Volume 1, Chapter 40: The Truth of the Past

"Young Miss, I have settled the old nurse at the inn. I specifically chose an inconspicuous place, so I believe it should not attract anyone's attention."
Ling Yu had always been cautious and prudent when it came to such matters.
How many times had I been unable to go on in the army, wanting to be discharged, only for my brother-in-law to counsel me again and again, encouraging me?
"Oh, the Northern District battlefield is safe, right... Wait a minute, you said the Northern District battlefield? Not the Northern District fortress?!" Li Tiannan, who was just about to nod, suddenly froze.
The Red Samurai slowly drew his red blade, raising it high above his head; the arc of the descending blade was aimed precisely at my waist.
Fu Hao had just come from the restroom, and upon entering, he bumped into Ye Xiaoren, who was rising like a zombie, giving him a huge fright.
He organized the stack of cultivation manuals given to him by Long Ao, integrated them with the existing earth-element demonic arts of the Demon Sect, and after a complete revision, concocted a powerful secret manual.
The Fifth Madam’s family were merchants and quite wealthy, making her a primary target for Old Madam Lu’s disciplinary efforts.
Whether it was because Qi Hengxing had aged after his high fever, or because he was standing before the Green Cave where he had punished himself, his tone and rhetoric were no longer as forceful as they once were.
The clothes worn by the cultivators here, aside from the standard-issue uniforms of the Qingbo Sect, varied, but one could essentially tell at a glance that they were cultivator attire—just as soldiers and police from different countries wear different uniforms, yet are instantly recognizable as military or law enforcement.
"Heh, you have no self-awareness at all, yet you still want to follow us onto the flying island? Walk back yourself!" Mu Lingqing also sneered.
Zhou Mengyuan concluded that the saddlebag contained antique treasures and was filled with curiosity, yet he had to leave with great reluctance.
Ai Li’s face was already flushed red; although she could not understand what followed, she felt it was definitely nothing good.
It was probably a hundred years ago that Ei went to Khaenri'ah alone to quell the disaster, keeping it from Shogun. By the time Shogun followed, it was too late. When she returned to Inazuma, her friends had all fallen, leading her to obsess over a static eternity, fearing the pain of loss once more.
The mere thought of Ai Li lying limp and helpless, allowing herself to be manipulated, made her heart restless.
Ruan Xingmian did not expect her mother to be so forceful all of a sudden; in fact, since returning home, she had only received favoritism from Fu Siyan, her mother, and her eldest brother.
Especially when Meng Bingyi and Fu Siyan heard of their compensation, both men wore cold expressions, making it impossible to tell if they were satisfied or not.
"Then take care, Brother Ye. Rest assured, your investment in me will absolutely be the best decision you make in this lifetime." As soon as the words fell, starlight began to shimmer upon Shen Pingfeng’s body.
Ei slowly stood up from Ai Li’s body, her gaze turning cold once more as she looked toward a certain direction.
The second emperor of the new dynasty issued a decree, ordering Grand Marshal Hou Tian, Minister of Works Hou Andu, and Regional Commander Xu Du to lead troops and resist them.
Fang You did not fear appearing in public; these special attempts provided him with opportunities to uncover hidden talents.
If not for the sake of the original body's parents and sisters, she would have long ago snapped the necks of this bunch of shameless people. Why bother wasting breath with them? It would be nothing more than a fool’s errand.
The drop rate set on Li Xiang’s auxiliary software was ten times, but according to the base drop rate Li Xiang checked in the installation package—0.1 per thousand—the bonus was merely 1.0 per thousand.
Hearing this, Wang Yuanqi’s suspended heart finally settled. "Your Majesty, these people have no regard for the law and have attempted to disrupt the imperial examinations; their crimes are unforgivable. However, this is a time when the imperial examinations are needed to select talent, so it is not appropriate to resort to the blade."
Upon hearing Song Ning’s voice, he suddenly opened his eyes, and then, with his hand hidden in his sleeve, he quickly thrust it forward, slipping a note into Song Ning’s palm.
