Chapter 22: Daring Not to Offend the Future Boss's Lady

Yu Xiangsi sat beside Ji Jing, watching with cold indifference as Ji Jing forced Qiao Zhilin into a state of total humiliation.

After the meeting concluded, the hospitality staff from the Qiao Corporation arrived to invite Ji Jing to dinner.

Ji Jing declined, saying coldly, "It is getting late and everyone is exhausted. Let us all head home for now; we can discuss dinner another time."

With those words, Ji Jing was the first to walk out.

Since this matter was arranged by Kang Ruinian with the provincial department, Sun Dejiang’s involvement made perfect sense.

Waves of comfort surged through Ye Feng’s entire body. Through the "Water Flows Downward" technique, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth returning to his Golden Core had become incredibly pure and highly concentrated. Nourished by such essence, the Golden Core began to expand continuously, showing faint signs of cracking.

Climbing a cliff face while suspended in mid-air is never a good situation, especially when one has no idea how much distance remains below.

Yun Mengling’s physical body was gone; even if he obtained the most powerful spiritual treasures or immortal artifacts, he could not resurrect her. Now, the only method Bai Ye could conceive was to use the Mirror of Creation to traverse time and space, returning to a point before Yun Mengling was killed, to prevent her from traveling to the City of Evil Spirits and rewrite history.

After an unknown amount of time, the weightless Bai Ye heard the sound of the light wall shattering once more. He fell through the broken aperture, and as soon as he emerged, he saw a clear sky with white clouds, yet Bai Ye suddenly found himself suspended in mid-air.

Qiao Zihang had been driven out of the Yue family mansion by Yue Dingchang, yet Qiao Meijin remained silent; clearly, a major event had occurred within the Yue family. Perhaps Yue Dingchang was dissatisfied with Yue Liangcheng.

Possessing vast territories, a harem of three palaces and six courtyards, and beautiful women like blossoms, he could no longer find that original, sincere emotion.

What else could be done? Things had already reached this point, and he would certainly not make it to today’s gathering; he had no choice but to return.

When An Wu saw Ye Chen, she initially felt a twinge of guilt, but upon hearing Ye Chen’s interrogation of Hua Yi, she could no longer afford to care about such things.

It was not that he had intentionally avoided booking a room on her floor; it was simply because there were no vacant rooms left on An Yuening’s floor.

Yin Kuang had established the Blood Blade Sect deep within the Chongshan mountain range. It was a place of deep forests and treacherous terrain, inaccessible to the average person.

At this moment, Ji Ning was mentally reconstructing the layout of the white bungalow. From the main entrance to the sterilization zone, there was nothing unusual; only the experimental area contained a strange energy that suppressed mental power, preventing her from fully scanning the entire facility.

He buried his head in his work, finishing his tasks for the day. While the sky was still bright, he tucked away a few hidden rare chicken eggs, intending to go to the West Garden Market to trade them for some grain.

Yet, facing a third-rank powerhouse like Zhang Zhixuan, he dared not hesitate in the slightest, unleashing his trump card the moment the battle began.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Liang mused that if You Chengdong set out immediately after receiving his call, they shouldn't have to wait too long.

However, this was not entirely without benefits; at the very least, when Shrek made their entrance, there were far fewer boos and jeers.

Han Ba was a powerhouse who had existed since before the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. During the Great War to pacify Yongzhou, she had suffered a cultivation deviation and was sealed away in the forbidden grounds of the Dinghu Sect by the ancestors of the Ji clan.

Jiang Li looked up, his eyes reflecting the trajectory of the sword rain. Shadows of swords manifested before him, unfolding like a peacock spreading its tail, layer upon layer. The sword rain fell upon them with a continuous, clanging resonance.

Ji Ning did not care what he was thinking; her goal had been achieved, and it was the perfect opportunity to use the Huang family to test the depth of the Gu family.

Seeing the shock on Ji Hong’s face, Qiao Liang immediately realized he had to provide a reasonable explanation to ensure she didn't become suspicious. If she went home and told Chu Heng about this, it would be a disaster.

The summer night remained as tranquil as always. Under the serene moonlight, one could occasionally hear the faint chirping of cicadas, and a breeze carrying a hint of warmth brushed gently by, causing the dense leaves to rustle softly.
