Volume One, Chapter 49: Fu Juechuan’s Stepmother’s Schemes and Targeted Plots

Furthermore, the brother-in-law even discovered that many of the Zhong family's shady and covert practices might even implicate the brother-in-law himself. Once the Zhong family was allowed to continue unchecked, Military Governor Ye would not even be able to secure his own position, let alone talk about protecting Qiaoqiao. Therefore, Military Governor Ye did not show mercy to the Zhong family, especially since that previous group of human traffickers was also somewhat connected to the Zhong family. As the saying goes, pull up the radish and the mud comes with it. The various dark evils lurking beneath the Zhong family were enough to shock even Military Governor Ye. Ye Qiaoqiao thought for a moment and said, "I will continually arrange for people to keep an eye on Zhou Cong. The moment he breaks the law or violates discipline, I will be able to catch him. However, what I'm afraid of is that he skates right on the edge of the law to make a fortune and lives a carefree life."

"I was wrong, I was truly wrong!" Unable to bear the torment of the pain, Luo Yifeng broke down and wailed.

With his meticulous mind, Luo Yifeng knew that the eruption of this sword qi would not generate an overwhelmingly explosive force, so he shifted his spiritual consciousness and instantly made the vortex black hole in his chest manifest prominently.

Li Yaodong smiled. The tyrannical state of mind had already been provoked, and the pain in his right arm had already diminished considerably in his consciousness.

"Thank you." Wiping away her tears, she bowed deeply to Liu Le, feeling truly beyond grateful.

As for Qin Xin, who was standing at the very back, she clenched her fingers several times. Although she looked calm on the surface, it was evident that her heart was extremely nervous.

Originally, Fang Han was only pushing himself forward to complete the system task, but as he spoke, he himself became infected by the atmosphere, and his emotions were swept up in it as well.

Having lived for twenty years, she had ended up with nothing in the end, and no one was willing to love her. Therefore, she could not bear to ignore even the tiniest bit of kindness from others, desperately wanting to repay it.

The patient's son let out a sigh of relief, glanced at his old man, and thought to himself, See? I wasn't lying to you, was I?

At that very instant, the nine streaks of purple lightning vanished into thin air, but the shockwave from their annihilation blasted both Luo Yifeng and Suoxiang Gate several feet away from each other.

However, Liu Chenghe felt completely differently. He could tolerate being called ugly because people had discerning eyes and could see whether he was ugly or not. But he absolutely could not tolerate insults to his character, as that was something invisible to the naked eye. If everyone were to blindly listen to rumors and believe them, his reputation would be completely ruined.

Having said this, the Second Elder stared fixedly at the other party. Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, he understood everything in his heart.

"Ahem! While I certainly have no way of matching the power and tier of magic, if I want to, I can also possess six Heritage Magics!" Lan Guang suddenly chimed in out of nowhere.

The three of them were shocked. They had considered that the rewards might not be generous, but they never expected that not even experience points would be given.

Chu Zhongxing hurriedly went to support Li Yulun, yet Li Yulun knelt rigidly on the ground, exerting strength throughout his entire body, making it impossible for Chu Zhongxing to lift him up at all.

Thinking through it from every angle, Ye Qinghuan felt her head splitting with a headache, her state of mind fluctuating wildly and filled with apprehension.

Link's question hit the nail right on the head. Stark was the first to show displeasure, followed by Clint, who had a wife and children.

Only when it truly experienced Lin Fan's uniqueness would it wholeheartedly and devotedly follow Lin Fan until the end of time.

"Alright, alright~ What on earth are you guys doing?" Minerva walked over with a helpless expression on her face.

Of course, these were not even the scariest part; the most terrifying thing was that the moment prices fluctuated slightly, people in the market would seize the opportunity to hoard goods.

The black demonic energy was shattered by a single punch of his. Suffering the backlash of his own technique, Feng Yuan also coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, and his complexion turned drastically pale.

There was also swordsmanship. Elder Mu's Sovereign-Slaying Sword Technique had still not been completely created to this day, stopping at just six forms out of the whole. From this, it was not hard to imagine the immense hardship and extraordinary nature of it.

After having a full meal and drink, Chen Hu continued on his journey. He might not have the time or energy in the future to trek specifically for food, so he needed to prepare sufficient supplies at this moment to sustain his journey.

Unfortunately, this harmonious state did not last long because the most heavyweight elderly matriarch in the inner palace passed away.

"King Xietu, you..." King Hunxie jumped up in rage. Back then, he had patted his chest and promised to surrender to the Han court together, but now he was backing out. Even if they weren't going to surrender, if the Han army attacked, pulling out and leaving like this was simply too disloyal.

Fine! After acquiring the abilities of a Devil Fruit, other people would always rack their brains to develop their powers and make them as strong as possible. When it came to Ling Yun, things were completely the opposite.

A bitter smile twitched at the corner of her lips. Looking at the originally sacred hall, she found it somewhat glaring. Subconsciously, she wanted to raise her hand to block it, but instead she fell into a warm embrace. Turning around, she saw Su Wangge glaring angrily at Jian Mo'fan.

"I am filled with bitter resentment toward Lord Nobutora!" As soon as he entered the residence, the head of the Karakawa clan, Karakawa Sazaemon, loudly complained to Takeda Harunobu.

"Being able to spare a moment for the Emperor is also this concubine's honor and grace. It's just a pity that the Emperor won't be able to see Imperial Concubine Tian playing on the swing later." Empress Zhou secretly nurtured a trace of lingering resentment in her heart.

Therefore, all ten of them employed various methods to absorb the energy with all their might. The divine slave knights of the Divine Grace Palace even summoned their fierce beast companions to absorb the energy together with them.

Here, staying at an inn late at night was extremely inconvenient. Fortunately, the proprietress of the inn recognized them at a glance and enthusiastically welcomed them inside.

Ran Ming did not know how many workshops the Qin State had, nor did he know how many craftsmen the Qin State possessed, but he understood one thing: once the monster of capitalism grew, the corresponding working class should also obtain their corresponding political status.

Before Xilusi could say anything, the Undying Earthworm grew restless, reacting much more violently than before. At a glance, it was obvious it harbored improper designs on the Flame of Life.

Liu Yan'er was still the same Liu Yan'er: egg-shaped face, skin like congealed fat, brows like distant mountains, eyes as enchanting as spring water, every frown and smile surpassing Bao Si.

"Thank you," Cheng Huaiyi expressed her gratitude with genuine emotion, and then stood frozen in place, not knowing what expression to maintain—should she continue to keep her in-game persona, or revert to her real-life personality?

"That's more like it! Alright, let's head out too!" Having said that, Dong Hang led Dong Yin out of the large tent, and the scene outside the tent was bustling with activity.

This meant that the plans he had meticulously prepared during the game's pre-launch phase had to be scrapped, and now he had to forge a completely new path.

Wang Shouhu frowned, wanting to say something, but his body was already waving eagerly toward that direction.

A company currently being sued over ownership issues not only failed to secure bank loans, but no legitimate company dared to take it over either.

After a banquet filled with laughter and joy, the guards of the Shangguan and Xiao families dispersed one after another under the leadership of the two old men, leaving only Xiao Rubing behind.

How could the various generals fail to understand? Bob was just like his biological father—a shrewd businessman. Clinging tightly to His Majesty the Emperor's thick thighs, he presented every rare treasure he obtained to the Emperor, winning His Majesty's deep favor. Now that Bob was facing a threat, it was naturally impossible for them not to rescue him.
