Volume 1, Chapter 33: The Invitation to the Plum Blossom Banquet

Xie Qingge was bewildered, but fortunately, the three beggars were courteous to him. Seeing him approach, they immediately cleared a path. Xie Qingge, feeling no need for formalities, walked over, sat down, and began to take a pulse. However, the moment his hand touched the patient, the eyeballs beneath Su Qing’s eyelids began to roll rapidly.

Logically speaking, Uncle Xiao Zhan, having already reached the level of a Great Dou Shi, would not be so easily intoxicated; thus, he must surely be sober right now.

The anticipation that had everyone on edge suddenly vanished. It turned out the whole affair was merely a misunderstanding, and everyone returned to their morning studies.

"Why are the people from Yun Jian Mountain here for Hero He?" How had no one ever heard of such a connection between He Yu and Yun Jian Mountain?

After she finished speaking, she turned away, enthusiastically eating her ice cream, ignoring the pale-faced youth behind her.

"It is kind of you to still remember us, so we won't stand on ceremony." Murong Jinqian took the bottle, smiling broadly, his heart feeling warmed.

Before the forest, Wen Chuliu looked at the pitch-black night sky, then at the dense trees, and finally at the logging equipment provided by the director, letting out a long sigh.

Only by avoiding his eyes could she muster the courage to finish those words. Finally, unable to hold back, large tears began to fall.

Su Qianyi tried to pull her hand away but could not. Frustrated, she simply gave up and closed her eyes, choosing to ignore the person across from her.

Lou Ke was pressed against the skeleton, clutching the token tightly. She had been unable to shake off the man's hand earlier precisely because she was gripping it with all her strength, refusing to let go even at the cost of her life.

Nearby, Jun Lin had already tactfully dismissed Aunt Zhou and the others, leaving only trusted maids like Yuzan and Jinchai to attend to them.

Elder Madam Yang and Madam Yang could not refute these words. As the Second Madam Yang had said, they were mothers themselves, and a mother's strength lies in her children. If they were in her position today, they would likely be just as eager to propose a family division, if only to preserve the assets that rightfully belonged to their own branch of the family.

However, regret was regret; since the man had helped him immensely, he felt embarrassed to ask him for rent. Just as he was fretting, Ling Xuan handed him ten taels of silver, and all his worries vanished instantly. How could he not be happy?

Ling Xuan was slightly startled, vaguely connecting this to the Nangong family, the largest prominent clan in the Northwest.

"Does Your Majesty not trust me either?" Lingxi lifted her eyes toward the furious Emperor Yong'an, large tears sliding down her cheeks.

At the courtyard entrance, He Xuan and Liao Geng parted ways. He Xuan returned to her room and, without even undressing, dove into her bed. She wrapped the quilt tightly around herself, yet she could not stop shivering.

Chun'er wept with joy, clutching the cat hair. Now that she had evidence, even if Nanny Qin wanted to make things difficult for her, she would find no excuse. Once this crisis passed, she would send a bit of silver, and the matter would be settled.

In this magnificent, deep palace, there was never a shortage of bloodshed and death. As a royal princess, she had seen much since childhood and had long become numb to fear. At the very least, the scene before her did not make her feel afraid. She believed Princess Anmin should feel the same.

Hearing this, Ming Qi glared at Zhou Shanyian; because of that day's incident, she had been scolded more than enough by Mother Qiao and Madam Lan.

Wang Chao was exceptionally clever at such moments. The youth said nothing, grabbed Lu Xu, and headed out without looking back, remembering to pull the door shut behind them.

Xun Qinglong lit a cigar while speaking, sitting on the chair in front of his desk with a pensive look.

Everyone present could not help but look at Wang Chongyang, their gazes as if they truly regarded him as the murderer, fearing he was there to destroy evidence.

A state-acceleration map really was not much compared to high-difficulty "sudden death" maps, so the Time team certainly hadn't practiced it specifically. Since the Canglan team had spent a whole week practicing it, they naturally held an advantage in proficiency.

But Li Cangyu was not without ways to cope. Wind spirits also played an important role in sudden-death maps; while it was difficult to win against Fengse, it was not entirely impossible.

"Alright, stop watching for now. Once it's done, you'll have plenty to see! Follow me now!" said Liu Chuan.

Only when you truly enter it do you realize that life inside is not one's own to command! One can only blame oneself for failing the test back then; the royal family had bound Linghu Qing with a single marriage alliance.

The Demonic Cult had a heavy baleful aura, and since she had only just finished her month of confinement and her body had not fully recovered, it was very easy for her health to be severely damaged in such a place filled with yin energy.

Judging by the material costs in the cultivation general store, the materials for a single pill alone cost seventy thousand, not counting wastage.

Liu Ye watched the backs of Zhang Ren and Gao Shun as they departed, and only when they disappeared at the end of the woods did he and Dian Wei continue their journey toward Hedong.

Gu Nanzheng smiled. Looking at it this way, this guy was likely being harassed by phone calls and text messages all day long.

"It's true; our sect and the Chuling Sect are like fire and water!" Qing Huan then recounted the history of the struggle between the Lingxiu Sect and the Chuling Sect.

But on second thought, since the demonic beasts in the Great Dragon Secret Realm posed no threat as long as there were no conflicts, the beasts here should be no exception.

At this moment, Dian Man was seething with rage. Just as victory was about to be his, his body finally gave out, and he collapsed to the ground in frustration.

"Good news first." Then, face the bad news with strength to avoid being caught off guard.

But when the time came and the two were still nowhere to be seen, Liu Ling frowned, looking at Tan Chen.
