Chapter 58

Peng Tiebao cried out in alarm and exerted all his strength to grip his iron spear. Unexpectedly, Xue Dingshan leveraged Peng Tiebao's force, flipped over with his painted halberd, and leaped directly ashore.

Step by step flashed through Muye's mind, and only then did he realize that a step had been missed.

Li Tai nodded without saying anything, simply rising and walking outside, followed by Wen Yan.

At this point, Tomoya's expression suddenly turned rapturous, and an eerie flush inexplicably appeared on his face. He slowly closed his eyes, as if sinking into some daydreams.

Liu Yinhuan left the room while plotting in her heart: "If I don't want to be scolded by my eldest uncle, I have to take my sister out with me. But if I tell her, I won't be able to leave either. What should I do?" Liu Yinhuan, always mischievous and bold, rolled her eyes and instantly came up with a plan. With a mischievous giggle, she returned to her own room.

A smile touched Su Jiu's lips as she nodded. Summoning her Qingming Sword, she set off again with Li Yu and Yunyue. This time, without any delays, they headed straight back to Chang'an.

Yile nodded. Having just run under the sun, a light sheen of sweat had broken out on his forehead—from the heat.

"Why didn't Momo kill you, and even fought desperately to protect you?" Hao Tianxuan asked.

The next day, Zhang Lingshu pulled the still drowsy Lu Qingqing along to burn incense and fulfill their vows at the Jinci Mother Goddess Temple.

"I haven't left the Earth Abyss since I last departed. However, with only the city of Zhongdu left in the entire Central Province now, the situation has become exceptionally clear-cut. I can indeed talk about it..." Nan Wuxiang then recounted what he knew, piece by piece.

After walking for a distance, the woods began to fill with mist once more, obscuring the path ahead. Sounds drifted from near and far, resembling the intermittent, ethereal yet realistic echoes heard while walking through a hollow valley. Hearing such sounds alone would likely make anyone's legs tremble so much they could not move forward.

Uncle Third Yang was getting on in years; after being pushed down, he could not get up for a long time. Third Aunt Yang hurried over to check on him, while the two children burst into loud cries.

Liu Weirui showed no sign of sympathy, but rather an objective and fair demeanor, implying that had it been a normal reception, there would have been no disciplinary action.

What on earth was going on? What the hell was up with the vehicle being packed like sardines? Were all these people rushing to work?

Everyone's gaze fell upon Tang Jian's face, where the half-mask became the focal point.

From afar, the tattered shop banner could be seen. The old fellow swayed unsteadily, as if not yet sober from wine, wobbling three steps to a side as he approached.

His expression remained unchanged, but his hand grasped hers, holding it tightly within his own.

Madam Lin's temperament was not to make a direct scene, but rather to use schemes to achieve her goals. Yuhongsu, however, was extremely hot-tempered, and furthermore held a deep contempt for the Yang family. Consequently, she went straight to confront Madam Li.

Shen Junling's words caused Yuhongsu's beautiful face to flush crimson. She truly had not expected Shen Junling to address her so directly, and the term "co-wife" made her feel even more insulted. Biting her lower lip, she stamped her foot and ran out.

Perhaps Ye Tian did not understand that the harder one suppresses love in the heart, the more significant Luo Li's position becomes within it. But that was a matter for the future; at least for now, Ye Tian had no room in his mind for anyone else.

"Since it's a boy, does that mean we can be his godparents?" Yunbing looked at Leng Ying with sparkling eyes.

Ye Ning's mind kept calculating: Could they have guessed the contents of the heritage in my hands? Tumi Ruofei was ultimately not one of us; even if those inheritances were incomplete, there was no need to hand them over to nourish an enemy.

"Did he say anything?" Shaole seemed not to want to tire himself for even a second, walking over to the window, plopping down into a chair, pulling back the curtain, and casting a glance at the buildings and streets outside.

"Unless what?" Sangzhi glared at him, wondering what wicked scheme this man was hatching this time.

Just as Ye Tian's voice fell, the void before them shattered like a mirror. Bai Zhen's figure drew closer and closer, his formidable aura pressing down so heavily that Ye Tian and the other tottered and almost yielded without a fight.

Seeing their reaction, beads of sweat the size of peas rolled down Ye Tian's forehead. "Alright, I get it. Go back and sit down first," Sun Li said, snapping out of it and turning to Ye Tian. Perhaps due to Li Xue's departure, she had forgotten that Ye Tian had already skipped class for a day.

Gu Xixi's footsteps paused only slightly before she continued walking forward, waiting for her assistant to prepare her nightgown.

At this moment, he was utterly crestfallen, like a drowned phoenix inferior to a chicken, shrinking dispiritedly into a corner. Such an outcome was certainly not something he could have foreseen. Remembering his swaggering demeanor upon arrival and his arrogance in berating Ye Tian and the others, it was truly humiliating. He stared eagerly at Ye Tian, terrified that the latter would demand excessive terms.

Her eyes filled with a tender radiance, and she lowered her head, gazing condescendingly down at Gu Nianqing, who was cowering on the ground.

He was unwilling to maliciously speculate that Jiang Da had done it intentionally, only resenting him for being too unforthcoming. As expected, Yuehong was ultimately moved.

Hearing this, Zhong Zhentao could not help feeling a jolt in his heart. Although he had long suspected that the credentials in Lu Feng's possession were likely genuine, he never imagined Lu Feng possessed such immense clout. It was one thing for a district bureau chief to rush over personally, but even the former chief of the municipal bureau had arrived as well?

Having arranged matters on both sides, Huang He suddenly noticed that Yelu Chun of the Black Eagle Cult was also present, and stepped forward to ask him about the origins and sequence of events. Yelu Chun spoke vaguely, giving a brief and simple account of what had happened while concealing his secret alliance with the figures in black.

At home, there was never any rule about not speaking during meals or sleep; the family loved chatting at the dinner table, which was absolute moments of enjoyment and relaxation.

He still needed to clearly recognize the faces of Qiqi, Bao'er, and that Chu Muchen whom he had never met.

A chill rushed into her palm upon contact, and with a start, she felt a powerful surge of spiritual energy emanate from the yellowish object, directly stimulating the center of her hand.

"How could I not be pitiful? I had just formed my golden elixir back then." Xunyi wanted to look pitiful, but the excitement of returning to his homeland made his mouth twitch into a smile once more.
