Chapter 169: Return

The women at the table who had just been gossiping felt their hearts leap into their throats. They never expected Lin Lu to actually go and ask. If Young Master Xu were to hold them accountable, they would all be in grave trouble.

Xu Yanchen sat there, watching Lin Lu with her curved, smiling eyes, remaining silent for a long moment. In truth, he had seen her the moment she stepped through the door, but his persistent pride had forced him to look away.

...

Therefore, anyone who had not reached the rank of Dou Huang was being blocked outside the Canaan Academy by the law enforcement team. The young captain did not know how many batches had been apprehended so far, but he was certain they would not be the last.

Suddenly, I was left speechless. I narrowed my eyes in contempt, gathered up the evening gown, and headed into the changing room.

Furthermore, Li Zetian considered that one billion dollars was already a sky-high price; there were only a handful of people in the world who could afford it. If the price were raised any further, he feared no one would dare to buy it.

"You have to understand, she is my sister." Jin Yexuan chuckled softly, his eyes narrowed with a hint of amusement, as he looked at Z with a complicated expression.

Yun Qing sat before the mirror, gently combing her hair with a wooden comb, her demeanor leisurely and carefree.

"Haha!" I laughed loudly, playing and joking with the friends beside me, punctuating the monotonous blare of horns on the road... I realized that the sky today was exceptionally blue, staining my white T-shirt with its hue.

For instance, with the ruby, one could feel a constant flow of warmth seeping from it simply by wearing it; the chill of early spring was dissipated almost instantly. As for the sapphire, Feng Xue simply tossed it into the food storage cave, where the lowered temperature helped prevent the food from spoiling.

He walked up to me, and the sound of his footsteps vanished... Just like that, we remained still for a few seconds, without any exchange. I kept my eyes tightly shut, lying quietly on the table.

I shifted my body, only to find it feeling as though it were clamped by something. I looked down and realized I was being held suspended in the air.

"Shh, shh, shh! Xu Zhongkang, you blockhead, are you trying to let the people inside hear us?" Seeing Xu Chu acting foolishly, Liu Tianhao quickly kicked him, and Xu Chu shut his mouth immediately.

After Yun Han finished speaking, Bai Jiaojiao slightly lifted her injured foot, focused the strength of her body against the door she was leaning on, and raised her hand to untie the sash at her waist.

The content on the rice paper was extensive, ranging from poetry and Taoist classics to stone tablet inscriptions. It was evident that Yang Guo had learned much under the guidance of Long, though the character he wrote most often was "Long."

When she woke up, it was already past noon. Before she even opened her eyes, she smelled the aroma of food, followed by the sound of chopsticks clinking against bowls and dishes. Opening her eyes and sitting up, she turned her head to see the uncle and nephew of the Yan family using the office desk as a dining table, eating with great gusto.

What Zhang Jiao had not anticipated was that after ten years of the three brothers' management and proselytizing, the number of Taiping followers had grown increasingly large, reaching hundreds of thousands. They spread across the eight provinces of Qing, Xu, You, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Yu, occupying nearly three-quarters of the country at that time.

"His cultivation level is not low. I only sent Peng Gao to test him. However, Peng Gao’s strike also possessed considerable power; it should be impossible for him to resist it so easily!" Guo Shi said calmly.

Xia Qing did not hide anything. As he spoke, he threw another punch, vaporizing an attacking tiger. These mist-like Rakshasa spirits could not be killed by blades or swords, as they would re-form after their bodies shattered, but they vanished completely when vaporized by the fierce force of his fist.

It turned out that the poison of the Ice Soul Silver Needle was a cold toxin, while the poison of the Love Flower was a heat toxin. When the two met, they neutralized each other, inadvertently reducing the Love Flower's toxicity by more than half. Li Mochou was skilled in using poison, but she knew little of toxicological principles. This time, neutralizing the deadly Love Flower poison with the Ice Soul Silver Needle was purely a stroke of blind luck—a mistake that happened to turn out right.
