Volume 1, Chapter 41: The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review

Nowadays, what she wore in the Qin residence was mostly outdated clothing from Jiangnan that she had brought with her. The garments were plain and subdued, so that everyone would become firmly convinced that she was unloved.

Grief, fury, and every other emotion surged uncontrollably into Ao Huo’s chest. The rolling flames of his rage seemed on the verge of burning his chest to ashes.

Tang Yanlie grew increasingly terrified. When he realized that he could not break free, he somehow found the courage to raise his fist and smash it toward Lu Chen’s head.

As Lu Chen walked toward the school, he pondered the matter. A few hundred dollars really was rather little; it would not even be enough to buy a bottle of good liquor.

The Windcutter Warrior had originally thought that Shen Feng might go back on his promise to leave the “Ancient Barbarian Furnace” behind once he learned that he would have to kill the Galle Pirates.

After Zhang Yang’s upper body appeared at another location, he watched Gongsun’s successive movements and was deeply shaken by the latter’s strength. Even if Zhang Yang released his shield with all his might, he could never withstand the golden brick for even half a breath. Yet Gongsun had casually released a shield and actually managed to do so. This gave Zhang Yang an entirely new impression of him.

The truth was that some people wagered their youth on a chance at life, while others squandered theirs. Then, after the years passed and their youth was gone, those who had once squandered it could only watch the people who had wagered their youth on life squander the money they had earned.

There was truly no sign of anything unusual. Nangong Xiao knitted his brows. Perhaps the man had been suffering from a grave illness, but he had happened to rush out and die just as Nangong Xiao’s carriage passed by. Could it really have been nothing more than a coincidence?

His chin rested against the crown of her head. Those warm tears continued to fall, landing on her cheek and sliding downward. She tasted their salty bitterness and could not help but freeze.

As Ye Xuan thought about Shen Yun’s affairs, he slowly drifted off to sleep. At daybreak the next morning, Ye Xuan awoke, tidied himself, and strode out of the room. After leaving his residence, he began another busy day.

Liu Zhang realized that he had offended someone he absolutely should not have offended. Ignoring Zhang Dong’s injuries, he turned and fled outside.

“What do you mean?” Xie Ao asked in surprise. It was obvious that something had happened on the Leng family’s side.

Besides, Lin Fan was already cultivating the Dao. What he possessed was the Heavenly Dao’s great gift package, allowing him to comprehend Daoist arts directly from the Creation Jade Disc. Why would he need guidance from Yuwuzi?

The bamboo forest was filled with mechanisms, as well as formations based on the Eight Trigrams and hidden-army techniques. Without guidance, those people would never be able to enter Hundred Flowers Valley.

After Zheng Hao and Yang Shuo’s car had driven away, Lin Yu lowered his head and looked at Wang Linlin in his arms, frowning slightly.

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhou Changcun pushed his wheelchair out from inside. They had not seen each other for some time, and he had completely changed. He had once been dark and thin, but now he was considerably fairer and plumper.

Before Gu Chengyu had even finished speaking, he had already walked in from outside. He was still dressed in a long black robe, but the childishness had vanished from his face, leaving only composure.

After finishing all this, Jiang Feng did not hurry out of the Burning Heaven Qi-Refining Tower. Instead, he sat cross-legged in meditation above the river of lava and began cultivating in seclusion.

“Will Li Zhiming really accept this? What if it provokes a backlash? Wouldn’t that defeat the purpose?” Minister Song of the Strategic Department said with considerable concern.

“Would the young master like some pastries and tea?” the servant asked. Normally, she should have taken the initiative to prepare such things without being instructed, but their young master was a composed man who preferred to do things himself.

“I know. Ever since you were taken away, I searched for you for a long time, but there was no trace of you at all, as though you had vanished into thin air. Where did you go? What exactly happened?” Zhang Yi asked urgently.
