Chapter 64
Sister Mei had converted the balcony on the south side of the third floor into a greenhouse, furnished with two rocking chairs and a selection of exquisite potted plants.
"Ah-Lie, if you refuse to accompany me, my aunt and uncle will be upset," Wei Fangling said, offering him a smile.
"Jiayan, you need to bend your arm a little more," Chen Han stepped forward and tugged at Qin Jiayan's arm.
As for what she was up to, Gu Han felt it was of little consequence; as long as she did not interfere with his work, he was entirely indifferent to everything else.
"So that was it." Listening to Qin E, Xiao Changxiu scratched the back of his head thoughtfully. A sudden flash of inspiration struck him: could Qin E's words imply that he had been spending far too little time with her lately, and that she was now harboring grievances and dissatisfaction?
Thus, an awkward scene unfolded: Li Tian stood at the payment counter, pretending he still had money as he rummaged continuously through his pockets to mask his embarrassment.
"Aunt Zhang, just how much did she give you, you ungrateful turncoat!" Old Master Gu's breathing suddenly turned rapid, his shoulders heaving noticeably up and down.
Having survived this severe illness, the very first thought in Wang Ruolei's mind upon regaining her health was to live life to the fullest.
Naturally, a cousin also represented an extension of one's family. Jiang Yun felt that he wanted to pursue a long-term relationship with Wang Ruoxin, so meeting her parents was a necessary step.
Bing Ruo's eyes turned red and she could not help burying her face in her hands. Yu Qing's expression remained unreadable, and she said nothing.
The array glowed brilliantly, flashing incessantly. The churning, boiling energy surged like lightning, darting around the perimeter of the formation.
On the evening of the seventh day of the lunar month, Qin Lang, who had vanished for a long time, suddenly reappeared. He unlocked the door himself, and his expression upon entering was less than pleasant. At that moment, Ye Li was curled up on the sofa watching television. Seeing him come in, she smiled brightly, as though he had never been gone for days and had never ignored her entirely.
"Is the Duke of Zhao really planning not to stay in Lanzhou for a few more days since he has finally made the trip out here?" Yuan Shan asked.
"I don't know." Ye Li only felt a chaotic panic in her heart; her hands and feet grew ice-cold, and she trembled slightly.
Having failed to recruit soldiers in Nanning, Lin Xiao instructed Ding Shuai to enlist men locally. Fortunately, there were quite a few refugees in Qinzhou and Fangcheng Town. In the end, they selected over six thousand men through a merit-based recruitment process, organized them into a new regiment, and began their training.
Normally, when accompanying Consort Changsun to various temples to offer prayers, the women would dare to secretly sneak in a cushion or shift their waist and knees. But during such a solemn occasion, no one dared to cut corners, as doing so would invite disaster upon their own household.
"What are you playing at? The disciples of the Alchemy Pavilion have always stood united. What good does offending them do you?" Wang Ruoyun knitted her brows and asked.
Having said that, Ling Changyun turned around right in front of Qin Chen. Qin Chen followed suit and looked over, only to see Zhao Zhangsong stepping out from in front of Zhao Wuji, walking right into the center of the arena, and casting a deeply provocative gaze toward their side.
However, the giant's descending slash did not stop. This was the condensation of blade intent, a release of blade intent that would not dissipate even if gods and demons perished.
Nevertheless, nearing fifty years of age, he was no reckless brute. He managed to regain his composure in time, realizing that with a formidable enemy right before them, now was not the moment to indulge in regret.
He simply hadn't expected Gu Yuanbei to abandon all those affairs in Beijing and chase after her all the way to Changchun.
Now, this was genuinely useful information! Wuji was suddenly enlightened: the date was August 16th, and the location was the Central Hospital. All they needed to do was pull up the roster of Orcs who had applied for resurrection on that exact day, and wouldn't they find the eyewitness?
At that critical juncture, a brilliant flash of light erupted from the jade throne deep within the main hall of the Four Symbols Palace, and a figure materialized upon the seat.
Abruptly, the towering peak of Mount Xiang spontaneously sprouted tens of thousands of crimson ru-mu shrubs, clustering together in an endless expanse. Beneath the heavy snow, the blooming ru-mu flowers appeared as vivid as fresh blood, dazzling and heartbreakingly desolate.
Kong Kongmie and the others were suddenly somewhat puzzled. This Pluto showed no intention of stepping out of the spatial void; could it be that he was unable to do so?
Mo Di and Guiguzi were already unfazed by this point. They had seen people blessed with good luck, but never anyone whose luck defied the heavens to such an extent. It seemed that no matter how difficult a task might be, once it reached Qin Yibai, it instantly became exceedingly simple.
Prompted by his questions, Feng Wuqing could actually have completely washed his hands of the Emperor Soul Map; however, Master Kong Kong's instructions still required some form of closure.
"Ye Fei, why is it you again?" Su Wanqing felt a surge of anger flare up the moment she recalled their previous encounter at the coffee shop.
Based solely on this point alone, countless young people, and even some overlords of various realms, yearned to step inside and catch a glimpse.
These were all fiends, every single one radiating formidable demonic energy. Yet they appeared almost illusory, much like ghosts, save for the fact that they were far more terrifying than ordinary ghosts, and their demonic energy possessed a greater capacity to corrupt human hearts.
Yet, as she scanned her surroundings in a circle, she spotted no suspicious individuals, nor could she trace the source of that piercing gaze.
From the very moment she had known her, she had always been confident, as if nothing in the world could ever stump her. No matter how insurmountable the difficulty, she could always resolve it with ease.
The head of the Tang family standing beside him gave a slight cough, visibly struggling to suppress a chuckle at the scene.
