Volume 1, Chapter 49: Princess Lanmin Requests an Audience

A palace gate had become an uncrossable chasm. Yun Jinghua was a high-ranking official capable of meeting with the envoys from East Zhao, while he, of low rank and humble position, could only stop here.

Su Ziwen walked towards the garden in low spirits with his head lowered. Before he had taken a hundred steps, he almost crashed headlong into someone.

"Hey, watch where you're going," a shrill voice suddenly rang out.

Su Ziwen abruptly raised his head to see a young eunuch standing before him. The eunuch gave a perfunctory cupped-fist salute and said, "So it is Master Su. Do be more careful while on duty. The imperial palace is not like the Marquis Pingyang's estate; it is a place with strict rules. If you were to offend a noble personage, both you and I would be blamed by our superiors."

Su Ziwen clenched his fists so tightly that the blood in his entire body seemed to rush to his face...

Therefore, all Andy could do to help him was within a reasonable business framework. Of course, she would also do whatever lay in human power and leave the rest to destiny. However, this required an opportune moment. As for whether anything could be changed, only MJ himself could decide.

Before Luke could finish speaking, Teacher He's somewhat eager voice suddenly came over again.

The headmaster had already lost all his dignity by this time. Daring not say a word, he fled in a panic, looking utterly disheveled.

Diaochan had not expected Lü Lingqi to ask so directly, and for a moment she did not know how to respond, falling immediately into silence.

A fire of irritation quietly ignited in Zheng Ya's heart. To be honest, this occasion and this circle did not give Zheng Ya a good feeling right now. He was not particularly keen on attending Lin Zhiyu's birthday party, and he certainly hadn't come here to be snubbed.

Cheng Xueyan was completely at a loss from this stern reprimand. Looking around at the others, she saw that they all wore expressions of detached indifference, with only Qin Guolan casting a glance in her direction.

This description was a bit too wild, but in Zhang Hao's eyes, those rookies who entered the league after him indeed lacked any real presence.

Le Qing gazed at the carriage driver, her hands tightly clenched inside her sleeves. A conspiracy? It was a conspiracy! She had been too terrified just moments ago to notice, and it was fortunate that the fellow surnamed Ye had such sharp eyes. But who was it? Who was so vicious as to want her dead?

"My fellow students, what do you hope to achieve by following us?" Cheng Yu asked with a smile.

Sisi nodded, while Feiyan looked at Shu Yi with astonishment. She had no idea what methods Shu Yi had used to make Sisi speak. Shu Yi merely smiled at her; he had no time to explain to Feiyan right now, and since Feiyan knew nothing about the space-time anomalies, Shu Yi did not even know how he should explain it to her.

"You child! Even if you have money, you shouldn't spend it recklessly!" Madam Lan scolded Anping playfully while coaxing Le Zhen in her arms.

However, the very next second, Haikui understood why Mu Donglin was troubled. If it were him, he would find it difficult too.

Haikui roughly estimated that there must be nearly a thousand people here. It seemed the number of immortals in the immortal realm was quite substantial, especially since these individuals were still only at the primary immortal cultivation stage.

For this temporary airfield, Heydrich mobilized the residents of Amstetten. When the locals learned that a large number of airplanes would land in Amstetten and that they would actually be paid for their labor, they threw themselves into the work with great enthusiasm without a second word.

She looked up at the sky, knowing that at this hour Yuan Tiangang would most likely be meditating in his private chamber. Yongning thus dusted off her dark blue Daoist robe and headed towards Yuan Tiangang's quarters.

"The mortal world has no Dao!" Gazing at Cangsheng WuDao, the Grim Reaper's spokesperson wore a sneer, and immediately charged straight toward him.

The tears in Yongning's eyes could no longer be held back; they fell drop by drop as she parted the hem of her skirt and knelt down. "Mother—Yongning has returned." Suddenly, she was unwilling to use the Daoist name "Ningzhen" in front of Madam Lu, feeling that the name itself was a form of hurt inflicted upon her.

Listening to Man'er's comforting words, Qi Yu desperately wanted to say that this wasn't what was annoying her, yet she couldn't speak of the true reason either.

"Can't you come up with a fresh excuse?" Feng Wu directly formed a magic seal in his hand, opened the door, and hurled the seal outward. After hearing a series of alarmed cries from outside, the hallway instantly quieted down.

"Your performance just now was truly magnificent. Had I not seen it with my own eyes, I would never have known that you possessed such a variety of unique skills—able to pick locks and start fires alike. It seems all you learned on your trip to Pingshan were the practices of a bandit." Shentu Wen's voice was icy, like a sharp blade of ice that flayed Xiao Liuli's pride to shreds.

Since this karmic tie had been formed anyway, regardless of whether they sought revenge or not, Feng Wu would certainly make them pay dearly at the first available opportunity.

"Hey, girl, what are you daydreaming for? Why aren't you hurrying to catch up?" At this moment, Ye Feng had already started walking out with several leaders. Seeing that Zuo Fang was dazed, he patted her head and called out.

Hearing this, Wei Hong was instantly drenched in cold sweat. Back when the head of their Wei family had fallen gravely ill, they had begged the Xie family for an untold amount of time before the Xies finally agreed to step in and save the old man's life.

This left everyone present even more dumbfounded. What happened to the tactical drill they were promised? What happened to the practical application? Were they seriously being taught specifically how to take a beating?

"Praise my lord Allie! I know full well that I have no business being here, except to lay eyes upon my lord's most perfect creation—be it merely to catch a glimpse from afar, or to praise him openly to his face!" The angel stated his thoughts without the slightest disguise, as if harboring no intention of concealment whatsoever.

"I... I didn't say anything." She swallowed hard, her voice trembling slightly.

Seeing the actions of Gong Shang and Guan Weixin, the ever-clever Zheng Yuanli also signaled to Wang淼 and the others, nodded at Feng Wu, and closely followed behind Gong Shang and his group.

"No! The person who bought it wasn't Wang Baiwan, but Mei Yingxue!" Liang Yunsheng answered with certainty.

Everyone else was focused on their own combat division missions, so no one understood the current trend of the safe zone's situation better than Wei Qing.

It wasn't that Carlot was unwilling to take the initiative; rather, he genuinely could not find the direction in which the otherworldly beings were located.

Hanging up the phone and hearing her laughter, the kidnapper turned his head, furrowing his brows in suspicious confusion.

Yet Chopper was the very first among the Straw Hat crew to touch the Dao of nature—the balance between man and nature, beast and nature, man and beast. Such was the terrifying speed of Chopper's progress.

Ye Qi turned around, and the dilapidated door of the bar slammed shut with a loud bang. Perhaps pushed with too much force, the letter "i" fell right off the signboard.

To the white-robed man's surprise, Chu Yunfei offered no resistance whatsoever, obediently allowing himself to be captured without a fight. Although the leader of the white-robed men was somewhat astonished, the joy of victory overwhelmed him. He ordered his subordinates to escort Chu Yunfei onto a carriage, and the procession rumbled away toward the west.

Chu Yunfei nodded, but without replying to Madam Jia's words, he left the room with an inscrutable expression.

Therefore, these innate divine gods had not taken Hunter seriously at all in the beginning. When Hunter pressed forward relentlessly, charging straight toward the direction of the World Stone, although they trusted their past experiences, they still sought to eliminate every possible contingency.

Returning to his home, he took out the basketball from his high school days—yes, Luan Jiye had brought this basketball along with him, intending to use it for future practice. Moreover, even if it were to break, Luan Jiye would patch it up and keep it carefully displayed in a corner.
