Chapter 23: Turning Their Own Methods Against Them

Murong Residence. Murong Xue’er clenched her delicate fists, and unknowingly, a bead of cold sweat traced down her forehead.

At this moment, she was indescribably anxious.

Chen Yang was her benefactor, and she could not bear the thought of her savior dying before her very eyes.

“Father, please, think of something! Save Chen Yang!” Murong Xue’er’s face was etched with worry.

...

This time, it was Di Natale who came to take the corner kick. He cradled the ball, wrapped it in his jersey, wiped it thoroughly, and then placed it carefully on the corner spot.

When Chen Haoxuan returned to Chen Family Village, he noticed the villagers looking at him oddly. Upon asking Chen Yina at home, he learned that the Xinshan City TV station was broadcasting news about Liya’s car accident. Since Liya’s death might be related to him, the coverage had lasted a long time.

“There’s enough time. I’ll finish this task first, and then see if I can exchange for the Ten-Thousand-Year Nether Ginseng at the trade meeting.” Sun Yi was delighted; he hadn’t expected to receive two pieces of news about the Million-Year Nether Ginseng today.

“It’s just a few foolish thieves who ran out of money, teamed up with several workers from the construction site to steal steel, hoping to sell it for some cash. Do you really think there’s any deeper story?” Lin Muyu would never tell Qian Duoduo the real reason, so he made something up.

“I haven’t been busy lately, so I’ll stay a few more days. How about a week?” said Chen Haoxuan.

The blind diviner seemed to sense what Ye Xian was thinking. Seeing Ye Xian fall silent, his face, weathered by years, suddenly displayed a profound and enigmatic smile.

Simply climbing up and sprawling on the ground for detailed investigation was enough for Su Yishui to handle; she’d only completed the general overview, and hadn’t even touched on the finer details.

“It’s not that I won’t tell you, but I’m afraid the truth would frighten you. Besides, knowing our identities wouldn’t benefit you at all—it would only bring endless trouble. So it’s best you don’t know. Now, just tell me: will you give it or not?” Black Rose said.

“Chen Haoxuan, please take me seriously. I’m not joking—I really mean it. I’ve liked you for a long time. Will you be my boyfriend?” Zhou Kexin said with heartfelt emotion.

Xiang Nan’s heart suddenly tightened, a spark of lightning flashed in his pupils, and he gazed toward the shadows. What he saw there left him utterly stunned.

There was no news of any major club hosting a gathering today. Even if there were, none would dare to do so at Shen Garden.

At his current stage, he could only speak this way. No matter what he said, it would be wrong; so, he could only persevere, for persistence is never a mistake—otherwise, it would be utterly overwhelming.

Song Jin Yan spoke with utmost sincerity. If Shen Mu Ting pursued the matter, Nan Xi would be in great trouble.

He never expected Ye Yun’s disguise skills to be so remarkable—able to impersonate anyone at will.

The Round Table Knights of Country Y had always been closely allied with the Holy Light Church. After the church was destroyed, they cooperated with the Dark Church, but remained highly vigilant.

Elder Wang was deeply shocked by these words. Could Ye Yun’s strength already rival the seventh level of the Transformation Realm?

Regarding the issue with her foot, she hadn’t even mentioned it to Tang Mengying, so Lin Yi couldn’t possibly have learned it from her—let alone her menstrual cycle. Did he really see through her at a glance?

At some point, the soothing music in the hall had faded away. In the blink of an eye, the conversation between Chen Hong and Xu Ying was heard by everyone present.

Looking at her right hand, it bore entirely different content: it was mysterious arts, explaining the equivalent exchange between magic stones and fruits.
