Epilogue 4

"You look so much like Brother Pinghua; you must be his eldest son, right?" Su Mu said with a gentle, amiable expression.

It was only then that Li Ming realized the Essence Stone Sect was truly abnormal. How could an ordinary low-level sect possess a Void-Transformation cultivator? Let alone a Body-Integration cultivator. Even if the Essence Stone Sect had once been a mid-level sect, a Void-Transformation cultivator should certainly not exist there.

"Dormitory thirteen: Feng Pingfeng, Feng Pinglin, and Feng Pinghuo." These three brothers were placed together, conveniently sharing the same room.

"Master Guan, President Zhang doesn't seem willing to sell his shares. What should we do next?" Liu Susu asked with a hint of worry.

About ten minutes later, three figures flew through the sky. They reached the area above like lightning, yet they did not land.

After exhausting every ounce of her strength, Meng Die finally managed to get the mermaids into basic, modest clothing. Sighing in relief, she turned back and faced Tanisha with a stern expression.

"Shield—" Suddenly, someone from the mage regiment shouted. The next moment, the hundreds of fireballs that had just entered seemed to pass into a strange "U" shaped space. They shot out into the pale sky, colliding with the massive magic shield that had been hastily erected.

The auctioneers at the Wildfire Auction House were legendary. Each one was professionally trained by Wildfire, eloquent and masters at building atmosphere to drive up prices. Golden Sandalwood City was a major city in the central East Wuzhou region; the auctioneers there were expected to be of very high caliber.

Holding her sore nose, Meng Die nodded to the soldier and followed him into the lounge.

Irritated by the constant murmuring of Yue Yushuang and Yue Yuxian over the past few days, Ding Zhan felt moved by the magnificent scenery before him. He couldn't help but recite, "The time will come to ride the wind and cleave the waves, and set my cloudy sail to cross the vast, deep sea." Suddenly, he felt the air behind him go silent.

"Oh, it's just... it doesn't feel right, I can't quite put my finger on it." Professor Lu focused on driving, and the car fell into a sudden, heavy silence.

The big man did not decline. "Brother, you are truly a generous man. In that case, I shall thank you. Alcohol and meat can be bought nearby; I shall return in a moment. Please wait here for a short while." Having said this, he took the money bag handed to him by Shanyi and went out.

"What on earth is this?" He instinctively wrinkled his nose. In the porcelain bowl before him, there were red and green things, and a pungent scent of alcohol wafted up. When he looked closer, the green things were some unrecognizable roots or bark, and the red things were actually insects. His hair stood on end immediately.

As for Liu Bei, seeing that there was nothing pressing that day, he had intended to spend some leisure time with his wife. Suddenly, it was reported that Xue Bing requested an audience. Lady Mi, sitting below, said, "Since my husband has matters to discuss with General Xue, I shall withdraw." With that, she helped Lady Gan back into the inner courtyard. Lady Gan’s health had been declining, showing signs of becoming quite serious.

Getting up, he put on his shoes. Without bothering to hide his footsteps, he walked upstairs with a steady "thump, thump, thump."

—There was no right or wrong, only the inevitable outcome of events. Luka’s initial mercy toward the royal capital’s guards had led to the current situation where he had no choice but to be ruthless.

Ling Xiao kept his eyes closed, feeling a lingering sensation of medicine stuck in his throat, burning and raw. After enduring for a minute, he couldn't help but cough.

"I only wanted to come see you once I reached Beijing. Long Aotian didn't want me to come earlier, but then we ran into your Captain Tang, who gave the order. Otherwise, it would have been uncertain whether we could even meet!" Zhu Siqi said.

"What happened today? Why so busy?" Zhu Siqi sat in the car and asked Deng Weiyu.

Immediately, Yang Yi held the token and walked quickly to the entrance of the cave. Upon detecting the token in his hand, the great formation did not react at all. However, Yang Yi knew that if any other expert who was unaware of the truth were to intrude, they would be ruthlessly shredded by the formation.

"Not bad! You'd be hard-pressed to find such a good deal anywhere else if the price is cheaper by a hundred thousand." Qi Xin'er did the math and found it very worthwhile. As things stood, real estate in the city was appreciating; in a few years, the money spent on the house might even be recouped.

Shen Mu smiled faintly, a touch of tenderness appearing for the soft, fleshy bundle in his arms. Even though his expression remained mild—so mild it bordered on indifferent—one could see the hidden warmth in his eyes upon closer inspection.

Last night, Ning Xizhou stayed with her, so she temporarily forgot her fear, but it was only temporary.

"To seize something, you don't just need a strong fist; you must have a brain," Su Qianlang argued calmly.

Thus, during the time when Xiao Yixuan and Xia Yuqing’s relationship was at its best, there was one meeting where Xiao Yixuan told him about Xia Yuqing’s situation. That period happened to coincide with the time when Mu Yunshen and May were breaking up.

He crushed his cigarette, threw it into the trash can, walked up to her, raised his arms, and pulled her into his embrace.

However, this was merely the thinking of ordinary people. For those with great ambition, this was nothing more than a pretext for playing political games.

Whenever he thought of Xiang Nan bringing Xia Yuqing back, Xiao Yixuan felt a sense of irritation. Without even taking off his clothes, he turned on the faucet and cranked the water temperature to the lowest setting.

The two didn't do anything, just had a proper conversation. Thus, none of the three felt awkward when they came out.

Fang Jinlan highlighted Cheng Cheng’s positive traits, hoping to help Cheng’s father put aside his prejudice against Cheng Cheng, as his recent life had been truly difficult.
