Chapter 35: Her Brother Yan

His voice was flippant and hoarse, as if he'd smoked too much.
"With all the beauties around Lord Ting, this one is only average," he said.
“She does have a good figure, but who knows about her face.”
"Her face is even worse, plain and insipid," came the dismissive reply.
Xu Yu recalled Shen Liangyan’s harsh assessment, worried it might bring trouble upon himself...

After the three finished their discussion, Yang Yu used the Eye of the Sky to carefully survey their surroundings. Once he was certain no one else was near, the Demigod’s expression turned grave. He summoned his multicolored spear, and waves of deep blue-green energy rippled from his body like disturbances across water.

It was also Liu Yuan’s first time aboard such a large wooden ship, the experience novel and exciting. Brimming with curiosity, he eagerly explored the royal vessel.

Of course, standing committee members were selected from among the committee itself, and on average, their age was much higher. In truth, it was these twenty-two standing committee members whose decisions shaped and propelled the nation’s progress and development.

“We’ve been walking for so long—are you hungry? How about we get something to eat together?” Liu Yuan suggested.

“What! His parents were sealed away for ten thousand years and only after that did he come into the world? The ancestors of the Forsaken Clan foresaw this long ago and hid the truth from us on purpose!” Dugu Baitian exclaimed in astonishment.

Officials like Zhang Yu Kuang from the Ministry of Appointments had no knowledge of the events that transpired on the grasslands, and lying always left them feeling uneasy.

Within the city, countless cries of battle rang out. The imperial troops stormed the inner city, closing in to form a siege around the city tower.

At that moment, only one of the other eight arenas had finished its match; the remaining seven were still in the midst of competition. Taishi Ci scanned the field, spotting no notable experts, and went to rest, awaiting the next round.

Oda Nobuko’s fondness for arranging marriages for her revered husband had become well-known, especially since, after the deaths of Takeda Katsuyori of the Four Tiger Cubs and Tokugawa Ieyasu of Mikawa, the lines of Takeda and Tokugawa both fell into the hands of Wang Tianxie’s heirs, earning them fame throughout the land.

Now, within Moonwatch City, Chen Xiao and Mo Ziqi were moving swiftly and decisively, sweeping through the Nangong family’s intricate web. One by one, nails hidden in the shadows were ruthlessly pulled out by these two vibrant youths.

Xu Qigang appeared calm, but after so many years as comrades-in-arms, the others still detected a subtle change in him.

It was hardly fair to blame the villagers for their lack of discernment. After all, Qin Cuifen had always enjoyed an excellent reputation in the surrounding area—she was affable, well-spoken, and knew how to treat people.

The man’s hand was like a withered claw, reaching for Cheng Yang’s shoulder from a distance. His movement was uncanny—one flash, and he was already face-to-face.

Since Wang Xu still could not control the Void Vessel, he continued to appear in the council hall.

“I know your tastes well, Jin,” Luo Zheng said, “but right now, there’s a tricky matter I need your help with.” With that, he quickly explained the situation regarding Suolang Danzhu.

"Red Princess!" Xing Lai cried out, and in an instant, Red Princess transformed into a crimson blade, which he grasped firmly in his hand.

With a sigh, she still hadn't finished dressing, while her brother was already urging her from outside the door.

For Er Dongzan and his companions, this route was intimately familiar. They knew exactly where to rest, where to replenish food and water, and where the best wine could be found—it was all second nature.

“It’s not that I won’t take her,” Yao Xinluo laughed, “she just refuses to leave home, wanting to stay and look after her younger brother.”

Tang Miaoyu’s parents stood right beside her. When Liu Siyang approached to speak with Tang Miaoyu, her parents immediately took notice.

The slash of the Circular Cleave: Flying Sickle Blade appeared to be a single attack, but with each spiral, the energy within surged out as a separate blow—hundreds of strikes delivered in the blink of an eye.
