Chapter 46

"Actually, I came today with absolute sincerity. I am here to invite you to join our Masquerade Organization. This is your first and only chance." After saying this, Steward Zhou's gaze became exceptionally calm.

Yi Yun knew that Teacher Sun must have guessed that he was the man with the red-dot mask, but he did not deliberately try to defend himself or conceal it.

This quest in the game requires defeating three alien robots, as they patrol around the designated drop zone.

Now that he had successfully advanced to the Dharma Earth Realm, Cheng Xin no longer hesitated, his thumb gently rubbing the spatial ring worn on his index finger.

Once the formal audition began, under the watchful eyes of Director Zhang, the producer, the art director, and other senior members of the production team, Guan Xiaozhen tried her best to showcase the fruits of her recent training. Yet, being scrutinized by so many people, she still could not help feeling somewhat nervous.

Regrettably, last night, the headquarters of the Anti-God Society was discovered. They paid the price of near-total annihilation just to allow Zhao Yanran to escape, and she was ultimately rescued by Lu Yuan.

Defeating Yan Ruxin was not difficult, but if he were to win, it would only cement his persona as a bully and instead highlight Yan Ruxin's spirit of standing up against tyranny.

As if some terrifying super cannonball had detonated, a storm composed entirely of flames raged across the plaza, and numerous navy soldiers were burned to death directly before they could even react.

What would he do after accumulating sufficient strength? Even Ian could not say for sure what kind of earth-shattering feats he might accomplish.

The ensuing battle could be summarized quite simply: Feng Yutang tried every possible means to close in on Hu Yi, while Hu Yi used all his skills and maneuvers to prevent Feng Yutang from getting near him.

"Could it be that Madam Gan has truly sought Consort Xu as an helper? Yet, in terms of both talent and appearance, Consort Xu is far from the most striking. If Madam Gan wanted assistance, I'm afraid she looked in the wrong place. Consort Hui and Lady Ruan would have been much better choices," Yunxi said, somewhat puzzled.

Listening to Zhang Juan speaking to the Empress Dowager in a labored voice, Huo Qingxie's gaze involuntarily grew somewhat colder. Seeing this from the side, Su Ruhui noticed that the handkerchief clutched in Huo Qingxie's hand seemed to be gripped with fierce force.

When this passenger ship reached the shore, our group boarded. Once inside the cabin, I saw Ye Feiji sitting leisurely, enjoying two plates of pastries.

Previously, she had told Lady Xiang that his identity could not be exposed just yet, as Lady Xiang still needed to rely on him to gather intelligence from the Men's Courtyard.

At this very moment, it was shortly after dinner. Many families had come out for a stroll or to visit the night market. Naturally, the personnel from the Five City兵马司 (Garrison Command) were also out on patrol. At this hour, the patrolling efforts were quite substantial.

Those around who had initially harbored rebellious emotions also stared wide-eyed in the direction where Gangzi had vanished, falling silent. Once sent flying like that, could Gangzi possibly fly back?

Last night had been utterly disastrous. The spot Qian Shu'yu pointed out indeed had a carriage, but who could have expected that the draft horse was rather unruly? When a stranger tried to lead it, it stirred up a commotion, which unexpectedly attracted the pursuit of those assassins.

Yunxi looked at Moyan, while pondering the Emperor's words from earlier, coupled with the fact that he had called out her name before losing consciousness that night... All of this truly made Yunxi feel a sense of curiosity toward the night. Moreover, Yunxi knew that since the Empress was gone, this inner court would never remain forever without a new empress.

Apricot trees are among the most salt-alkali-resistant fruit trees. Furthermore, since they also bear fruit, it can be considered killing two birds with one stone.

If back then, she had not taken a fancy to this country bumpkin, had not taken a fancy to this useless man, with her status and beauty, she could have married into a prominent aristocratic family in the capital! Perhaps she could even have become the consort of a prince's estate or entered the palace to become a imperial concubine.

Subsequently, the three of them boarded their respective vehicles, drove to an intersection where they parted ways, and headed toward their respective homes.

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed somewhat heavy, Yang Mi hurriedly exchanged a glance with Zhang Yixing and quickly left the office.

At first, one could only see bare trees everywhere, and as they ascended higher, the mountain paths were covered on both sides with accumulated snow.

Yet Lin Qiyang's palm was like an iron clamp, firmly keeping him under control, and he simply could not break free.

Zhang Yixing took a shovel and dug for wild vegetables nearby—shepherd's purse, knotweed, purslane—digging up whatever he laid eyes on, and before long, he had filled a large bag.

Not only that, besides Bajiquan, Wu Yu was also proficient in karate and reportedly versed in other martial arts styles as well, though the exact details remained unknown.

Yu Jinming flipped back and forth through these few photographs before handing the mobile phone over to the old lady.

Zhang Yixing returned to the kitchen, skillfully building the fire and heating the oil, flavoring the wok with scallions, adding water to drop in a batch of noodles, and finally cooking a poached egg.

They all knew that had they not been lucky enough to find the escape exit at the critical moment, the outcome of their future would be unpredictable.

His father, having suffered a severe shock, hastily registered their marriage with his mother, making them quintessential representatives of whirlwind marriages in the 1980s.

"Who on earth are they?" In the distance, Bijishi muttered to herself as she watched Wang Zhipeng and the other two.

"You shouldn't be too nervous either. What's done is done, and it's something that cannot be changed, so you might as well just set your mind at ease," Shen Yun said, unable to stop himself from showing concern as he looked at Lin Xinying's expression.

Upon that scarlet-colored back, a gigantic white tiger continuously lashed out with both paws in a frantic attack against him. After tearing off a chunk of flesh with its massive tiger jaws and swallowing it whole, the scarlet figure's aura showed signs of fluctuating instability.

"This is no longer a secret either. The Heavenly Continent's sacred artifact is called the Dao Divine Sword, and the Yellow Continent's sacred artifact is called the Ancient Saint Seal," Tianxiong explained.

By this time, they had firmly resolved in their hearts that even if they reached the Western Regions and encountered members of the Xie family, they would no longer harbor any lingering attachment, for that place had already become a matter of the past, a bygone era.
