Volume 1, Chapter 26: Su Yunhai Lets His Daughter Go

He immediately sent for Su Yunhai and briefly summarized the negotiations with the Wang family.

"Yunhai, the Wang family is deliberately blocking our path to undermine Peach Blossom Village. We, the Shen family, have decided not to travel with them. Would it be feasible to merge directly into your village?" Shen Huaian asked, looking at Su Yunhai.

After hearing this, Li Shimin pondered it repeatedly, wondering how Li Chengqian had come up with so many solutions in such a short amount of time.

At noon the next day, Zhong Xuesong received a letter from Erlang and was thrilled to learn that the Retired Emperor had personally issued an imperial decree appointing him as the magistrate of Jiangcheng.

Finally, they attempted to forcibly seize the Miao village where the two clans resided, but were firmly stopped by that ancestor.

They were sold as slaves to the Xie family, the most prominent and influential family in the prefectural capital. The second master of the Xie family was a scholar who held a position in the prefectural government, and the patriarch was a retired capital official who had once reached the fourth rank, commanding great prestige.

The spherical shape, the ring-like blue grid pattern on the surface, and the protruding buttons made him impatient to get started.

Feng Weiguo, known by his other identity, Wushuang! Before the emergence of Grandmother Tong, he reigned supreme in the underground world for fifteen years. It was only after Grandmother Tong appeared that the two established a connection, and Feng Weiguo gradually faded from the underground scene, accepting only routine ranking missions, most of which he delegated to Liu Siyu.

The Prince of Yan had a prominent bulge on his forehead shaped like the sun, extending straight up to the crown of his head—a feature known as the "Sun Horn Piercing the Heavens."

Upon entering the courtyard, they saw the ten guards left behind by Zhao Mian, still busily engaged in distilling liquor.

"That's wonderful, Shen Xiu! We will definitely win." Liu Sisi was even more excited than Shen Xiu upon hearing the news, grabbing his arm and shaking it vigorously.

After chatting with the old man for a while, Duan Geng moved a stool to the doorway, leaned against the wall to soak up the sun, and took out his phone.

Eight divisions of the army charged toward the Silver Wolf Legion's camp from eight directions. Among them, four divisions of heavy cavalry disregarded the forest of spears ahead and lunged forward with frantic intensity.

Everyone cast their gaze toward the distant horizon. The trees outside Peace Town had been cleared by hand, providing an unobstructed view.

Half a minute later, Zhou Hua peeked through the gap in the door, trying to see if Li Feng had fallen asleep.

When everyone rushed into the room, they saw Li Mei had collapsed in Wang Qiuyun's arms, the knife used to hold Wang Qiuyun hostage now plunged into her chest. Her once bright eyes were beginning to grow dim.

Then there were the land surveys and population registration—these were like blades cutting to the bone, all aimed directly at the noble clans and powerful families.

Sword light continuously traced patterns across the Horned Dragon Beast. The confusion in Jian Chen's heart began to unravel bit by bit. The attack power of his crimson-gold primordial energy grew stronger; where it had previously barely broken the beast's defense, it now did so with little effort.

"You were right earlier. Men like him prefer to choose what suits them rather than what they love. I want to make him a black casual outfit; black suits him better. Would you like to ask about Li An's preferences first?" Ruojin suggested.

Sophia, with her wings tucked away, was the dream lover of many men. With the backing of the Yan Emperor Group, no one dared harbor ill intentions toward her. Nevertheless, Sophia had many suitors, including heads of several super-powered factions.

Chen Yiqian was a bit disappointed to see her leave in such a hurry. She drove back absent-mindedly, hesitating over what Zhao Ziqiang wanted to discuss with her father: was it the crisis facing the Chen Corporation, or was he going to take advantage of the situation to propose marriage?

The cigarette burned in his hand. Lately, he had become "obsessed" with nicotine—or perhaps it was a dependency. Every time he missed Xi Kexi, he would light one and smoke it slowly.
