Chapter 149: Forced to Bow His Head

"Stop talking nonsense. Go play by yourself and stop wandering around in front of us. I refuse to let my family bear the responsibility for the words of an old woman like me."

It turned out that all the things she had done in the past had long since been exposed, and she had been directly betrayed and backstabbed by someone.

Qi Mei had packed plenty of money and brought bank cards, wandering outside for two or three months. Jin Yuan had constantly sent people to follow her, ensuring his biological mother's safety while also confirming that someone was indeed pulling strings behind the scenes.

Yuan Yao'er never expected that one day she would actually see those hacker organizations straight out of movies—bald heads, dark sunglasses, black suits, and black shoes.

...

"It seems the Feng family's lineage is destined to end." That icy voice carried not a shred of emotion. The snow-white satin billowed with every step, stirring up a current of chilling air.

"Old senior, this here is the absolute strangest of all the freaks and oddities I mentioned before. I dare say his swordsmanship talent is not a whit inferior to yours or mine. My brother, Zong Yang," Mu Tian said proudly.

With her back turned to him, Yao Qingmu naturally could not see that faint smile blooming once again on that utterly flawless face.

After he had gone down for quite a while, enthusiastic applause suddenly erupted from the audience. Even Susan, who had always maintained a deep dissatisfaction with professional soldiers of this sort, found herself growing excited at this moment.

It seemed there was no other choice left. Time was running out, and even if Su Haoran was a hundred times reluctant, he had no choice but to take this on as a military mission.

A subtle sound suddenly came from the back of his head. Qin Shang acted as though he hadn't heard it at all, his gaze dropping slightly lower, his body remaining in the exact same posture without moving an inch.

Before she could think much further, she heard the content of their argument. From their quarrel, she learned that Yuxuan was a child of the Zhu family and the younger sister of Zhu Lingzheng. However, how could she possibly believe such a thing?

Zong Yang had originally intended to set up a barrier, pinning his hopes on holding out until the three great saints arrived in time for reinforcements. Hearing such a question, a glimmer of hope sparked in his mind.

"Alright, Yuanjun, you can come out now." Estimating that they must have cleared the outer gate, Murong Feiming turned his head slightly and called out toward the wall.

Ahead lay what seemed to be an endless expanse of grassland, where cattle and sheep grazed on the green pasture. She lay quietly on the grass, gazing up at the blue sky, her thoughts reaching no further than daily food and warmth, living a life of carefree ease and romance.

"What!" Enyu let out a startled cry. Just moments ago, it had clearly looked as though Ye Yu was about to fight a decisive battle with her, but why on earth would this guy issue such an order at the most crucial moment?

"Wow!! Boss, you actually have a skill? When we came to the Primordial Realm, we didn't learn a single thing! Fighting monsters is always a gamble with our lives!" Rijiu said with envy.

Long Ling's expression instantly shifted, and he looked solemnly toward Bai Zhantian. He was well aware of the opponent's formidable strength at this moment, but he wondered what kind of effect it would have if a peak ninth-rank Qi Saint powerhouse were to strike?

Xi Rong climbed up through her tears, "My Lord, this concubine... this concubine thanks Your Lordship for being so reasonable." How could a bride enter the household already with a child? If she truly entered the household with a child on day one, she would be drowned in a pig cage.

I thought about it for a moment and then roughly recounted my experiences to her, naturally including the time we shared. I figured this was also an opportunity to let her know about everything that had once existed between us. I felt I had to make it clear to her, as this would also be crucial for her safety; otherwise, she could be in danger at any moment.

There are already very few people practicing martial arts nowadays. With you coming in, isn't this diverting my students? Besides, with the reputation of the Huaxia Martial Arts School hanging there, opening a martial arts hall right in the local area—isn't this slapping the Huaxia Martial Arts School in the face?

Before Tang Jian and the others could react, Tang Qiu's cavalry was thrown into utter chaos by the sudden, sweeping gunfire. The entire cavalry unit plunged into disorder, and the tragic scene of men and horses trampling one another played out continuously.

"What on earth should I do then? The power of the Great Dao has been swallowed by that thing, so how am I supposed to achieve True Godhood?" Chen Feng asked anxiously, panic in his voice.

At a time like this, let alone him, I wouldn't care about manners for anyone, nor would I take him seriously. Who cares who he is?

Captain Hobbes's words elicited rounds of cheers from the crew aboard the ship, and some were even moved to tears. It was partly in honor of Ishmael's heroic feat in saving them, and partly in tribute to the old captain's noble character of keeping his word and maintaining his integrity.
