Chapter 50: The Wu Family Exposed

“Do you think it’s raining in the capital as well?” Rainy nights are the best opportunity for ambushes; would someone seize this chance?
Linglong suddenly understood the crucial point, and at once she felt a wave of confusion wash over her. She stared blankly into the emptiness, a fragile look flickering in her eyes.
Because there were so many people at dinner, and the table was long, they’d had hotpot in two pots: one for the adults, another for the younger ones.
A sudden gust of wind swept through. The red plum tree stood firm in its noble dignity, yet its slender branches danced and swayed, releasing their fragrant charm. A few red blossoms broke free and fluttered down. One gorgeous, proud blossom landed quietly in Lan Qing’er’s palm.
Ye Zhenzhen knew that Ye Sen had probably gone out for this very matter. Now that she saw the drama on the news had reached its perfect resolution, he shouldn’t be so willful anymore.
Ji Canglan smiled lightly, the smile infinitely enchanting, and a glimmer of dazzling color flashed through his long, beguiling eyes.
Lan Qianchen stood atop the towering walls of Cangming Pass, watching tens of thousands of troops cheer below. Even Yin Jian, usually the most reserved among them, was laughing with abandon. Lan Qianchen couldn’t help the radiant delight that spread from his brows and eyes as he looked down on the scene.
The driver was impressive; the dirt road was barely a meter and a half wide, but the jeep reversed down it without so much as brushing the crops on either side.
“I know! It’s only because I clinked glasses with Dad!” Ye Zhenzhen couldn’t help but complain playfully.
Huo Yuanqi’s words made Guan Chuqi’s anxious heart finally settle; he was still the person she knew so well.
Kimimaro had foreseen this; his left hand produced a bone blade from his palm, which he slashed obliquely at Honglian’s waist.
After the first frost, this grass was covered in ice crystals, as thin as cicada wings—unmelted by sunlight, undisturbed by wind and sand.
At night, the four of them quietly left the main force under the cover of darkness. The shortcut required crossing hills; the terrain wasn’t treacherous, but the path was narrow.
Within his robust meridians, torrents of spiritual power surged like mighty rivers, coursing into Liu Chu’s internal organs before finally converging in his dantian.

Of course, the blow from the red-capped beetle had already pierced his organs. It wasn’t long before Brother Earthworm’s gaze dulled, his head slumped, and he died.
On the other hand, Su Chenfei’s fans, accumulated over this period, were typing furiously on the screen—not haters, but something close.
Even if Xiao Qingran had the ability to take over, could she really bear the weight of them calling her “boss”?
Liu Chu was at a loss and looked pleadingly at Yun Xinyao, but saw that she was cold and showed no intention of helping.
Lady Xie Nine rode a crane to the Miscellaneous Affairs Peak and bought a large batch of spiritual fruit trees, all at the early fruiting stage.
The two elders insisted on helping out today, so they too worked in the amusement park. You couldn’t stay in one spot—moving around gave visitors the feeling of a treasure hunt.
“Your Highness, I’ll trouble you to clean up the aftermath,” Huang Yan said, glancing at the bedraggled prince before turning back to report.
Just then from the podium came a sudden sigh, “The waves of the Yangtze push those before to their deaths on the shore.” This sigh immediately drew agreement from many of the old monsters present.
“It’s the East Bureau’s enforcers...” Even from a distance, Dai Hua could smell those men, and whispered to Wang Xian.
Hearing this, Fat Tian, who had been listlessly slumped in his seat, finally looked up. His eyes, narrowed like steamed buns torn open, glinted with a cold, sharp blackness.
Such a situation left him unspeakably frustrated. But he had no way to dig the two out, and could only fret helplessly.
“The mountain child is leaving!” Kikuri’s stern face suddenly softened as she shouted noisily at the boy behind her.
It turned out that, over the years, in order to resist Yan Liang’s campaigns, Liu Bei had kept careful watch on every move of the Chu army.
“Shake it!” He glanced expressionlessly at Du Zitong, noticing the fat man’s face had turned pale.

Normally, it would take five years for a first-level Dao spirit to reach the second level, nothing like the monstrous pace of Yun Tianyu’s breakthrough.
He’d never seen his parents; the first humans he met were his master and mistress, who treated him kindly and gave him opportunities.
Usually, they could receive guidance from elders and hall chiefs in the Thorn Division, so their progress was no slower than in their own tribe.
Feng Qian lifted the final layer of gauze; lying on the bed was Nian Xiu—or more precisely, what was left after he had been frozen into an iceman. Diting immediately knelt at the bedside.
Su Qingyun, seeing Su Yunshi’s behavior, frowned even more deeply. But he knew that once money entered Su Yunshi’s hands, there was no getting it back, so he could only cast Su Rushi an apologetic glance.
This sudden development was unexpected, but the three reacted swiftly, pushing off with their toes and leaping back to safety, untouched by the attack.
Even if the two-child policy were truly opened in seven years, by then Huang Sanshi’s health would likely be strong in appearance only. With a bit of persuasion, there would be nothing to fear.
“So how do you mental-type mages survive? I don’t believe every one of you can make it to level seven,” Airi retorted, pursing her lips.
Hearing Su Rushi’s praise, Liu’er blushed shyly and tugged Su Rushi toward the bed.
“Huh?” At this moment, Yun Su glanced several times toward the main hall, surprised to find that the voice just now felt oddly familiar.
Because the top spot on the Young Dragon Ranking, hailed by the Qianlong Group as a peerless genius and one of the Twin Prides of Tianjing—Huo Wujie—had been gravely injured in a single move.
“Besides that, there’s someone else who’s very important to you who will be there!” Wen Wan suddenly added.
