Chapter 59 Half-Siblings

"Did the young master's mother pass away, or..." Did the young master's father betray his mate?

She left the last part unsaid, but Yun Li knew Gong Mei would understand what she was suspecting.

Of course Gong Mei knew what she was implying; after all, when she first learned that Ji Chen and the young master did not share the same mother, she had thought the exact same thing.

"Neither."

"Ah?"

Then what was the situation?

Yun Li's face was filled with curiosity.

Gong Mei thought for a moment, then suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I'll tell you, but you mustn't tell any of the other beasts."

"Okay!"

At this point, Yun Li had no idea that what Gong Mei was about to say was actually no secret at all within the tribe.

Because...

"Marquis of Zhenhai!" Kan Xuejing blurted out three words in a rush, with a tone as if she would never get another chance if she didn't say it immediately.

"Yun Zhi, you are destined to never leave today. I advise you not to make a pointless struggle." Xi walked slowly from behind at that moment, her fluttering robes graceful and charming, yet her words were chilling enough to make one's heart tremble.

"Slander, this is blatant slander..." a board member roared during the subsequent meeting.

Otherwise, Su Yunshui would not have been able to react within just a few short breaths and directly link Meng Xingyuan's name to it.

From now on, Baili Chenfeng's enemies would be her Chu Yunxi's enemies; if one day he wanted this world, she would simply help him seize it.

She actually still cared about him. If she had truly regarded him as a rapist, her sharp nails could have scratched his face to shreds.

However, Mo Yifeng could not deny that Taner Qu's method was the simplest and most direct one. Because she did not want to waste time here. Yet, anyone with a normal mind would probably never use such a method.

Gu Siqun searched all around for the figure of Xuanyuan Jingyang, only to find him standing quietly beneath a flowering tree. Swirling pink blossoms drifted down and scattered over him, looking exceptionally beautiful, while his face was something far more wonderful than the flowers. He just stood there so quietly, gazing up at the blossoms above.

No precious herbs could be found in the woods, but Xiao Yueye didn't need any; he found a few herbs capable of invigorating blood and replenishing vital energy, and casually gathered some dry firewood.

The quiet lake water lapped against the shore, and Ye Feng knew that even if Ye Tianyan and the Ruan family sent people simultaneously, within a prestigious institution like Shengwu Academy, they would not dare to openly search for him.

"Menghans. Don't be nervous. This is the soul of a senior of mine. He is currently residing within me," Chu Ge explained.

"This concubine deserves death! It is this concubine's failure to properly look after the Ninth Prince! This concubine deserves death!" Consort De battered her head against the floor in a frenzy of self-blame and terror.

Zhele breathed heavily, his hands clenched into tight fists as his eyes stared fixedly at Ryan. Suddenly, he let out a long sigh, lowered his hands, and a look of resignation appeared on his face.

The guard rode back to Zhuge Liang's residence, and Zhuge Liang asked why he had returned so early. The guard told Kongming that the lord had summoned Pang Tong and Zhang Fei with a stern and angry expression.

"You... you... you..." Hearing Rod's words, she opened her mouth several times, wanting to speak but failing to utter a sound. Watching Rod's retreating figure, Shirley angrily stamped her foot and muttered unresignedly.

Leng Yahong trotted up the stairs, her mind replaying her sister's words. If true love is about making oneself better, then falling in love with him... making her want to become a better person and face her flaws with greater courage—this must be true love, right?

Moreover, when executing the actual combat technique of the Illusionary Annihilation Judgment, Xingfei clearly felt that all the strength in his body had transformed into something else—wild and fierce, as if the power within him had instantly expanded several fold, or even dozens of fold, slipping almost entirely out of his control.

"Who, exactly, are you? How do you come to have this jade pendant?" Yu Huai gripped the jade pendant, staring intently at Xiao Yueye without blinking an eye.

2. This number is for reference only. The specific number will be adjusted based on the candidates' test scores.

No matter what, Yang Jin was the strongest esper in the Black Tower, and residing within the Black Tower were the strongest espers gathered from several nearby cities. Therefore, Yang Jin was not someone easily defeated.

"Alakazam, give him the final blow! Use Psychic to throw them all out of this city," Lone Wolf ordered coldly with a nod.

Guole offered a cold, mocking smile and said nothing. He disdained such methods of killing with a borrowed knife. He wanted Zhao Yiquan's life, but not through such transactional means; he would take it with his own hands.

"Elder Xia, the four of us are Mr. Sun's students at the Imperial University. Since this is a welcome banquet, it is only right that we disciples act as the hosts!" The one speaking was Hu Xun, also known as Shishi, the most mature among them.

Lian Zining's prestige in the occupied territories could only be described as blazing like the midday sun. What he represented could only—and must—be righteous, glorious, and universally revered, while someone else had to shoulder the things that could not bear the light of day.

Now that the order was given, the Chimchar responded immediately. Throwing its hands and feet into a powerful thrust, it leaped into the air. With a soft cry, dozens of stars erupted from its body, attacking the Scyther soaring in the sky.

With that done, Xu Jianxing shifted his cultivation technique, burrowed into the ground, and traveled some distance away. He then reappeared in the outside world and soared into the sky. He simply could not bear the scene of parting; rather than enduring such oppressive sorrow, it was better to leave quickly and head where he belonged, waiting until his cultivation realm stabilized before returning.

Avoidance does not equal giving up. He knew he would come again, and that he would eventually ascend the mountain gates of Linyin Temple, just not right now—at least, it was inconvenient for Yuniang at present.

"I can't tell what background this person has." Although she had her suspicions, she knew that if this man hadn't intervened, she would likely have lost her life long ago.

Ye Zhichen had stayed in the hospital for more than twenty days—not so much staying as stubbornly lingering there.

How could the Jade Emperor not know that a major event was about to occur in the Three Realms? He hurriedly dismissed his attendants and exchanged a glance with the Queen Mother, who naturally understood. The two of them entered the secret chamber and manifested the Xuantian Mirror, sweeping its light back and forth across the Three Realms.

"Uncle, today is the first, isn't it? In three more days, it's Guoguo's birthday! Uncle, are you planning to buy Guoguo a gift?" Guoguo didn't even need to look at the calendar as she scampered up to Xiao Han and asked expectantly.

Li Yanyan was stunned upon hearing this, clearly not expecting it. She had thought her sole value lay in this—that she could discard her reputation and honor entirely just to achieve her goal.

Thinking of Prince Mohanmo of Gaul behind Calais, who was hailed as the God of War of Saint-Germain, her final resistance melted away into nothingness. As long as Cassilius II didn't suddenly reappear, Calais becoming the new master of the Saint-Germain Empire was a settled certainty, and no one had the courage to stand up against Calais anymore.
