdropping from afar, rolled her eyes and selected [Complete World Fragment] on the “Shazam Interface” that only she could see.

It was indeed his attitude, his words, and everything about him that had fiercely stung her, wanting to push her to fight with her life, to exert a hundred or a thousand times the effort to change her current situation. She only wanted to say that although she was humble now and he looked down on her, what if one day she succeeded?

“What is the solution?” Sang Jinmu was also curious. Seeing that Ji Yuhan had actually come up with a plan, she felt a genuine sense of doubt.

As night fell, many people continued their search. The Prime Minister’s residence, in particular, had been dug three feet deep, yet not a single trace was found.

Su Qing had fainted that day because she had suffered a tremendous shock—a shock she herself could not bear—which was why she had suddenly collapsed on the bed.

Setting aside the affairs of Consort Wei, when Concubine Yang of the Lanxi Palace received the imperial decree, she was also stunned for a moment. She had been named a “Shu Fei” (Virtuous Consort), so who held the position of “Gui Fei” (Noble Consort)? Or had the Emperor not appointed a Noble Consort at all?

The silver and red harmonica shimmered with a cold, silvery radiance under the moonlight; it was absolutely beautiful.

“Yue’er has been stifled for too long lately. These three days, just relax and take it easy,” Ji Yuhan said to her with a smile.

Standing there was a large, grey wooden door that looked completely out of place in the high-tech conference room. On the Nine Realms ring map above it, the icons representing “Hive Planet” and “Aether Dragon” were flashing, while “Plane Demon” remained in a gray, unavailable state.

“You brat, you’re about to get married and yet your tongue is still so sharp. Do you really think your second brother is such a coward? We were just sparring in the training grounds, and Master Luo was quite distracted, so I brought him over.” Sang Jinyang explained the situation in a few short sentences.
