Chapter 110: Retribution Came One After Another! Chen Zhiyuan Was Laid Off!
In the deep mountains, stumbling upon such a crumbling temple only deepened the sense of ill omen in their hearts. Xu Li, however, looked straight into it, and seeing her do so, An Ning gathered her courage and peered inside as well.
Zhang Xingsheng calculated that he should buy a few pagers. Anyone willing to work with him would count as one of the company’s first founding veterans, and each of them should be issued one as part of the company’s standard work equipment.
The Jade Emperor was instantly alarmed by this. What was this supposed to mean? They would not even let him through the gate. The last shred of hope in his heart was completely shattered.
The rest of them focused on cultivation, but immortals as desperate and relentless as Du Yi were truly few and far between. At the very least, Wu Mei had never heard of one before, which was why she was so surprised and asked about the doubt in her heart.
“Gurgle.” His stomach growled twice, jolting Teacher Hua back to her senses. She pushed Zhang Chong away, straightened her hair, and coughed twice awkwardly.
“Wrong? You only know you were wrong now? Too late. I’m telling you, call me right now and get your father over here. Otherwise, you can wait to have this recorded as a demerit!” Teacher Huang said relentlessly.
After hearing this, the group led by Bald Cripple exchanged uneasy glances, all turning to Zhang Xingsheng and waiting to see how he would solve this problem.
In truth, Wu Mei’s heart was also filled with bitterness. Since falling into the abyss, nothing had gone smoothly for her. If not for Du Yi, she would likely already be dead. And now she was trapped beneath the cliff of this mountain range of severed peaks; this time, it seemed she truly stood on the edge of life and death.
Terrible. Mu Yang had apparently left in a fit of anger today. Had she returned to the school dormitory yet?
A flash of amazement crossed Ma Yan’s eyes. The sports car’s sleek shape was quite beautiful, the leather seats were very comfortable, and the interior was spacious and luxurious. Listening to the rumble of the engine, Ma Yan felt as though she were dreaming.
A large part of the rewards in the hundred-thousand-year gift package had probably been consumed by the Eye of Cause and Effect and the Creation Divine Liquid.
Although everything that had happened before had been someone else’s fault, severing ties over it was indeed far too extreme.
At least the reinforced concrete house was solid and durable. Once the doors and windows were sealed, not much dust would get inside. Even if they returned after several years, a bit of cleaning would make it perfectly livable.
In Shengjing, relationships among noble houses were impossible to fathom. Though both held the rank of marquis, there was a clear gulf between the Marquis of Jing’an’s residence and the Marquis of Zhenbei’s residence: the Marquis of Zhenbei’s household rose like the newly born sun, while the Marquis of Jing’an’s waned like the moon sinking in the west.
The city lord leaned on his cane and gave a slight wave of his hand. At once, someone behind him carried up a wooden box and walked to Lin Qiye’s side, opening it before him.
Wei Dong lay on the somersault cloud and let out a long breath. He sat up, looked down, and studied Lin Qiye with a strange expression.
In Longxi, there was the general most valued by Wu Dongming, Meng Zhong. Meng Zhong’s second wife, Lady He, was a cousin of He Jiang. Meng Zhong’s legitimate eldest son by his first wife was not on good terms with Lady He. In the end, he simply ran away from home, taking several hundred men with him into the desert. On the way, they encountered a sandstorm, and none survived.
If he had not possessed so many secret arts and extraordinary techniques, he would not have been a match for the Elephant King at all. The Elephant King could have killed him with a single strike.
The foundry production line at Huaxing Technology’s wafer factory was temporarily unable to meet the surging demand for orders, so a large number of contract manufacturing orders had flown to Central International instead.
As one of the people of the heavens, he understood perfectly well what the dark side meant for all the worlds.
“It’s been so long since I’ve been by the young lord’s side. I wonder whether he is still alive and well?” Thinking of the expression the young lord had worn when he was made to swallow his pride back then, Old Yellow Tooth grinned, but wine spilled from the corner of his mouth and soaked the front of his collar.
The people of the martial world each had their own thoughts and opinions, and none could persuade the others. Thus, those who shared the same view simply sat around the table together, drinking and talking. No trouble arose, mainly because within Jiangnan Tower, who would dare make a scene?
The Ministry of Justice handled clan regulations. In the future, those regulations would still need to be refined into a complete and reasonable code of law, so that there would truly be laws to rely on.
Since His Majesty did not approve, this subject did not dare sit. In the end, Emperor Wuzong agreed to pardon Yang Sifu and Li Jue, ordering the envoys to be recalled, though the two men were once again demoted.
“Tsk, tsk. The company has spoiled you far too much. In the entertainment industry, it’s hard to find another actor like you who can do whatever he pleases.” Whether it was filming or appearing on a program, did he not still have to listen to the company?
“Enough with the idle talk.” Hearing the Ragged Taoist’s words, Lei Hong was clearly already angry. As soon as he finished speaking, his great blade struck again. He had almost been hit by the frost just now, so with this slash, he was determined to reclaim his dignity. The blade’s force was fierce beyond measure.
Huang Manzi looked Old Yellow Tooth up and down, then smiled faintly and said, “He says I’m dull and foolish, but I say he’s weak and feeble!” With that, he gathered all his strength. His divine power was concentrated entirely into that one punch. The fist wind howled; though it was not true vajra power, it carried a faint clanging resonance.
After hearing this, the others said nothing more. Zhou Bai’s defection to the Nine Li Clan was undoubtedly a tremendous threat, and there was no way to undo it now. They could only respond to whatever came their way.
After carefully applying the medicine to Ruo Yu, Yang Haoxuan took out a proper set of clothes and gently dressed her again.
At this moment, he could not allow his senior sister, or rather the woman he loved, to come to harm. Even if he had to stake his life, he would see that Nanny Li escaped this place of contention and danger.
Palm met fist with a dull boom, unleashing a violent gale that spread in all directions. In the fierce clash of their spiritual power, Wu Hao’s green robe also fluttered wildly.
Just as Han Tinglin was lost in reverie, a burst of hurried footsteps and shouting made him frown.
Although Tianxiang Academy also closed for the New Year, not many students left. There was nothing to be done; transportation in this era was far too inconvenient. If one returned home and then came back to the academy, those living far away would need months for the journey. It was better to stay at the academy instead, since even on New Year’s Eve the cafeteria still served meals.
Ye Chen’s body glowed as he resisted the peerless killing intent, while at the same time he looked up at the Golden Crow Demon King. For some reason, he felt that something new had appeared in the other’s gaze.
