Volume 1, Chapter 39: Seventy Thousand Taels?

A wager? Upon hearing Shen Ji’s words, Meng Yi was immediately intrigued. Xu Wan frowned slightly, but could not help but try to persuade him: "These three absolute couplets have stumped everyone. Even if you cannot complete them, there is no shame in it! Do not act out of a momentary impulse!"

Hearing Xu Wan’s words, Chen Liuqi, Chichi, and the others also began exchanging glances with Shen Ji. Why bother with such a petty wager? If he couldn't solve them, he couldn't solve them; at most, people would just say he was bragging.

The Golden Lion's expression was one of extreme annoyance, but then, he was suddenly startled. He whipped his head around, his right hand already swinging his sword. Having discovered that Li Yang had left the marketplace through the same exit as Xia Dong—only an hour apart—Mu Yuan had locked onto his target. After confirming Li Yang’s appearance from the cultivators present at the scene of the conflict, he immediately set off in pursuit. Seeing this, Li Jiao gritted her teeth; despite knowing that the Flood Dragon was extremely dangerous to her as well, she followed them from a distance.

"Appropriate." Jing Tingge had also used this word to describe Ji Ping. What was it she had said about the members of the Ji family? "Good-guy faces."

Extracting a soul to scour Hu Ximei’s memories in search of Lian Haiping’s whereabouts—this was the Art of Soul Searching. Once this technique was completed, Hu Ximei’s soul would be instantly shattered, and she would perish forever.

Lu Ping pondered and realized why, in *The Water Margin*, Song Jiang was always attacking prefectures and counties, and always finding excuses to do so. It was certainly to secure provisions. Relying on Liangshan itself, it would be difficult to station so many people for a long period of time.

However, if wielded by a monster like Imu, it would be the most terrifying ability in the world—capable of destroying heaven and earth, with nothing standing in its way.

The green bamboo was tall and dense; though there were only six or seven stalks, they cast a misty, somber shadow over the entire Golden Pavilion. The sunlight was intense, piercing through the gaps around the pavilion and making the space within appear unfathomably deep.

Deep within the cavern, beneath a ten-thousand-foot abyss, lay a massive, yawning rift. It was so deep that its bottom was invisible, as mysterious as if it connected to the depths of hell. Suddenly, from the void of darkness, came a soft sound of surprise, as if the entity were astonished that Lian Haiping had managed to break free from his summons.

Lin Su would not overlook any potential factor that could negatively impact his work, so he did not hesitate to cross this Liu Rongrong off the list.

In an instant, the Qin family members present were shocked, delighted, or surprised; all of them stared at him with looks of utter disbelief.

Wugulun Fei realized he had to re-evaluate the young man before him. He had first taken notice of him due to Bai Xinming’s recommendation, and later, through his account of the battle at Xuzhou Prefecture.

Two pairs of large hands gripped each other tightly in the pavilion by the Qinhuai River; feelings of loyalty, grievances, hot-bloodedness, and heroic spirit were all contained within that grasp, as heavy as the distant Qixia Mountain.

"Just a moment ago, the legal wife found her at the office..." Wang Xiao’ou said, looking as if she were watching a show, vividly retelling everything that had just happened to President Di.

"The bidding for the Gongxue electronic screens has concluded. The person in charge of FING Media, the winning bidder, President Gao, will be here at 9 o'clock. You should take them to the site to see the installation location!" Gongxue readily agreed. After President Di finished speaking, he and Manager Huang left the office.

Li Min kept her head down. At the time, she had been too terrified; her mind had gone completely blank, and she had been unable to react at all.

"Some say I used the plagiarism issue to target her, but that is not the case. Everyone can look back at my Weibo, and they will find that even before I entered this industry and didn't know her, I had always opposed plagiarism. This viewpoint has never changed."

"Brother, this battle is the perfect opportunity. Ji Ling and Yuan Huan can be considered Yuan Shu’s right-hand men. Why don't you take this chance to dispose of them first and then capture Yuan Shu in one fell swoop?" Watching the group of Ji Ling and Yuan Huan gradually disappear at the city gate, Zhao Yun sighed.

Actor Mu truly lived up to his reputation. When others go public with their relationships, their houses at least half-collapse, but when Actor Mu went public, it barely loosened a few roof tiles at most.

"I want to become stronger! I want revenge!" A powerful inner voice cried out; at this moment, Li Yunchen was being controlled by his inner demons.

"You don't even know who Duanmu Lin is? He's a very, very handsome actor!" Guan Miaotong looked at Mo Liu with a look of disdain.

Lin Tianxuan was currently doing nothing but continuously accumulating spiritual energy; over this period, it had reached a terrifying level.

Because, after all, it was a member of the Qian family who had died, and although it wasn't Xiao Wuxie who did it, who could guarantee they wouldn't take their anger out on him? He was his only grandson; any mishap would be a fatal blow to him.

But this proud man was now somewhat embarrassed. Of course, this embarrassment was only deep within his heart; the students around him did not find it awkward at all.

The pressure intensified, accompanied by wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. The terrifying energy exploded, burying Li Yunchen. The blow was so formidable that even a Great Demon could not have withstood it.

Facing the impending battle, unable to stop it or change it, they could only watch as the Immortal Path and the Evil Path clashed, allowing the Hundred Ghost Cave to silently grow stronger and return at a later date.

Mi Dou nodded repeatedly as if it were a serious matter. If such a lovely person wasn't beautiful, what else in the world could be?

Although she had desperately suppressed her cultivation, this strike was likely at the seventh or eighth level of the Profound Mystery Realm, nearing the level of the Non-Action Realm.

The day his original body was killed by Xu Qi, what Wu Po thought was to take a risk and beg his master for a magic treasure, then go and kill that Xu Qingzhi to settle this grudge once and for all.

Did this mean that in this state, Sheng Lan was even more sharp and incisive than she was in her other, normal state?

Yang Huan understood, knowing that Chi Ming was intentionally helping him stay, willing to use such a precious ancient book as bait to lure Song Zhiwen into the trap.

Fan Hongdao felt his heart catch fire instantly and glared at the carriage driver. If this driver secretly ran off with the carriage, what was he, Fan Hongdao, supposed to do?

Duanmu Xi shook her head upon hearing this, looking into Lian Zhengyu’s eyes earnestly, "Thank you." If it weren't for him appearing in time, the baby in her womb might have been in danger.
