Chapter 113: Restraint

Everyone in the Lu family knew that the second young mistress was inherently stubborn, and there was a story behind it.

Lu Yalan was born motherless and was raised almost entirely under the care of Jian Wenying. No matter what Jian Wenying felt inside, she never gave others any cause for gossip in her outward behavior. In earlier years, Lu Yalan called Jian Wenying “Mother” just as Lu Yazhu did; deep down, she truly believed Jian Wenying was her real mother.

As she grew older and more aware, Lu Yalan realized that Jian Wenying treated her and Lu Yazhu very differently behind closed doors. Jian Wenying was icy and detached toward her, but radiant and affectionate toward Lu Yazhu. When Lu Yazhu bullied her, Jian Wenying would turn a blind eye, and if the situation escalated, she would even shift the blame onto Lu Yalan.

After enduring such treatment repeatedly, Lu Yalan gradually lost any feeling of closeness toward Jian Wenying. After the flute that Lu Shibang had given her was destroyed by Jian Wenying,

After reporting to the police, Su Xin felt utterly helpless and called her mother, Zhou Biyu.

If that was not the case, then the question arose: if the cultivators of the Six Paths Sect currently in Blue Crystal City were not all of his disciples, or only a portion of them, then how many disciples at the Return to Origin stage did the Six Paths Sect really have?

Master Zheng Tai was horrified. The Azure Sword had accompanied him for more than five hundred years, like an extension of his own arm, but this was the first time it had lost contact with him.

This was clearly the symptom of poisoning, with the toxic gas affecting the heart. Now, Laura’s life was hanging by a thread.

Carrying a mind full of confusion, he followed her back to the main hall. By then, the Xuan Shui Guards had successfully killed the attackers who ambushed him, and were dragging several corpses outside, waiting.

If Chu Feng had the ability to act at this moment, he might have dealt a heavy blow to Ru Ju, but unfortunately, he had no capacity to move. His efforts now were merely to buy time.

Chu Feng nodded. The cold ice in the pool was now almost gone, but it should still be enough to block the blood energy for a while longer.

“Hmph, you come here to find us and still don’t know who I am?” The sinister laugh sounded twice.

Lin Fan flashed and appeared beside the corpse of King Cam, immediately reaching out to scoop up the object it had vomited out. His gaze shifted as he took in the current situation, a smile flickering in his eyes. At this moment, these few thousand demon clansmen were simply insignificant. Under such overwhelming numbers, they were utterly useless.

Moreover, judging from the current development of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace within the Qiongshuo faction, there had been no real gains. Supporting Qingliujian had already consumed considerable effort, and in direct confrontations with other forces, they had lost many personnel, including experts.

After being transported to the capital, the price was still so low that it was no longer a matter of not making money—it was outright losing money.

If Hua Mulan were to ask Zhao Junsheng at this time, he would certainly tell her that the cavalry from Huaishu Town always ran, while his troops moved at a walk. Running involved a leap, causing the horse’s center of gravity to rise and fall, consuming more energy than maintaining a steady horizontal gait.

Just now, he saw Can Yang running about in a panic and knew something was wrong. Now that Xue Wanshan was acting madly, it must mean Xue Xun was in trouble.

The head of the Nangong family had gone to the training ground and had not yet returned. For now, only Nangong Heng was in charge and had specially invited them to a banquet.

Upon hearing this, all the eunuchs present knelt down, bowing their heads and remaining silent.

They continued eating. Tang Yurou, having been roasted all day, was severely dehydrated and drank a great deal of tea.

The man chuckled and flipped his hand to reveal a large, starry stone of a beautiful yellow hue.

The owner nearly choked. His carefully crafted sincere words had not yet been spoken.

The clerk handling the check-in was very courteous. After a few questions from Bu Xu, it turned out that a leader from the Jade Association had made a call, squeezing out a spare VIP room.

Master Xu had witnessed Bu Xu’s strength a few days ago: he easily lifted a bag of grain weighing eighty jin with one hand. So now, he spoke up to remind him.

Originally, weapons formed from these spatial fragments could still inflict some wounds on Yang Lin. But as Yang Lin’s physical limits kept being surpassed, these weapons could no longer leave any marks upon striking him.
