Chapter 44: Father and Son in Dispute

The pitiful expression on Shi Chuchu's face froze instantly, and her mind went blank for a few seconds.

What was going on? This seemed rather different from what she had anticipated...

When had Luo Jia changed his temperament?

Clearly, she had used this exact routine to win him over before!

Wasn't he the one who loved playing the gentle gentleman rescuing the distressed maiden? How could he remain completely indifferent to her now?

Shi Chuchu was panic-stricken. Seeing someone stepping forward to drag her away, she subconsciously...

Kong Zhixuan's deep eyes followed Han Lianyi's retreating figure until it disappeared from sight, whereupon he lowered his head in dejection.

Seeing that the upper floor was entirely made of steel frames and plates that were impenetrable to bullets and impervious to fire, with the stairway entrance tightly guarded by firepower, Ding Dayong realized it was impossible to approach. He grew both anxious and angry.

Han Lianyi glared at the two clamoring individuals. "Protest denied. It's settled." With that, she pulled the door open and walked out.

Then, Liu Gan smiled as he watched the opposing Zhang Xiu soldiers, who had been charging wildly with their shields raised, collapse to the ground with a clatter. Hmph, did they really think he had run out of arrows? He had deliberately saved a wave, waiting precisely for this moment.

Strictly speaking, he and Tufa Ling were truly in mutual affection, and Duan Ye did not feel he had done anything wrong.

Night Blade slowly turned around. There was no visible abnormality on his face, yet something felt deeply amiss. Jingchuan did not dare to breathe a single heavy breath, quietly listening to whatever he might say.

Therefore, he helped Yi Mengxue find a suitable place to prepare for her breakthrough, and set up a magic array around it to conceal her from prying eyes.

In the past, no matter how many injuries he suffered, she would never have felt any guilt. But now... for some reason, this sense of guilt was growing stronger and stronger.

"I'll blow on it for you," Yan Beicheng said in a low voice, both his expression and his tone filled with undisguised heartache.

For the sake of the grand plan in his heart, Qiu Yu could only endure as much as possible, averting his gaze from the beautiful sight and asking Tang Xuechong how she had been lately.

True to form, Wei Dongfeng's words caused Old Woman Li and Apricot Blossom to express boundless gratitude to him. Only Lichun sneered; once he fully grasped the true character of these people, he might soon come to regret it.

Wanxiang Restaurant was the most high-end establishment in Tongjiang Town. At this moment, the front of the building was brightly lit, lined with a neat row of horse-drawn carriages.

With a subconscious smile playing at the corners of his lips, he lowered his head to inhale the refreshing aroma of coffee, then lifted the cup and took a sip.

"You, this girl," Cheng Bin raised his head slightly and saw a pair of chubby, snow-white feet dangling back and forth not far from him, kicking up ripples in the water.

Therefore, he racked his brain and exhausted every means, cruelly forcing Lei Lei to remain by Xiaoye's side.

"Oh, the problem of excessive fortune? Why? What constitutes having too much fortune?" Yuan Chu asked curiously.

Seeing the sect leader in such a state, the male disciples all breathed sighs of relief. Clearly, the medicine was taking effect, and since the other party seemed out of danger, she would return to normal in a very short time.

Zhao Bazhou immediately snapped to attention and began comprehensive round-the-clock surveillance on Sun Jinming, not letting slip even the slightest change from Sun Jinming's end.

"What is there to say? If it's your last words, I can listen to them before letting you die." Flames surged, instantly condensing into a brownish-yellow fire dragon as Nie Feng spoke coldly to the Heavenly Sword Elder.

Tiger Head, whom he had suddenly let out to scout and keep watch, came running back with frantic pitter-patter steps, anxiously meowing nonstop.

Qincheng Wan'er watched with a heartache, but realizing that arrow towers could always be rebuilt later, whereas losing this location would make it extremely difficult to retake, she gritted her teeth and plunged into the battle, fighting even more fiercely than anyone else.

"Old Yuan, find a way to get out of here," Yu Ji said. The two of them had roamed the world together for hundreds of years, known as the twin heroes of Zixia. They understood each other deeply as rare good friends and brothers; how could Ao Yuanfeng abandon Yu Ji and flee? No matter how desperate the situation, he would never stoop to such an act.
