At this thought, Li Xiao’s gaze turned cold. Was someone from the base using its name outside to commit such acts?

At present, they could hardly wait for the four Su sisters to drive Su Ming out of the Su family. Then they could settle both their old and new grudges at once.

Xie Yuan’s voice held a trace of indifference. It was unclear whether he was speaking of himself or of Su Miaomiao and Lu Ziang.

Judging by these people, they showed not the slightest excitement or urgency—not even any delight. Instead, they were hurrying to assign blame. Their attitude was truly strange.

Not only did she know to disinfect the residence, but she also knew to open the doors and windows while doing so, lest anyone inhale the fumes and damage their respiratory tract.

After graduation, she joined the Qin family’s company under the family’s arrangements. Starting from the lowest position, she earned a little over two thousand yuan a month.

Though Ji Wanrong harbored some doubts, she also knew that this was no place to linger. Once Mo Jiecheng returned to the Cold Prince’s Residence, she would show him the scar on her arm and ask him about it. Then everything would become clear.

Her medical skills were astonishing, and together with the white coat she wore, they gave her an entirely different air. She was still cold, but she no longer felt the same as before.

Most importantly, Qin Mo had finally figured out the standard by which the system calculated its rewards.

It was not as though they had never faced enemy attacks before. Yet even Zhang Xutuo, a renowned general of the Sui army, had been unable to breach the very first pass.

Mei Mo turned and nodded at Leng Yu, her eyes telling Leng Yu that she knew which things to bring.

Listening to Zhu Bi, Mu Ximei collapsed heavily into the chair. Her eyes stared vacantly at Zhu Bi. How could this be? Why had this happened? Why had she once again hurt the people around her without even realizing it?

Infected by their emotions, Liang Jiaxi’s eyes also grew moist. He felt even more guilty over his father’s collaboration with Pei Junhao to crush the Mu family.

It turned out that as soon as Pei Zhiqiang had left the house that day and gotten into the car, he had called Pei Junhao and said that he would never bring Dudu back for a meal again—it was too infuriating. When Pei Junhao pressed him for details, Pei Zhiqiang refused to explain. He angrily hung up, and when Pei Junhao called back, he said only, “Go home and ask your wonderful wife!” Then he hung up again.

He responded to her kiss, lifting a hand to cradle her icy cheek. Even the breath she exhaled seemed to carry a thread of cold air. His mind was in turmoil, yet he was powerless to resist her alluring charm.

Wu Hai truly had Li Daniu’s best interests at heart. Gao Jun had originally asked Li Daniu to receive the inheritance, but after hearing how dangerous it was, Wu Hai had taken it upon himself to refuse without Li Daniu’s consent.

Bi Zhu broke into a smile through her tears. Seeing that her mistress had finally pulled herself together, the maid naturally felt happy as well.

The moment those words left her mouth, Leng Yu burst out laughing. But when her gaze turned toward the doorway, her face stiffened slightly. She quickly regained her composure and calmly watched the Fourteenth Prince freeze in bewilderment upon seeing Mei Mo standing at the entrance.

Seeing that the time had come, Bude leaped into the air from the roof on his side, intending to catch the people on the opposite roof off guard. Unfortunately, before he could approach anyone to carry out an assassination, a cold arrow struck him, sending him tumbling downward.

After looking at Han Xian’s body, which now resembled that of a demon god, the system assistant immediately and decisively surrendered. Integrity was utterly unimportant in the face of survival, all right?

Xie Yunfei swept the Human Epoch Spear through the air. Flames flickered around him, and nine fire dragons seemed to coil faintly around his body.

Shen Cong had already crossed the middle of the bridge, but the green color once again spread to his waist. His white bones had long since turned green, and once again Shen Cong found himself unable to move forward.

Wang Shizhen saw that the pill had no effect whatsoever on Zhang Yang. With a roar, he pressed his palm against Zhang Yang’s back and circulated the immortal essence within his body, sending it into Zhang Yang to protect his heart meridians. Yet Wang Shizhen discovered that Zhang Yang’s heart meridians had already been shattered inch by inch, leaving no possibility of protection.

“I never imagined that Fellow Daoist Zhang would be so familiar with this old affair from years ago,” said Master Xude in surprise.

Lu Zifeng looked at the person beside him with emotion. Their friendship truly revealed itself in such a moment of danger. Without a profoundly deep bond, who would be willing to risk their life and rush forward?

It seems this senior sister does not know my background. That is only natural. Aside from winning first place in the sect competition a century ago, I have not had much contact with the others in the sect. It is perfectly normal that I remain unknown.

Seeing that the other party had not directly stated the name of the person they were waiting for, but had instead asked him to give his own name, Tianping narrowed his eyes. This child was no simple character. He actually knew how to test him in this way, rather than stating the name outright and leaving Tianping to confirm it.

Under the watchful eyes of countless disciples, the thousand-zhang ice fist collided violently with the ribbon of vital force, producing an earth-shaking boom.

The Pofeng ship, already caught in the center of the vortex, plunged straight toward its depths and was instantly swallowed by darkness. Waves of startled cries rang out from the ship. Fortunately, some cultivators remained steadfast and refused to give up. They poured all their magical power into the protective restriction, preventing the shield from breaking and keeping the surrounding seawater from flooding into the ship.

“Yes!” Fairy Youyue had no choice but to comply. She always felt that the Ancestor’s attitude toward her was somewhat strange, entirely different from the way he treated Lu Binglan and Ye Ling. He seemed to be reprimanding her in the tone of an elder, as though deeply dissatisfied with her years of cultivation.

Actually, this was not so bad. At least it had given me an opportunity. Otherwise, the task of opening the Netherworld would have been snatched up by someone else long ago. How could there have been a place for me?

Li Yanqing suddenly felt that matters had become complicated. It seemed she had returned to the period after giving birth, when they had lived together like one family.

“Isn’t this a living hell? How unfortunate for you that I happen to be a soul-reaping envoy.” She laughed softly. “You use living people as test subjects for your medicines. Your crimes are beyond heinous. If the truth were made public, the common people throughout the world would tear you apart and devour you—or chop you into mincemeat and feed you to the pigs and dogs.”

“I never said it was your fault. But if General Manager Jiang dislikes waiting so much, then next time, please come in precisely on time. I have no objection.” Mi Jia refused to back down. Her gaze toward the other woman was equally sharp, devoid of even the slightest warmth.
