Chapter 42
There was simply no help for it, as Lyu Xiang'er's official age was only five years old. If she acted too much like a "genius," it would hardly be a good thing for the current Lyu family. The very reason Lyu Tai's Fragrant Wine Workshop had fallen to its present state was precisely because Lyu Tai had drawn too much attention to himself.
Once the papier-mâché ghost's sorrow and hatred shifted onto other teammates, Youliang the fatty moved his shield aside and unleashed a flurry of chops with his mountain-splitting axe.
Early in the morning, Lyu Xiang'er, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the sound of the rain. Gazing at the drizzle outside the window, she immediately remembered that her older brother, Lyu Hong, was supposed to come home today. Yet with this sudden rainfall, she wondered if he would still be able to make it back.
In a single stroke, more than thirty Tatars and Mongol cavalrymen were left behind, along with quite a few wounded soldiers. It could truly be called a brilliant victory.
What if Fan Jian's strength surpassed Master Yi's? Can following Ye Tian be determined merely by looking at someone's current strength?
On the straight-line zone, Fantexi selected a spot for the next circle, but two enemies were already stationed there.
However, should he agree to the marriage alliance between the Zhuang and Yun clans, Emperor Tianshou also had his reservations. Zhuang Xiaoran was his empress, and Left Chancellor Zhuang Qin was the current imperial father-in-law with numerous disciples and followers, meaning the Zhuang clan already enjoyed supreme glory. The Yun clan was no different; not only were they the wealthiest merchants in the world, but they also controlled his personal shadow guard forces.
Faced with the changes in Liu Yiyi and the others, Tiansheng appeared completely unaware on the surface, but he had already quietly channeled his Heavenly Origin Qi throughout his entire body, his profound steel sword even faintly gripped in his hand.
In this day and age, divorce is no longer a major issue, and among the children of the provincial government and provincial party committee compounds, quite a few have gone through divorce. Furthermore, some unfortunate marriages are better ended through divorce to correct mistakes and cut losses in time. With life lasting only a few decades, a single mistake should not be allowed to punish one for a lifetime.
"My Xingluo disciples will undoubtedly seize first place," Emperor Luo declared, holding absolute confidence in Ye Tian.
Before everything was fully prepared, Jiang Chen did not dare to casually gamble with these feelings—because he truly could not afford to lose.
"Sister Zhang, notify the others to come over. We're going to play a big one this time, a full village mobilization!" Upon returning to Jiyan Village, Li Qingning could not spare a moment to rest, instructing Sister Zhang and Qin Yue to notify the villagers at home separately, focusing particularly on Zhang Yan and his group.
Yesterday, in order to sleep separately from Tang Chuyan and facilitate this morning's operation, he had asked Mo Ziyan to cooperate with him in staging a drunken act.
Xie Chengjing rubbed her head, then grabbed Gu Xiaowei's hand and pulled her along, completely disregarding the cast on her foot.
The next day, Xu Qianqian woke up even earlier than usual. Passing by Tang Chuyan's room, she saw the door tightly shut with her slippers placed outside. Figuring that Tang Chuyan had not yet woken up, Xu Qianqian softened her footsteps.
Through the memory master, Hu Huanyou had downloaded a portion of Baidi Shu's memories, gaining a certain understanding of that world.
"Then let me help you." Hearing her say this, Mother Ye felt rather embarrassed and joined in to help in the kitchen. Tang Chuyan watched the two mothers bustling about, feeling an extraordinary warmth.
Heaven knows how majestic and bone-chilling the aura emanating from Jing Yu's body was at that moment.
The counter of the God of Cookery Dojo was actually prepared for opening a restaurant in the future, so normally, aside from Qin Xiaoyan who kept the accounts, even Jiang Shi rarely went over, let alone anyone else. Everyone knew this place was responsible for storing silver, and anyone trying to get closer would truly have ulterior motives.
The school organized a physical examination, during which she was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and on top of that, she discovered her boyfriend was cheating on her with her best friend. All of these blows left her devastated.
"He was already captured on the spot in Hunan, and the Governor's Office has already had Governor Luo send him under guard. We will interrogate him in detail once he arrives to see if someone else was instigating him behind the scenes," Jing Shou replied casually.
Carlos and Nikolay stepped forward. Since they were freelance operatives now anyway, and so many of their comrades had been abandoned by the Umbrella Corporation, they wanted revenge, which happened to align with Terri's objective.
Yet, what remained unknown was how long such a promise could be maintained, and whether it could truly be sustained.
At that moment, Jiang Chen let out a deep shout and roar, stepping forward into the void. Raising his hand, he unleashed a single punch wrapped in dazzling holy white light that shook the firmament, whistling as it tore through the air with an unstoppable momentum to violently strike against the terrifying magic blade descending through the void.
Wu Chaoyong's first reaction was to send someone to steal it, but upon careful calculation, he immediately dismissed the thought—putting aside the fact that a secret memorial is extremely crucial to any official, making the possibility of success through theft practically zero, even if he actually managed to steal it, how could he possibly explain the origin of this secret memorial?
Even if there were doubts, they could only be addressed after the battle ended. This was a rule everyone knew.
Therefore, after such an incident occurred, Luo Yaoxiang naturally stayed behind in Hong Kong instead of going to the United States. Utilizing certain convenient conditions in Hong Kong, such as the internet lacking a firewall there, he single-handedly directed the entire event.
She knew clearly that even if she did not proactively tell her father about this matter, he would find out every single detail from start to finish. If she succeeded, she could make her father look at her with new eyes and win herself greater freedom and status within the family.
