Volume 1, Chapter 45: Except for Ning Feifei

When Wei Chen shouted over the public channel earlier, the vast majority of the people in the convoy were already awake. Combined with their lengthy discussion on the public channel just then, anyone who was still asleep had also become fully awake. Therefore, once Chen Yuan issued the order to prepare for departure, the drivers of each vehicle responded one after another.

On the other side, having no time to take proper aim, Ban Fen-zhi suddenly swung his gun butt toward the sharp claw. Striking a solid entity with the butt of his rifle, Ban Fen-zhi dared not take it lightly and immediately crossed his weapon to block Simon's subsequent advancing momentum.

The news that Yin Xu and Chen Ping had found the legitimate grandson of Prince Huai, and that Song Yi had thrust himself into the affair, spread like wildfire. Naturally, the classic showdown between Yin Xu and Pingwu at Xihe Village also spread far and wide across the land as if it had grown wings.

Peng Yue of Daliang was quite unsettled upon hearing the news. Although Guanzhong had nothing whatsoever to do with him, the outcome indirectly affected the State of Liang.

Having just acquired the peerless blade, Wind Trace, he was eager to find someone to test his sword against. Although he had a prior sword pact with Yi Qiunian, true experts were hard to find, so Wind Trace still exchanged a couple of moves with Zhu Tian.

Initially, Bao Bao did not want to go, but Wen Zhixin insisted that he take him out to experience the local customs and culture of Haizhou City.

A massive figure tore through the air and arrived. It was a dragon... To be precise, it was a dragon reduced to a mere skeleton. However, its bones were not the chalky white of normal skeletons, but rather as transparent as crystal.

Wu Dajiang nodded repeatedly as he listened, looking at the blind man with even greater respect than before. At this moment, he probably finally understood why the blind man was so highly valued by his grandfather, Old Man Wu. His grandfather was an eccentric individual to begin with, and the blind man was equally extraordinary; only through mutual appreciation could the two share such a profound friendship.

The bar security guard quickly walked over. In truth, the so-called security guards were simply Bao Bao’s own people—he would never bother hiring any actual security personnel.

Yet Wei Chen seemed unwilling to let go of this opportunity. They had already stayed in Samye City for nearly a week. Even if there were still investment and cooperation projects to discuss, they probably wouldn't last much longer.

"What on earth are you thinking?" San Guo was far from pleased by these remarks and dragged Da Guo over to see the actual results. After seeing them, Da Guo scratched his head, finally understanding San Guo's intention. Refusing to admit his mistake, he stubbornly argued that there was still a possibility of peeping.

Friends share everything they meet, so the abalone went to Zhang Rong. Immediately afterward, Niu Ben, Da Bao, and the others also barged in sniffing around. With so little food and drink to begin with, how could it withstand these gluttons? In no time at all, even the broth in the electric mug was completely cleaned out.

The pitch-black side room. Su Jinyu raised her hand and knocked on the door. After a long while with no movement inside, she softly called out.

Turning off the computer, San Guo went downstairs and saw Si Guo hunched over, fiddling with his mobile phone. He wanted to go over to take a look, but the moment Si Guo saw him approaching, he immediately put the phone away and stopped playing.

"Inseparable? Truly inseparable." Hearing the system prompt and subsequently seeing this system notification, Xu Shao was somewhat surprised mixed with a bitter smile as he shook his head slightly and muttered to himself.

"You have saved me several times, so today I will spare you as well. It is merely a matter of basic morality, nothing else!" She stiffly held her neck up, arguing stubbornly.

"I just happened to pass by here today and didn't come intentionally, so don't get the wrong idea!" Yang Wei argued fiercely and unreasonably. If anyone went along with what he said, wouldn't this old man blow a hole right through the Earth and gaze directly at the United States of America on the other side?

"The Emperor cares for the child. In this concubine's view, neither the Dowager Concubine nor any of the consorts is willing to let a single trace of her bloodline survive. Now that she is in the cold palace, this concubine imagines it won't be long before grim tidings arrive," Xing Nu explained. She knew how the Dowager Concubine felt about progeny...

Fortunately, having a renowned master and powerhouse like Elder Ou accompanying him perhaps made this path a little easier to walk.

Chen Tianyun did not comfort her. He perceived dangerous information in her eyes, so instead of offering comfort, he kept a tight watch on her. No matter what, he would never let Hu Xixi leave him.

"It's just that this rain keeps starting and stopping—will the flood really come?" Peng Hao looked out the window and asked anyway.

"He murdered Daochan, the Taoist master of Wudang, making an enemy of the righteous martial arts world. The Senior cannot possibly be unaware of this, can he?" Leng Jianfeng said somewhat unkindly.

That tattoo pattern of the concentric knot was troublesome. While we were pondering the matter of Cheng Ye and Kou, we couldn't just stop doing business; life still had to go on, and the shop still had to stay open.

In front of the palace stood two stone statues, each over twenty meters tall. The statues were shaped like humanoid creatures with wings on their backs, their heads shrouded inside hoods.

Qin Shuiyue let out a sob. She hadn't cried like this in a very long time. In the past, no matter how Liu Liangqin and Yue Yunyao provoked her, she had never shed a single tear.

"Fortunately Brother Dong happened to run into it! If it had been us bearing the brunt, we'd probably have been skinned alive even if we survived!" Having said that, he also began to curry favor with Dong Zhanyun.

The dragon-shaped light and shadow behind him gradually dimmed, and the familiar power poured into his entire body. The previous sense of weakness instantly vanished, and the golden and silver radiance in his eyes slowly faded. His spiritual focus locked onto the golden blade in his hand—that unbreakable blade was his formidable weapon.

"She is now fighting on the front lines, risking her neck on the battlefield every day with her life hanging by a thread. We might not see her at any moment," Jin Riling said sorrowfully.
