Chapter 114

Xu Yu took a deep breath. The reason Xu Yunzhuo had been abducted by human traffickers was all because of him.

It was his carelessness that led to them getting separated in the large shopping mall. It was entirely his fault. He was the one who caused Aunt Yun such grief that she fell into a decline, eventually succumbing to illness out of worry, which gave the elder Xu his chance.

He did not know if Aunt Yun Hua was alive or dead, but he knew her ultimate fate could not have been good. If she were still alive, how could the current Mrs. Xu openly serve as the mistress of the Xu household?

"No need, it was just a few words! As I said, consider it a senior helping a junior." Though Bai Fan said this, he felt a twinge of regret. Being worshipped by a historical figure was quite satisfying, but since he was in a brothel, he did not want to expose himself and become famous in such a place.

Lin Yi pulled the Bentley to a stop, then opened the door and stepped out. Tang Mengying followed him out.

Tang Mengying blushed, feeling a bit anxious inside. If this guy didn't leave, how were they supposed to come out? Were they expected to change clothes in front of him? Wouldn't they be seen by everything?

As Kang Yunxiao spoke, he tried to pull the bride up. When he gave a sharp tug to seat her, the bride's body suddenly slumped into his arms. At the same time, her head, still covered by the red bridal veil, rolled onto the bed, leaving only a headless corpse in Kang Yunxiao’s embrace.

After listening to Song Buyou, Tang Feng immediately guessed the other party’s intentions. It was nothing more than the cliché of using money to bully others and break up a pair of star-crossed lovers.

Li Huanhuan glared, wanting to say something, but after thinking about it, she realized that apart from fighting, there was truly nothing else she was good at.

The phrase "trustworthy allies like the Wei and Qin families" grated on Wei Xuanyuan’s ears in particular. When the head of the Wei family, Wei Konghe, had been critically ill and near death, it was Lin Yi who had stepped in to save him. Even though Lin Yi had demanded payment, the debt of a life saved was an undeniable fact.

In the world of cultivation, there was no pity. All cultivators fought and killed one another; such violence was common. A true annihilation of a clan meant sparing no one—not the old, the weak, the sick, or the disabled. It was a complete eradication, and compared to that, what Chen Fan was doing could be considered quite merciful.

Having been in this world for quite some time, Xiao Meng had now fully integrated into society. She was familiar with the term "alien," though she had previously dismissed such beings as mere fiction. Now, hearing it directly from Xiao Yang, she realized that aliens truly existed.

"Your Highness, what you are looking at now is more important. I do not wish to disturb you; I only wanted to see you," Karen said.

[Prime Minister] Liuyuan: Alright, if we can take the pass near Liang County tonight, that will settle it. We should be able to reach the city gates of Yingchuan County tomorrow.

"Yaoyao—" I shouted at him, but the rain flooded my throat, and the howling wind scattered my voice.

"Tell me, why are we actually here?" Although Li Feng acted as if he had the world under control, he was not entirely clear on why everyone had come to the Imperial Capital.

"I concede!" Although Wang Ping was extremely unwilling, he knew that as long as he lived, there would be another chance. He had to know when to bow his head.

"Haha, excellent! If this truly works, you will have performed a great service," said the Third Master, walking away in high spirits.

Jiang Liu, who had clashed with Fengyu Tongzhou before, knew very well that Young Master Ning was not someone short on money. This was evident from the way he had spent lavishly last season to defeat the financier of the Holy Alliance; his influence was clear.

Austin left with a few guards. Just as he had anticipated, Grey was waiting for him not far away.

The villagers had no concept of social distancing, and after staying there for a while, Song Qingyun and Du Limei were also affected by the atmosphere.

"This Wu Jiang, as far as I know, served as a steward in the Liu residence for many years. By the way, the reason the Prince of Shu moved into the Liu residence was because Wu Jiang was the cousin of the Prince’s military advisor, Hou Hui," Lu Xun said.
