Volume 1, Chapter 30: They Are the Adulterers

“This…” Ling Xuan instinctively wanted to refuse.

She had not married into the Marquis of Pingyang’s household to serve other people.

“If you had not caused this trouble, the old madam would not have fallen ill. From now on, serve her until she has gone to bed each day before returning to your own courtyard. The maids and matrons can handle the rough work; you need only take careful charge of her,” the Marquis of Pingyang ordered in a tone that allowed no objection.

“Father, I—I still have to look after Xinyue and Henglin!” Ling Xuan strongly resisted the arrangement.

Although the Ling family was not enormously wealthy or powerful, before her marriage she had been a pampered young lady whose fingers had never touched spring water.

Now that her father had even risen to become a high-ranking court official, she was instead expected to humble herself and wait upon some sickly old woman…

As far as Zhang Hong knew, after He Fengmian had hurriedly delivered Lin Wanyin safely, he had already instructed the driver to change direction.

A gentle breeze passed by. Lin Wanyin quietly enjoyed the night beneath the stars, unable to keep herself from recalling a certain scene.

Although no one had attacked Wei Yuan, his body was already covered with countless bloody fist marks. Threads of blood seeped from within him, gradually congealing into scabs.

Either the Rongdi were being devious, dividing their forces along several routes, perhaps even with allies supporting them from behind and holding back the other Shen family members capable of providing aid, leaving Shen Huaiyi no choice but to seek help from the imperial court.

All he could do now was delay the enemy as much as possible, preventing them from finding an opportunity to kill their fellow disciples. As long as he could hold out until one of the chief seats gained the upper hand and came to support them, the situation could be reversed in an instant.

Later, at dusk, Lin Wanyin returned home in a state of unease, yet an indelible scar and memory had already swept through her heart and mind. From beginning to end, Lin Bai remained completely unaware, acting as though nothing had happened. There had also been countless instances of partiality that could never be fully recounted.

Just as he had said moments ago, if Ji Jin could fully absorb that knowledge, the revival of the Zhou royal house might not be impossible.

Shen Yunqing looked at the foul-mouthed old woman and the third uncle, who was utterly convinced that he had done nothing wrong. Doubt rose in her heart: had the original owner’s father truly been born into a family like this?

After all, this era, this world, was no longer an ordinary one. It was a supernatural world.

Those few sentences made it sound as though Nangong Qiao were He Kang’s superior. In truth, judging by rank, Nangong Qiao and He Kang could only be considered equals.

Wasn’t this person supposed to be here to hold her accountable? Why had he set his sights on Fei Nancheng instead?

It should be understood that the Chen Granary defended by Sima Ang was the farthest from Hongmen. When Long Ju and Ying Bu reached the mouth of Xieshui Valley, Sima Ang had only just arrived at Meiyang County in the northeast of Mei County. He still had to cross Qishan County before he could reach Yong County—or, more precisely, Chen Granary.

However, old fellows like him were exceedingly afraid of death. That was clear from the many contingencies he had kept in reserve. As long as one became powerful enough—powerful enough that the Hidden Dragon would not dare scheme against him—it might not be impossible to subdue the Hidden Dragon and bring it under one’s command.

After examining it carefully, I realized that it was a harmless black-striped snake. I thought that if the Dwarf were here, he would already have happily climbed up to kill it and remove its gallbladder.

But unexpectedly, after shouting for quite some time, Su Qingqing remained unmoved. She continued walking forward with an icy expression.

Chu Xiu did not want to fight Ye Xuandao, but Ye Xuandao had no intention of letting him leave. Instead, he stepped forward and once again blocked Chu Xiu’s path.

As a result, the Qi army’s offensive against Anyang was forced to halt once more. At that moment, the Qi army’s commander, Tian Rong, was still unconscious, and the deputy general had no choice but to order the entire army to fall back into a defensive formation.

What surprised her even more was that the person who had given her such a shock was Chu Xiu, the very man with whom she had previously hesitated over whether to form an alliance.

Overdrawing one’s potential came with severe aftereffects. Ming Yuehua’s talent might even decline as a result.

“Mm, it’s in hand!” The man nodded, walked directly to the front of the van, and placed the bag over his shoulder inside.

Because Meng Qiaoqiao had entangled him, the emperor naturally had no chance to visit Consort An or Lady Ye.

At last they reached the guest room. Nurse Zhao and Ah Hua had also completed their task and left. Su Ziquan tossed Chen Yiming onto the bed, but, thinking that still was not secure enough, he simply shackled his hands and feet as well.

Divine fire collided with divine thunder. Two mighty divine forces exploded in midair, raising waves more than ten meters high.

What nonsense is this Western Church? When the gods of the Nine Provinces were born, who knows where you were hiding?

The nanny nodded and hurried to the kitchen to get to work. Zhang Xu panicked; seeing that Fu Mochen had not noticed him, he quietly slipped outside as well.

“I have already told you what will happen in the future. Whether you believe me or not, does that cause me any loss?”

Second Master Qiao’s reputation was as thunderous as his name. Even gatherings hosted by the Nalan family would begin later because of him alone; his influence could easily be imagined.

Leng Jun had arrived home by then. Hearing the special notification tone from the phone in his pocket, he could not help curving his lips.

Afterward, Sun Mengfei kissed Shen Zhuo without the slightest restraint… Only after a full five minutes did she reluctantly let him go.

Before long, the lap was complete. The car came to a stop, and Qiao Yeyu slowly released her before stepping out.

The Firelight Beast King withdrew its inner core. With a flash of red light, it transformed into human form and flew away, following close behind the purple flames as it attacked Jin Yi. At the same time, the Windborn Beast King likewise assumed human form. It thrust both palms forward and spiraled downward, forming a pincer attack.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yifeng immediately rolled his eyes from an angle where the others could not see, thinking, It’s already good enough if you don’t bully me.

Shangguan Xuan died suddenly. Without warning, Shangguan Duo forced his way into the palace. Luo Shuiyi’s heart meridians were sealed; after the curse was lifted, she was abducted.

“What are you thinking about?” Miao Qing noticed that Huang Kui seemed distracted, and her expression immediately darkened. Ignoring the many people around them, she fiercely pinched the soft flesh at his waist.

Mount Jilan lay thirty miles northwest of Eastpeak City. The terrain was steep, with strange peaks thrusting upward and enormous boulders scattered everywhere. Within the forty thousand miles of Yingzhou, however, it could not be considered the heartland of any immortal mountain.

The three men found his reasoning quite sound. They accepted the cigarettes Ah B handed them, lit them one after another, and soon were happily exhaling clouds of smoke.

The merfolk stared in astonishment at the scene before them, especially Jiao Wei and Jiao Cheng. Terror filled their hearts. If Jin Yi had released two such formidable beasts earlier, on the surface of the sea, wouldn’t they all have…? At the thought, cold sweat poured down their bodies. No wonder this human youth was so formidable.

A person like this might not have much wealth to squeeze out of him, but in any case, he was still a little richer than people like them, wasn’t he?

Three crisp sounds rang out in succession. Three dazzling rays vanished, while the three rapidly approaching balls of light lost their disguises, revealing what truly lay behind them.

“Go ahead and unleash yourself! Don’t overthink it,” the Big Dipper said. “Just use whatever you are best at!” In other words, whatever technique you used, the result would be the same, so there was no need to waste your mind on it.

The car slowly drove out of Lotus Village. Not long afterward, Tang Zhong stopped at an intersection, his eyes filled with confusion.
