Volume 1, Chapter 36: "The Master did not speak of strange phenomena, feats of strength, rebellions, or supernatural spirits."

Yuwen Wuji was utterly speechless. No sooner had he returned to the imperial palace than his daughter-in-law arrived to lodge a complaint with the Imperial Noble Consort. The Consort immediately came to him, hoping he would act as a lobbyist to reclaim that hot spring estate.

When a son causes trouble, the father loses face. Seeing the bitter expressions on the faces of the Imperial Noble Consort, his eldest son, and his daughter-in-law, he had no choice but to summon Xie Liewei to the palace.

"Father, I truly do not understand why we cannot let Xie Liewei return to Chenliu. Why must we let him remain in the capital as an eyesore?"

Yuwen Wuji glared at him. His foolish son could not even fathom such a simple issue, yet he still harbored dreams of becoming the Crown Prince! Years ago, the Xie family had ostensibly withdrawn from the imperial court, but the reputation of the Xie clan's academy had suddenly...

If I am to survive before the True Dragon Demon Emperor, the most urgent task is to slay more demons and monsters.

The surrounding chatter gradually reached my ears, though I did not think much of it. For now, I still feel that Song Xiaoning is the key opportunity for me to deepen my connection with Tan Shengnan.

Chi Haochen shook his chubby finger. He was four years old this year and had long known that his parents’ marriage was a family alliance and that their separation was normal. All he was thinking about now was, while his father was still quite handsome, finding a beautiful woman to bring home as a stepmother.

Since we are already using a lead sulfide infrared seeker more advanced than the prototype missile and still cannot achieve a frontal attack, it means the enemy's seeker is also incapable of it. He had a clear idea of the limits of the enemy’s analog circuitry.

Outside, Dao Ganmeng’s guards rushed in, seeing a trail of blood leading into the underground passage. They immediately entered the tunnel in pursuit.

Qin Xi said nothing, stored the dragon blood in his storage bag, and looked back at the despairing Peacock tribe.

"Commissioner Xu, what exactly are you trying to say?" Listening to Xu Shichang ramble on, Chen Yang was certain he wasn't just making small talk or singing his praises.

In that instant, Zhang Jiuyang felt countless frigid breaths surge into his mind. His soul was instantly frozen, leaving him almost no power to resist.

The ground beneath Yue Ling’s feet cracked open, and her figure lunged forward like a cannonball. The earth within a ten-zhang radius seemed to tremble, her momentum as fierce as an erupting volcano.

If her grandfather hadn't passed away, she thought the Ling family might have remained as glorious and peerless as before.

After years of painstaking arrangements, those schemes finally yielded their due reward, and two-thirds of the empire's power had fallen into his hands.

"What is it? Did I say something wrong?" Ye Tianyu asked, puzzled, seeing Lin Wushuang’s unsightly expression.

She couldn't help but frown. Now, she had no choice but to move forward; her retreat was sealed. If she did not break this formation, she would likely never be able to leave for the rest of her life.

With that, she hurried to keep pace with Xiahou Ce, wanting to comfort him. After all, what man doesn't like the company of a soft, fragrant beauty?

The cunning, treacherous old fox still knew nothing of what was happening outside. He merely gnawed at the steak in his hand while observing a map on the table.

Old Mother Yao sneered disdainfully. Nearly a hundred years old, what kind of genius had she not seen? In her eyes, there were no so-called geniuses in this world, only the strong.

Furthermore, it would suffice to have the students from the music and dance academies organize a few programs.

Liad had no choice but to go up. As for Punesidan, who was struggling behind him, he ignored him. There was one surviving team member still struggling; he didn't want to die either, but his boss had abandoned him. His fate ended there, yet his instincts remained, causing him to struggle.

"Ill?" Xiahou Ce’s gaze, sharp as a blade, pierced Liu Xinhe, the chilling intensity making her feel waves of pain.

Now that they had been reassigned to other military regions, if they served for a few more years, perhaps when the opportunity arose, they could be promoted to Senior Colonels.

After He Yining’s weak heartbeat stopped and restarted several times, the surgical team exchanged looks and decided they had no choice but to let Li Yunze perform the surgery.

Facts proved that thanks to Fu Cheng staying behind, the Yu family had indeed tried to scheme their way around, but upon seeing him there, they had scurried away, not even daring to make a move.

Ye Guilan felt her heart race. She remembered that Tu Sha had once produced a solid red beast ring, which seemed to contain something, but before it could emerge, it was destroyed by her father.

Sun Xiang rolled his eyes and didn't respond. Missing something? He Cheng wasn't a peanut; you were drinking just fine without him, weren't you?

After a moment of daze, Mother Qu finally regained her senses. She glanced at the two of them and then retreated with a smile.

Before turning away, Pang Tong looked at the White Thunder, which was rubbing its head against its mother. In that instant, the beast's pupils reflected Pang Tong, but the killing intent was gone from the thunder tiger. Pang Tong smiled and waved at his recent opponent as a gesture of farewell.

Before going to sleep, after Wen Qian had showered and returned to her room, Zhou Shilin called out to her as she passed through the living room. His cold voice sounded somewhat strained.

Like a ghost, he appeared in every corner of the battlefield, always ready to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

Afterward, the two did not speak again. Ling Aoxue did not know what to say to him. Should she thank him? But he was his sister, after all, and it felt strange to offer thanks. Thus, she chose silence.

He nodded and said, "I added a few out of curiosity, but none of them led to a conversation. I did talk a lot with a woman who works as a radio host."

She had completely forgotten the pain Jiang Kexin felt when she lost that child; the greater the pain then, the greater the joy now.

Listening to his flat tone, the corners of Xuanyuan Huo’er’s mouth twitched slightly. Ultimately, she pursed her lips in resignation and fell silent. Well, looking at his calm expression, it only made her seem like she was being unreasonable.

In fact, Qin Tiance had left only one survivor, though the man was left with only half a life. At first, the man in black gritted his teeth and refused to talk, but Qin Tiance did not need to trouble himself with such matters; Han Xiao had plenty of ways to deal with it.

On the way back, Ling Aoxue felt her wrist being gripped rather tightly by Xuanyuan Qingyu, tight enough to cause pain. She frowned, wanting to shake him off, but realized her strength was no match for his.

Baili Junyi felt troubled, inevitably thinking of the grand scheme the Tusu family had been arranging in secret for many years. Could this Gu poison be a part of it? If so, it was highly likely to be true. How would he and Ninghua coexist in the future?
