Volume 1, Chapter 64: Returned

With the Emperor's subtle warning moments ago in the Wuying Hall, coupled with the elusive and omnipresent brocade-clad guards, even though their desire to crush Qu Qingyan was burning unabated, they had no choice but to behave themselves in the capital for the short term.

She walked over and placed her hands on his shoulders. Though they were closest kin, they could never openly stand together in the sunlight. She vowed that one day, when all of this was finally over, she and her younger brother would travel across Laos from end to end.

In the past, mahjong was played on simple wooden tables, but now things had progressed; they had purchased an automatic mahjong machine. Having been away for quite a few years, the village seemed to have undergone some changes. The road at the village entrance had been paved into cement, whereas it used to be just a dirt track. A considerable amount of sand and gravel had been piled up near the entrance as well, presumably in preparation for further road construction.

Perhaps it was due to memory loss coupled with a body that had only just recovered, which made her feel somewhat abnormal?

As their eyes met, Hua Xu's eyes turned red. She had imagined reuniting with Yan Chengluo countless times—perhaps it would be moving enough to bring her to tears, or perhaps they would embrace in overwhelming excitement.

Lan Jinyi snapped back to reality instantly, looked up at the empty intravenous drip bottle, and bolted out the door.

When Linglong was absent, she would stay within her spatial realm to examine the artifacts retrieved from the ancestral estate, yielding many fruitful gains over these past few days.

Just as she was feeling anxious and uneasy, she learned that the incident had been resolved by the brothers of the Xin family. It turned out the Xin family might not only escape implication altogether but could even receive official commendation. Consequently, everyone looked at Xin Yanyuan with entirely different eyes.

This is bad... Over the past couple of days, she had felt that Gu Qingcuiqu's attitude toward her was rather strange. Could it be that he was growing suspicious of her? At this thought, she hurried into the bathroom, pulled the phone from her pocket, swiped to unlock it, and opened her contacts.

Sweat poured down the disciple's back as a glance from Yun Shu swept across him. Master Lingxiao, head of the Yuehan Sect, also glared back, seemingly deeply displeased that his disciple had been overly conspicuous.

Xuetang escorted Su Qianwan and Sun Qingzhou out of the main hall, curtsied respectfully to Su Qianwan, and then turned back inside.

In just a brief span of time, they had developed the exact same psychological inertia as the people of Lin Yue's world.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she rushed up to the rooftop, thinking to herself: No! Mom wouldn't come up here! Mom is going out for a walk! She must have gone downstairs first! Yet, her feet seemed to be pulled by some unseen force, carrying her upward in an unstoppable dash toward the roof.

Unrushed to give a definite answer, he instead asked, "Can they guarantee this?" Hearing those words, Zhou Yi knew there was a good chance.

Did this mean that from now on, aside from the Imperial Uncle and Aunt Liu, he would have to cater to the moods of even more people?

Having been utterly exhausted throughout the entire day, she ignored Xiao Rou's persuasion, collapsed onto the bed like a corpse, and mumbled, "Just let me sleep for a moment, just a moment..." Her voice was thick with drowsiness.

"Tell me whatever you wish to eat, and I shall feed you myself," Qin Limu said, gesturing toward the dishes already laid out on the round table inside the bedchamber.

Jia Chengdeng becoming a vegetative state allowed his wife, Lady Jia, who had long been relegated to limbo, to see the light of day once more. Lady Jia was in exuberant spirits, her irrepressible joy clearly visible on her face; after just over ten days, she looked like a completely renewed person.

"Elder sister, you head back first. I'll contact you once the video is edited!" You Zishi said goodbye to Yang Guang's wife, who then boarded a commercial van and departed.

One had to bear in mind that the communicative ability of the Jiamei people with plants would weaken during certain periods. Whenever that happened, they had to meditate beneath the Tree of Jiamei and only leave once their bodies had fully recovered.

"In other words, the only thing my opened spatial passage can guarantee is our own time here, but as for the time over there—no matter how long I open the passage, I have no way to pinpoint the exact year! I can only make a rough estimate!" Qin Ancestor explained.

Even though the two of them were mere strangers who had happened to cross paths, Duan Zhu was able to go to such lengths. To be honest, Lin Yun still held a certain degree of fondness for him. At least from what he had seen so far, Duan Zhu was not the scheming type; his only flaw was perhaps being a bit too talkative.

Ordinary monsters lacked the capacity for verbal communication, but demons from hell were a different story, especially powerful pure-blooded demons. The scarlet-robed paladin had spent time at the headquarters of the Holy Doctrine and was aware of such profound secrets, prompting him to seek confirmation now.

Of course, that was primarily due to the home-field advantage. Under the suppression of the Great Will's rules, the combat prowess of the five Monster Spirit Kings was reduced to the equivalent of just two.

"Do you still have some trick up your sleeve? It's useless. The gap between us is too vast; you are no match for me," Akamoto Yokokawa said with utter contempt.

"Heh, let me show you a thing or two about how the world works!" Ling Zuotian laughed wickedly, instantly withdrawing all the funds he had been using to suppress the market.

By now, their miraculous traits carried at least a thirty percent quality enhancement, and their suppression at the half-step world-class level was extremely low. Merely in terms of comprehensive qualities, they had already reached the champion limit, surpassing ordinary peak champions.

Song Nanxi was both angry and anxious, yet utterly helpless. When she turned her head, however, she plunged straight into Mo Linyuan's profound and tender gaze.

Yet amidst this pile of objects, a single pearl lay quietly. As the two of them looked at it, a trace of surprise washed over them.

"As for finding the Imperial Jade Seal, though your master does not have many clues on hand at the moment, there are still a few leads."

"Thank you both." She smiled sweetly, her expression as sugary as honey, and accepted the metal box with both hands.
