Volume 1, Chapter 57: Gu Xingchen Takes Over the Golden Mansion

"Father, your son has made up his mind," Gu Xingchen said with absolute resolve.

Never had they expected that even though the place where she and Lin Yue were staying was already considered remote, so many people were still targeting them.

Because of Lin Yue, when Elder Situ Xiang arrived last time, she had even presented three hundred Body Tempering Pills.

After putting the items away, Lu Jue picked up the ivory signet and stood up, saying, "This is my personal seal. Over the years in the capital, I have acquired several properties. As long as you take my signet and go there, they will not doubt you." With that, he handed the signet to Zhao Yan.

If this continued, let alone finding Zhou Ruoshui's remains, he would collapse from exhaustion and severe injuries. Worried that his body wouldn't hold up, Liu Fuling had Yefeng and the others forcibly take Lu Jue back to the inn, while he, Yueying, and Yelin remained behind to continue searching for Zhou Ruoshui's body.

Upon hearing Hu Jianmin's words, Ling Yuxin and Yan Sihai were somewhat surprised. One had to realize that the other party was a veteran wine collector, yet he was adopting an attitude of peer-to-peer communication toward Wen Yiming?

Old Man Diao nodded, naturally able to see that Grandpa still favored Lin Mengyao who had come from the capital. But it didn't matter; strength was strength, and he had absolute confidence in Wen Yiming.

When Yelin had engaged in combat with this rogue cultivator just moments ago—though it took a while to tell—in reality, Yelin had simply rushed out suddenly, channeled his true essence to the fullest, and slashed down with a single sword stroke.

"I didn't expect your strength to be so great! I apologize for what I said just now, and I am going to deal with you seriously now!" Mia said with utmost seriousness.

Even if he united the entire underground world, all he wanted to do was occupy the mithril mine close to the cave. As for the main city of the Beast-Taming Clan, he certainly did not believe his soldiers could fight the Beast-Taming Clan within the rainforest.

However, since Yelin had not rushed to attack earlier, it was precisely to test Yanxin's strength, and he was naturally well-prepared for her counterattack. With a tap of his right hand on his storage pouch, a pitch-black longsword appeared straight in his hand.

Xu Wenchuan ignored them, flicked his whip against his horse, and rode straight ahead without looking back. His subordinates had no choice but to follow closely behind. Seeing Xu Wenchuan pursue in person, Yuli felt a bit more at ease, and she boarded that carriage back to the Liu residence to report the news.

"To be traveling abroad before reaching the age of fifteen, my worthy brother is truly quite bold!" Young Master Lou laughed with a sense of understanding. Fifteen years old—he was still nothing more than a child; no wonder his physique was so soft and slender.

Although Yun Jingxi held no official rank, he was formerly a student of the Imperial College, meaning he did not need to kneel before officials and could address himself as a student.

Watching Wu Ling'er yawn, for some reason, a wave of sleepiness also welled up from the bottoms of the heavenly generals' hearts. Had it not been for their astonishing willpower, they too would have felt the urge to yawn.

"Su'e, be honest with me. Was that old woman who went to Grand Tutor Liu's residence arranged by you?" Lady Gao frowned and stared fixedly at the Princess of Ying, allowing her not the slightest evasion.

Hearing the footsteps, he turned his head. In the bright light of the corridor, I realized he looked even more haggard than he had two days before; his already deep-set eyes had sunken further, concealing a profound melancholy.

"You must not fixate on having to hit it!" Fan Zhixiang's gentle voice sounded from behind.

I closed my eyes and stood silently by the window. In that instant, I finally understood that true exhaustion is when one has the strength to act, but the heart lacks the will.

She raised her head and gazed intently at the person suspended mid-air. At this very moment, his dazzling brilliance outshone even the sun.
