38 Getting Rich Overnight (2nd Update)

They did not strike immediately, choosing instead to wait for the investigative results from those they had dispatched. They were more intent on uncovering whether the person behind the scenes helping Yun Ran build momentum was trying to use her to disadvantage the Yun family. Yet, despite a long and thorough search, they found no one behind Yun Ran; instead, they discovered that she had established connections with the Zhu and Qu families. Just as they were preparing to dig deeper, they received a warning.

Wanyan A'lu, in a moment of crisis, ordered his men to sound the horns. Emerging from the fire, the Jin soldiers retreated into the already scorched forest at the sound of the signal. Immediately, they split into several groups, attacking Yang Kefei’s spearmen formation from various sides.

Zhao Tianming was somewhat surprised. He had not gone stone gambling recently, and had Liu Yiran not mentioned it, he truly would not have thought of it.

Not far from the core, a large quantity of building materials and magic crystals plundered from bandits were piled up. These would be needed later, and if any damage occurred to the city’s structures in the ordinary course of events, these materials would be consumed in advance to repair the fissures.

He began to introduce and boast about his Tianhong Auction House in a nonstop stream, his eyes fixed on the antique painting in Ye Qiushuang’s hands. The market for antique paintings was currently immense, making them one of the most popular art auction items.

"Archers, cover that area with fire immediately!" Seeing the expert Jin archers beneath the city walls, Jiao Ting shouted angrily. Under his command, the Leling archers unleashed a barrage upon the positions of the Jin marksmen.

Just as everyone stared in speechless shock, another thunderous explosion erupted in the middle of the ranks, where a large number of archers let out shrill, distorted screams, and panic began to spread.

Li Ye was focused on locking horns with the eunuch before him, never imagining that anyone in the Imperial Palace would dare to kick him in the backside! In this vast palace, apart from his Imperial Grandfather and Grandmother, no one dared to treat him this way.

He used a large leaf to rub his anus; the leaf was moist, and the itching sensation was no longer as intense as before.

"Hall Master Frost, we have brothers who have been injured!" At this moment, a lackey from the World Association stepped forward to report to Qin Shuang.

"Hmph... we shall see who has the true skill. But how can we determine which sword is the Peerless Sword?" someone asked, pointing out that all the longswords here looked exactly the same.

"Come out. You just want to see me make a fool of myself, don't you? Come out and watch to your heart's content!" Mino had known all along that Leng Yan was nearby.

Seeing that Chu Jiang realized his mistake, Xia Muhan merely snorted coldly and did not dwell on the matter further. However, at that time, Xia Muhan’s mind was entirely occupied by Lin Shuran and other affairs, so he did not notice the expression on Chen Zhe’s face.

Xiao Jingjing had been in a daze for two days, neither eating, nor drinking, nor moving. Nanny Zhao, Xiangcao, and Meilan were very worried and reported it to the Old Madam. Consequently, the Old Madam, the Second Madam, and the Third Madam all came to visit.

Thus, although the East City Prison was stricter, one could not survive there without money.

Xiao Jingjing said, "Mother." She had not expected her mother-in-law to stay awake and come over to check on Yan-jie'er. She knew her mother-in-law doted on the child, so her lack of sleep was not entirely unexpected.

These high-ranking and low-ranking officials flowed in and out; the high ones were fine, but she could not meet with the low ones, nor was there any need to.

Therefore, with the few "stumbles" Rong Tianche made, the first foot landed on Princess Rong’s wrist, and everyone present heard the creaking of grinding joints... The remaining kicks all landed on Princess Rong’s face.

As long as the green hills remain, there will be firewood to burn. After all, no one can fight against Heaven. The rise and fall of dynasties is the natural way of the world. If the Yang Dynasty collapsed, he would simply strive to become the next Imperial Preceptor; he had lived long enough to survive it all anyway.

Sophie retreated into the walk-in closet before she dared to exhale, grateful that Uncle Fu was not too dim-witted and knew how to act as if nothing had happened.

Hearing Qin Mu’s words, Su Ying, Tang Bao'er, and the others naturally had no objections and immediately took action, setting off shortly thereafter to fly toward the Canglan Sect.
