Volume 1, Chapter 23: With Perfect Justification

After entrusting the task of excavating the silver to Feng Min, Ning Shu took her people and departed. However, she left four guards behind to supervise the site. Returning to the inn, Ning Shu felt a weight lifted off her shoulders; she sank comfortably into the bathtub, washing away the foul odor from her body. Although the recent events had not been pleasant for her, she still felt as though she were living in a dream.

"Tell me, is there really anyone in this world with such good luck?" Lan Weixun toyed with a lock of her golden hair, winding it around her slender, fair fingers.

Yu Tang subconsciously raised his hands to protect his head, only to feel a cold hand reach out suddenly and clamp firmly around his throat.

"Since you know everything, are you willing to come with us?" Baili Wenrou asked for the second time.

She truly could not understand why Emperor Ye was always able to foresee her actions in advance. The critical thing was that her subconscious kept telling her to trust Emperor Ye.

"Why not? Surely you don't expect me to let them go?" Baili Wenrou no longer intended to strike; given the outcome for Tu Neng and the others, they could no longer pose any threat.

"Stop hitting me! Your wounds haven't fully healed yet. I used the Lingzhi, so please, stop! Master, I was wrong!" Hua Chen cried, curling up on the ground while shielding his head and begging for mercy.

If Chen Hao knew that Lan Lin'er had arranged a meeting directly with Mu Qing, one could only imagine how magnificent his expression would be.

If it weren't for that long spear belonging to Mo Qingtian, his own Nine Heavens Sword would likely not be as formidable as it is now, would it?

As Guan Jinlin was thinking this, he saw the ground tremble violently. Ten ronin suddenly vanished, and the three of them were flung into the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

That night, Mo You sat on the sofa for hours. She appeared to be heartbroken over Su Qinghan's coldness toward her, but in reality, she was meticulously plotting her own agenda.

Although the hidden guards dispatched by the You Prince's Mansion to watch Su Jinxi were not the most elite of Ye Youyao's team, and there were only two of them, they were strictly trained and highly capable of handling crises. Upon discovering Su Jinxi's disappearance, they immediately sent one guard to watch the road down the mountain, yet he too found no trace of her.

Zhao Tiezhu could see that William was furious, knowing exactly who the traitor in the Hua family was but unable to speak of it.

In an instant, Su Jinxi stood frozen in shock, tears streaming down her face like a spring, her hands trembling as she covered her mouth.

No matter which one she claimed to like more, there would inevitably be an overwhelming deluge of news reports, speculating on her choice and demanding that the two be together.

However, before he could truly get close, the starry sky began to hum. The anomaly originated from Tian Zhi; with her at the center, a black hole expanded. Beneath her feet was the starry sky, and all around her were black holes.

Zhang Yang stared at the numerous phone numbers on the screen for a long time, but still could not bring himself to press the call button. He knew that calling would only invite a barrage of questioning and tearful complaints. If he were to soften his heart and agree to their demands, it would be a disaster. It was better to keep hiding for a while longer.

On the plane, the captain began to announce an emergency situation, explaining that they were passing through a cloud layer charged with lightning. The air pressure within the clouds was unstable, and he instructed the passengers to fasten their seatbelts and remain in their seats without moving about.

In the vast room, Han Shui'er's words caused the atmosphere to become instantly oppressive and heavy.

"Damn it!" On the city wall, the Archer God roared in fury. He drew his bow, focusing his concentration as he aimed at Lost Heart. The Archer God was an exceptional marksman; otherwise, he would not have become the commander-in-chief of the Iron-Blooded Archer Corps.

"Listen, I am very grateful that you helped me comfort my mother! But if you think you can use that to trade for a romantic relationship with me, don't even think about it!" Wang Peng's voice turned icy.

It was just as he had been with his third brother before; now that his third brother was gone, he had transferred all of his loyalty onto Li Nan.
