Chapter 40: Banished from the Su Family
No one had expected that this good-for-nothing would actually dare to strike someone. The second aunt of the Su family, upon realizing she had been slapped in public by a man everyone looked down on, felt utterly humiliated.
"Ye Feng, you worthless bastard, how dare you hit me! Just wait, I'll beat you to death!" she screeched, baring her teeth and claws as she stormed toward Ye Feng.
Standing rooted to the spot...
Yun Zheyue’s retort made Lan Ji suddenly wary. What had happened to her disciple? Why was she showing such unexpected kindness to Liu Huo?
From that moment on, Leng Bing felt that Liu Ying had always been right. She had been the foolish one, believing Wang Peng was a good man. In truth, he was no different from all the others.
Wang Shuai forced a smile, helped Wang Peng load his luggage into the car, and then followed him inside.
At the very top of the control tower, a Japanese major gripped a fuse in his left hand and brandished a military sword in his right, backing away step by step as the assault team pressed in.
Yet she distinctly remembered that atop Mount Yunhua, she had suddenly encountered a massive army. The banners bore the insignia of the Celestial Empire. The man who appeared to be the commander, clad in armor and battle dress, still could not conceal his breathtakingly handsome features.
Many people in my life have been like red suns in my heart, illuminating my path and guiding me forward, like a splendid and colorful flower blooming within me.
The beautiful young woman was now crying so hard she was unrecognizable, even sobbing until snot bubbles formed. How moving was the tale of Su Wu tending sheep! It turned out that even mortals from the North could produce such towering, heroic figures.
The Furious Sky Shark collapsed into the water with a miserable wail, the surface stained red with blood, which slowly spread outward.
Liu Qianxue greedily breathed in the moist air, fragrant with grass and flowers, savoring the beauty of life.
As Li Nan was speaking with Sour-Face, the third man standing before the Large Scaly Snake suddenly unshouldered his submachine gun, gripping it with both hands, its muzzle aimed squarely at Li Nan.
"My understanding is this," Liu Wanyong said, feigning nonchalance as he glanced at his companions. Seeing their blank faces, he realized they had no idea what he meant, but somehow his words seemed to make sense.
"Impossible, Captain Guan! That old man, no matter how you look at it, must be the young man's elder, right? Calling him 'Master'?" One of the uniformed officers shook his head repeatedly, utterly unconvinced.
The Phantom Masked Bandit had escaped, infuriating the emperor. And not only did the fugitive get away, but he had caused such chaos. It was said that because of the great fire, among the dead was also the second legitimate son of Prince Anqing, Li Jin, as well as Wang Baoqing, second uncle of the Duke of Ningguo’s wife’s family, and several other notables.
At that moment, Viscount Negus had already come out to greet them, accompanied by a tall, handsome young man with black hair and eyes.
When the five saw the sea fish plunge into the waves, their brows furrowed slightly in puzzlement.
In truth, Zhu Lei and his team had no prior knowledge of the exact location of the target ship. They had to wait for the military’s notification, after which they could calculate the data, allowing the computer to adjust the angle and direction of the electromagnetic railgun, which would then automatically fire the projectile.
In an instant, Liu Wanyong realized he had stepped into a trap. Moments ago, the ground had appeared perfectly smooth, but suddenly it gave way beneath him. If sharpened bamboo stakes lay below, their lives would end in a matter of seconds.
Later, after Di Yun left the valley, he discovered that his teacher, Qi Changfa, was in fact extremely cunning and treacherous—just like his uncles. The “Iron Chain Across the River” and his patience in enduring humiliation were truly astonishing.
