Volume 1, Chapter 43: Could It Possibly Be Chu Lingtian?

(1/3)
"What do you mean?"
However, faced with Chu Lingtian's interrogation, Jiang Rulong wore a puzzled expression, completely unaware of what he was talking about.
"Wasn't it you?" Chu Lingtian paused momentarily.
"What was me?"
"Kidnapping Jiang Wan in order to force me to submit. I was wondering why she hasn't arrived yet," Chu Lingtian explained.
"What did you say? Wanwan was kidnapped?"
"You suspect I did it?"
Jiang Rulong quickly reacted, "No matter what kind of person I am, I would never stoop to such despicable acts!"
Although Jiang Rulong did not consider himself a good person, he disdained such low-handed tactics as kidnapping, especially when it involved his own granddaughter...
Normally in such situations, she would act as a bystander and remain silent. Today, firstly, Qinghuan was by her side, so she felt no fear, and secondly, she was currently just a baroness, unlikely to attract anyone's attention.
"What are you thinking about?" A seductive figure slowly approached, leaning lazily against the translucent palace wall, gazing out at the outside world with her.
Roar! Jiang Ning let out a roar unlike that of a human. This roar carried an intensely strong excitement, as well as a battle intent that seemed capable of piercing through the nine heavens.
"Why didn't you call me?" Tianjiao got up, but Murong Chong stopped her. "It's snowing heavily outside, you'd better stay in bed. Yesterday was your grand ceremony as empress, and it was fine to tire yourself out a bit then, but starting today you must properly recuperate your body. Don't think about anything, just eat and drink well." Murong Chong's gentle smile warmed the heart.
"Let's not light a fire; it won't provide much warmth anyway and might draw unnecessary trouble. Everyone eat some instant food, climb up the trees to rest, and stay alert tonight," I sighed.
Looking at the map, the two places weren't far apart, but the actual travel time required was quite substantial.
Seeing Man Jing and Qiao Xianyun, the two of them greeted them with smiles and then sat down together to prepare for their meal.
He Rong had originally been very happy to see her eldest brother, sister-in-law, and their family arrive, but the scolding she received from her brother right upon meeting dampened much of her initial joy.

Of course, Wang Yong would not interfere in a low-tech world, because to him in such a world, he was merely an observer. Even if a horrific, merciless massacre were to happen right before his eyes, he might not make a move, since according to the original timeline of that world, he lacked the capability to intervene.
This response caused Qinghuan's tense expression to crack slightly. She remembered setting up a barrier, but during the period when Azi threw a tantrum and her powers were sealed, she had been unable to maintain the barrier, and later, she truly forgot about it. Given the acute hearing of those subordinates, without even asking, she knew they must have overheard everything.
Seeing the greed in those people's eyes, her expression sank completely, and her gaze swept across the few individuals who had just tried to persuade her.
When Ye Ping'an turned serious, he still possessed quite a bit of deterrent presence. Feng Yucai aggrievedly shut his mouth and said no more.
After it, domestic historical dramas fell off the ratings "pedestal," with subsequent works mostly lingering in a state of having critical acclaim but no popularity, gradually fading out of the ranks of hit dramas.
Later, recalling the nine-tailed fox mentioned by the old eccentric, he left the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda and headed to Zuo Feng Mountain to look for Li Xin. Along the way, he made inquiries and finally reached Li Xin's dwelling, only to find the courtyard covered in dust and long since abandoned.
The producer wanted to gloss over the previous incident and act as if nothing had happened, but Si Mu refused to grant his wish.
Channeling the divine technique within his body, Ye Ping'an struck out with another palm strike. This time, he increased the power, unleashing the second form of the Heaven-Veiling Palm: The Eyes Unobscured by Heaven.
Thinking he would first clarify the situation before deciding, he hadn't expected these alien practitioners to launch an encirclement against him without a single word.
Wen Zijiang still did not know that her conversation with Wen Ning had reached Gu Yan's ears, and she looked with full black lines at the "uninvited" Dr. Liu standing before her.
That being said, Xu Cong genuinely intended to live a steady, peaceful life after marrying Liu Wan. He had originally fancied their family's influence and wealth, figuring that he would never have to worry about a hard life in the future, and might even spare a little charity for Qin Xianglian so they would be grateful to him.
Though many domestic directors were cursing inwardly, quite a few others had accepted this reality.
"People are coming, stop fighting." Pulao wiped the blood from his hands and said softly. Moonlight spilled over him, casting an eerie, bone-chilling whiteness.
It was obvious that this fellow had betrayed the Blood Alliance. "You have betrayed our Blood Alliance," Xun Li said to the mastermind with a tone of hatred.
This was a residence provided to them by a Japanese boss working in Phoenix City. Guarded by numerous bodyguards outside the door, it could be described as both comfortable and safe.
As soon as the words fell, the sky instantly turned pitch black. Even with the strength of people like Li Xi, they could only see things within two meters of themselves.
While waiting, Fei Ye suddenly felt the back of his head struck by something. He turned around and walked toward that direction.

Ling Jiantong was feeling troubled when the sudden halt of Situ Chen's footsteps instantly snapped her out of her thoughts.
Liu Fei immediately walked into the bedroom, brought out an item to hand to her, and then told Liu Yulian to leave with her.
Furthermore, during the rainy season, rainwater would converge, and the drainage would be far inferior to that on the mountain ridge. Moreover, coming and going would not only be muddy but also prone to leaving clues.
Meanwhile, those Blood Alliance disciples breathed heavily, crystal-clear tears constantly swirling in their eyes.
At that moment, Jing let out a breath of relief. A smile gradually appeared on his face—an untimely smile.
Qin Feng had been sent by Qin Tianming to continue protecting Su Shanshan, and Qin Tianming had already arranged for her marriage certificate to be processed.
The atmosphere was also lightened, and the crowd was amused by Zuo Quan's pleading appearance. Right now, all they could do was pray.
"I'm sorry, Yuejian loves eating this, and I forgot to save any for you." Helian Shen turned to look at Meng Que, only to find him holding out a wine cup.
Several infants circled around him and then prepared to climb onto his body to devour his vital essence.
Fighting a Primordial General-tier opponent with three Primordial Scholar-tier fighters was naturally extremely strenuous. Although the three-person bandit trio didn't possess great talent, they still had some genuine strength.
Qiu Mi couldn't help sighing, reminding herself not to be too greedy—how could both rare medicinal herbs happen to grow right here in this mountain?
"This set of acupuncture techniques is extremely powerful; it has the ability to make flesh grow on bones and bring the dead back to life!" Wang Shan said excitedly.
Under these circumstances, Ye Zhen, as a newly arrived junior martial uncle, wouldn't be able to monopolize all the power; on the contrary, senior brother Fu Su's side was slightly strengthened instead.
