Chapter 146: Clarity

Mu Chengyao’s deep, piercing gaze fixed directly on her, making Lu Yalan turn her head away with a trace of awkwardness as she muttered, "We are leaving soon and have no capacity to meddle in other people's affairs. Still, judging by her attire, her family is certainly well-off and treats her quite well. A household like that should be easy to inquire about."

After being pushed away by Mu Chengyao, the woman collapsed to the ground, sobbing pitifully and looking remarkably docile. Although her clothes were stained with quite a bit of mud, the fine fabric was still evident. Furthermore, when they saw her in the afternoon, she had been neatly dressed with a rosy complexion, clearly well-cared for by someone.

Wealthy, of good moral standing, and possessing a mad daughter, sister, or wife... a family matching this description shouldn't be too difficult to trace down.

In Mu Chengyao’s deep voice, there was an unmistakable hint of indulgence.

"I must say, if you sit here with me, people are going to misunderstand," Xu Yi said, feeling somewhat troubled. He had no wish to attract attention, but sitting next to Ni Xuan would inevitably draw the gaze of many.

Just as they reached the entrance of the village, they spotted an elderly couple running toward them. Judging by their appearance, they seemed to be in their fifties. They were Lin Chuchu’s mother and father.

Even though Man Jiangtang felt deeply aggrieved and furious, he was no fool. Realizing that Xu Yi likely possessed some formidable capability, he desperately forced himself to exercise restraint. With an unsightly expression, he raised his cup of fruit tea, only to put it back down on the table without taking a single sip.

Because of this, whenever the Donglin Faction was mentioned, cold sweat broke out across everyone's foreheads once again. Especially those imperial scholars and officials who had once been examined by invigilators from the Donglin Faction were trembling with fright.

"It was a martial cultivation organization co-opted by the imperial authority during the Kang Dynasty. The organization perished over two hundred years ago, yet who could have imagined that this imperial edict would be placed inside a fateful red coffin," Gu Tianqi said.

As soon as Wang Jingang finished his curses, with a sharp *rip*, he tore open Lin Chuchu’s shirt, exposing a vast expanse of her snow-white skin to the air.

"If you lose, you must call me Grandfather three times, kneel down, and kowtow to apologize!" Li Hong sneered coldly.

As the company's music director, Yue Peng possessed profound attainments in music. Ordinarily, unless a first-tier or super-first-tier singer was recording, he would never show up.

Ye Ling and Tang Mianmian went to the restroom to wash their hands first, while Ning Rong put down her notebook and walked directly over to sit on the chair beside the table. Once the other two returned, the four of them were reunited once again.

The authority of the World Government is derived from the top-down bestowal of the Celestial Dragons, rather than the bottom-up authorization of the member states. Therefore, the status of the member states... in short, whenever the Five Elders and the World Government are willing to grant them status, they manage to retain some measure of it.

Yet Luo Kun, driven by anger and embarrassment, swung his right hand down and slapped the top of the Xuan clan man's head.

It felt as though a koala was clinging tightly to her back, pressing against her so securely that she couldn't move, making her unbearably hot.

The Geiger counter in his pocket was going wild with a frantic *beep-beep-beep*, the continuous stream of warning tones almost merging into a single persistent screech. Ke Lan didn't even need to look to know that the number flashing on the screen right now must be terrifyingly high... If he somehow managed to survive and return this time, he would probably have to soak in a medical pod for ten days half a month.

As long as there are sufficient resources and produce across the starry sea, humanity will grow larger and stronger, ultimately conquering the entire starry sea, ruling the whole world, and becoming a truly powerful race in the truest sense of the word.

Shuyuan crouched down, scooped up a handful of sandy soil, and examined it closely. Then she moved to a few other spots and inspected the earth in the same manner.

"Grandpa, if we are truly talking about who has suffered grievances, my Third Brother has it far worse than my Third Sister-in-law," Shuyuan stated bluntly.

Hundreds of miles away from Gourd Valley, Dugu Ming sat inside a carriage while the driver upfront urged the horses onward at a leisurely and unhurried pace, showing not a shred of haste.

Within this region, there were not only the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty led by Li Jing, but also the local commoners.

Jiang Ruannuan went to work part-time at that coffee shop; it truly belonged to Xu Yeju, almost beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Yet he found that their spiritual power had completely dissipated. He tried several more in succession to no avail, and thus said with profound indignation.
