Chapter 59: The Truth Revealed

When Secretary Tao uttered those words, Su Yiyi was so shocked her jaw nearly dropped to the floor.

"Why? Why are you canceling my qualification for the competition?"

"What did I do wrong? I've already submitted both my entry and the blueprints!"

"Let me tell you, I am a member of the Su family!"

...

"Are you hungry?" Zhou Zhihua's tone was indulgent, as if nothing had happened just moments before. "When the banquet is over, let's go for a late-night snack together. Don't eat too much now." He reached out to take Lan Mi's hand, the gesture so natural it was as if they were a couple.

However, Mo Ran paid no attention to this conversation. She was no helpless prey to be carved up at will. If the Demon Lord wanted to kill her, it was far from certain he could actually do so.

"So you've found out?" Le Caiwei guessed she must have learned what had happened to her, which explained her reaction.

"No, I just disliked you from the very beginning, instinctively. Whether there’s a misunderstanding or not makes no difference." Now freed from the constraints of being the second young mistress of the Fu family, Han Jingyao spoke her mind without reservation—she simply didn't like Yan Ruo.

Heaven knows how delighted Jin Baihe was when she saw the test results today; she could hardly wait to put Han Jingyao on a pedestal.

Coveting what's in the pot while eyeing what's outside it, surrounded by all the finest men who cherished her, holding her in their palms—that was when she was truly happiest.

After giving his instructions, Old Master Rong turned and went upstairs to rest. A few people remained in the hall, the atmosphere delicate. Lin Chuyan sat up straight, a gentle smile at the corner of her lips.

"I heard you took Wen Erya to the café. You even splashed my wife with a glass of water. Do you feel any remorse? I can't see even a hint of guilt on your face. Or are you just angry that Wen Erya fell ill, and now there's no one to back you up, no more benefits for your family?" Rong Ting pressed again.

Le Caiwei frowned, and seeing his reluctance to speak, said gloomily, "I thought you would tell me everything about yourself. Was I mistaken?"

Sure enough, after a moment, the sound of a toilet flushing came from within, and then a man in his late twenties emerged.

"It's not a fake, but it's not an antique!" Dantai Mingyue smiled. She had never claimed that this bronze cauldron was anything but a bronze cauldron; it was indeed made of bronze, the only difference was the era in which it was forged.

"Holy Light? Purify!" Facing the dense web of fate threads rushing at him, Wang Biao was not the least bit nervous. Though, if he made the slightest error, those seemingly fragile yet in truth incredibly tenacious threads would pierce him full of holes, and his body would be utterly destroyed.

Beidou was already drowsy. Half-asleep, he heard those three words, curled his lips faintly, and slipped into a deep slumber.

Gu Xiaobei's cheeks suddenly flushed, a rosy glow blossoming on her previously pale face, lighting it up with radiant pink in an instant.

"Hey, you're not gay, are you?" Leone shuddered as she noticed Lubbock's gaze drifting toward Liu Hao.

"Divine Punishment—Star Eye!" At that moment, the star-shaped eye, like a spinning wheel or a glaring eye of judgment, locked straight onto Zeus, making him feel as if there was nowhere to hide. Even if he fled to the ends of the earth, as long as he remained on this plane, he could not escape its gaze.

Due to certain matters, the Cangsong Sword Sect would not take action against the Zhao family, who were on good terms with Liang Dong. As for the remaining Tyrant Blade Sect, lacking a Golden Core Patriarch to hold the fort, their status was precarious and turbulent, leaving them no time to concern themselves with the Zhao family's affairs.

"Could it be that they have other schemes in mind?" Lucifer was no fool. Knowing they were outmatched, yet Asmodeus and his companions still dared to challenge him head-on—surely they had some hidden trump card.
