49 Execution by Firing Squad

Mu Yang naturally had no objections to having someone keep him company, especially since she was such an endearing, older-sister-like figure.

Ye Ling started slightly, then sensed that this was the young master's aura. Her suddenly flustered heart settled again, yet the young master's playful romantic prompting caused her heart to hammer wildly like a trapped deer.

In the distance, two dark figures flashed past the front of the villa and concealed themselves behind a large tree before picking up their phones to make a call.

The door opened, and Old Yan looked with a puzzled expression as several masked men in black entered the house. Completely bewildered, Old Yan had no idea what these people were trying to do.

That evening, Wei Si was coaxed and cajoled by Zhao Yingyuan and Xu Jinjian into a teahouse located in the northwest of the Forbidden City. Just as Wei Si was wondering when these two had changed their temperament to appreciate tea, he saw a flower-like youth emerge to greet them.

A Dong laughed like that for a long time, roughly ten minutes, and during this period none of us stopped him from acting foolishly.

However, in the corner of the counter, Du Yi did notice some medicines, though they were all ordinary goods such as hemostatic powder, anesthetic powder, and detoxifying ointments.

The subtle shifting of expressions on his face did not escape Feng Feng's notice in the least. Even though Feng Feng could not openly show concern for the young master at that moment, she could not help but secretly and silently observe him, pouring her fervent thoughts and feelings into him.

"Hey!" Blood Eagle shouted, interrupting the conversation among Qi Man and the other two. "The three of you shouldn't just be busy plotting your own clever schemes," Blood Eagle said, pointing a finger toward the Kun-palace stone tower. "I heard movement coming from the top of that stone tower right from the beginning."

It had to be said that this person's deduction was well-reasoned and convincing. However, there remained one most crucial question.

Perhaps Yan Rushun's time-saving suggestion struck right at his pain point, as he actually began to consider the possibility of this matter.

It seemed she only had a bit more to say when the topic turned to children, and in the future, he simply wouldn't easily trigger that subject. Thus, the questions he still wanted to ask were swallowed right back down.

"With a fine steed of the blood-sweat breed available, he insists on riding a Ruran horse instead. The emperor is simply fishing for a reputation—such hypocrisy!" Magu followed closely beside Pei Shengqin, still wearing an expression of disdain for everyone she saw.

Wang Jiong stared at the images of himself and the monsters behind him depicted on the mural, murmuring softly to himself.

This brocade-robed man, Fu Yang, had a somewhat delicate and feminine countenance, yet his manners were impeccably courteous. Although uninvited, he was the owner of this establishment after all, and coming to pay his respects to a hero and see an idol in person was entirely reasonable and proper.

"Having ambitions is a good thing, but everything must be done step by step; you cannot rush it," Wang Xu instructed.

Back at Fuling Mountain, he had once covertly used an investigative spell on his grandmaster, but it had failed because the gap in power was simply too vast. At the very least, he knew back then that his grandmaster possessed boundless mystical abilities, so that failure was hardly surprising. Yet why was he likewise unable to obtain any information about the maidservant before him?

Judging by the visual records, the mechas of the two Hunting Lords were deployed with extreme promptness and immediately activated their strongest defensive mode: the Mechanical Fortress.

Meanwhile, seeing that Chen Mo had yet to make his entrance, all the elders of the Reincarnation Realm in the audience and the apex divine-realm powerhouses seated above cast their gazes toward Chen Mo's designated seat.

"You are already twenty-six years old and long overdue to take a wife and have children. I grant you this marriage. However, today I am bestowing a marriage not only upon you, but also upon Minister Feng," declared the sovereign.

In the vast majority of cases, the patrons were merely traveling merchants or out-of-towners stopping by the tavern for a casual meal before hastily departing.

After arriving at the entrance of the KFC store, they looked up at the three characters spelling "KFC" on the plaque.

Xi Hua randomly clicked on a post. The towering thread had grown to an unknown depth.

The restroom was stocked with brand-new toiletries and clothing, which must have been provided by the auntie for his use.

Meanwhile, a cry of "Hold your hand from the blade!" echoed from outside the prison, and soon after, Prince Liunian was seen running inside.

Although Xuan Ming's daily routine was extremely busy, he could still manage to carve out a little time to flip through popular storybooks.

Yet such things could never be entirely guarded against. Man Chong knew that while these individuals possessed a certain social standing and status, at their core they still retained that fierce, untamed valor.

However, with the passing down of the martial art known as the Longevity Art, the realm of the Grandmaster was no longer an insurmountable barrier for the martial artists of this world, and shattering the void had also become a possibility. One could only wonder what kind of state this world would evolve into in the future.

This amicable attitude of negotiation was indeed difficult to dislike. Since Lan Zichen had not made a move just now, Shangguan Fei and the others had no reason to strike them down.

This imperial palace was neither a bustling market nor a tavern; it was not a place one could enter and leave at will. Leaving aside the audacity of coming to the imperial palace to demand items, Shangguan Yun chose not to expose him lest Ke Qingqing be displeased upon hearing it.

Shangguan Fei spoke in such a low voice that no one besides those immediately beside him could hear. Yet Shangguan Chen's appearance made it seem as though someone were acting out of kindness for his benefit, only for him to respond with ungrateful hostility and anger towards them.

Outside of peak holiday seasons, pedestrians along the mountain trail were sparse, and that desolate stone platform remained deserted. Yet right where the shrine niche originally stood, the air suddenly rippled like water waves.

"The Crown Prince has issued an imperial decree summoning you—surely it isn't simply for the sake of these two people?" Lu Rongweng gestured toward Shangguan Yun.

Yu Bai was completely unaware of these developments, and by the time he finally arrived in Chiyoda Ward, located the address, lingered in covert observation, and resolved to take action, two full days had already passed.
