Volume One, Chapter 141: Reunion of Old Friends

After getting into the car, Feng Yizhou did not drive Li Ruochu straight home.
Instead, he steered the vehicle along the winding streets toward a secluded corner.
The atmosphere inside the car was oppressive and heavy. Feng Yizhou gripped the steering wheel tightly, his gaze focused yet carrying an indescribable, complex emotion.
Li Ruochu sat in the front passenger seat, looking at Feng Yizhou's solemn profile. Her heart was filled with doubt and unease, yet she did not dare to question him rashly.
At the end of the corner, a military vehicle was parked quietly, exuding a stern and mysterious aura under the dim streetlights.
Feng Yizhou slowly brought the car to a halt, opened the door without a word, and stepped out first.
Li Ruochu...
Seeing Captain Zhang's actions, the two young police officers seemed to understand something. They fell silent, nodded heavily, and followed behind Captain Zhang to inspect the surroundings.
"God is omniscient, omnipotent, and inscrutable. Devoting ourselves to spiritual practice and self-improvement is our best choice," Luther glanced at the crowd and said.
Su Zidu was truly a man of genuine talent and learning; his eloquence and effortless literary phrasing showed he was far from ordinary. However, some of his ideas were overly idealistic—a textbook idealist.
Many of the guests attending the banquet were impoverished commoners who had little money to spare. Coupled with the current difficult conditions, they could only bring whatever they could manage: chicken and duck eggs they were usually too reluctant to eat at home, fish, shrimp, and soft-shell turtles freshly caught from the river, as well as game hunted by local woodsmen.
"Then..." Tang Huazang was about to ask, but Tang Xianyai raised a hand to stop him, signaling him to remain calm and listen as he continued.
The wolf seemed to understand the subordinate's words. It let out an "Ahow" cry directed at the man, as if expressing its defiance at being treated like a common dog.
Therefore, she had to return to the Imperial Garden—at the very least, to give Su Jingchu a chance to perform, didn't she?
Whether the two of them could survive depended entirely on how they handled what came next. If the ghost in the room could communicate, that would be manageable; if communication was impossible, they would simply have to fight for their lives to the very end.

When all is said and done, Zhao Gao and the others simply regarded him as an ignorant child. In reality, he understood everything, and he knew about the emperor falling into the water and going missing. Afterwards, a young child appeared in Dongwu County holding the Dark Bird Jade Talisman; following investigations, it could be deduced that this had originated from Sishui Commandery.
However, there was still one problem. Although [Hyper-Sense Tracking] could reveal hidden footprints, the moment she selected one to [Manifest], all the other footprints would completely vanish and could no longer be displayed.
In a fleeting instant, the two entered the medicinal herb courtyard. At that moment, Mu Xifang flicked his hand to produce the specialized herb-gathering tools of an alchemist and began transplanting the pill materials he had dreamed of acquiring.
It seemed as though the battle would continue infinitely, but in reality, the current tactical situation was overwhelmingly disadvantageous to Kiritsugu.
Colt felt his eyelids suddenly grow heavy, and the physical toll of prolonged high-G maneuvering began to set in.
"I am busy, but I remembered that I haven't finished eating that mooncake from the other day yet," Gao Haotian actually still had the heart to joke with her.
Tong En immediately felt a sense of relief. Of course—she had come here today to make a donation; fretting over prices here was rather laughable.
"Granny Liang, you must tell Their Majesties that I miss them very much here, and don't forget to resign from your post and come stay with me!" Zhao Cheng cried out, burying himself in Liang Shicheng's embrace.
"How do you have time to remember me? Where is your man?" She hadn't seen Lin Shengnan for a long time.
"Chu Haoran! What are you doing?" Xiong Zhifang was startled, but by the time he reacted, Chu Haoran had already let go.
"No, Mom is Mom, and Dad is Dad. You must apologize to me," Yuhao refused to compromise at all.
The servants did not dare linger there any longer and quickly dispersed. The Purgatory Legion also followed them away from the side courtyard, leaving only Bai Feifei and Chu Haoran behind.
Upon hearing this, Smiling Beauty was moved to the extreme. Unable to control herself any longer, she let out a soft moan and fell into Xu Ruoxue's arms. Xu Ruoxue, without the slightest hesitation, cupped the delicate beauty's chin and kissed her deeply.
Never before had he felt so keenly that he had truly failed the beautiful women around him—those who loved him, and whom he deeply loved.
"Uh, my dear wife, is that really what you're thinking?" Lin Yifeng looked into Zhang Ziqi's eyes, utterly unable to guess her truest thoughts.

The might of these three heavenly tribulations was even more terrifying. The moment they appeared, thunderous roars echoed across the heavens, sounding as though the world was coming to an end.
Yet whether it was the match against the Avengers Team or the God Team, the situation in the first two games was largely the same.
Excitement, anticipation, a sense of relief, and the mischievous gleam of a prank. The sparkling light in those beautiful large eyes seemed capable of dispelling all the surrounding darkness.
Though Li Mo spoke out of genuine concern, it wasn't because the Prince's Estate was inferior to a mere Leng family. Rather, it was because too many of their core disciples had been killed initially, leaving their mid-tier strength insufficient to contend with the Leng family.
Yingqiao smiled and said, "When this servant served in the Guanju Palace, Nanny Liang taught us that the greatest taboo in conduct and affairs is to be a weather vane swaying with the wind. Previously, when I served the Empress, I was wholly dedicated to her. Later, when Her Majesty sent me to serve Your Ladyship, I became entirely devoted to serving Your Ladyship."
Holding his phone, Boliang said, "The photos have been sent to us. Our microchips will be cleared for entry shortly, and we can make our move as soon as they arrive."
To these people, the three words "Golden Gu Sect" were like thunder to the ear. This sect was both righteous and unorthodox, coming and going like a phantom; in the true sense, it was far more mysterious than the Netherworld.
"Haven't you noticed that you've changed ever since you entered this villa? Your temperament has shifted—at times irritable, at times depressed, and you've even begun to act dissolute!" Li Yan yang simply applied some heavy medicine.
Though only a single instant had passed in the mortal realm, when a calmed Ye Feng looked again at the courtyard full of artifact-crafting equipment, he felt a surreal sense of having lived through another lifetime.
"Rubbish, tell me, did you think of some good idea!" Li Qiye spat, grabbing Ye Feng's hand.
Along the way, he hijacked two horses like a homicidal maniac. When both horses had run themselves to death and the final one was foaming at the mouth, he finally reached the branch office.
