Chapter 104: The Unwelcome Visitor

At the end of the event, no one sympathized with Xie Gensheng.

Han Yongsheng was Xie’s direct superior, but he understood Gu Huaizheng’s intentions perfectly. There was no question about it; if he were in Gu’s position, he would have acted the same way. Therefore, there was no resentment toward Gu Huaizheng.

If anyone was to blame, it was Xie Gensheng’s own mother, whose sharp tongue dared to say anything.

Xiao Yumin called out to Liang Jinhua, “Did you see that?”

Liang Jinhua nodded.

Xiao Yumin said, “Make sure you do your part well when you get back.”

However, even though the Purple Mist Palace had taken Di Qing away, no matter how perilous the Purple Mist Palace was, one had to go through it at least once.

In fact, compared to before, Zhao Ziming had become even more amiable, rarely losing his temper. Yet, the expansion of the company brought about great changes.

Ye Mo paid no attention to what others thought; he simply fixed his gaze on Huang Hao, awaiting his response.

“That’s right. To stand out, one must seize a certain number of command flags!” Han Shan said solemnly.

Jason, who revered and loved his mother immensely, would never harm anything related to her, not even in the slightest.

Yet this was clearly an illusion. With dawn breaking and the lingering morning mist, some haziness was perfectly natural.

The elder who had been guarding Ye Wushuang outside the secret chamber, upon seeing Ye emerge with a stronger aura, hurriedly saluted.

It was almost impossible now for Ye to passively respond to Su Mucheng’s “questions” as before.

Tianfang City? It was over a thousand kilometers away. What was this person doing traveling so far just to come here?

Luo Chen directly told her a chilling and unhappy outcome, though Fu Jiang was completely unaware of the reasons that led to it.

“Get lost! That’s your biggest benefit, not mine. Stop using me as an excuse. I still have to go to work tomorrow!” Zeng Bingbing said.

“Weren’t you all from Xuanyuan Manor known to live off pills? Why is it that now that we’re here, you refuse to take out the Broken Wall Pill?” Her commanding demeanor made it seem as if she were the host here, not a distant visitor.

Upon entering the Zhengqian Palace, they indeed saw the Empress Dowager. After respectfully bowing, Sheng Mingzhu took her seat.

“What is it? I’m quite eager to witness it myself.” Wen Yongzhu suppressed his disdain and swiftly drew his sword.

He thought it through—by the time his carriage arrived, Pei Yeling had already come from Wuyou Cave to Cang City.

Su Qingwan’s face tightened as she forced herself to calm her heart. Recently, Sheng Mingzhu’s attitude toward her had changed drastically. Could she have seen through something?

“No, I won’t.” Lu Anning curled her lips slightly and sat down on the sofa. Touching the cool, dazzling diamond ring on her finger, she smiled sadly.

Ming Yi lifted the wine glass again, savoring the last few drops on his tongue. It was still exquisitely delicious, leaving him utterly baffled.

“Bingbing, why don’t you come with us to Dongdaihe? Our girl loves playing with you,” Sister Jie said with a smile.

Yu Huang and others entered the Divine Realm. Some among them, especially the Electric Mother, were extremely familiar with this place.

The sun gradually hovered in midair, radiating endless light and scorching heat, as though the surrounding air itself was ablaze with intense warmth.

The legend of the Pagoda had long made these arriving forces eager to possess it. Now that they had all gathered here, it was all for that very pagoda.

After leaving Goryeo, Zhang Chao ordered the army to quicken their pace. Youzhou was within the Celestial Empire’s territory, and he did not believe there would be any danger there. Hence, as they advanced, the scouts he dispatched stayed only about five li behind the vanguard.

“Father, mother, I’ll go back to my room now!” Lin Tian felt a deep sweetness from his parents’ concern, smiled gently, stood up, and headed back to his room.
