Chapter 53: Even His Confession Is Unconventional

Jian Tang silently closed the door, yet her heart remained unsettled for a long while.

I wanted to calm myself, so I tried to think of a few excuses. But to my surprise, I could not find a single reason he would accept.

Yet she would never say it aloud, because she was afraid that once everything was laid bare, even these small acts of atonement would be gone.

I once promised Zhang Yingying that one day I would let the whole world know she was going to become my wife.

Soldiers, too, came in all ranks. He wanted to test first what kind of soldier Guan Yu could train, so he did not intend to spend too much money in the early stages.

I was surprised that he had taken the initiative to bring up the matter. Shen Linfeng generally refused to mention people or things he disliked in front of others.

Seeing Xiong Da and the men under him, it was not difficult to tell how shocked they had been by the news.

“May I ask what abilities the island master possesses? Could you teach me?” Xuan Potian stared at the Solitary King and ventured the question.

Xuan Potian’s longsword suddenly flashed into motion. It seemed to transform into a sharp arrow, slicing through the air with a piercing whistle as it thrust toward the Solitary King. Xuan Potian had indeed suppressed his strength to the initial entry level.

He was the dignified eldest young master of the Li family, and every time I came to see him, he personally came out to receive me. In that regard, he truly did well.

Perhaps out of consideration for all the years the empress had worked tirelessly managing the inner palace without committing any errors, and because the First Prince still bound them together, the emperor could not bring himself to kill her cleanly and decisively.

They had seen villas this large before. As a construction crew, they had done every kind of work. But those villas had belonged to other people and had nothing to do with them. This was the first time they had entered such a spacious and magnificent villa as the friends and family of its owner. They had never viewed or felt a place from such a perspective before.

She had sensed something wrong with him just now and rushed over in such haste that the lantern, battered by the surging seawater, had by now been reduced to little more than a frame.

After Manman told her how the other man had spirited Yueyue away to Xuanling Hall, her admiration for him grew even stronger. She really had not misjudged him. What even Mo Qianhan could not accomplish, he had managed to do without anyone noticing. Had he not come from such a background, he would have made a name for himself at court long ago.

Everyone craned their necks, and when they actually heard such a statement, an inexplicable anger suddenly welled up in the hearts of the common people.

“Seventy years! Xiao Lian, you have gone too far!” Sheng Chuyi pointed at her, light surging in his hand as he attempted to force her into human form.

From the memory of the lean man, Su Chu learned that this person was the leader of the Black Demon Sect. Three innate martial artists and dozens of elite disciples followed closely behind him.

The soldiers changed into new uniforms and armor on the spot. They were equipped with everything from swords and spears to bows and crossbows—armed to the teeth, one might say. Even the infantry of the garrison did not have equipment this fine or this complete.

Lin Qingyue noticed that he was staring at her hand without moving and began to hesitate. Could he really be disgusted with her to such an extent? Thinking this, she decided to withdraw her hand. Yet just as she was about to do so, Gu Nanxuan had already taken it in his grasp.

Lu Qingze carried the food to Madam Lu’s room, while Su Mo carried the food into Su Ailian’s room.

At the time, he still retained a little of his consciousness, and he heard Gu Song say that if he died, he would kill the girl who had come with him.

But even a one-in-a-thousand chance was far too high for Mo Feng. Once the product was launched, hundreds of millions of people around the world would use it. How many cases of skin hardening would that cause?

Ling Han could not help sighing. If he had known this move would be so effective, why had he gone searching through ancient ruins for a way to become stronger?

Jiang Chen did not move. Instead, he directly dispelled the simple Shape-and-Intent Transformation technique and returned to his original appearance. At the same time, his hand suddenly shot toward the black-robed figure, drawing the man straight toward him and seizing him in his grasp.

I said nothing. In my heart, I had a hundred arguments denying her ideas, but I did not voice them. I simply did not want to speak with someone like her; we had not a shred of common ground.

The people lying on the ground had lost all ability to fight. Each of them was struggling merely to protect themselves.

On the new day, Zhu Houwei rose early, practiced a set of punches, and worked up a sweat. There was no helping it—the weather in the capital had grown hotter and hotter, and by noon even the most prosperous districts were noticeably quieter than usual.

This time, she saw it more clearly than anyone else: at the critical moment, her mother had truly broken with her.

Before Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda lay two contracts. Both were block contracts. Apart from Wu Mengda’s remuneration being several tens of thousands higher than Zhou Xingchi’s, they were no different from ordinary contracts.

In any case, a genius like Zhang Feng absolutely could not be allowed to fall so casually. Otherwise, it would be a tremendous loss even to the entire Yaoguang Sea Region.

All right. It seemed asking for the house number was getting nowhere. For all they knew, the old man did not even know the number of the house he lived in.

Unlike in his previous life, Jiang Che now had a summer vacation before entering university. Unfortunately, it seemed there was not much time left.

Wu Xi had used it before because he possessed a way to recover afterward. But he knew very well that ordinary people simply did not know how to recover in that manner.

Chen Yuzhe in particular nearly rushed over to kill Tang Li when he heard those words. But just as his foot moved, he remembered that this had happened before.

The key point was that Cao Ning had once disappeared for nearly half a month. Although she later explained that she had gone to Gela Village in Fancheng, and it was confirmed that she had indeed gone there to visit some impoverished university student, did visiting a poor student really require staying there for half a month?
