Chapter 75: Far Too Eye-Piercing!

Gu Yaxuan saw her brother staring at Ruan Mianmian and couldn’t help complaining, “Brother, you saw how she bullied me just now, but you didn’t help me at all.”

Having just been scolded by Ruan Mianmian and nearly embarrassed herself in front of everyone by almost falling, Gu Yaxuan felt utterly humiliated and now resented Ruan Mianmian deeply.

“It’s your own foolishness,” her brother replied coldly. “In just a few sentences, you fell right into her verbal trap and ended up angered by her. How do you expect me to help you?”

He was certain that if he’d stepped forward to defend his sister, things would have only gotten worse.

The three brothers wanted to gather together, but she didn’t want to be the messenger between them. Yet she couldn’t reveal the secret space of her two masters. What could she possibly do?

Oh my, the eldest actually agreed to let her escort him home—this alone was enough for her to boast about for days.

Only then did the Empress Dowager reveal a hint of a smile on her face. After a few more words, she finally allowed them to head to Kunning Palace.

“Master, your Rakshasa Blade Technique is becoming ever more sublime. At first glance, it seems calm and unremarkable, but it carries a murderous intent within. When needed, it becomes a tempest, blood soaking the heavens,” Liu Wei said, bowing deeply in respect.

The Iron Star was both offensive and defensive. In terms of attack, the Celestial Dao of the Stars overwhelmed everything, and its defense was equally peerless, which made the battle extremely tough for Dongfang Han.

Although Li Wei was angry, he knew there was no point in arguing with the fans at this moment.

However, Director Zhu’s involvement with the Dark Sorcerers was far from superficial. He knew full well what crimes the cult committed—abducting children, murder, arson, all of them serious felonies. Yet for the sake of immense profits, Director Zhu chose to turn a blind eye. Sometimes, he even facilitated the cult’s operations.

“This is the last item—let’s take a five-minute break!” Gu Mengfei said with a deliberate air of mystery before heading backstage.

“Are you talking about this?” Sunshade...parasol...umbrella. Wang Xu suddenly remembered the gift Hong Ling had given him—the Violet Fragrant Umbrella—which he had yet to place in the sect. So, he opened the Violet Fragrant Umbrella.

No, I can’t let Wu Jiajia continue like this. I’m afraid she’ll lose her mind and do something she’ll regret. I really need to find time to talk to her. If things don’t improve, I’ll take her to see a psychologist. In any case, I can’t let her sink any deeper.

Everyone knew that the so-called relationship between Liu Shixi and Xie Yun was nothing but rumors being spread around.

“Don’t worry, you’ll definitely find out!” Jiang Tianyi said, then hung up the phone first.

No matter what, she had to quickly learn the old master’s preferences so she could put on a convincing act at the birthday banquet.

Yet some ignorant cultivators believed that stepping across the threshold of the Human Dao was a monumental achievement.

It had already been a few days since returning to reality. Under Diana’s guidance, Zhao Yu had traveled to many cities and witnessed a whole new side of the Nine Provinces.

“Thank you for your concern, President Wang. I will never regret this.” Gu Ci deliberately raised his voice by a few notches, a trace of contempt curling at his lips.

After a few more words of encouragement, Tang Sanzang took various fruits, seeds, grains, and tools from the space within his sleeve and handed them to the women.

The atmosphere in the lounge was somewhat tense. Seeing that she hadn’t moved for a long time, Wang Jing grew increasingly displeased.

The steward readily agreed, which confirmed the group’s suspicions. Overjoyed, they collected their rewards and hurried out, spreading the fresh news wherever they went. Soon, word spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred, and before noon, all of Chang’an knew about the marriage alliance.

When asked about this delicate topic, Ling Yue’s face flushed, but she calmly made up a lie for Du Ruo. Du Ruo, being simple-minded, believed whatever Ling Yue said, and so the conversation ended there.

However, the stone tortoise had just been burned, and the heat scorched straight through Wu Liangxin’s soles, making him wince in pain.

Only then did Qin Yibai realize that the reason he’d met his future father-in-law earlier than expected was because of an impromptu essay he’d written without a second thought.
