Chapter 56: Unwilling to See Her

Yin Jiaojiao quickly arrived at the North City Military Camp, but entering was not smooth.

Su Zhengqing scratched his head uneasily. "The Prince says this is not a place for Your Highness the Princess. No matter what the matter is, we can discuss it later back at the relay station."

"I have important matters to discuss with him."

"The Prince says... ahem." Su Zhengqing looked even more uneasy. "You can tell this general, and I will relay the message on your behalf."

"Forget it, you can relay it too." Yin Jiaojiao earnestly gave a rough outline of today's events, just as she reached the point where "that ironware shop possesses a unique secret technique that can greatly enhance the quality of Dirong weaponry, yet among their workers, there is a person who is..." she stuttered to a halt.

Could she really say that one of their workers was from Dirong......

Having passed these eighty-one steps, entered that door, offered incense, paid respects to Lord Guan, and sworn an oath with blood, one henceforth becomes a core member of the society.

Carefully investigating the remains of the black-armored general alongside Ah Xia, she and I indeed discovered some eerie anomalies.

Tou Ren wore a smile on his face, but upon turning back, he saw Cao Si, Shang Qing, and the others all drawing their weapons and practicing sword dances toward the cave entrance they had just come from.

Still without turning to look at the princess, I knew that the dashing remark I had just uttered had struck right at the chord of her heart, setting off an indescribable chemical reaction deep within her soul.

Immediately, standing near the edge of the pit wall and witnessing the spectacle of numerous purple comets streaking down, Chunyu gradually widened her eyes and muttered softly.

"Top Scholar Lin, are you truly planning to take up your post here?" Lord Jiang stretched out his neck and laughed softly.

"It's fine! Ah Yang! Just pay him back one!" Seeing Yang Yangyang's strange expression, Yang Baitao hurriedly offered words of comfort.

Above this grand hall, there was a single seat. To begin with, the mere presence of this seat was not an unusual thing, but now, why did the more one looked at that seat, the more jarringly wrong it seemed?

While unable to help admiring the true and fiery nature of Kawagarbo, one could not help but feel a heartfelt and stirring sense of awe at the unwavering loyalty and martial valor of Meicumu, who followed him to the end.

Ye Shanghan had already tried; the peculiar poison hidden within Ye Chunqing's body could be seen through the fluoroscopy of his left middle finger, yet for a moment, he was unable to analyze the constituent parts of the strange poison.

Although the puppet swordsman could only manifest three-tenths of its sword intent, it was still countless times stronger than the previous twelve wind masters.

As it turned out, the fault had always been his. As it turned out, Qingmo simply did not want to become his burden, nor a hindrance, and even less did she want him to accept her already shattered self.

After changing into a pitch-black night-walking outfit, Chu Tian, along with Qingqing and Yi Ning, approached the Han family estate from the air.

A strong sense of curiosity welled up in Tian Tian's heart. Following behind the two young men who had stripped off their equipment, she wanted to understand what exactly was going on. Her heart told her that this was the legendary highest form of mecha, whereas what she was currently crafting was merely the rudimentary form of a mecha.

Facing the suddenly berserk Nine-Tailed Cat Demon, a look of solemn gravity instantly erupted in Duan Chen's eyes. What he feared most was a suddenly maddened Nine-Tailed Cat Demon; after all, the threat posed by the Nine-Tailed Cat Demon remained enormous.

"Vicious!" A look of astonishment flashed across Duan Chen's eyes. The Primeval Explosion was truly ruthless; in this brief clash, he had already fallen slightly into the disadvantageous position.

Outside the cave, the Great Elder, struck by the black-purple light of the Five Poisons Pearl, struggled to climb up from the ground. At this moment, across its snow-white fur, a charred wound shockingly oozed black blood. It appeared that the Great Elder had likewise been afflicted by the potent poison of the Five Poisons Pearl, and its injuries were by no means light.

Drops of foul-smelling blood fell from above, dripping onto Fan Yan's head as if truly existing, making his scalp tingle.

The jade was an item intimately kept by Li Ansheng and certainly not cheap. To pocket it would feel rather embarrassing, and Zhaoxi held no particular desires for such things. She merely kept it temporarily; once she managed to "sleep" with Li Ansheng, returning it to him then would not be too late.

Yesterday, he had insisted on teaching her martial arts practice and subjected her to physical training first, tossing her about all night. To this day, her lower back and bones still ached.

The next day, when Xiao Yu woke up, Ji Xuan had already left, leaving a note for her on the bedside table saying he had gone to buy breakfast.

"Teacher doesn't eat spicy food; I heard it from Teacher Lin next door." Ji Yu looked triumphantly at Xiao Yu and answered with a smile.

What brought a trace of ease to his heart, however, was that he sensed no threat emanating from the old man, which indicated that his own strength was now on par with the old man's.

No matter what scheme Ji Lan was plotting, she was bound to make this trip. Even if it cost her her life, she still had to walk this path.

Of course, at this moment, none of them knew that all this money would become the startup capital for Xiao Yu's life outside.

Seeing the numerous items Qian Er had purchased, the driver was somewhat bewildered. Renting this car for five thousand yuan a day, not including his wages, just to make a single trip to the Xianyang Plain?

Zhaoxi tugged at the quilt, tucking his long legs inside and pressing every corner snugly beneath them, then unfolded two other duvets, preparing to lay them across the bed.

The guests at the banquet arrived one after another. When Ye Chu stepped into the hall, the murmurs of conversation in the air seemed to freeze for a moment before returning to normal.

Seeing that the Thunderbirds were about to wipe them all out in one sweep, Chongyun wore a resolute expression on his face. He jerked his hand free from Xingqiu's grasp, raised both hands, and fiercely smashed them downward toward the front.

To summarize this month's alliance tasks, Rule opened a meeting in the guild territory.

"Really, if you don't believe me, ask Luoyu. Luoyu, right?" Venti said while winking and making faces at Luoyu.

"Don't worry, I've already arranged everything. Once we get on the vehicle later, we'll go take a look together." Seeing that it was almost noon, Yao Jing glanced at the sky and nodded in agreement.

It told the tale of the founding of New Mondstadt. Although Luoyu knew a few things about it, she still watched it with great relish. Afterward, she still harbored some doubts in her heart: Was the Anemo Archon really this dedicated? Didn't he just slack off all day long?

With so many people here failing to unearth anything good, the cousin-in-law casually grabbed a piece of Imperial Green jade—such incredible luck was simply defying the heavens.

Besides, Traditional Chinese Medicine values looking, listening, inquiring, and feeling the pulse; relying on hearsay only serves to blind one's own eyes. It is far better to know nothing at all, making it easier to settle one's mind and make a judgment.

"By the way, Lin Shuang, you can choose to remain with the company. The Cyborg Project will not continue, but the company can pay your salary as usual. After all, a contract was signed." Murong Qing looked at Lin Shuang and said.

Listen to that, what kind of talk was that! Qin Fengyi immediately declared, "Father-in-law can rest assured; I am about to become a father right before your eyes, and I won't be dying anytime soon." Knowing that his father-in-law was only worrying about him, yet accustomed to his father-in-law's usual stern exterior and warm interior, Qin Fengyi took it in stride.

Gradually, that head appeared along with its body. This person possessed white hair and a face bearing faint wrinkles. A thin barrier of spiritual energy enveloped his body three feet away. Once it dissipated, Hai Chenyang looked back at the black hole. He had thought it would be extremely perilous, but it seemed that a dormant black hole was quite safe.

Yet at this very moment, Chen Qi suddenly let out a long whistle that stirred the heavenly river, erupting with a fierce momentum. His body exploded violently, his footsteps stamped heavily upon the earth, and all the laws of force contained within his mind merged into his physical form.
