Chapter 145: Planning (Combined)
What a rather intriguing response...
However, Pei Xiunian could also understand the Empress Dowager's concerns.
To have already utilized the Jade Cicada Palace and misled the imperial court into planning a strike against it was a win-win scenario that the Yaoguang Sect would naturally be thrilled to see.
Yet, not only did he refuse to let the mistake slide and refrain from kicking them while they were down, but he actually intended to lend them a helping hand—such a move was utterly baffling.
Little Xiaoqi, sitting obediently by Pei Xiunian's side...
Yan Qingyin closed the door and leaned against it, lost in thought for a moment. There was no way to slip out today; she needed to put on a comfortable set of clothes, otherwise how could she get any work done?
A slight smile played at the corners of Lin Ruoqing's lips. Watching Lu Wuhai act spoiled and coax Chen Mingming into driving her right to the entrance of the company before she was willing to leave, she became even more convinced that Lu Wuhai was essentially a big, fierce hound, though more often than not, he was just a regular dog—the Husky kind.
Seeing that not a single one of the three full squads from the Wolf Warrior Legion had been matched into this game, Luo Zhan felt it was somewhat unusual.
Thinking it was a scam text message, she glanced at it and dismissed it, only to slowly take it out again. Competition prize money?
Faced with this, Lin Ruoqing secretly captured a photo with her phone. Perhaps this could also serve as evidence of how Liu Jianhua framed her parents back then?
I also felt pity for the child, so I picked him up. I noticed sores and scars on the child's body, but when I blew on them, the scars vanished completely. The child's illness was entirely cured as well. I even breastfed the child. Right then, a brilliant idea flashed through my mind.
Fortunately, as this game had progressed to this point, everyone had already learned to follow Luo Zhan's commands implicitly.
Having rested for less than an hour, the door to the room suddenly knocked. Although Jiang Feng was in the game at the moment, he was constantly paying attention to the real world.
The moment Chu He's foot touched the ground, he immediately face-planted, his handsome face making intimate contact with the floor.
At that exact moment, Jian Chen seemed to sense something, his expression shifting slightly. He perceived that the surge of heat inside Chu He's room had vanished—obviously, the attempt had failed.
As for abilities, Qin Qing had none, but she came equipped with her own personal bad-luck constitution, capable of stumbling into every imaginable misfortune.
If the clan chieftain's son hadn't been caught eight times in the county town for vice-related activities, making him known to every single officer in the county police station, they might have actually believed it.
All the shockwaves from the explosion were personally blocked by Fleurdelis, preventing Yumu from being blown away during the duel.
Ning Meng had never heard of such an evil organization, but judging purely by the name, she could readily guess.
Compared to the enthusiastic yet somewhat immature Guizhong, Guili, acting as the older sister, obviously thought things through much more thoroughly.
Su Su glanced at Yuan'er behind her, only to find Yuan'er wearing a thoroughly shipping expression—that look was simply too vivid to describe.
Chen Star had no idea what the two of them were plotting at the moment, so he could only let water be met with earth and soldiers with shields.
Those soldiers kept their gazes fixed straight ahead; even upon seeing the sovereign approach, they merely offered a slight bow before returning to their cold, statue-like expressions.
He still had a multitude of things to do, having been delayed by his previous battle against the Tyrant Body of the Heavens, and now he needed to seize the time to gather intelligence.
For instance, when they boarded the airship heading for Beast King Mountain, after piercing through the lightning-shrouded dark clouds, they entered a ethereal, misty realm where all the cultivators clearly witnessed a pair of unimaginably gigantic eyes.
Once he eliminated the Chu brothers and ascended the throne, the entire Sword Cloud Dynasty would belong to him. Casualties could be addressed afterward by issuing decrees to let the realm recover and rest.
The manager immediately panicked on the side, thinking to himself that if the police were called now, there was no telling whose side they would end up taking. The old master was already bleeding—would those people from the police station still help them?
Perhaps the death of the Ancient One was not part of Thanos's plan, but rather an unexpected renunciation of her own life. It was a complete pleasant surprise; Thanos had originally prepared to engage in a fierce battle with Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One to seize the Time Stone, but in the end, having only Doctor Strange without the Supreme Sorcerer made things all the easier for him.
