Volume 1, Chapter 41: Welcoming Disaster Victims and Harboring Ulterior Motives

The person who killed her, Gu Qingcheng thought, should be the one who masterminded the man in black. As for why she was killed, it was likely an attempt to find a scapegoat.

Meanwhile, Ye Zi, who had fallen into a disadvantageous position in the fight, upon catching sight of an old acquaintance, maintained her defense without a single flaw while still finding the leisure to toss out a vulgar retort.

"Senior Fan, how about this? You give the Second Princess a Confucian cultivation technique so she can start practicing. First, to see if she is suited for it, and second, to make it easier for her to explain things to her teacher. What do you think?" Xie Guichen proposed.

"Send him to Zhongshan County. If he has any sense left, he should know what to do," Yuan Shao immediately ordered. There was still some time before spring, but during this period, he certainly didn't mind initiating a few skirmishes.

Once she was restrained, the ninja would have a hundred percent certainty of killing her.

The reporters instantly began chattering all at once, leaving Su Yi with dark lines across his forehead as he wondered what kind of nonsense they were spouting.

As soon as she stepped into Chu Mohang's room, Gu Qingcheng saw that both Xie Limo and Qingfeng were present, with numerous medicinal herbs laid out on the table.

The camps were mostly built along the rivers, on one hand to reduce the defensive perimeter, and on the other hand for convenient access to water.

Zhang Yan was also under immense pressure. If this continued and the two hundred thousand refugees turned into rioters, the entire Qi State would suffer a catastrophe.

Gu Qingcheng reached out, took the candy from Chu Ruoxi's hand, and popped it into her mouth. The candy was not overly sweet, carrying a rich and fragrant fruit aroma.

However, the moment Xi Tian reached the top of the stairs, she was intercepted by Xi Xin, who was walking up from the opposite direction.

Right in front of the main entrance of Namtso Scenic Area—the very spot where Molong and Tianpeng had been blocked earlier—the parking lot and wide roadway in front of the ticket office were already packed with all kinds of vehicles.

This also made their only foothold on the river surface much steadier, and the four warrior-realm martial artists followed suit, stabilizing the wooden planks beneath their feet.

Qin Ming and Zhang Zhilan also stepped forward, raising their bows and arrows to aim at the vital spots of the bald man. The bald man knew very well that his journey was ending here, and he could also tell that these tender youths were resolute and decisive individuals.

They always said that trees die when transplanted, but people thrive when they move. This bold move of his could originally be considered burning his boats behind him, but unexpectedly, things went very well on the plateau, and within just a few short years, he had acquired both a car and a house.

The monster walked up to Luoxi, first circled around her once, and then extended a tube-like appendage toward her.

He truly could not believe that the utterly mediocre young man before him was a legendary Martial Supreme. One had to know that even the master of the Bliss Sect was not yet a Martial Supreme. He had to admit that he was terrified, gripped by a fear that seemed to emanate straight from the depths of hell.

The waitress was stunned by the question for a moment before politely wearing a smile and saying, "I am sorry, Mr. Tang, I have been serving inside the private room all along and have no idea what was happening outside."

Lin Fanglan's defense of Xi Tian successfully caught Lu Fang's attention. Lu Fang had never expected that Lin Fanglan could be so righteous and place such deep trust in Xi Tian.

A sound echoed, and it was only then that Lu Yuan noticed another black figure appearing within the Divine Court.

"I am not talking nonsense, I like you!" Shangguan Yi said as she placed both hands on his shoulders, her gaze burning with intensity.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Gu Baiwan deftly dripped a cup of her own blood into a goblet and handed it to Si Xian. No sooner had she finished drawing her blood than Jun Yi'nuo resolutely stepped to her side, quietly pulling out a handkerchief to bandage her wound with a gentleness as though handling a fragile piece of porcelain.

"Big brother-in-law, you had better treat her well. Don't go pulling up your pants and refusing to acknowledge the debt," Yuchi Lingyun advised earnestly.

Ren Quansheng still seemed to have something he wanted to say, reaching out as if to call back Jingyi and Father An.

Just as Gu Baiwan finished tidying up, a long-unseen maid ran in holding an elongated brocade box.

The car came to a halt at that moment. It was a very quiet street, devoid of surveillance cameras and traffic, so silent that it felt as though they had stepped into another dimension.

This was the first time since his birth that he felt the terror of impending annihilation. This directly led to his subsequent attacks being filled with a world-destroying madness.

"I called it tea water, but since it's meant for Wanwan and Yanyu to drink, there isn't actually any tea leaves in it. Auntie, take some back with you to drink when you leave. On a day like this, nothing beats coming home from outside and having a warm cup," Han Yiyi said with a beaming smile.

"Many thanks, Your Highness." With those words, she gently handed him a cup of wine. Naturally, the positions of the two cups had already been swapped; although she had not shown anything on the surface, her peripheral vision had clearly noted the placement of both cups.

Lin Jingyi also noticed that those wooden logs had holes drilled into them. Had it not been for the grass added later on, they would have looked just like ordinary cattle pens.

Along the way back, Wu Hua kept thinking about his recent encounter with Wang Lingqing. He inexplicably felt that joining forces with Wang Lingqing was a true combination of might meeting might, and he knew that all his anticipations could become reality. His confidence grew immensely, and he knew that the day to prove himself was not far off.

Anyway, since he was willing to stay of his own accord, it was none of her business. Once he couldn't take it anymore and went back, so be it; if she said nothing, no one else would know.

"If that's the case, then Que'er is currently in a spiritual vessel form, which means Que'er can actually enter the seal of the Lingxu Space, right?" Hanyin Jing suddenly thought of this question.

"It's hard to explain in a few words. I'll talk about it when I get back; I need to go help Xingtian." With those few words, she prepared to leave, unaware that Princess Man荼luo did not know this departure meant she would not be returning anytime soon.
