Chapter 105: Appointments and Tao Wannian, the Malevolent Spirit of Ghost Manor

Su Xiaoran was merely a second-best choice for Qiao Jia. Whether it was her character, her capability, or her prestige within the town, Shen Tong was exceptionally well-suited to be the Deputy Mayor. Being the person second only to Qiao Jia was no empty boast. Any ambitious human in town regarded Qiao Jia as their number one enemy, and Long Tianyu viewed Shen Tong as a thorn in his side. Unfortunately, Shen Tong’s ambitions lay elsewhere.

Su Qianqian’s gaze deepened. Even though they differed in many ways, that streak of stubbornness had never changed. Because Lou Yi only approached the periphery of their territory without venturing deep inside, the beast overlords turned a blind eye and let him pass.

The tomb had been built by Qi Jingtai back in the day. After Qin Tian’s relatives were brutally murdered, Qi Jingtai had interred the remains of Qin Tian’s parents together; his grandfather had a separate tomb, and the remaining warriors of the Qin family were buried together, totaling three burial chambers. However, a sudden inspiration led Lou Yi to a solution so bold that even Huo Yan was left dumbfounded. Yet, after careful deliberation, Huo Yan concluded that the method was indeed feasible, though it seemed to place an immense burden upon Lou Yi.

"Xia Zijin, why are you sometimes so exasperatingly dense?" Qingqing shot me a glare.

"You have already exhausted your spirit arts, talisman techniques, and incantations one after another; you... must be out of new tricks, right?" the fake Su Hao spoke first. His voice was excessively gentle, so gentle that she closed her eyes, unable to utter the shy refusal she felt.

The people Gu Yi brought were mostly elites from the Gu family, and they appeared quite formidable; I wondered if Lao Dan could withstand them. The breeze in the village blew softly, and the occasional sound of swaying branches was light and rather pleasant.

"Pan Xin? You could go to the Cultivation Realm anytime, so why must it be Pan Xin?" I frowned and asked.

Fusang had moved into another room in that house, firmly believing that Qing Wu was still safe and sound, merely delayed by other matters. A wisp of white spiritual energy seeped into Ye Lingchen’s body; had anyone been nearby, they would have seen him enveloped in white light, resembling a giant cocoon. These near-paranoid behaviors surged forth from a torn rift, making everyone around him tremble as if walking on thin ice.

Tan Yusheng knew this matter could not be rushed; after exchanging a look with Li Xiqin, he nodded in agreement. Helpless, he slumped on the sofa and began to sob, the sound less like a cat and more like a fox.

"Did you hear me? Don't come any closer! Put down the Chasing Sun, or I will kill her to avenge my wife and child!" Miao Yufei was on the verge of exploding; his eyes were bloodshot, his face had turned an ashen blue, and his grip tightened steadily.

Xiao Lujun immediately put on a pitiful expression, transitioning without a hint of hesitation, and spoke these words without any reserve. Chu Xingheng and Xiao Zhan went to the hotel to rest, while Li Xiqin stayed at the hospital to take care of Mu Yao.

Every netizen with 4G access knew that any entry associated with the name "Chen Jinnian" was guaranteed to explode in traffic. To be honest, this girl had always been timid and cowering in his presence; why was she so composed and confident today?

Upon hearing that his mother was downstairs, Chu Haotian rose abruptly, but after only a few steps, he sensed something was wrong. The hearts of Yi Jie’er and the others tightened; they hoped Lin Feng would handle it with ease, yet they worried about what would happen if he couldn't.

I wondered what my father wanted with me. Could it be that he was displeased with what I had said earlier and intended to reprimand me?

The Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had always been succeeded by descendants of the two families. Every disciple of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had to be a dual master of alchemy and artifact refinement, possessing skills in both that left the entire sect with nothing to contest, before they could occupy that position.
