Volume 1, Chapter 46: General Zhangsun
Over the next few days, Song Chenfei consistently remained with the members of the Ancient God Society. Through his conversations and interactions with these people, he successfully gathered a vast amount of intelligence and integrated it all together.
"Oh no, because of a moment of impulsiveness on my part, I've actually ruined a life." Thinking of this, Xiao Ruoshui felt a faint, inexplicable sorrow. Of course, had Bai Lei been replaced by anyone else, Xiao Ruoshui probably would have felt even more sorrow.
On either side of the plaza near the center stood two towering ancient trees. Bathed in the golden sunlight, the trees gleamed brilliantly, laden with unknown vermilion fruits that looked luscious enough to drip. Numerous rare and exotic beasts frolicked among the branches, occasionally stopping to eat a fruit when tired before resuming their play.
"Are all the people here your relatives?" Lin Yu remained silent for a few seconds, looked around at the people once more, and turned to ask them.
Tang Qing was stunned and perplexed, yet he had also heard that when cultivators encounter bottlenecks, they often make grand vows and accumulate boundless merit.
"They said that when the whip lashed against his body, it was soaked in a large amount of saltwater," Kailis said with a heart-pounding ache, blaming himself for his past decision, especially since Sonny had tried to stop him all along.
Among the socialites in the manor, there were naturally quite a few who had looked down on Feng Ruoxue in the past. Who could possibly harbor any goodwill toward someone who usually acted so arrogant and domineering?
The second day went quite smoothly. The specialist doctors at the municipal hospital had finished treating Jiayi's fractured arm, and she was ready to return home.
Apart from good looks, that actor had no other redeeming qualities. Once she left the opera troupe, it was questionable whether he could even afford to support her.
"There are differences, it's just that your understanding is still insufficient," Vito interrupted his rather unconfident remark without even turning his head.
"Brother Mancang, you have to share your most vital stock-trading experience," Da Niu seized the opportunity to put Yang Mancang on the spot.
Who among those present could fail to understand what he meant? The construction site was vacant right now; going there to look for evidence was clearly a thinly veiled excuse to deal with the two of them!
Hearing Chen Xuan put it this way, I only felt the fog above my head grow even denser. Up to this point, I was truly as clueless as a monk from Luohan Temple—completely and utterly baffled.
"Let's go down and just watch a good show," Tali also beckoned everyone to step down from the arena. His tone was extremely relaxed as he picked up the recumbent Situ Liang and walked down the platform with a chuckle.
It was not that they truly vanished; in fact, upon closer inspection, one could see the dark shadows transforming into a translucent state. In the dead of night, this state was almost equivalent to having an invisibility effect.
In the split second of Wenren Feng's astonishment, Han Feng had already caught up with the large piece of blue crystal still flying into the distance. With a single grab of his hand, he seized the crystal.
"I'll give you three seconds. If you haven't finished speaking by then, I'll break your arms and legs!" Sun Xi said casually yet with a bone-chilling iciness.
At least four obstructionists appeared, gripping short blades with eyes locked tightly on the two of them, projecting an attitude that if they wanted to pass, they would have to walk over their corpses.
This island was none of other than Chongming Island, where the river and the sea converged, their waters distinct in a two-tone contrast as clear as a painting. Yue Zhiyang could not help but think: No wonder the Salt Gang gathers here. As the currents meet, the river water turns salty and the seawater grows fresh, truly living up to the name "Salty River and Fresh Sea." If rivers can turn salty and seas can turn fresh, what in this world cannot be achieved?
Because the old lady ultimately knew certain things that we did not, even though she had snapped at me just now, I was still unwilling to provoke her. Therefore, I forced myself to endure it, saying nothing at all, and merely gripped the armrests of the chair tightly.
