35 Boyfriend

She once said that one should not seek many confidants, but rather refined ones; like the path of cultivation, merely filling the numbers has never been the truth.

The wind surged in, and as the five of them inhaled the fresh air they had been deprived of for so long, they were momentarily stunned.

One might even go a step further and speculate that it was no coincidence that the sorcerer, who bore such a striking resemblance to the Mountain Lord, had set his sights on the Lu family and Li Yanran.

He was a master of the Cave Profound Realm, holding a position of great importance within the Adjudication Division. Yet, the Temple’s hierarchy was rigid; since the Seat of the Oracle had made a decision, he dared not resist, nor did he even dare to voice a protest or argument. He could only clench his teeth tightly, submitting in silence as the Temple steward dragged him away.

The two had no time to ponder further; as the dust in the basement gradually settled, the tragedy that had occurred there in the past began to replay itself.

It was truly surprising. The factory was doing well and its performance was strong, so why was the director suddenly replaced?

The restorative power of the Immortal Tear Green Gold mark was nearly on par with the complete "Zhe" secret technique. With the blessing of these two great arts, coupled with the infinite supply of vital energy from the inner world, it could be described as absolutely terrifying.

Yet, to risk venturing into the glaciers of southern Li State might mean never returning. However, there was a chance of successfully obtaining the Life-Mystic Spirit Fruit, which could save Empress Li’s life.

As the crowd gazed up at Ren Pingsheng, drenched in blood, they could not help but sigh. He possessed the strength to pull up mountains and a spirit that spanned the world, yet alas, the times were against him.

Those from the Divine Realm naturally recognized the young man in white. In the Heaven-Reaching Divine Domain, who else could address Yun Yao as "Grandmaster-Aunt"? It was, of course, the Heaven-Reaching Sword Master’s disciple, the "Cloud Dragon" from the Wind-Tiger and Cloud-Dragon duo: Yun Conglong.

At her call, Rong Fan could not control his feet and walked straight over. With only one set of tableware available, he sat down in silence.

Gu Nanyin sat on the sofa, eyes closed, her fingers touching in confusion. Lu Qiran’s words made her feel increasingly guilty.

He granted Gu Mo’s every wish, willing to give her almost anything, yet Gu Mo remained unhappy. This terrible mood manifested in many ways—making unreasonable demands, becoming extravagant and wasteful, and growing arrogant, jealous, and irrational.

The soldiers, who had already realized what Huang Da was about to say and were growing increasingly tense, were momentarily stunned.

"There is." Mo Fengwu paused slightly, then frowned as if something had occurred to her.

Unless they were related, and if they were, Li Weiyin certainly could not employ Guo Hui.

Before long, Cheng Yunjing suggested to her parents that he take her out for a stroll. Panic-stricken, she tugged at her parents’ sleeves to signal her refusal. Her parents looked down at her, caught in a dilemma, and had no choice but to politely decline Cheng Yunjing’s offer.

Li Weiyin rushed over to find that they had quickly relocated their hideout upon discovering they had been exposed. They had not moved far enough, however, and had been somewhat caught in the aftermath, though fortunately, they had not suffered any serious injuries.

It is said that one does not strike a smiling face. Although Yuan Tiansheng and Mu Hongming were enemies, setting aside all else, their outlooks on life and values did not clash significantly. At times, they would chat so engrossingly that they seemed like old friends of many years, quite intimate indeed.

"I do not know the name of this poison, but I am very clear on the principles of its creation!" After collecting his thoughts, Nangong Yun began to speak, trying his best to describe it without using medical jargon.

Yueying Zichan was a soul-type mage, Mad Servant was a dual-wielding warrior, and Magic Thorn was a nature mage who specialized in poisons. To have mastered the profession of a nature mage to such a degree that special agents were tasked with closely monitoring him was truly extraordinary.

Li Hua’er could not even imagine how he had managed to return alive from a place like the Northern Three Passes, while under surveillance and with others trying to extract information from him.

"Then you should also know that if you do not help Mother and me, we will not abandon you either!" Xiao Yuxuan said sincerely.

A company that was gradually weaving itself into the lives of the citizens—or rather, a mega-corporation that was in the process of taking over the city.

Chen Sen’s expression couldn't help but reveal a hint of solemnity. Clearly, if he had not reached a point of no return, terminally ill and beyond saving, the old man would not be thinking only of seeing his grandson one last time.

To his surprise, instead of the brat lighting a fire on the wooden floor as he had anticipated, the fire was lit inside the fireplace.

Before she could see what was happening, a deafening sound of firecrackers erupted.

"Yes! Seventeen will keep Master’s words in mind!" The young man knelt on one knee, his lowered face flushed with excitement.

Coupled with his freakish memory, these things were essentially impossible to forget once they entered his ears; it was truly a form of torture.

But Wawa did not have his easygoing temperament. Her stance was that even if he didn't want something, it had to be because she chose not to, not because she couldn't compete with others and thus gave up.

Yet, she truly could not believe this possibility. What kind of person was Consort Ye? Could she not be clear on that?

He could see that Ding Fanying was mentally unstable and could hurt Luo Qiangwei or Sheng Miao at any moment.

The six people below Luming Terrace watched helplessly as Su Ruhui reached out to stroke the Prince of Chu’s arm. The Prince, who had been expressionless while facing them, suddenly beamed with joy, pulled the Su woman into his embrace with great intimacy, and even bowed to kiss her lips right before their eyes.
