Chapter 36: The Missing Young Man

Or perhaps Ye Ling, unwilling to disappoint her kindness, concealed the fact that he had already eaten breakfast and continued to stuff himself, calmly finishing all the food she had brought.

Though this had offended some people and invited slander and harassment, Chen Qing valued him highly and had never considered replacing him as Minister of Public Security.

Tears glimmered in those amber eyes before finally spilling over, two silent trails running down her cheeks.

In the eyes of everyone present, such an act was tantamount to courting certain death. Yet it did not bring about the furious reaction they had imagined from the Undying Battle King.

“I have something to attend to this afternoon. I’ll be leaving first.” Jiang Zili said it indifferently, but Si Nanque seized him by the shoulder.

After saying this, Chen Qing took out a number of beast cores and crystals in front of Wu Ermao and An Zai Xu, placing them all on the ground.

People came and went throughout the hospital ward. The morning rounds had already passed, yet Shen Yiyao was nowhere to be seen.

The commotion here had already reached the front residence. Li Xueyin came over, and a little later, Lu Qian arrived as well.

“How could anyone sleep after something so serious happened? Brother Bing, you must be careful!” Lu Zhaorong said.

Huang Yougui could not make the decision, Zhang Ailian could make it even less, and Huang Meiying was about to get married. What were they supposed to do?

That is why, when we study history and learn about every dynasty, we must not vilify it simply for the sake of vilifying it. We must acknowledge its existence and examine both the good and the bad.

He An drew himself into a ball, still struggling to move as far away from Chu Qian’s embrace as possible, making it clear that he was truly angry.

Hu Yang smiled but said nothing. That so-called blood-red color was not cinnabar at all, but dye. Anyone with even a little expertise could see through it.

The meal was sumptuous; Mr. Liu had clearly put considerable effort into it. After all, Hu Yang and Elder Gu had done him such a great favor, and he had just spoken with the lawyer.

Who could have imagined that, upon seeing her smile, Delis would suddenly go mad? “That vile smile of yours is exactly like your father’s!” she screamed. Then she seized Aimi by the hair and repeatedly slammed her head against the floor.

“I will, Mother. I’ll return on the second day of the New Year to visit you and Father.” Though Zhao Shiqi had never experienced it herself, she knew that returning to one’s mother’s family during the New Year was customary.

Lin Yu pondered from every angle and concluded that the only possibility was that he had made Qi Qiqi cry that day.

After all, many television dramas relied on exaggerated publicity gimmicks to attract viewers, but in reality, things were often nothing like that.

Ye Lanyan smiled confidently and extended her jade-like hand a few inches farther toward Lin Yu, hoping that he would support it.

Now that He An and Chu Qian were both absent from Kelang Planet, why should anyone still care about the two of them? Kelang was precisely in its most dangerous moment, yet everything was eerily calm.

Before long, the on-duty celestial official arrived carrying a Seven-Treasure Glazed Lamp. Covered by a brocade cloud-glow cloth was the finest earth-spirit medicine in the Three Realms.

Because Cao Yang arrived at Northern University so late, the school could no longer arrange a dormitory for him. He had no choice but to stay at the school guesthouse, never expecting that this would lead to yet another hilarious incident.

Thus, his behavior after returning today could mean either that all doubts had truly been dispelled and he was completely at ease, or that it was the prelude to some conspiracy or ambush. He had no choice but to investigate.

“Jin Yong?” Chen Hu looked at the somewhat bewildered Jin Yong, paying no attention whatsoever to Liu Qing.

A shrill, bizarre sound rang out. The Radiant Purification, which had been calm only moments before, suddenly emitted a golden light before tearing apart like a sheet of cloth.

“I know about this matter. I’ll find a time to report it to Deputy Mayor Huang.” Zhao Zhengce said it casually, yet it was enough for Liu Guangdou and Chang Shuguang to understand that this man’s connections reached into the city government.

“Really? You’re actually being this kind?” In You Yitian’s heart, the Spirit of the World had always been nothing more than a predatory loan shark.

“Tomorrow, the name of the Great Emperor of the Dark Cavern will no longer exist, so there will be no need to discuss heroes over boiled green plums and wine. Still, I must admit, these plums taste quite good. Where did you pick them?” Zhuang Wangu popped a green plum into his mouth. Even when speaking of killing the Great Emperor of the Dark Cavern, his tone remained utterly relaxed.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Li Ruo’s voice drew Xi Sa back from his thoughts. Only then did he realize that they were the sole occupants of the hall; all the attendants had withdrawn, and the palace doors were tightly shut. “What brings the Crown Princess here?” Li Ruo smiled faintly and casually surveyed the hall, obvious disdain flickering in her eyes.

Since that was what Father intended, what about the Duchy of Gile? And the other duchies? Could it be that they had all thought of this as well?

The group arrived at a large inn, where they laughed together and raised their cups in celebration of this hard-won reunion.

With a beaming smile, Zhou Zekai watched Tang Bingyu jump in fright at the sudden appearance of her grandfather and found it especially amusing.

Of course, some scenes were unsuitable for children—for instance, the one in which someone was stripped naked after being knocked unconscious and chained to a wall. The calculating, prideful transmigrator naturally skipped over such parts.

Hua Yanyue’s cultivation was not particularly high, only at the seventh level of Qi Refinement. Advancing beyond that would be extremely difficult, for the final two levels were especially arduous. Although such cultivation was already impressive for someone her age, it was still somewhat wasteful for her to enter the secret realm with such strength. She had been granted the opportunity only because the owner of the token was her biological elder brother.

In view of this, while preparing for the grand opening ceremony, Zuo Shuliang sent invitations to the tycoons, executives, and senior officials who had each contributed their share, welcoming them to attend the ceremony and informing them that Yan Yi would personally be present as well.

Sikong Yunping merely gave a brief account: with a single casual strike, he had gravely wounded Luo Hong, only for a mysterious mid-level King-ranked spirit mage to appear and rescue him. Helpless, Sikong Yunping had been forced to return to the Fengning Dynasty.

After entering, Zhou Zekai released the other person’s hand and went straight toward the restroom, leaving Tang Bingyu utterly bewildered. She wanted to ask what was going on but felt too embarrassed. Since he apparently did not intend to pursue what had happened the previous night, she decided not to ask.

What she truly cared about was her mother’s attitude. If her mother were no longer an obstacle, then her relationship with Yan Yi would be as good as settled—virtually certain.
