Volume One, Chapter 44: Winning Over His Son

Bai Xuanxuan staggered in fright. It was Yan Xi’s voice!

Could Fu Che be here too? She swallowed, raised an arm to cover her face, and quietly turned around. Waving a hand as she walked back, she said, “You’ve mistaken me for someone else.”

Fu Heng watched her with amused disbelief and reached out to seize her wrist.

The reason books sometimes display such seemingly schizophrenic and bizarre reactions is that there are two causes.

At that moment, the distinctive noise of a warship’s main engine grew clearer and clearer through the Herring’s listening device. To the hunter’s ears, it sounded like celestial music.

The emergence of the Demon-Dispelling Pill once again caused Yaxian City and Jialan City to rise to fame. Not only were large numbers of people from the nearby second-tier Immortal Herb Cities making their way toward the two cities, but even Boundary City, the first-tier main city in the Border Prefecture District, had begun to seethe beneath the surface because of the Meridian-Condensing Pill and the Demon-Dispelling Pill.

Countless blood particles approached that tranquil region at an astonishing speed relative to themselves, yet at an absolute level, they moved slowly. The gaps between the neural tissues were more than spacious enough for Su’s blood particles. They seeped in smoothly, and a few minutes later had nearly filled every crevice in the region.

After passing through the ancient school gates, Lin Feng proceeded in the direction indicated by his senior. The farther he went, the more different it felt. Dragon Soaring University still possessed that same serene, refined, and open atmosphere.

“Heh heh, I already informed them. They’re coming out,” You Li said with a chuckle. That fellow was always fond of ordering people around; the habit was truly irritating.

On October 5, 1935, exactly one week after Italy had formally declared war on Abyssinia, the League of Nations, following countless discussions, negotiations, and communications, officially announced a military embargo and economic sanctions against Italy.

For ordinary people—or ordinary officials, to put it another way—having no principles or backbone meant little in this age of peace and prosperity. At most, they might take a few small advantages or turn a blind eye to certain people and matters. It seemed unlikely to have much impact on the common folk.

If the local factions held sway in Qilian Province, then the political sphere of Chuanyu City was a battlefield over which all the various forces of China contended. Any faction capable of taking part in the struggle for power at the highest levels of Chuanyu City was no pushover. Every one of them was ferociously formidable.

We’re going to see Mother. From now on, our relationship will have the approval of both families. Happiness and love go both ways. What’s yours is mine.

However, there were a full eight doors in the hall, each leading to a different place. Dantai Lan set aside her doubts, but carefully memorized the distinctive features of Li Fan’s Lihuo Sword and the rest. The man who had taken advantage of her was certainly no simple character. Now, faced with eight doors, neither of them knew which one to choose.

“How have I disgusted you?” Ye Tian asked, looking at Feifei. He could not understand why she had suddenly reacted so strongly.

If the white pigeon had accidentally flown in from outside the arena, then wouldn’t shooting it amount to killing an innocent creature?

“Master, it’s like this.” Li Fan took out his Earth Mystic Shield and gave it a slight twist. At once, there was a crisp click, and a ring of silver saw teeth emerged around the shield’s outer edge.

Because Yanling was the site of the ancient event recorded in the Annals of Zuo, in which the Duke of Zheng defeated Duan at Yan, Hai Pingtao named the beloved sword he continued to wield even after mastering his swordsmanship “Duan-Crusher.”

“Then I’m not only going to kill you, I’m going to make you pay me back for my losses. Aren’t you loaded?
