Although the Royal Banner was important to Kui Tou, at the end of the day, it was still only a banner. Under normal circumstances, losing it would simply mean losing it. But he could not accept—or dare accept—the way it had been lost now. If word got out afterward, he would have no face left to continue in the promising profession of Chanyu.

The Worthy Consort had just thought that if Lady Jing used herself to force Consort Li to reveal Xiangxiang, as Consort Li had done, then the agreement between the three of them—mother and sons—might become useless. Xiangxiang would certainly rush out, not only for her own sake, but also for the sake of her former sister.

In the past, she had thought only of suppressing Lin Cangming and leaving the finest, most privileged life to her sons. But what had come of it?

“Get out of my sight.” Long Qianjue’s voice was dark and menacing. His eyes instantly turned crimson. Lan Ziyue was startled. Whenever Qianjue became angry, his eyes turned pale blue—so how had they become crimson now?

His waist had indeed suffered some injuries before, but after so much time, they had long since healed. His mistake had been made partly because he was afraid...

The moment Lan Yiyi saw Chen Guanqiu leave, she knew it was time to act. She immediately ordered Nian Pingchong and Long Qianyin to keep quiet.

I knew I could not keep it hidden forever, but in the end I still did not dare remove the veil from my face. It was as though the veil were my armor, shielding me. Once I took it off, I would be completely exposed before Sanbao.

Xia Mo asked with a hint of confusion. At a time like this, one needed to communicate more with Baby; only then would there be a greater chance of guessing correctly. Everyone understood that.

Shen Huocheng’s actions had now thoroughly crossed his bottom line. He had already resolved to kill the man, but given his own strength, restraining him would be no easy task.

Jing Xian wanted to speak but stopped herself. Yet after seeing Xiahou Fei’s serious expression, she finally sighed. Before leaving, she did not forget to instruct the second-rank maidservants on how to care for her attentively. Warmth rose in Xiahou Fei’s heart, and a relieved smile curved her lips.

Early on January 4, the entire Indiana Pacers team arrived at Miami International Airport. The moment the players stepped off the plane, they were surrounded by a dense mass of reporters.

Their return had completely cut off the escape routes of Zhuang Zhenshan and the other man. Capturing two Ming soldiers at least meant they would not be returning empty-handed; they could offer Prince Beile some explanation.

When Ye Qing emerged from the interrogation room, he casually glanced into the room beside it. As a suspect, Feng Zhiyong had already been placed in handcuffs.

“Prince Dami, the magical array projected here appears to have formed by capturing information that existed in the past, correct?” Kairi asked.

“Boss, who is this?” At the auction, Feng Zhiyong had seen only Lin Chi’s figure from a distance. He had known nothing whatsoever about the man’s identity.

The remark clearly had an alarmist tone. Its purpose was to frighten her plump son. Fortunately, it had achieved its purpose. Seeing that Ye Tian said no more, she grabbed him and hurried into the vintage car.

Chiyou fled to the edge of the wilderness, and the demonic blade cracked apart with him. His spirit had been damaged, and his strength had been greatly diminished.

Because it was difficult to escape, he would become even more cautious. Therefore, if Li Ying wanted to completely eliminate the evil spirit, she could not alert it.

Before this, whenever the San Antonio Spurs reached the Finals, it meant they would certainly carry home the O’Brien Trophy. A one-hundred-percent Finals winning record was something only Popovich’s team had ever achieved.

At that point, Empress Dowager Dou suddenly began to cough. As her chest convulsed, her entire body trembled violently.

Sun Ning seized the storage ring and, as though showing off, poured everything into the hall. The dazzling white immortal stones once again made everyone’s eyes swim. Naturally, not a single one of the five hundred thousand immortal stones was missing. With a thought, he moved all five hundred thousand into the mustard-seed world without the slightest hesitation.

Rong She truly could not help letting out a mocking laugh. Bai Dede really was something else—he guarded his food to an almost ridiculous degree.

As soon as lunch was ready, Song Beiyi and Ling’er returned almost as though they had been timing it precisely: one came back, while the other emerged from the spatial realm.

However, rather than calling this Royal Ark a boat, it would be more accurate to call it a coffin. Rong She left two observation holes above the forward wall of the vessel, cut the transparent “water-avoiding pearl” from Bai Dede’s Wish-Granting Pearl in half, and plugged the holes with the pieces, allowing them to make out the situation outside.

As Tang Ao spoke, he disregarded everything and summoned all the stellar essence within his body. He wanted to send it into Sun Bugua’s body, but no matter how hard he tried or what he did, the stellar essence merely circulated within him, refusing to help repair the injuries on Sun Bugua’s body.

“Thank you for your understanding, sir. Have a pleasant day, and we look forward to welcoming you again.” The server bowed slightly, then opened the door for him and watched him leave.

Zhao Bingnan finished speaking with a dark expression. Chen Lifen, who was sitting beside him, was also startled. It was the first time she had seen Zhao Bingnan so frightening—quietly driving the other person, step by step, into a corner.

Wu Yinan’s words gave Lan Yuyang a way out as well. Regarding the recording, Lan Yuyang repeatedly denied ever having said such things. But the facts existed all the same: she had indeed spoken those words to Wu Yinan that day. Though she denied them now, her heart was uneasy.

Tang Luoluo felt that such a potential rival must be the mastermind behind today’s rumor.
