Volume 1, Chapter 38: Probing

Zhang Yang glanced down the corridor and, seeing that no guests were paying attention to him, twisted the door handle and stormed angrily into the office.

Moreover, Su Xiaowan was once a reigning queen of pop and a celebrated film actress, embodying both exquisite talent and beauty. Although some had criticized her acting back then, it was undeniable that among the leading ladies of that era, Su Xiaowan’s craft was unparalleled, making her rightful holder of the Best Actress title.

“Do you think you can escape?” The Lord of the Demonic Realm chuckled darkly, licking his crimson tongue as he took a giant stride and plunged into the starlit sky.

The powerful figures mostly returned to Ping Village. Lei Sheng instructed them to first develop a team of fifty within the village and to report any situations immediately to the headquarters in Shanshan. The flying boards became the transportation tool for the two.

Outside, the servants were about to announce the arrival of Ye Youyao and Su Jinxi, but Ye Youyao stopped them. No one knew his intention; he silently slipped behind Su Jinxi, who had been walking just ahead.

“I want to go play over there,” Tun Tun said, wriggling a few times before wanting to get down. With no choice, the servant let him down.

At this moment, his seemingly endless sword aura surged from over thirty-six thousand pores across his body. Each strand carried an overwhelmingly domineering sword intent, the cutting air howling relentlessly. To onlookers, it was like a river of sword energy cascading down, an unstoppable force.

Zhang Yang called Ye Feng to inquire about Tu Jianfeng’s situation tonight, but the noise from Ye Feng’s end suggested he was at a KTV or bar, enjoying himself.

Back then, Chen Jueding had fallen at the peak of his glory, becoming an eternal regret.

“How about this: if you want to savor the purest, freshest taste of fish, I recommend a simple clear-boiled carp,” Zhang Yang suggested, describing the simplest dish that best reveals the quality of the fish.

At this time, Fei Mo glanced at the watch on his wrist—it was already noon. He was to accompany Yiyi for lunch.

Of course, he cherished the night spent with his mother; the next day, he would leave home to return to Jiangcheng.

The students of Phoenix Academy were quite formidable, and the teachers were no less so. For a time, the battle between both sides was fierce and evenly matched.

Suddenly, a crowd of over a thousand gathered around, more than half clamoring to report the matter to the authorities.

She never deliberately hid her relationship with Shen Qianhang; anyone following her knew she had a handsome boyfriend.

Nibel joked that they saved money on a trophy, saying trophies were too expensive. Now, with this actual proof, he was just teasing, cautioning not to underestimate Fanhua’s strength.

Tang Zixuan felt as if she had been suddenly cast into midair, a severe sense of weightlessness causing a numb, painful throb in her heart.

Though it took only minutes to walk from the main hall to this private room, Shen Qiqi believed that with Han Ying’s connections, her background and wealth had long been uncovered.

Su Nuan hesitated for a moment before lowering her head and pulling out the jade Buddha pendant that had accompanied her for over twenty years from her pajama collar.

Phoenix, lost in thought, no longer paid attention to Shen Qinyue and naturally failed to notice the subtle sigh of relief on his face.

Ji Ying caressed Ajiu’s hand and sighed, “The Dowager is too cautious. She doesn’t even dare decide on the marriage of the Shun Prince herself, handing it over to me instead. Am I really that fearsome?”

Seeing this somewhat awkward scene, Mo Jingtian felt embarrassed; after all, Jin Shangyu was the ruler of Huayu.

Fu Qingyu hesitated briefly but still went out to meet Lan Zhaoyu. They spoke privately, and when Fu Qingyu returned to the kitchen, his expression was quite normal, revealing nothing amiss.

The fourth round began; few contestants remained outside. Suddenly, Liu Yefei noticed a young man nearby carrying a familiar sword—a family heirloom known as Moonlight.

“Sasuke, you don’t have to do this.” Uzumaki Nai had somehow appeared silently in the corner of the room. A chakra chain flew from her finger, suspending the headless Shui Yue midair.

“No matter! Everything proceeds according to plan!” Sima Lang decisively issued the command.

“No! My family is in Aslan, and I truly love this land,” Li Ling answered without hesitation.

Last year’s incident in Yixi tribe caused a huge uproar. Everyone at the Martial Academy knew that several junior sisters had gone with Wu Yueqing.

A massive pillar crashed down, bringing the wall of fire with it. Xing Lai turned to see that Gaoshan Daming had donned an armored mask, resembling a ghostly deity standing amidst the flames.

“Gentlemen, I look forward to working with you in the future,” Shiyue smiled warmly and extended a hand to greet them.

Thus, Mr. Liang planned to return to Asia to focus on designing the layout and architectural style of Nanhua University.

After two days of meetings, he presented his previous plans for the new country, placing them directly on the negotiation table.

However, at that moment, Li Wei’s hand shot out, intertwining with another’s. In an instant, he acted swiftly, grasping Jiang Potian’s neck before the latter could react, fingers tightening around his throat as he slowly lifted the elder man.

This delta region would see no large-scale development for at least twenty years. Even in the future, it would only become a university city and a hub of scientific research.

Though not necessarily life-threatening, a gentleman does not stand beneath a precarious wall. Besides, it would only add extra burdens to the police.

“Then we can’t leave just yet!” Pan Yuhong thought of Mei Xuelian, who had yet to emerge, and spoke to the monk.

“Second-rank martial general!?” Luo Yu looked at the slender figure and was slightly surprised. He hadn’t expected such a martial general to exist in the seemingly sinister Chi Jiang City.

Glancing at the now deserted streets, Tang Tang suddenly felt she might have been mistaken.

Originally, the Hidden Spirit Society would not have taken someone like him in, but somehow he managed to gain their acceptance. He even swore to all members of the Society to reform and start anew.
