Chapter 127

Wei Zhichen entered and looked toward the man seated behind the desk.

The man watched the departmental reports before him with a cold, handsome expression. Unable to suppress a chuckle, Wei Zhichen said, “It really isn’t easy to see you. You know your older brother, the legitimate son of your father’s principal wife, has returned, don’t you?”

Pei Qiaonian raised his eyes. “Mm. He’s back, so let him be back. After being gone for more than a decade, it was about time he returned. Did you come here just to tell me something so boring?”

“Tsk, as cold as ever. I came…”

At noon, Lin Cha slipped into Qin Moshang’s office and finally asked the question that had been weighing on her all morning.

After Lin Cha saw Lin Yang finish speaking with Qin Moshang, she deliberately slowed her steps until she reached Qin Moshang’s side. Then she quietly took his hand, her expression tinged with worry.

Chi Zao had never gone out to meet friends with Wei Xiao before. The first time she did, she discovered that Wei Xiao enjoyed teasing her for amusement.

Jiang Qiao’er stood dazed for a moment, her bewildered gaze drifting toward Aunt Zhen. Her eyes were empty, without the slightest focus.

Having eaten someone else’s food, he naturally had to put in a few good words for Wei Xiao afterward. If an opportunity arose in the future, he could seek to work with him again.

From middle school through high school, Chi Zao’s closest friends had actually been Xin Mian and Bi Shan. They were inseparable.

Lin Yang had always been soft-hearted toward Lin Cha. Although he clearly knew she had lied, he still agreed.

Her career plan was to become a fashion designer, and over the years she had indeed progressed very well along that path. She had won numerous design awards both at home and abroad. Once she graduated, she would be able to work as a designer for a leading fashion brand.

The atmosphere in the private room grew strange. Deng Jie and Yin Xiaoru exchanged a glance and said nothing more.

Excessive drug injections, erased memories, an utterly bizarre sense of identity, and the muscle memory of instrumental music and dance that had nothing to do with the process of her transformation.

That very night, Feng Tian left the island and plunged directly into the sea at its edge. What Feng Tian did not know was that his large-scale purchases of sea beasts with fresh water had attracted the attention of the person in charge of the island base. Yet when the island’s commander sent people to search for Feng Tian, they found no trace of him.

Even though he maintained a forceful attitude, his voice softened involuntarily when he spoke the final sentence.

“Boss, Patriarch Fu has entered the Sealing-Heaven Formation. Let’s withdraw. Once we leave the Fu family, we can send word to the members of the Blood Alliance. By then, our wounds will definitely have healed!” Blood Alliance Second said, his expression solemn.

Jun Bao thought it over and readily accepted. In any case, the two brothers had never intended to compete with Feng Tian for power. Otherwise, they would not have voluntarily relinquished control of the base.

Scotland looked toward Medusa. She seemed to have just finished bathing and was wrapped in nothing but a towel, leaving her beautiful figure completely exposed. Scotland did not dare look any longer and hurriedly turned his gaze away.

The Princess Consort had sacrificed so much for the Prince. She had even given him the world’s most precious treasure, Dream Soul, without hesitation. The Prince’s ability to stand here now was also thanks to her. Although no one knew why the Princess Consort had suddenly left the princely residence, had the Prince not come out to search for her?

The Nightmare Emperor’s cultivation had grown far too powerful, so his inner-demon avatar had become a completely independent mental entity. Moreover, because the Nightmare Emperor had been tormented so severely by his inner demon, he had severed it from himself entirely and sealed the inner-demon avatar inside the Tower of Purgatory.

He went in first, smashing straight through the door, while the Third and Fourth followed close behind. The others entered through the windows, catching the assassins completely off guard.

“I’ll follow Big Sister’s plan in everything!” Yan Ru answered with an exceedingly convincing “shy” smile.

The ghostly aura surrounding the Ghost Constable grew increasingly intense, making one’s hair stand on end and one’s heart turn cold. At the same time, Si Feng and Zhong Kui were staring directly at each other…

The atmosphere inside the room was extremely quiet. The only sound that could be heard clearly was the alternating rhythm of their breathing—each of them wholly immersed in their own thoughts.
