Chapter 56: Third Master Doesn’t Need You Exclusively

Xu Yu could not admit it.

“What did Jing Li offer you?” Shen Liangyan sneered. “Did he give you money? Xu Yu, what else do you care about besides money?”

It felt as if his face had been slapped twice, burning painfully—and by the very patron he had spent two years with.

Xu Yu felt like an actor on stage, forced to greet Shen Liangyan with a smile.

...

The Zodiac showed no reaction at all, as if the table crashing down from above did not exist. Only Gemini suddenly looked up, a strange gleam flashing in his eyes. The table, crafted from composite materials, instantly shattered into fragments.

Just now, Lin Xiao had carried the corpse to the Li family to accuse him of murder and cover-up. If he weren’t the constable, and somewhat connected to Li Yi, he would long since have been dragged to court.

The burly men seemed not yet satisfied; they kicked the two to the ground, and before they could cry out their innocence, sticks and fists rained down on them.

Isar threw a savage punch straight at Vyezak’s chest. Dense dark energy instantly condensed into a shield before Vyezak, and with a flick of his wrist, the energy morphed into a long spear.

“Old hag—” Zhao Ming was about to curse, then abruptly changed his expression, responding with a cheeky grin.

Liu Chong was held in solitary confinement. Before Shen Suian arrived, Duan Cong had already escorted him to the interrogation room and locked him inside.

Some men, while letting companions help reset their bones, grinned broadly at their recent adversaries, flashing big white teeth.

She went to bed early and woke up early, too. Not seeing Bai Menghan in the morning, she went downstairs to pester Xue Fang and Zheng Yan.

The air was silently torn apart—the greatest feature of the Ghost Stab skill was its soundlessness, making it practically a divine technique under such circumstances.

Momo smiled softly, knowing that her young master only spoke harshly because he worried she would be looked down upon by others.

Yet, for all the guardian beasts’ power, faced with overwhelming numbers, their might seemed less intimidating. So, the few Doomsday Beasts that entered the Guardian Hall launched a joint assault on Erha.

Seeing Qiu Jihan, Tong’er hurried out, but kept her mouth tightly shut, afraid that if she spoke, she would ask about her father and give this fellow an opening.

If only she could get along peacefully with Zhou Xinyi, that would be the best outcome. But she knew Gao Fei would never let her have any contact with Zhou Xinyi, so she dared not try to get close. If she really angered Gao Fei, even their current relationship would be impossible to maintain.

The receptionist, seeing this, placed the gift box in the center of the red-carpeted aisle, feeling inexplicably nervous, only hoping it wasn’t a prank from that man.

The Star Soul Sect, of course, couldn’t fully control such a vast territory. So, their approach was to demand that the sects within the Star Soul Empire pay a portion of their resources each year—essentially a protection fee.

Witnessing this, Mo Fan’s eyes widened in disbelief. The creature’s body, barely a foot long mere hours ago, had grown so much after just two more hours, and the chilling aura it exuded now even made him uneasy.

I saw Xiao Shiyilang’s eyes swollen and red. He kept rubbing them, clearly uncomfortable, with tears still streaming from the corners.

As she walked, Mo Yun’er’s thoughts drifted inexplicably to Mo Fan. She became absent-minded, wandering off all on her own, not even noticing she’d fallen behind. The disciples around her seemed so intent on searching for the Wolf King that none noticed Mo Yun’er slipping away.

Earlier, the assailant’s surprise attack had nearly killed Qin Hao, then vanished without a trace, as if fleeing far away and abandoning the attempt on Qin Hao’s life.
