Volume 1, Chapter 45: The Little Imperial Uncle's Charm

Immediately following that, Xia Jiahou repeated Huang Jiani's explanation. He made it sound more vivid, with the intention of untying his son's emotional knot and letting him understand that Huang Jiani had no other relationship whatsoever with that person, and was merely probing to ascertain the reality and strength of that uninvited guest.

Afterwards, he alone, at the cost of sustaining heavy injuries, dared to hunt down three renowned immortals from the mountains, four martial artists, and a sword cultivator renowned for possessing the greatest lethality.

Seeing this god-like man at the engagement banquet left her deeply shocked, while the scene of Xia Shuaishuai getting injured that occurred during the banquet caught her completely off guard.

"How can a real man have no ambition at all? You need to have aspirations and grand goals; that is what a corporate leader should look like," Tang Lianchen said to Huangfu Mingyu, who appeared somewhat retreating.

Comparing the medical prescription inside with the one he held in his hand, except for an extra medicinal herb on his own sheet, the rest were completely identical.

Yun Qing looked at her with eyes even brighter than before, filled with obvious admiration. It was only after a moment of hesitation, prompted by her master, that she bowed and thanked Ye Jinhui.

Just as Liu Jiaxin was busy, her cell phone suddenly rang. Liu Jiaxin was in the bedroom spreading new bedsheets and hadn't come out yet to answer the call.

"An Yi, go see what Lianyi is up to first. Sneaking around to watch an ascension grand ceremony—if someone mistakes her for an assassin and captures her, it will be quite troublesome." Although Li Sui did not know Lianyi's intentions, she likely wasn't an assassin.

Han Jinzhu brought humiliation upon herself, her face turning as dark and unsightly as it could possibly be, stopping just short of slamming the table and walking out.

Perhaps drawn by the allure, Lü Tao's gaze fell back onto the glass of wine, suddenly feeling that it carried a poignant, weeping undertone.

"It doesn't matter." He did not offer much explanation. Or rather, he did not wish to bring up past events.

In her anxiety, she remembered Zhuge Xin and asked her for help. Zhuge Xin got in touch with Xue Da, the captain of the Public Order Brigade of the Quyuan County Public Security Bureau. Through Xue Da's introduction, Zhang Peng and Miaomiao met, chatted for a few minutes, and exchanged business cards.

What else could you possibly say? He was a man with an angelic face, and everything he did seemed to leave you completely defenseless. She confessed that at that moment, she truly lost her resolve and simply sat down to eat right there.

She had originally thought she would feel deeply heartbroken and angry, but at this very moment, she didn't have those feelings at all; instead, she felt that everything was profoundly ironic.

Hearing those words, Wen Youyue mechanically forced a smile, but as she smiled, she realized how bitter the corners of her lips tasted. She truly didn't know what to say; no matter how hard she tried to conceal it, the trace of loss in the depths of her eyes remained impossible to hide.

On the night the data was revealed, he invited Feng Aihe, Wang Guisheng, Wang Zi'an, and others to dinner. During the banquet, a sense of disappointment slipped from him.

Therefore, no matter how Qiao Yunuo acted or what she said, Tang Xin never took it to heart to feel it, but instead relied on the impression Qiao Muya had molded for her to subjectively judge Qiao Yunuo's character.

Was Jiujianliu still locked in the celestial prison? Although she knew there must be a trap in Tong Tianxin's words, Hua Lingluo immediately began calculating how to rescue Jiujianliu.

A smile spilled from Gu Tong's lips. He had no idea whether anything genuine could truly be discovered in this place, but the matters at hand were still able to naturally form all sorts of connections.

Over here, the dragon was thrashing wildly beneath the crimson light of the red lotus, while Dawn drifted forward, grabbed the Fire Element Stone in one grasp, and stowed it away. Only then did the surrounding flames instantly extinguish, leaving behind a lingering warmth that was no longer so tormenting.

Madam Feng was startled, lowering her gaze to see that it was Zhou Chengzong, extending his emaciated arm to tug at her sleeve.

"Regardless of whether there is or isn't, is President Chen's charm ever something to be doubted?" Xu Fengping, acting as a close sister in private, pressed down on Chen Shuang's knee, her eyes conveying that there was no need to get angry with such scum.

Pity the poor Bai Shengyu; he had turned into someone who mistook a good heart for malicious intent—like a dog biting Lü Dongbin. Almost everyone was spurning him, condemning his foolishness and ignorance, making things agonizingly difficult for someone who had cared so much for his well-being.

Wang Wei's attitude earlier had given them zero face, so throughout the meal, as long as they remained here, Mei Hong and Zhang Peng naturally could not eat in peace. Having the opportunity to make them utterly uncomfortable was, of course, a welcome prospect.

"Actually, the one I want to fight is not you, but the person behind you!" the Fire Moon Glazed Spear said once again!

"Humph..." Qingque was caught off guard and struck, letting out a muffled groan before being driven back, a flushed hue rising across her face.

Unexpectedly, before Lu You could react to the skepticism, the person who had spoken blew their top and directly revealed their true identity.

Eshgui took a slap, but aside from eyes full of fury as he glared viciously at the two of them, he dared not make any other move. He knew he could not afford to provoke Meng Qi right now.

It was a large sheet of sixteen-mo paper, covered in scribbles that looked like ghost talismans, filled with drawings that Zhang Qiang couldn't make head or tail of. Furthermore, the paper was of inferior quality, resembling the cheapest, most wretched kind of toilet paper—neither distinctly yellow nor white, and frankly even worse.

Every day, Cang Yun drank and made merry with Hao Jianwei, Yang Shenglong, Boss Ma, and others, their bonds growing deeper by the day. Boss Ma felt all the more fortunate for having chosen the right faction.

As the auction was about to begin, the entire auction venue was packed with not a single empty seat, boasting a crowd of forty to fifty thousand people.

After all, only Pig Thirteen possessed the Dragon Tooth Fragments and the Soul Bead, so he naturally had to consult Pig Thirteen.

"They're finally here." Zhao Wuji calmly watched the vehicle convoy, the crosshairs of his sniper scope locking onto the cockpit of the lead vehicle, watching the convoy drive forward.
