Chapter 56: The Mulberry Family Courtyard

"Are there any other adults in your family?"
"My second older brother is an educated youth in Heilongjiang."
"And who else?"
"I had an older sister, but she chose to cut ties with our parents to marry far away... We haven't been in touch for a long time."
"What about your paternal and maternal grandparents?"
"From what my parents told me, they all passed away a long time ago."
Su Qiao looked at the little one with tear-reddened eyes...
Both you and Xu Chunyang are military marshals. Even if your rebellion succeeds, you will never be able to ascend the throne and proclaim yourselves emperors. Therefore, you are merely pawns in someone else's hands. The mastermind's objective is simple: use the rebel army to slaughter the court ministers and imprison the sovereign, then reap the spoils. Anyone with the qualification to do so must undoubtedly be a member of the royal family.
However, it was impossible to empty the residents of the six buildings all at once in the short term, and the time for constructing the mega-complex was not yet ripe either. Simon simply managed those buildings as commercial properties, signing two-to-three-year leases with the majority of the tenants.
Upon seeing the wild boar, their eyes lit up instantly. It was rare to encounter a wild boar, so no matter what, they had to hunt it down and carry it back to eat.
In other words, it was now equivalent to two Murong Xiyangs, two six-star mages, dealing with Rong Wanwan.
Mingguang Street was located in the most densely populated core area of New Xi'an City, and it was also one of the three main thoroughfares running through the entire city. Along the entire Mingguang Street, there were just over two hundred buildings in total, nearly half of which bore the striking emblem of the Pleiades Consortium—the eight-winged eagle-man.
To be honest, he would rather Rong Wanwan be a cultivator with decent talent; if she really relied purely on brute force and physical combat to defeat him, it would be even more humiliating.
Lu Zhan said, "The back mountain has steeper terrain and higher development costs. Furthermore, transportation to the back mountain was inconvenient back then; if we wanted to develop this place, we would have had to build roads first. Later on, the front mountain became a famous tourist attraction, bringing in considerable tourism revenue every year."
Refining the Vermilion Bird beast soul was undoubtedly a perilous path, but Xingchen had no intention of proceeding step-by-step or refining it gradually. Instead, he absorbed all their energy at once and then refined it in its entirety.
The city's residents were plunged into sheer disaster; before they even had time to react, a multitude of them were hacked to death.
As soon as Su Changle arrived in City A, she hurriedly made a phone call to Lin Hua, only to have it answered by Xia Chulong, who had been missing for several days.
It wasn't that I hadn't tried to persuade myself, but the trace of disappointment in my mother's eyes was too profound, impossible to conceal even a bit. Therefore, I couldn't even indulge in self-deception.
"Then would you be so kind as to help think of a name?" Ling Feng asked, quite shamelessly prepared to sell off the leech emperor's right to reputation.
Upon hearing this, those people's eyes lit up again. Right on the spot, several of them expressed their desire to rent the properties in the east of the city to open furniture factories.
Since he intended to pursue Hua Meiyan, he should have first inquired thoroughly about her situation. If she already had a boyfriend like others did, Sun Ming would definitely turn around and walk away.
The rotation of the Heavenly Heavy Spear had almost reached a critical threshold. Omron's palms grew scorching hot, layers of skin and flesh being burned to a char and then peeling off, exposing the raw tissue underneath.
Wang Hao had always considered himself lacking in deep emotional capacity, yet it was Muge—a stranger he had spent only a few days with—who haunted him for so long afterwards, leaving him aching with sorrow whenever he recalled him.
However, the common folk did not have to wait too long. Just as the sun tilted slightly to the west, five carriages from the county magistrate's office entered the polo field.
Su Zhan, being the closest, was the first unable to withstand the pressure. He staggered back three steps in rapid succession until someone caught him. Su Zhan assumed it was his own brother supporting him, but when he turned his head, the ones holding his arms were robust men in tight martial attire on either side. Terrified out of his wits, Su Zhan instantly began to struggle desperately.
Ling Feng had long since cultivated the ability to fathom human hearts and adapt on the spot, resorting to playing the pity card when necessary. Only in front of his older sister would he reveal his true nature.
