Volume 1, Chapter 60: This Princess Wants to Do Business with the Rebels

"How is the surveillance footage being handled?" The tone was so chillingly flat that Uncle Bao could not help but sigh as he stepped forward to report.

After taking hot showers, Lan Rui and Jin tucked themselves into bed just like they used to do during winters in Jiangcheng, pulling the blankets up tight so only their heads were visible.

"You really can't blame your aunt for this. Who told you to pursue immortality? It's only natural that she worries. Besides, if you ask me, if your aunt hadn't pushed you into this, I'd suspect you were going to stay single for the rest of your life..." With a final look of disdain, Immortal Jinyang cast a sidelong glance at Li Qing.

Gazing at the deed for the two hundred mu of land, and thinking about how his family had owned no fixed property for three generations—yet now finally possessed land—everyone felt a great wave of relief. To say the least, the family would no longer have to worry about food and clothing in the future, and everyone's spirits were lifted immensely.

"Lord Meng is upright and impartial in his official duties, and often dares to stand up against the nobility for the sake of the common people. Matters usually escalate to the point where everyone has to step in to clean up the mess, which is why people get a headache the moment they hear he requests an audience," Yu Anyuan explained in a low voice, having served closely by Feng Chun's side.

Night Festival stopped in his tracks. He knew he probably could not simply walk away from this place. Although he had been timing things by his heartbeat and errors might occur, no matter how he calculated it, he should have returned to the fork in the road by now.

Then, coming to a fork, Ziyun saw four large characters carved on a large boulder standing right beside the path. Although many parts were covered with ice and snow, Ziyun could still faintly make out the words: 'Path of Antiquity'. The name alone evoked a profound sense of desolation within him.

The mastiff displayed formidable might, proudly charging forward to shatter the giant fist imprint, barrelling straight through the storm, its speed only slightly hindered.

Next, Ziyun released an explosive and momentous piece of news: demanding that all sects affiliated with the Alchemy Alliance withdraw from the Artifact Alliance, stating that they could no longer enjoy the protection of the Artifact Alliance. Whatever the Artifact Alliance could achieve, the Alchemy Alliance would do likewise, because the Hidden Gate now encompassed the dwarven race, whose specialty was artifact crafting.

"If he says that, won't it just add fuel to the rumors and make them even more rampant?" Yuanxiu paused for a moment and murmured softly.

Upon entering university, Xu Qingmo had no idea how to find Yang Zihai, nor would it be proper to go looking for Lin Youxi or Xia Xiaotong. If Xia Xiaotong found out, it would be fine, but if Lin Youxi found out, Xu Qingmo's head would probably explode.

Due to the inherent flaws of eunuchs, no matter how high they climbed, they would always be looked down upon. Therefore, after leaving the imperial palace, Yang Liuer thoughtfully changed her form of address and began calling him "Brother Zhu." It was precisely this "Brother Zhu" that completely moved Zhu Hong's heart.

Phantom's heart tightened instantly. She blamed herself for being too careless; it seemed the head of the Situ family was already aware of her Bi Fang cultivation technique. However, given his calm and open demeanor, he likely had no intention of plotting against her. Still, that fellow Yu Feng from yesterday was hard to read, especially since she had engaged in a real, live-ammunition firefight with him.

Zhang Bainin said, "Of course I mentioned it. I said so yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to come along. He's definitely waiting for us at home today. I told our superior about it, so he wouldn't dare brush us off."

"Perhaps there are, perhaps there not, but I do not know, and they will not tell me," Osmanthus said.

True Adept Linyin was no match for Wang Qi, a fact he knew clearly in his heart, just as Beicang Feng and Beicang Lie could see it.

"Didn't see anything? Who are you trying to fool? If you didn't see anything, how do you explain those two streams of nosebleeds?" Yang Liuer tossed the damp towel in her hand straight at Chou Qianjian.

"As you like. But you only have twenty minutes to bathe. After twenty minutes, I'll be waiting for you in this room." With those words, she led me into a bathroom, personally turned on the faucet for me, cast a charming glance in my direction, and then gently stepped outside.

"What is it?" Unable to get any answers out of Yangyang, Yang Liuer turned to question the maid who was following behind to take care of her.

"Even if the Warring States won this battle and captured Beasts Kaido, we still cannot kill him," Garp said helplessly. He would rather fight Roger than deal with Kaido; while Kaido wasn't the strongest, his ability to never truly die was the most exasperating thing of all.

What Qiao Yang found interesting was that the conditions stated in this letter were directed at Bo Yuhan, but in the end, the letter was handed to Su Yuechen.

She had no idea what was going on. Her morning sickness had been quite severe previously, but in the two days since Ou Yuye had returned, she had felt completely better.

"That's enough. Everyone disperse and try your best to find those scrolls," Venerable Chiyong commanded.

However, when she was leaving work today, Mu Xiaoxia had already called Sister Song, who took care of Old Mrs. Ou, intending to visit over the next couple of days. Never did she expect that as soon as she picked up her phone, she would see several missed calls shining brightly on her screen.

A few scattered patches of snow were shaken down from the roof, fluttering onto Su颜's hair and her long eyelashes.

An army of ten thousand men foraging all the way from Jizhou to the gates of Chang'an would consume at least several thousand shi of grain, making the entire campaign utterly unprofitable.

Jiang Qiaoer had never seen Gong Yuchen act so mysterious. Following his instructions, she covered the corners of her eyes. Gong Yuchen gently took Jiang Qiaoer's hand and led her toward the sky garden.

The two stared at each other for three seconds. Yu Tian calmly removed Ji Ke's hand from her shoulder, stood up, and walked over to the bed.

"Let's go. Let's enter the manor first." Watching the warm and affectionate scene between mother and son, Cai Yan felt tears well up in her eyes naturally.

As Yewei used Sneasel on the ice battlefield to defeat his opponent's Machamp, he successfully became the first contestant to advance to the top eight.

"If my eyes don't deceive me, you must be Cinnabar Island Gym Leader, Blaine, right?" Shinji looked at Blaine and said.

Zhou Tian, lying on the bed, could not help but sigh with emotion. Previously, lying in bed, he had marveled at how many things he had been through; but after going out on this trip, there were even more. One could only say that the affairs of the world are impermanent, and everyone has their own encounters.

Cui Nong kept her head lowered, holding a pair of bamboo chopsticks that had already been used by goodness knows how many people, picking up a few strands of noodles before letting them drop back down.
