Chapter 44: Big Brother Has Arrived
Seeing Mu Xingjue kick someone, Su Yao finally realized there was an outsider present and instantly grew a bit embarrassed, glaring at Mu Xingjue.
Mu Xingjue stepped forward, took her hand, and introduced, "My wife, this is Big Brother. He just happens to have some leave and came to see us."
Su Yao blinked. Wonderful, a social death scene. Meeting Big Brother for the very first time and being so hot-tempered right off the bat, her reputation in the Mu family was probably ruined.
"B-Big Brother," Su Yao instantly grew reserved.
"That old fox, Lord Yamamoto, chose to send you here primarily to use the honeytrap, hoping to seduce me into coming over rather than to tie me up and abduct me. Because he knows very well that across the entirety of Yamato, virtually no one can defeat me," said Mu Chendong.
Xie Tianhao had never anticipated that such a twist would occur. When his fist struck Chen Teng's body, it felt as though he were punching empty air.
Yet at this moment, when Zihan looked at that young man, his brows could not help but twitch slightly, because the youth before him was so familiar to him. Even when Qingluo looked at that youth, she could not help but feel a sense of astonishment.
Amidst the imperial succession struggle among the princes of the Great Wei Kingdom, the support of such top-tier experts was absolutely indispensable; otherwise, even if someone ascended the throne of the Emperor of Great Wei, they would not be able to sit securely.
However, under such astonishing gravitational pull, all the rare herbs and treasures planted across the entire Shennong Hundred Herb Garden began to break through the soil, flying in from all directions.
Zihan felt somewhat astonished, because the moment the aftershock neared him, he finally saw everything clearly. The aftershock rippled with a white brilliance, and amidst the intertwining of their aftershocks, the white light completely covered everything, obliterating Prince Tianmeng's spiritual energy on the spot.
Compared to yesterday, the number of people at the recruitment ceremony site was noticeably smaller, especially among the disciples preparing to take the assessment.
"Fine! Go register right now. For anyone willing to resign, we won't keep a single one, and you can process your resignation procedures immediately," Mei Ruoxi said domineeringly.
"Of course she wouldn't agree if you just asked her directly, but there's no need for us to consult her at all. In the boundless void, even if their strength is formidable, without us leading the way, they are no different from the blind. Everything is still up to us to decide," the gloomy man said dismissively.
Seeing this, Chen Teng's expression also turned solemn. With deep eyes, he looked at Chen Heilong while remaining fully on guard.
Ji Wuyou waved his hand, forcefully swallowing down the surge of sweet blood rising in his throat. He looked at Ji Chang with a gaze that grew increasingly cold and bone-chilling, before turning his gaze to the unbended and unyielding Su Han nearby, feeling conflicted.
Imperial Physician Xiao ate his meal while pondering; spring water truly was miraculous. Fortunately, he had secretly stashed some away initially.
He walked in the front with two guards following behind, while Dan Qingluo walked in the middle with two maidservants.
Nanny Fang was harboring resentment inside, placing the blame entirely upon Su Han in one breath. Su Han was simply too arrogant.
Shopkeeper Li feigned an expression of relief, bade farewell to the other three, and then walked out with A-Cheng.
Later on, the Emperor actually bestowed a marriage upon Qi Yao, having Su Han marry him. For those few days, Ji Wuyou took a leave of absence and did not attend court, sitting in place for entire days as his life seemed to return to its former solitude and ashes of the heart.
Especially since his primary energy recently had been focused on writing countermeasures for Yunnan's development and translation, he hadn't spared the effort for this.
Yet the moment her gaze brushed against those two familiar figures walking side by side not far away, she found herself completely unable to press down on the accelerator.
Hearing him put it that way, Tan Zili's handsome face instantly broke into a pleasant smile. He nodded at him, swept his hands behind his back, and walked out.
The sound of the bedroom door closing echoed by his ear. Rong Jin did not turn around; his gaze remained fixed on the cigarette between his fingertips for a long time, until the burning spark reached his skin, at which point he snapped out of it as if waking from a dream.
She knew nothing about Third Young Master Chu and Mu Li; if it were her, she would probably have the urge to rub salt right into Third Young Master Chu's wounds.
