Liu Yimin remained silent, single-mindedly calculating his manuscript fees.

Although Yun Wan had come to the Moon God Manor today for neither a formal visit nor a feast, she was dressed with impeccable dignity. She wore a long smoky-gray gauze dress beneath a layer of white silk veiling. Her dark hair was swept high, lending her an ethereal bearing and incomparable grace.

The fireworks and firecrackers were the same as every year, yet the blazing bursts before them seemed unusually vivid and crimson. It ought to be an auspicious sign.

Reclining on the chaise, Pei An'an nestled in Ling Muchen's arms, eating the fruit he fed her while gazing at the distant night sky.

When Qiao Bing heard Huo Zhen's words, she turned her eyes toward Luo Wanxin, whose face was twisted with anger. Her gaze held nothing but contempt and mockery.

She had not deliberately asked about the matter between Gao Wanjing and Situ Ze. After all, everyone was an adult, and prying into Gao Wanjing's private life would have been disrespectful. Besides, Gao Wanjing was perfectly capable of handling her own affairs.

Zhi Qian felt the world spinning around her and nearly collapsed unconscious. Forcing herself to leave the room, she immediately made her way to Yue Xia's cave dwelling. Yet before she had even reached the entrance, Zhi Qian could go no farther.

At that, her body began to tremble with fury. Her eyes remained forced wide, unblinking, until tears as large as beans finally spilled from them.

They had been parted from the person they loved most for more than a decade, without seeing each other even once. That humble relief at this moment was almost too painful to bear.

Seeing the blood in his palm, Qian Yun's brow darkened. He did not even know why, but anger suddenly surged through him, turning his eyes red.

“Madam…” Uncle Zhao’s eyes filled with tenderness despite the anger in them as Yun Yiyi seized his arm.

Su Mianmian froze. When her body gave a faint tremor, she lowered her lashes, afraid to meet his deeply affectionate gaze.

At the guards’ words, they immediately rushed over and began hacking with their swords. Yet no matter how they struck, the clusters of mist could not be dispersed. The sharp blades passed straight through them, leaving them exactly as they had been.

Thanks to the incident at the anime exhibition, Ye Kai officially became famous at Jiangnan University. Whether it was a good reputation or a bad one, no one could say. Ha-ha.

“Barrier, deploy!”

Lu Wang raised a barrier with both hands, shielding himself from being blown away. The spectators in the surrounding stands covered their eyes, grabbed hold of the children beside them, and naturally had no time to worry about the snacks in their hands.

Ji Yanchuan nodded and rose to leave with him. Xia Xi, walking ahead, heard them and glanced back. When she saw the figures leaving through the rear door, she hurriedly took her wallet from her bag.

Nangong Xu felt somewhat disappointed. He had thought the other person was a fellow traveler who had crossed over in the flesh, but it seemed his hopes had been in vain.

Qi Yueyao ignored Chai Jun. She extended her hand and let the spirit butterfly settle in her palm. Hearing it pant desperately and sensing how severely its spiritual power had been depleted, she did not waste another moment and directly infused it with her own spiritual power.

She was absolutely not the sort to cling shamelessly to someone. She had been proud from birth, had never begged anyone, and would never abandon her dignity to plead for love.

She parked the car skillfully at the gate. After looking toward the villa, she got out, inserted the key, and opened the door. Brilliant sunlight streamed from within.

Ya Jiuchen seized the opportunity and threw a punch at Su Zheng, but Su Zheng reacted swiftly and sent a punch of his own.

The men fighting were even more ferocious. Some simply tore off their shirts and went at it bare-chested, battling with blazing intensity. After watching for a while, however, one could see that they had not stripped merely because they were hot. They were also using it to distinguish friend from foe.

The Yang chieftains of Yimei, Pingcha, Shiye, Diba, and the other four territories had long been sworn enemies of the Ran clan. When the Ran clan offered troops to the Shu royal residence, the Yang clan did the same. The Ran clan contributed one battalion of six companies; the Yang clan contributed exactly the same number—one battalion of six companies.

“Have you had the elders of your sect examine it?” Liu Wuchen asked. The Changliu Sect also possessed a powerful cultivator of the Celestial Realm. Since that mysterious Celestial Realm expert could erase memories, another such expert ought to be able to restore them as well.

The Prince Regent had not offered the Imperial Censor any advice. Instead, he stepped forward of his own accord to introduce Wu Qianyi. Fu Shangrui, the judicial commissioner of Wuchang, followed close behind, as though he were extremely familiar with Shopkeeper Shi.

“He is an elder of the sect, my martial uncle who oversees the transmission of teachings. But he has not concerned himself with affairs of the martial world for five years,” Fei Donghai said with the utmost respect.

Huang Xiangdong hurried away, leaving Shangguan Jiafang behind. He said he had an urgent matter to attend to and instructed Shangguan Jiafang to keep Lin Yuming company properly.

Li Mo personally tested it. When he had just placed the jade bottle containing the pills on top, he had not noticed anything unusual. But now, when he tried to take it down, he found it utterly immovable. Even the cap could not be opened. Only then did he finally relax. Yet immediately afterward, he grew annoyed again. This was his own shop—if even he could not retrieve it, how could that be acceptable?

Qin Yang moved two inches closer to Dai Yun and raised his head. His eyes changed strangely once more, shifting from bright and clear to an unfathomably deep black. Anyone whose gaze fell into them would find it impossible to pull away. They were like a mire: one knew something was wrong, yet could not escape.

There was no need to say more. Someone must have thought that, since they could not attach the name of Yuan Tiangang to it, Liu Bowen would do just as well. Thus, they attributed the words to Liu Ji and spread various mystical claims in order to achieve their hidden aims.

The black-clad youth’s supernatural ability was not particularly advanced, so its power was limited. In front of Lou Xi, a cultivator, he was all but showing off an axe before Lu Ban.

Those words were like a stone tossed into a sea without a ripple. Rong Yun’s expression did not change in the slightest.

“Come inside with me.”

He took Su Jin by the hand and led her straight into the room.

Zheng Shuguang watched the mother and her two children laughing together and could only shake his head helplessly. Yet, he had to admit that whenever they were happy, he felt happy as well.
