Chapter 51: Caught in a Scheme

Father Qin wore a dark expression, his brows tightly furrowed and his eyes narrowed as he looked Lin Xiaoxiao up and down from head to toe.

What on earth was this girl trying to pull? Could it be that she was still harboring resentment over failing to enter the company last time?

That was why she wanted to use this opportunity to bring up the matter of a job once again.

Father Qin had felt somewhat guilty about that incident before, but now, judging by what Lin Xiaoxiao had just said and done...

"Alright, you all go and attend to your own tasks. When the time comes, this old man will naturally depart, and by then, everything shall be arranged at Shaoqing's discretion." Xuling motioned for the Seventh Elder, Shu Shaoqing, to step forward and handed the military tally over to him.

What Baili Mu, as the leader of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, could figure out, he naturally had already inquired about long ago.

As Frank spoke, he also wore a look of confusion and puzzlement, just as he had claimed.

Among them, Yun Ruoqing was chosen as one of the members to stay behind within the secret realm. Because she had inherited the will of the Ghost Physician Divine Sovereign and her medical skills stood peerless among her peers, the academy's higher-ups did not want her to participate in frontline combat. It was best for her to remain at the rear of the camp, where her primary duty would be treating the wounded.

Yet, within those dark eyes of his, there still lingered some distant memories. Intermingled among them was a trace of obscure regret.

"Forget it, what's done is done. Let us continue with our own business." Although Mo Li felt displeased in his heart, he knew this was not Yun Xizhen's fault. It seemed the Yun family had no wish to get involved in the affairs of the Pill Court and the Divine Temple.

However, he was waiting for Lin Yi's subsequent words, because if it were merely to return these two cosmos sacks to him, Qianling could have easily passed them along. There was simply no need for him to step foot into such an important restricted area where unauthorized idlers were strictly forbidden.

After checking his physical condition once more and confirming that no other issues remained, Lin Yun temporarily cast the matter to the back of his mind, pushed open the door to the operating room, and walked in.

Upon receiving the news, Dong Xu had rushed from the Dong family to Jiang Zhenwu's villa overnight, not daring to delay for even a moment.

Two martial artists at the Great Accomplishment realm of Blood Refining closely followed Jiang Lan, flanking him from left and right to launch a pincer attack, while the others remained in place, watching coldly from the sidelines.

And until Mo Yuan declared that Roy's move was Sword Slashes the Kunpeng, the people outside laughed even more heartily.

Among the new students of Qingxuan Academy this year, those who had successfully cultivated to the completion of the Body Tempering realm so far accounted for at most one-third of the total. This group could be said to either possess immense talent or have sufficient background resources.

Gao Cheng's heart pounded wildly. From this sliver of consciousness, he could sense a will that surpassed the seventh-tier Golden Immortals. Encountering this intent felt just like beholding the Great Dao containing infinite mysteries.

Finding that he could not be beaten to death, Kong Zhendong remained calm and unhurried, biting onto his opponent tenaciously without letting go. Instead of pursuing extreme shots, he focused more on maneuvering his opponent and controlling the placement of the ball.

However, upon learning the news that his father had returned this time with no intention of leaving again, a joyful bloom spread across his mother's face. In a burst of high spirits, she actually accompanied his father in drinking a full half-catty of liquor.

Not long ago, when he heard that Jiang Han was on extremely close terms with Su Ziyao, he had found it somewhat hard to believe. He had once asked his father about Su Ziyao's background, but was met with a stern warning from his father telling him never to touch Su Ziyao, let alone provoke her background.

Thus, through Yan Sheng's serving rotation, Wang大力's advantage in the third stroke was brilliantly brought into play, allowing them to snatch four points out of five serves.

I took the keys and walked out the door, but I did not rush to leave. Instead, I activated my supernatural ability to listen and see if Jiu had said anything.

"Dad, what are you talking about?" The moment Magistrate Yin's voice trailed off, Yin Zhixue hurriedly reached out in a panic to cover her own father's mouth. Her face instantly flushed bright red as she widened her eyes and glared solely at her own father.
