Chapter 57

Xuan Shuang also approached, but she said nothing, merely casting a silent glance at Luo Yu. Seeing he was unharmed, she resumed playing with her snowy white hair.

Perhaps the legendary beings capable of stirring the heavens and earth, of ushering in apocalyptic calamities, were in fact the original founders of the Infinite Space. Their ability to enter this realm and become Reincarnators was entirely due to their heritage as descendants of these great figures.

“When did I ever hit you?” Xu Ling retorted sharply. Her nephew was a scholar—she preferred to avoid trouble, but if she didn’t snap back now, adopting Sir Lang would be out of the question.

“Come out and fight if you’ve got the guts!” Sniba bellowed in a rough voice as Gao Chuan slunk back into the hall. Nearby, some gangs rose to bolster the tension.

Even some experts and scholars began debating whether to establish a set of standards for commentators and ban biased attitudes on the spot.

Lin Su was genuinely startled. His conscience was clear, but the atmosphere in this private room gave him a guilty feeling—as if he were a thief caught in the act. How could he have run into Guo Zhaoxue here?

Before Ku Zhu could strike, Li An flicked his hand, sending the throwing knives he had just retrieved flying back out in a flurry.

“How could a wealthy child ever despise food? Next time you have something, just give it to them. Don’t worry—they won’t turn it down, and neither will I,” Xu Miao said, laughing heartily.

Dai Xiao understood the promotion and appointment system within the group. Huang Lianhong was known for her unconventional talent recruitment, and it was precisely this that allowed the group to develop as it had.

Returning to the topic, it was because Zhou Bancheng always felt his son had not enjoyed a father’s love by his side and believed he owed him that he had spoiled him excessively, even using the family’s influence to shield him from misfortune.

“Aze, Gao Jun is ready. Let’s head to the back,” Mi You whispered as she approached him from behind.

“Sir, you’re too kind. I’ve been on this path for over ten years now, and I’m used to it. It doesn’t tire me. Besides, if I brought a donkey cart, the donkey would just get in the way of my business.”

Chu Shang had just left Shangguan Feng’s room when he called for Bing Qin and Ye Lan, instructing them to attend carefully to Shangguan Feng. Meanwhile, he stood quietly outside, watching her until she fell asleep, then reluctantly departed.

Although Physician Liu assured that Shangguan Feng’s body, with proper care, would not affect her fertility, the matter still pricked Xuanyuan Ye’s heart like a needle, causing occasional sharp pangs.

Knowing he was coming, Jerry had arranged for someone to wait for him below and directly escorted him via elevator to their residence.

Though the big competition hadn’t started yet, anyone could crush a pushover, and Wang Yu was the softest of all in the Qilin Society and Xuanwu Gang. Eliminating Wang Yu made it difficult for the Northern District to assemble a strong team before the big contest, effectively removing a rival.

Over a thousand clan members had been resettled from Zhongshan to Fengcheng. Zhongshan relocated most of its breeding farms to Fengcheng, even sending Dong Lai, the breeding supervisor, directly to Fengcheng. Zhongshan appointed him to oversee all civil affairs there, placing Fengcheng’s elders under his authority.

With so many items, it was impossible to bring them directly home—discovery would bring trouble. After some thought, she lied again, calling someone to say she had met a colleague and would be late returning.

No matter how much she thought, her mind was blank. Rather than dwell on it, she preferred to save her energy and wait for Gu Chen’s return to explain everything.

Mu Chonghao was eager to know if she had been thinking of him during her momentary reverie but dared not ask. If she wished to say, she would.

A meaningful smile appeared on her face, as if she were plotting something.

How had the situation shifted to their household, where her precious son was kissing his father? And it was no trivial matter.

The makeup room’s eyes widened. Gu Xiran massaged her forehead, deciding not to explain. If the relationship was exposed, so be it—there was no benefit or harm to herself.

Qu Dan and his companion, sharp and perceptive, immediately sensed something amiss, becoming fully alert as they cautiously moved closer. The unknown creature that had flown in earlier had long since vanished after winding through twists and turns.

“Madam, you’ve returned,” the servant cleaning near the door greeted her politely with a respectful smile.

By now, the Legal Association had not only restored its former glory but even surpassed it.

Ye Yulin glanced at Mu Chonghao. “If it’s even more dangerous, who would dare fight you?” He then turned and walked toward the rice fields. He politely declined the room the village chief had arranged for him, leaving him without a place to sleep that night.

“Not bad. I’ve studied for a few months, and now I can handle daily conversations without issue,” Zhang Jing said shyly.

However, the elders discovered the blood mist was excessively powerful and beyond their ability to dissipate quickly. Fortunately, four highly skilled elders from the Supreme Spirit Sect arrived later, replacing five elders from the Zhong lineage to fully confront the blood mist.

“Heh, regardless of whether your words are true, such high-risk matters, especially involving life-threatening dangers, shouldn’t be entrusted to a pawn. Lingyin Daoist should keep it for herself, and so I dare not accept her affection.”

In the sky, before the faint golden sun, even Ao Lin, the Dragon Clan’s Third Princess, felt a sense of shame and humility.
