Chapter 56 The Warrant

"Why are you here again?" Gu Hong asked with an unfriendly tone as she watched Xia Zechen push the door open and enter.

This was the first time she had seen Xiao Qingtong in a military uniform. Although Qin Li had always felt that Huaxia's grass-green military uniform looked too ugly compared to those of many foreign countries, she understood now that it was simply because the person wearing it wasn't the right fit.

"You guys made a bet?" Ji Lingfei asked in surprise. Was Xia Zechen pestering her so relentlessly just to avoid streaking?

A slender and enchanting figure leaped nimbly, moving as silently and mysteriously as when she arrived, passing through the Shangguan family's grand lethal formation, and vanishing into the Shangguan family's estate like a gentle breeze.

Locking the door, taking the keys, and staring blankly at the elevator's up button, Baihe suddenly felt that her life over the past period had been like a chaotic dream—a dream that should have been awakened from long ago.

Mo Shuixin smiled coldly, saying nothing, because deep down she did not believe for a second that her opponent could take her life. Therefore, what was the use of wasting idle words on him?

Luo Yiluo averted her gaze. She was terrified of the pureness in Jing Zhichen's eyes; his feigned innocence made her heart inevitably soften.

The moment the Prime Minister departed, I finally raised my head to examine the side hall. I saw that the entire side hall was adorned with golden decorations, with extremely high rafters. The surrounding furniture, however, was of a simple style. Although the wood was precious, no matter how one looked at it, it exuded a steady and composed air, entirely devoid of any ostentatious luxury.

Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, Luo Yiyi took a deep breath. The tears in her eyes had already dried; tears had long lost any meaning for her in her current state. She had warned herself over and over again not to cry anymore, forbidding herself to shed another tear, yet why did she always find herself crying whenever something happened?

However, facts proved that human thoughts can sometimes be truly naive and foolish.

Down below, the gazes of the Four Young Masters of the Heavenly Sword shifted from somewhat absent-minded to serious as they stared at Chengtian on the stage, seemingly wanting to carefully gauge what stage his strength had reached. After all, these four knew very well that Chengtian was not someone to be trifled with.

"What do you mean?" Sensing Di Yu's formidable power, the monster could not help taking a step back.

With the five clan heads attacking simultaneously without the slightest disruption and coordinating seamlessly with one another, blows trading back and forth, Chen Chen was left with no room to counterattack. However, with the Dao artifact folding fan in his hand, the five of them had yet to shatter his defense. Nevertheless, the moment his defense was broken would be the moment of his death.

Just then, two crisp clangs rang out as two flying darts struck the protective barrier and drove straight into it, yet they remained wedged in the barrier and could not penetrate any further.

"Orphans are definitely easy to find, you don't need to worry too much about that. The only problem is that these orphans have always lacked proper food and clothing, so their health must be terrible. How can you turn them into your assets? At that rate, you might as well just look for professional thugs," Yun Fei'er voiced her concerns.

However, the situation on the stage remained unchanged, and Xiao Yicai was now only twenty meters away from Zhuo Yihang.

Yet behind the high praise, there were also dissenting voices, as discerning observers could see that Lin Yu's victory over Zhou Feifei involved an element of luck. Thus, his ranking on the Heavenly Roll had a lot of artificial inflation, and when it came to a contest of pure strength, he might not necessarily be a match for Zhou Feifei.

Yu Wen nodded at Jie Lou to show her gratitude, and Jie Lou picked up the backpack on the table, turning to leave the train compartment.

Hearing this, the man's stern face softened slightly as he looked toward the mischievous child, preparing to soothe the latter's emotions.

In the end, 198 long swords were neatly arranged, suspended in the air inside the artifact-refining room. They were incomparably sharp. Yiyang narrowed his eyes and nodded.

Qing Lin's words instantly brought Zhu's memory back to that classic romantic disaster film.

Stepping out of the mechanism room, the three of them felt even the long corridor appeared unusually spacious, likely because they had been heavily oppressed by the previously modified rooms. Both Jun Qian and Qin Xiao wore faces full of joy.

As a chef, one is always the first to taste the delicacy. As a barbecue master, one must certainly sample the food firsthand. After all, level 4 or level 5 magical beasts were generally quite massive in size, so even if Hadley ate a few pounds of meat, it wouldn't be noticeable at all.

"Elder Zhang, does this machine show the patient's albumin data?" Ye Feng asked, looking at a high-tech instrument.

Jun Kuai had already realized that the two of them had easily escaped the sand pit, and naturally discovered that Jun Kuai had deliberately pranked him to watch him make a fool of himself. Thus, he simply stayed put and watched, letting the quicksand carry him toward the center of the sand pit.

Dian Wei's laughter drew even louder laughter from Xu Chu beside him; both of them acted as though they had just heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

Within the electromagnetic force field, numerous dazed soul bodies indeed appeared, yet there was no sign of Rossica.

"Bang!" A violent crash echoed in everyone's ears, and Mu Jianping was so frightened she didn't even dare to watch.

"How could this be? Could this be the Holy Land physical body of some Higher God?" The Great Wizard had already begun letting his imagination run wild.

Across the ocean, blade intent surged turbulently, blade momentum raged furiously, and blade force was vast and majestic. The tsunami threatened to tear apart the heavens and the earth, engulfing and swallowing all things.

In truth, just as they said, although none of them considered themselves kind people and all viewed themselves as swindlers, it was entirely driven by a sense of inferiority deep within their hearts.

"Prepare for battle!" At Du Yanhang's command, everyone readied themselves. The moment the enemy appeared before them, they would undoubtedly unleash a devastating onslaught without hesitation.

Before Hasegawa Shugo had a chance to ask Yana anything, he saw a wyvern appear in the sky that was even larger in size than Yana. Furthermore, much like Yana, this wyvern was completely black in color.

"So what if I know? So what if I don't?" Sang Jinyue smiled and drained the tea in her cup in a single gulp.

Elder Yun was momentarily stunned. Look through all of them? He had over a thousand designs here; could she possibly finish looking at them all? Besides, these designs wouldn't even make sense to anyone who wasn't a shipwright!

Her expression was so rich; had anyone been observant, they surely would have noticed her abnormality. However, those people were currently embroiled in heated arguments over recent events—where would they find the leisure to pay attention to her? They simply left her to let her imagination run wild.

Su Luan shook her head with a smile. "How could that be? Don't overthink it. I was merely saying how carefree we were back then. You weren't the Prince of Liang, and I wasn't Su Luan. People are always like this—when they have something, they yearn for what they might lose, and when they have lost it, they endlessly reminisce about what they once possessed."
