Chapter 89: The Su Sisters Are Bullied

Sun Niannian led Wu Di to the sofa, and Ye Feng sat down beside Su Manman as well. Su Manman naturally knew Wu Di; after all, he was quite famous in Licheng. As for what kind of person he was, Su Niannian likely understood him better than she did, so she did not ask further.

The air in the room turned awkward. No one knew what to say, so silence settled over them, broken only by the sound of Su Manman eating an apple.

There was another man whose gaze burned with the same furious intensity as Xia Xin’s: Mu Ye. Yet while he wanted nothing more than to burn Xia Nuan to ashes, the person he most wanted dead was Lu Yihan.

A soft laugh drifted through the void, and the scorn in that laughter sent Gudan’s blood surging. The orc warlock drew a deep breath and, with great effort, forced down the raging fury in his chest.

Seeing how utterly Xia Nuan ignored her, Xia Xin stamped her foot behind her. Liu Peiqin had told her to endure, but she simply could not. Today, she would make Xia Nuan taste the consequences of provoking her.

“My lord, this... it is like this...” Qingyang looked at Baili Junyi with some difficulty, clearly wanting to explain, but he was cut off by Lanyukang beside him.

Only after getting into the car did Chu Qiao notice that a large patch of skin had been scraped off the back of one of Shang Fangyan’s hands, and bright red blood was seeping out.

Yet when the concert began, Yin Tianyou seemed to have “forgotten” all about it, leaving Zheng Ende under the impression that she was out of luck.

Because of the one-tael silver charge, many people who had come to watch the excitement were stopped outside the teahouse. After all, a tael of silver could be used for many things, and ordinary families were reluctant to part with it.

Fortunately, the Dark Gate was not shoddy work. Though the teleportation curtain warped and trembled, it held firm and did not break, giving Kazak not only worry but also a measure of hope.

Since Chu Qiao had asked Shang Zi to prepare it for him, he had no reason to refuse. Chu Qiao had already said she would treat him as her elder brother in the future, so refusing would only make him seem pretentious.

She had come to bring news to Ainan and, by the way, to see him. Now that the message had been delivered and the person had been seen, the experiments in her tower had still not ended. As a mage in pursuit of boundless knowledge, she did not think she had any time to waste.

“Fine, I understand. I’ll ask you directly next time.” Shen Tong felt that Xiao Ren was sulking; the boy seemed truly angry, as though she had betrayed his good intentions.

The boar had already been cleaned and dressed by the Second Empty Mountain. Bai Hao merely lit a fire and set it over the flames; before long, fat sizzled and sprayed in all directions, and a rich aroma filled the air.

Most of her colleagues had only just arrived. When they saw Xu Liu, they did not think much of it. They were still talking about the new person who had joined the company today, all of them commenting that she was truly beautiful.

No one had expected Ban Weicheng to come in person to the police station. From what he said, he must have known about what happened that night.

“No matter. By the time Third Brother finishes his examination at the start of the year, it should be about right.” Shen Qing silently did the reckoning in her head.

Tong Shi wore an expression of grievance and said, “Everything I have done has been for the safety of our whole household. Yet not only have you shown me no gratitude at all, you even suspect me. I am your wife—how can you trust your mother and Zhongyuan instead of me?” With that, she began to sob softly.

After someone beside her mocked her once, he withdrew and said no more, neither looking at her nor speaking to her again.

Among the members of the Mystic Gate, handsome men were as common as autumn leaves, and many were often compared to him. He had never taken it to heart.

The young nun immediately became alert and looked around. The older nun pointed up at the roof. In one motion, the younger nun tore away the thick cloth, pushed open the window, and darted out like a swallow piercing the clouds toward the rooftop.

Perhaps in these past two years, they had already become husband and wife in a foreign land. Only Ruyi was still waiting in the Pei household for her husband to come home, only to receive in return two cold words: divorce. There had not even been any discussion.
