Chapter 40: The Advisor Turns Out to Be a Distinguished Young Scholar?!

"But what does she have to do with Chu Miaojing?" Mother Chu asked, frowning.

Chu Miaoyi gritted her teeth and said, "Lin Qiongqiong is a good friend of Chu Miaojing's. Previously, it was because of Chu Miaojing that Lin Qiongqiong exposed the gift I gave as a fake in front of Miss Qin, causing Miss Qin to turn against me."

"That unfilial wretch! The Chu family provided her with food and shelter for so many years, and it's already bad enough that she doesn't repay the family, but she actually incites outsiders to deal with our family! Truly eating inside and out!" Mother Chu raged.

Zhong Wuyan inwardly cried out in despair, but she had no time for idle thoughts. To save her life, she had no choice but to fight with all her might. After clashing a dozen or so rounds, she accidentally killed one of her attackers. Seeing someone killed, the crowd grew even more furious. They called upon their friends and companions, instantly gathering dozens of people demanding that Zhong Wuyan pay with her life.

"What? Are you unwilling to leave?" Steward Qiao curled the corners of his lips, smiling as he stared at the ten people.

"There's really no need for that, is there? We're still having fun at the scenic spot!" Fang Li hesitated slightly. He truly did not want to attend this dinner; he had taken a complete disliking to An Zijian's demeanor yesterday, and had even planned to let He Xi put him in his place. He never expected that after just one night, an apology call would already come through.

That was a cave similarly overgrown with glowing aquatic weeds, except that this cave was much larger, encompassing nearly a thousand mu in circumference.

"It looks nice, quite good." Ever since Liu Ruobing heard from Liu Mengqi that this was a party organized by Gao Feng, she hadn't wanted to go, but seeing her friend's pleading gaze, she found it hard to refuse.

Suddenly, a buzzing sound came from afar. Following the noise, I looked over and saw a luminous creature flying in from the distance. When it flew right before my eyes, I was astonished to discover that it was actually a firefly.

The fellows below turned grim-faced. Those in the know remained silent, while those in the dark asked their companions what on earth this Law Enforcement Team was.

Immediately, Tianqing, Huang Xiyue, and Xiao Lin all cast sideways glances, failing to understand what Lin Ying meant. Lin Ying blinked and quietly pointed to the close-following Ice-Storm Savage Ox Cavalry Regiment not far behind.

"Heh? What kind of new military tactic and strategy is this from the Japs? I've truly never seen it before. Deputy Regiment Commander Han, do you understand?" the Chief of Staff asked in bafflement.

Moreover, with the influx of state funding and talent, it was clear that this hypothesis held a certain degree of market among the upper echelons. However, Director Ma and his team did not let them down; a month later, they finally brought the good news to the leaders that they had once again captured the coordinates of this creature.

"I know. Even when it comes to scheming, I am no match for you," He Quan said with a wry smile.

A trace of displeasure flashed across Ye Zihao's face. With a direct, heavy slap, he tossed Zhu Bogang aside, then squatted down to check on the old master's condition.

Duka, standing behind Zhou Jiping, trembled all over. He clearly felt the power and speed behind Zhou Jiping's spear thrust—a force and method completely different from his own way of generating power. Duka dared not imagine that if this spear had been aimed at him, he would have had no way of dodging it whatsoever.

In the middle of the lotus pond, tiny fragments of golden light glittered brightly, resembling overlapping fish scales, dazzlingly brilliant.

In just two minutes, Captain Jin recovered completely, except that the wrinkles on his face still remained.

Anyone whose brain wasn't squeezed by a door would stay far away from him, terrified of being implicated. Yet this fellow before him actually still dared to make friends with him.

Having settled the discussion, the Emperor of Gu Zhou did not hesitate, directly ordering the Golden-Armored Heavenly Soldiers to retrieve the Gold of Cold Waters.

Hearing Chen Jun's question, Zhang Gangben frowned deeply. He remained silent for a long time, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Before leaving, he sought out Old D, asking him to help hire a few mercenaries to wait at a desolate supply post. If any armed personnel passed by and prepared to head toward a certain coordinate, he requested that they make sure to stir up some trouble for those people.
