Chapter 56: The Appearance of the Masked Man

For a moment, Su Yunyan was so overwhelmed by Jiang Jinshu's imposing presence that she was left speechless, reduced to a wronged and pitiful appearance as tears streamed down her face.

Seeing this, Shen Nanxing finally could not help but speak up.

"Enough, Jiang Jinshu! Now that you are a daughter-in-law of the Shen family, you should consider the family's interests. You cannot simply ignore Eldest Sister's situation! Yan'er was only kindly reminding you..."

Jiang Jinshu fixed her gaze on Shen Nanxing, a trace of sarcasm in her eyes.

He still wore the smile of an elegant and refined gentleman. Seeing that Feng Qiqi had turned back around, the corners of his eyes curved slightly as he leisurely walked toward her.

The forbidding, iron-clad fortress was adorned with festive lanterns and saturated in red over the next few days, while the crisp sound of firecrackers echoed from dawn until dusk.

As Master Sanjie's voice trailed off, he lifted the cover of a control console button and gently pressed his finger down upon the red button.

This middle-aged man was called Hou Ling, and he served as the commander of the current one thousand soldiers of the Tiance Mansion. A man of loyalty and honesty, though sometimes boisterous, he possessed a meticulous mind beneath his rough exterior and was an exceptionally capable military commander.

Moreover, Liu Chuxia sensed a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy emanating from the gloves, making it abundantly clear that these golden-threaded gloves were an enchanted weapon.

However, what he did not know was that Xu Rulong's life was not nearly as miserable as they imagined. Although the family allowances had indeed been entirely withheld and embezzled by certain individuals, his biological parents had left a substantial amount of funds with Uncle Fu. It was only due to Uncle Fu's frugality that things appeared this way.

Nanrong Kai glanced sideways at the man. The fellow was completely unfamiliar—was he some lunatic who had crawled out of nowhere, daring to subject him to the humiliation of crawling between a man's legs?

Iruka was not as nervous as he had been in the anime; following the Third Lord's instructions, he set off in pursuit of Naruto.

Watching their clansman continuously rolling about on the ground, the others drew sharp breaths of cold air. They had not expected the impact of a simple collision to carry such immense destructive force. True to his reputation as a martial arts fanatic, Xu Rulong was indeed someone best left unprovoked, the onlookers thought to themselves.

Just as Li Lin, genuinely feeling a long-absent surge of anger, prepared to embark on a slaughter, a somewhat familiar voice reached his ears. He opened his eyes in surprise and beheld a face that was intimately familiar to him.

After all, Feng Cailing's current strength still surpassed that of Xia Yuyan, and Liu Yanong naturally could not allow Xia Yuyan to take such risks.

Early in the morning, the Emperor led his legion commanders and their aides to inspect the blood-soaked battlefield that spanned several square kilometers.

"Alright, alright. I already know what scheme you're plotting," Han Yan said, casting a coquettish, sidelong glance at him while her face flushed with a rosy hue.

"You see, this is the bureaucratic way of handling such matters. Even when slapped in the face repeatedly by the church and certain minority groups, they still greet them with smiles. Yet if an ordinary citizen faces the slightest trouble, they instantly flip their faces and resort to force! This matter must be resolved! Since you refuse to act, I will take matters into my own hands!" Fang Tianfeng declared.

With no other choice, Bao Bei picked up the earpiece to contact Xiang Fei once more. Whether by coincidence or because she was genuinely busy, Xiang Fei was occupied and had no time to come over.

Just as he whipped his horse around and shouted frantically, an iron arrow whistled through the air, piercing straight toward his back. The 7th Division Commander whirled around abruptly, thrusting his spear forward to accurately intercept the iron arrow. A heavy impact surged through him, the formidable battle aura carried by the arrow driving his body back three steps, while his pure steel spear shaft was pierced clean through by the shot.

"I suppose I'll give it a try." However, judging from the way Ren Tianmo described it, Xiao Menghui still could not make sense of the situation, so she knocked on Li Jingyun's door to find out the truth from the person herself.

Taking advantage of Friday, and with the morning students arranged and Li Yulan absent, he decided to seize the opportunity to visit the hospital to alter the birth certificate. Then, tomorrow, he would head to the commune to change the age registered in his household registry. It was best to handle this matter early while the household registration system was still imperfect enough to exploit this loophole.
