Behind every deception, there is often another truth.

Yun Yang told him not to worry about what happened last night, and since he went to sleep early, he genuinely knew nothing about it.

Naturally, it was improper for her to ask about these matters in the presence of the Crown Prince. Every time she returned, the first thing she would do was check whether Zhao Yu was around.

The typical outcome of such a trope was usually that the supposedly useless new husband was actually just putting on an act, leading to a scenario where the protagonist thought they were marrying a good-for-nothing, only to encounter the most perfect lover instead.

"Stop the car, or I'll blow his brains out!" Xu Xiaoxiao said with a stern expression on her face, a chilling aura spreading around her.

Zhang Jiayue was the first to get out of the car and step forward to greet them. This time, she was accompanied by Qing Xiuyue and two other personal guards.

As they walked on, the soil gradually grew sparse. In the distance, structures built from a bizarre combination of sandy earth and bluestone could be seen.

Otherwise, if he had merely wanted to coast through the military and gain a veneer of prestige, he could have lived very comfortably just by leaning on his grandfather's reputation.

The moment Du Yunfeng stepped out of the Heavenly Thunder Sundries Shop, he suddenly felt a sense of being watched. He immediately released his divine sense and quickly locked onto the target.

Qin Miaoyin had not expected Jiang Baiai to show up. Looking further back, she saw Rong Yan approaching at a leisurely pace with an ambiguous, mocking smile hanging on his face.

In the past, they had let them off, but the result was that Lin Fu'er and Lin Lu'er were constantly bullied and eventually thrown straight into the pauper's grave.

Zongzheng Yue's eyes before him were bloodred; where was there any trace of his usual demeanor as the Crown Prince? Right now, he was like an enraged lion, baring his fangs and brandishing his claws, wanting nothing more than to tear the person before him to pieces and devour them.

Since they could have changed outfits right on the spot, why on earth did they have to make that pointless round trip just now? To go look in the mirror? →_→

"Do you want to make amends?" the old man asked, glancing at him indifferently. He did not speak, merely nodding heavily. Although he had no better solution, compared to the family's losses, this was naturally something he was unwilling to accept. Besides, this mess was entirely of his own making.

Upon seeing the hint written on that slip, she had come to settle the debt prepared to risk her life in return, only to find out that she was simply being asked to act as a temporary cheat code for a few youths ascending to immortality? Just like that?

What shocked Okazaki Yumemi the most was... the First Generation Lord mentioned by Nohara Misae—the First Generation Hakurei.

"Senior Brother, I am currently in closed-door seclusion. Please come back later," the fair maiden said coldly, feeling extremely uncomfortable. To be honest, she loathed this Senior Brother intensely, yet this fellow had never known the meaning of shame.

"Feng. I am pregnant; it's your child." Lu Xueer also looked over, driven by her desperate need to suppress Meng Xiao, and could no longer hold back her tears the moment she laid eyes on Ye Feng.

That person spat a mouthful of water into the eastern valley, and within a moment, a Azure Dragon and a White Elephant appeared in the air, performing a graceful dance. Then, two phoenixes and ruans sang to each other in duet, their voices clear and melodious.

This practically confirmed Ye Qiu'er's theory. After all, if there weren't someone of great importance hidden in this wine cellar, why would they assign guards to watch over such an ordinary cellar?

"Sir Magistrate, that wretched woman has already confessed her crimes and acknowledged her guilt. Why is she being put on trial all over again?" Hu Hua suddenly asked Le Tian from the side.

With a deafening crash, a mushroom cloud that blotted out the sun rose from the spot where the Devouring True Demon had been. The smoke and dust lingered for a long time, completely clearing the area within a ten-kilometer radius of the Heavenly Palace, leaving it thoroughly pristine. The Taiji core cooled down after firing the Star-Crushing Cannon, and the Heavenly Palace slowly descended back to the ground.

If the placement of the array flags deviated even slightly, the formation's effects would fall short of expectations, and it might even transmit subtle vibrations that could attract the attention of outsiders.

Amidst waves of amazement, Pavilion Master Zhuge Yizhen of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion also arrived at the pavilion, having somehow caught wind of the news.

A robust middle-aged man soared into mid-air, divine light seemingly shimmering around his entire body. With his every word and action, the clouds in all directions shifted.

Although Zhang Yifang was active on the internet from time to time, he only ever used a single Weibo account and never showed his face in public, whereas Zhai Tianming was someone who frequently appeared on television and online platforms.

This type of pill was expensive, and disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect were only issued one per month as part of their standard allowance, regardless of whether they were inner or outer sect disciples. However, inner sect disciples had the added benefit of being able to exchange extra pills using sect contribution points, a privilege outer sect disciples did not enjoy.

Li Chenqian gazed at the dense, spiderweb-like cracks continuously spreading across the firmament.

Although the Holy See wielded immense local influence, they had kept a low profile on a global scale for far too long.

"Hey, your exploits have already spread throughout the entire outer sect. Guess what people outside are calling you? They're saying the Nemesis of the Five Tigers has descended! Haha, the Five Tigers are in for some serious trouble now," Zhao Shuai said with great delight.

Zhou Xiao had already realized that while the rules seemed fair on the surface, they were actually tailor-made for the four sect leaders.

Even the garrison troops stationed far away at the border knew Chen Feng's name just from a single golden token; his renown was evident.

On the ground, four large black rats exchanged glances with their companions before all of them tilted their heads back and let out shrill, squeaking cries.

At this moment, the outer hall of the Seven Killings Sect was packed to capacity, with a full thousand peripheral disciples gathered here.

Back then, he had been the one driving the carriage for Shangguan Qianqian and Li Qifeng, and he was well aware of the relationship between the two. Seeing Shangguan Qianqian appear here now, he was instantly struck with astonishment.

Afterwards, he decided to assign the task of tending to the male patient to a promising young man. Originally, Han Guoqing had intended to give this task to another disciple, Gao Mingyuan, but the thought of Gao Mingyuan having clashed with Ye Fan previously made him decide to bench Gao Mingyuan, all to avoid causing Ye Fan even the slightest trace of displeasure.

Gong Qing smiled with satisfaction and said, "As brother and sister, you must have a lot to say to each other. Go on then." With that, she turned to head back to her room to rest, as if merely speaking for a short while had exhausted her.

Although Chen Zhifan did not know what had transpired during this period, he sensed that his magical power had increased considerably. Moreover, now that he no longer needed to resist the spiritual energy radiating from the old man at all, everything became crystal clear to him.

Yet Qing Ming clearly had no intention of letting the matter rest. Disregarding the injury on his head, he flew backward for a certain distance and charged straight at the lightning wall once again.
