Chapter 051: Entanglements

Xu He looked at the woman before him in astonishment.
During the tea banquet, he had noticed that this woman was somehow entangled with the Prince of Jingyang. A myriad of thoughts raced through his mind, yet he dared not show even a fraction of them.
Thinking that she was, after all, a woman who should harbor some worldly reservations in her heart, he intentionally put on that posture to probe her. Once he managed to get a sense of her bottom line, it would be easier for him to act according to circumstances before the Prince of Jingyang in the future.
Never had he expected that she would completely disregard the worldly conventions that others treated as ironclad laws, and so sharply counter-

However, I had no intention of paying him any mind. If he wanted to watch from afar like that, I wouldn't mind, but if he tried to come up and pump us for information, I would simply tell him that Cao Lianghua had appeared to us in a dream and recounted everything; whether he believed it or not was entirely up to him.

His branch of the family only had the adopted Huo Xuetong, but his generation had numerous cousin-brothers, and the younger generation boasted countless nephews and grand-nephews belonging to the clan, scattered all across the globe, every single one of them accomplished.

Upon hearing this, Xianglong was stunned for a moment before looking at Melu, and said, "I suddenly have an ominous feeling. Let's go and take a look!" With that, he took Melu and walked far away.

That was true. Although he had been reborn, in his previous life he had only lived to the age of thirty-six. The experiences he had undergone in the new society were far inferior to the struggles of these old folks in the chaotic times; it was only natural that he couldn't measure up to them.

When Ah Xin perceived what Byron Bourne and the others looked like while they were still alive, his heart ached as if being sliced by knives, and he longed to throw himself upon them, weeping bitterly and saying he was sorry.

Hearing this, everyone looked over and saw that Gailuo had returned from somewhere. Hertos said, "Is that true? Thank you for telling me this. I'm going to go freshen up, and we'll see each other in a little while." With that, he stood up and walked toward the second floor.

Corina, who had remained silent the entire time on the side, felt somewhat depressed. This entire matter had been triggered because of her. Had it not been for her, none of these events would have ever transpired.

Looking at the uneasy Xianglong, Melu couldn't help feeling a trace of doubt, wondering if something had happened.

After the trials of life and death, the bonds among the few of them had grown profound. From launching a surprise attack on the fierce barbarians to stepping forward on their own accord to shield Shaoyan from the hostile challenges of his enemies, these people would remain inextricably linked to Shaoyan for the rest of their lives.

Perhaps his thinking was very simple: as long as he could capture Li Siming, he could force him to let them out.

Tang Bin, who was personally directing the battle at the front lines, was wounded, and the Qing troops fled in a panic after leaving numerous corpses on the mountainside.

It wasn't until late into the night that Sulan finished carving out the immortal cave. The entire cave could be said to have completely hollowed out the interior of the mountain peak, and its total area reached several thousand square meters.

Just as Wei Feng and his companion were about to walk toward the second floor, a sudden sense of foreboding welled up in Wei Feng's heart.

It was worth mentioning that that ancient mirror treasure was actually capable of refracting magical attacks and duplicating the opponent's divine abilities.

What shocked her instead was that modern human science could actually achieve a level so close to the abilities of mythical demons.

After finishing their meal, Neptune arranged for Rihao and the others to rest in luxurious quarters within the Dragon Palace. He also instructed that if they wished to go out and stroll around, they only needed to let his subordinates know, and he would dispatch people to act as their guides.

Leading them was a young man with yellowish-white long hair. He was lean and gaunt, dressed in coarse hemp clothing, with rather ferocious facial features that made him look like a vicious ghost.

"Since no one is making trouble anymore, I will continue with my speech," Rihao said, recalling all his weapons and defensive barriers.

He had coveted such a treasure pouch for a long time; both Ning Xin'er and Xia Rongrong possessed items of this kind, capable of storing a great deal of goods inside.

A round trip would take ten days to half a month, which was plenty of time for the prefect's men to go out and deliver the message.

Lin Feng had made thorough and adequate preparations well in advance for today's court assembly, and he had conducted detailed investigations on everyone present.

Yet there was none. Throughout the entire process, she made no movement at all, simply sitting quietly and letting her quietly comb her hair.

Afterward, the genuine Qi atop the silver needles surged into Malphite's body like a spring, flowing toward every single corner.
