Chapter 52: Proving One's Innocence
"Steward Li, please go to the vegetable market and look for a plant with leaves like this. I remember seeing wild walnut plants on the edge of the market before; they bear pink flowers and look extremely pretty."
Shi Qingqian said as she placed the leaf onto a handkerchief, wrapped it up, and handed it to Steward Li so he would have a reference.
"I'll go myself. With Nannan at your house, I'm afraid she might cause trouble," Meng Fan said, following the man who had come for him to County Bar.
When Tong Shuang arrived, she heard that Madam Wang had been frightened into a faint and was resting in the inner room. Ye Luying did not know how to deal with these people, so she murmured a recitation of "Amitabha" and retreated into the room as well, refusing to come out.
She wondered, could Tong Shuang really have figured something out? Right from the start, she had assumed Tong Shuang was not a formidable character. She never expected that up until now, Tong Shuang would remain silently in the background, yet every time a heavy storm was about to arrive, it was more or less tied to her.
With all five spiritual powers present, the Five-Spiritual Sword carved out a domain, protecting Mo Fan within it. No matter how fiercely the dozen or so Profound-stage spells bombarded the barrier, it remained as unshakeable as a mountain.
Liu Tingting, who had been knocked unconscious by the Thousand-Faced Vixen, was immersed in a tender and affectionate dream. In the dream, she was tightly embracing and kissing Xiao Yunfei, who was outrageously handsome. Xiao Yunfei was whispering sweet nothings into her ear that made her blush, bringing her immense joy and causing her to hold him even closer.
The Sea of Sand Secret Realm opened once every ten years. Not only did the top ten fighters on the Southern Moon Kingdom Martial Academy's Heaven Ranking participate, but martial academies from other kingdoms did as well. Naturally, the students entering this time should have united and helped one another to resist the participants from other academies; it was precisely under this pretext that Fang Hansheng had deceived Lin Qingxuan.
Viper sighed. He likewise did not understand, but what did it matter if he didn't? It was nothing more than a battle; this fight was unavoidable anyway.
Seeing him act this way, the others grew furious. Everyone had contributed their efforts, yet without a single word of discussion, he had gone straight ahead to snatch the prize for himself.
In an instant, the surroundings became a vast expanse of white, filled with churning fog and haze that blotted out the sky and sun, making it impossible to see one's own hand in front of one's face. Chiyou seized the opportunity to make his escape.
The entrance was currently in utter chaos, and Ye Xingfeng truly dared not take that risk. Glancing sideways at Xue Tian, he let out a heavy snort, revealing his dissatisfaction with him. For some reason, Ye Xingfeng always felt that Xue Tian's gaze towards him carried a deep, ingrained hatred.
Just right, Linran was still short of a few points, which he could obtain simply by killing the Frenzied Ghost, and then he would be able to unlock his domain.
However, he paid it no mind. For one, he had no intention of having any dealings with a hedonistic disciple like Feng Li; secondly, this was a society governed by the rule of law. So what if he had money?
A battalion's worth of troops was left at the front, with the mission of pinning down the 350th Regiment and covering the retreat of the main force.
He had done everything that needed to be done; now it remained to be seen how things would unfold afterward. But no matter what, he could not allow this world—or rather, Huaxia—to fall to its original fate.
Earlier, she had used insulated gloves to block the electric eel's electricity, and she could sense that the eel had indeed expended a great deal of effort. However, that electricity was not being absorbed by the insulated gloves. After pondering for a moment, Hua Wenyue decided she must find a way to draw all that power out. If she could use it to advance her cultivation realm, she would consider it pure profit.
"Could it be that Lin Chen is using some method to awaken him?!" At this moment, Martial Attendant Wu Xue uttered a judgment that left people gaping in astonishment!
A punch like this, whether in terms of fist intent or momentum, was something he had never experienced before. As far as this single punch was concerned, Jiang Chen had completely shattered all of his illusions.
Linran's energy was indeed limited at present; he could not possibly allow too many people to enter his dimensional spacetime mirror, as that would consume far too much in terms of points and energy.
Although she did not receive ultimate confirmation, a strong intuition arose in Hua Wenyue's heart: this Holy Son might have deliberately sought her out using this opportunity as a pretext. As for the two Liu sisters, they were likely just an excuse he had fabricated.
