Volume 1, Chapter 28: You Scoundrel

Just after hanging up with Xu Feiyan, Huang Yanchen called back.

"Young Master, I have met with Zheng Shaojie."

"He wants me to kill you alongside the Azure Dragon."

As soon as the call connected, Huang Yanchen reported everything that had just transpired to Chu Lingtian. Chu Lingtian was not the least bit surprised.

"He wouldn't dare act recklessly," Chu Lingtian said with certainty. "If things escalated and the Zheng family were pushed into the spotlight, it would inevitably damage Zheng Yuanzheng's political career."

"Ah? Young Master, you knew about that?" Huang Yanchen was incredibly surprised.

"I’m not a caveman; I use the internet and play on my phone too, you know," Chu Lingtian rolled his eyes.

Looking at the contract, Wang Genji looked up at the moon, as if what hung in the night sky was not a celestial body, but a beacon destined to illuminate his life.

Qing Yue Wang: "..." Hearing such words, she didn't even know how to respond; you don't even know my name, Your Highness.

Before he could sort through his thoughts, those "people" were clamoring for Wang Yuxian to help them with matters. Everyone spoke at once, creating a chaotic din that made it impossible to discern anything. It was deafening.

That trust had long since vanished; all that remained was profound disappointment. How could she possibly believe his words now?

Lu Wei was dragged away by Nalan Yanran, while Xiao Yu, wanting to pursue them, was held back by Yun Yan.

Everyone now knew that Yin Ruoyu didn't understand pharmacology at all, yet she stubbornly clung to her position.

Hearing these words from Qin Luo and feeling the overwhelming, world-dominating aura emanating from him, Chen Qingshan was certain that Qin Luo must come from a top-tier Huaxia family or a hidden sect; otherwise, he could not possess such a powerful presence.

After they had all left, she hopped down leisurely, acting as if nothing had happened and as if she hadn't taken these matters to heart.

After waiting for a full hour at the back door, Qian Beibei finally saw Zhang Qing'ah and her servant arrive.

"What should we do?" Aoba Pa looked at Jialie Bi with a blank expression, hoping for some guidance.

Zheng Cripple agreed without hesitation, pulling out a check and handing it to Chen Yan for him to sign.

Once Zhou Cang received the order, Xiao Mo set off with his soldiers. Having had experience in jungle warfare several times, they encountered no danger along the way.

"A military camp? Yes! That's what it is!" Xiao Mo was delighted. This wasn't a bandit's lair, but a camp of roving marauders.

Fortunately, the two prison guards behind him were prepared; they grabbed him by both arms and pinned him to the table.

"With the current speed of technological development, smart devices will appear before long. We must position ourselves in the market now," Chen Yan explained.

Zhuiyue also stood up and bowed to Chen Yi. The two left their items on the stone table and departed after expressing their gratitude repeatedly.

I waved my hand at Zhou Kefei. Although it hurt a bit, I had no intention of dismounting. Even if it was Tang Jinyu’s scheme, given that Liao Qinghe and Tang Zhenyuan were present, their audacity to mock me like this clearly showed they thought I was easy to bully.

He read the "Simp Diary" of Shangguan Feiyang; even Feiyang and Shuangmian Gui would want to hold a "Peach Garden Oath" after reading it.

A realm that existed long ago—though not as powerful as the Celestial Realm—this independent interface still had its own unique rules.

"The Desolate Kingdom..." Qu Yi let out a long sigh. It was a sigh of frustration, anger, and helplessness regarding his own fate, as well as his complicated feelings about handing over the vanguard town.

Moreover... watching Kaisa flying in front, Lin Ai was speechless. She was the controller of the machine life form network! Was there really no issue with her flying in the sky in broad daylight?

Just like when Li Fangcheng sold "Troublemaker" and "Lianliankan" to Sega, there was an exclusive clause: without the permission of Miracle Age, the copyright could not be transferred or resold to any third party.

Zhang Ruoxuan felt a strange emotion. Those clothes were embroidered stitch by stitch by her own hands, at the same level of care as the undergarments she made for herself. Besides her father, only her future husband would ever be allowed to see them.

If things dragged on too long and the industrial giants reacted, there might not be a chance left for the White Bear side. These tycoons were experts at "cultivating land" and had the patience to invest for years or even decades to create returns, so their bids would certainly be much higher than those of the financial moguls.

Fatty Yang found an excuse to go to the sofa in the outer room of the private box to sober up. A series of urgent knocks sounded, and the door was pushed open. The boss of Light & Shadow Media ran in, covered in sweat, just in time to see Fatty Yang looking at him with bleary, drunken eyes.

Because, between them, there was not only love but also an attraction of the Dao; this was the key to keeping the love between Xu Wuyou and Bai Ling fresh.

"Don't worry, the communication hasn't been cut. I will maintain contact between the surface and the base, and I can assist with command when the time comes." Seeing Hai Qi still hesitant, Ladeson became anxious.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye. Xin City was very close to the West Shuo Mountain, a holy land for demon hunting, so it had always been a popular destination for disciples of the immortal sects. If one was attentive, one could still hear many things.

If one were to be swarmed by a mob, there would truly be nowhere to plead for reason. As far as Shen Shi knew, the demons and monsters, with the exception of a few "chuunibyou" types, were genuinely intelligent.

"What are you staring at? It's your turn." Someone nudged Jian He's sword. Jian He smiled and stepped forward. Strangely, after waiting for a long time, the mirror surface showed no reaction.

"Li, it was all due to my negligence back then that you were deceived by John." Every time the incident from years ago was mentioned, Feng Lingzheng almost always felt immense guilt.

"Then calling you a future sister-in-law is fine, right? You'll be marrying my second brother sooner or later anyway." There was not a hint of insincerity on Feng Yan's face.

"Without an imperial decree, he dares to lead troops into the palace? Is he trying to revolt?" Shaking off Qing'er's arm, Shen Ningxuan said with a dark expression, trembling with rage.

No logo, no title, no contact information; flipping it back and forth, there were only those seven characters. This person was truly bizarre. Who would print a business card like this?

Wan Ruo's voice was cold and low, but to Shen Ningxue, it sounded like a thunderclap.

Nalan Yun seemed unable to see Yue Tingcheng's presence; with a warm smile on his face, he walked straight to Zhao Qingluo's side, looking only at her.

"If only you could come back to find me," Ji Liunian said to himself, his eyes still listless.

Quietly gazing at her, watching her like an elegant orchid in a lonely valley, Dugu Chen suddenly had the illusion that everything had returned to the past, to when they first met.
