Volume One, Chapter 44: Wu the Mad Dog

Setting a trap?

Shen Ji was momentarily stunned, then quickly caught on.

“So you mean that I’m in cahoots with this person—that the Lan Residence incident was a premeditated scheme we concocted together to swindle money, right?”

Shen Ji pointed at Wu Sui and then looked at Xu Wan with a smile.

Her imagination was quite vivid!

Though, she did seem to look down on me a bit.

If I had wanted to set a trap for Meng Yi, it wouldn’t have been so simple.

Every detail was checked thoroughly. If it weren’t for Xu Chengyu hastily suppressing his breath and entering a state of internal cyclical respiration—appearing almost like a comatose patient—Jinzun would have seen through it.

Yan Zi finally caught her breath and stopped vomiting. She dragged out her words, “Switch bodies? How could we possibly do that?” Doctor Ciren pleaded with her. Yan Zi waved her hand and added, “I don’t understand, I don’t know.” Then, steeling herself, she urged everyone to leave quickly and not waste any more time.

Unless their mentors had passed through the Thunder Tribulation or died of old age, only then could they regain their freedom.

After stepping out of the military camp, Men Qing returned directly to the space. There wasn’t much to prepare since everything they needed was already there. He just needed to notify everyone.

Seeing the pitiful state of Bu Shen and Hei Zi, everyone finally understood why their illness was considered good news.

Yu Hongren shook his head. “I don’t know. Old Chen sent someone to inform me.” After saying that, he turned and walked away.

The Night Demon, accompanied by Earth Cat, swiftly eliminated SK. Even when teleporting down to assist Rubick, it was like a buy-one-get-one-free bonus. Then they roamed the mid lane.

“According to the Genesis Alliance intelligence, especially his performance in the Martial God Territory where he fought without using any artifacts, he was able to battle at the pinnacle of the Sage Realm. He could withstand both soul and physical attacks and even had the strength to kill opponents at the Sage Realm’s peak,” said Meteor Supreme.

Now, all the nobles of the capital only knew that today, Mo Yuchen and Yao Zhong were engaged in a contest.

Could it be that today, Father Zhuang suddenly triggered some nerve, becoming overly excited?

This client was also referred by other collaborators, knowing they had grain and offering a quite “reasonable” price, even agreeing to prepayment. As for why so much grain was needed, she hadn’t inquired.

Unless she abandoned Ning Cuier and Bei Mingyun and fled alone, she would likely have to stay here.

“Run? Do you think you can escape? Chase them!” A dozen or so pursuers, seeing that the descendants of the old clan chief numbered only in the teens, laughed.

But I didn’t want to join the conversation; I just fiddled with my food and continued eating calmly.

Those who killed her family were still alive and well. Why should she live in silence and restraint?

Those things that had troubled him for eighteen years suddenly became fragile, then shattered completely.

“Y-yes, alright, boss. Rest assured, I will make sure you’re satisfied,” Manager Wang said, bowing as if the person on the other end of the line was right in front of him.

At the same time, the Jin family secretly resolved to keep this matter buried, never revealing a word to anyone.

At a seaside resort abroad, Xiao Yi was busy grilling barbecue while Mu Ran helped. Three children ran and played around, while their parents lounged leisurely in deck chairs.

After a satisfying meal, Zhuge Yinglong sat back, patted his belly, and let out a contented burp. Life is meant to be enjoyed to the fullest; days like these were to be savored.

The first level was twenty meters high. Even if the whitefish continued to grow, this height would suffice for the time being.

“Not bad. Currently, Gong Nanxing, the ‘Fateful Swordsman,’ is the brightest star among the younger generation. Do I have any other choice?” Helian Bingjing said.
