Chapter 36: Registration

A faint gleam appeared in Feng Xu’s eyes. Now that Lu Zhengqi had merely used a minor trick, everyone was glaring at him with fierce suspicion, believing he had tampered with the turbine engine. Indeed, he had manipulated the airflow of the force, merely adjusting a few parameters, which could certainly cause such an engine accident. Yet it would not have caused...

“You’re right. What I need now is to be alone with Mingyu. Here, she would only stay in the palace, refusing to meet me,” Ye Zhen whispered.

“It’s definitely true,” Chong Jing insisted, biting the words. At this moment, even a flawed argument had to be declared as the truth.

“It’s nothing… just casual conversation.” Gu Xinyan, knowing that Gu Ying and Zhuge Yin were at odds, found nothing unusual about Gu Ying’s inquiry.

Unable to win in a fight, and as a proud disciple of the Dan Sect from Jade Void Palace, she could easily identify any poison.

“Mother, what’s wrong?” Lu Xiangzhi noticed something off in Pei’s tone and lowered his voice to ask.

“My elder brother… he only hopes the islanders will no longer be harmed,” Zhao Tianji quietly replied.

He knew that none of them needed to chase after her, for downstairs, someone was waiting—someone she ought to stay with.

Zhuang Shurong, her thoughts interrupted, frowned in displeasure, adjusting her glasses as she responded.

What surprised them was the sudden intervention of Elder Lei and his group; their appearance, however, helped them accomplish their goals.

Blood Fiend Squad of the Green Gang? Ling Tian had heard of them from Elder Zhao! The squad was founded by Elder Feng Zhengrong, and every member was an extraordinary figure.

“Do you take assassination contracts?” As she spoke, a cold glint flickered in Shu Xue’s eyes, sending a chill through the group.

“Xuerou is here, too,” Yang Ke said, smiling at Qi Xuerou. She hadn’t met Qi Xuerou often, but was fond of the girl.

Maintaining a safe distance from the monsters, careful not to enter their hunting range, they awaited Shi Luoye’s action.

With a push and pull at a speed imperceptible to the eye, a cracking sound echoed as Zhang Kui’s entire arm was dislocated.

Escorted by seven or eight vehicles, Fourth Master’s team returned to Paradise. Chen Wei was absent, having already found an excuse to go to the hospital today. Thus, Fourth Master had no intention of calling him.

Lu Yuexie hadn’t expected her application to proceed so smoothly. On the way back, she encountered the same staff member from earlier, who seemed to be in a hurry.

“Honey, what’s wrong? Aren’t they your friends?” Lin Min found Kong Lixin’s behavior odd; his face, moments ago smiling, had suddenly turned grim.

Mu Yu glanced around. Though he didn’t know where he was, being able to rest in such a stone chamber meant he’d been rescued and was in no immediate danger.

Hearing his mother scold Ling Xuewei, Long Moxuan could not bear it. Five years ago, Xuewei had left home to protect the family, enduring hardship abroad—who could imagine what she’d been through?

When Mo Xiuchen returned with sanitary pads, Wen Ran had just finished hanging clothes, her hands still wet.

“With so many elixirs now, and our fifth brother able to refine them, the Nalan family’s plan to use pills against us will likely fail,” Sima Youqi remarked.

Zhu Houwei immediately said, “Land?” “Land?” Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao echoed in astonishment.

By now, they had regained their senses, realizing Jiang Chen intended to kill them; no one would plead for them, nor would anyone object.

At the public washbasin, a man in a black shirt bent over washing his hands, his lowered face reflected in the mirror on the wall.
