Chapter Seventy-Three:
The two of them descended the stairs one after the other, Yan Xuan walking ahead with the air of a master. Only when they reached the ground floor did he turn to look at Lord Jin. “Where would be convenient for us to talk?”
Lord Jin was utterly bewildered. “Mr. Yan, please follow me to the small study.”
Thus, Yan Xuan, somewhat awkwardly, followed Lord Jin back upstairs to the small study.
In truth, the “small study” was not small at all…
“Mr. Shi—” Wujian and Shura grew concerned when Shi Hui sent Qiye to subdue the demon alone. Perhaps, to ensure Qiye had no worries, a better solution was needed. For example, the Xuanxin Orthodox Sect must not discover the vulnerabilities of the Yinmoon Dynasty and take advantage of them. At the same time, the Yinmoon Dynasty must be restrained, to prevent incidents like the massacre at Red River Village led by the Six Paths years ago.
Tai Sheng clicked his tongue in disbelief. Who would have thought that his two junior brothers, still cultivators at the Golden Elixir stage, could amass such wealth? Even with his level at the Wandering Spirit realm, he never had the fortune to acquire so many advanced sword techniques during his own training. Suddenly, he felt that the gift he had presented earlier seemed rather inadequate.
Suddenly, more than ten bandits burst out from the mountains on both sides, their presence fierce. They wielded magical artifacts and charged straight at the merchant caravan.
The two men’s thoughts were similar: since nothing could be discovered, one would take charge of protecting the new lady’s safety, while the other would continue monitoring the Xiao and Ji families.
Umbrella is neither a state enterprise nor a government department. At present, it is essentially ruled by Ashuang alone. Considering the ten billion bonus promised to everyone upon completion, nobody objected much, and the matter was settled in a muddled, haphazard way.
Ever since learning that the Wen family would send someone to assist, Princess Jingyang was no longer eager to hurry along the journey. She decided to linger in Xuancheng for a few more days. This suited Yang Qian’s wishes perfectly; after all, since they had come to Xuancheng, it would be a shame not to explore the spice market.
Ye Shu’s figure flickered, and he appeared at Yan Changlan’s side. Though his expression hardly changed, the murderous intent in his eyes was chilling, and his ten fingers trembled slightly, betraying his unsettled emotions.
Previously, regarding the piano episode with Zhou Zekai and Tang Bingyu, the production team had already privately interviewed the manager. They knew he had watched their performance, so the situation was self-evident.
It was a very peculiar sensation. Su Wuyang sat in the waiting area, watching as a man in a black, mid-length trench coat stood with his back to her, queueing for popcorn. When she saw him coming over with a large tub of popcorn and drinks, something deep inside her began to stir, restless and eager.
Wild cries and heated discussions echoed throughout Tomar Castle and nearly the entire Western world; people were utterly stunned by Ye Tian’s boundless imagination.
Nick Fury felt that the reason was no reason at all. Precisely because of this, strong alliances were all the more necessary, so Wang Kai should not refuse the proposal for cooperation.
Come to think of it, Chu Hengyuan might be a descendant of certain supernaturals—a mixed blood, perhaps. His supernatural lineage could be extremely complicated, and that fateful car accident happened to trigger his supernatural threshold. However, Chu Hengyuan’s bloodline was not pure, nor had he ever interacted with others in the supernatural circle. He could only keep exploring on his own.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian’s convoy had already entered Fifth Avenue, then followed it south, heading straight for Lower Manhattan.
This was the second time Ye Yixin had been humbled before Xia Yang, scolded so severely that she wept uncontrollably. The other members of the archaeological team felt sympathy for her, but given Xia Yang’s established authority and the fact that Ye Yixin was clearly in the wrong, no one spoke up against Xia Yang. Instead, they went over to comfort Ye Yixin.
Ke Yumei slowly retreated to Wei Xiuyuan’s side, still unable to react for a moment.
