Chapter 89 Cao Liangfang’s New Blind Date

Let us put aside for now the quarrel between Xie Gensheng and Kang Jilan after he returned home, during which he reproached her for not telling him about Lu Jianwei’s outrageous behavior and even asking him to invite Gu Huaizheng and his wife to the banquet, as if disregarding both his mother’s and his own dignity entirely.

Kang Jilan, furious to the point of trembling, pointed at his nose and berated, “I think your mother has bewitched you! Do you know what kind of person she is? In front of a crowd, she called someone a ‘capitalist’s daughter’, and yet nothing happened to her. What more do you want? If it were me—”

Jiang Dong pulled the silken net and the orange wolf, rushing swiftly to the blue wolf’s side. With one hand, he plunged into the blue wolf’s back. To prevent a counterattack, he unleashed his sonic skill at close range once more, while his other hand continued to draw energy from the silken web.

This was the first impression many people had upon seeing Liu Shiyue—numerous disciples’ eyes lit up, and they couldn’t help but cast her a second glance.

Every one of his attacks was effortlessly dodged by Li Tian. Before he could launch another assault, Li Tian had already seized him by the head and, as if disposing of trash, flung him straight toward the distant mountains.

“Old Jiang, rumors of your misfortune kept reaching us from outside—we thought you were dead!” Golden Donkey beamed, teeth gleaming with excitement.

“A true man should be a hero among men in life, and a hero among ghosts in death. How could I ever grovel to the powerful, only to make myself miserable?” In that instant, Jiang Dong brimmed with lofty ambition. Leaving Banjiang City was not to escape catastrophe, but to seek adventure. In a world as vast as Ghost Fortress, how could he confine himself to a single corner?

Jiang Dong alternated the power of chaos, unleashing the Three Wraths of the King of the Underworld, the Three Wraths of the Human Emperor, and the Vajra Demon-Subduing Fist. These three fist techniques were all he had mastered. Confronted by Yue Heng’s onslaught—over a dozen Shaolin ultimate techniques in a single breath—all he could do was respond to myriad changes with steadfastness.

What reassured me was Zhang Zhifang lying sound asleep in bed. Whether it was the influence of that eerie energy or sheer exhaustion from last night was unclear, but he was still deep in slumber. Moreover, there was nothing unusual in his home.

After the arrival of the ghostly soldiers, Lu Wushi finally took action. He performed a strange hand gesture, murmured a brief chant, and, in a flash, four figures appeared at his side: Black and White Impermanence—one holding a tall, laughing mask, the other a weeping one, both clutching tokens of office; and Ox-Head and Horse-Face—one yellow, one white, each bearing a trident.

Carlyle couldn’t help but shake his head. That fellow, as clever as Yiyang, knew just how to use his jump shot to toy with his opponent.

Ding Jingyan lowered her head, gazing at her delicate hands clasped tightly together. In the end, she sighed and repeated the words.

Wang Minjun lifted his shoe and, just as expected, the outer heel was badly worn, flattened considerably.

“I have eyes to see and a mouth to ask for directions. There’s no need for you to trouble yourself on my behalf.” Jiang Li picked up her belongings and headed straight for the examination hall without looking back.

An Hanzhang narrowed his eyes: “I keep a constant watch over the Haizhou Ever-Normal Granary. There is plenty of rice in stock, and the Inspectorate can inspect it at any time. As for the price of grain, the Inspectorate can go into town and check directly at any store.”

Liang Jie began the assignments. Two people were dispatched to construct a false grave, while the rest joined them in binding bamboo.

At that moment, Lagenis came running over in haste, clutching something resembling a fiery slime creature in his hands.

Cries of “Brother!” rang out, echoing beyond the sports field, causing many to stop and look over in curiosity.

Lately, the Song Dynasty has been far from peaceful. In March, Jiaozhi conquered the Kingdom of Champa, becoming a threat to the Liangguang region.

When reconstructing a complete skeleton, there are numerous ways to combine the bones to estimate age. The conclusion is not a simple average; it requires discernment and dialectical analysis.

Gu Yun barely managed to cram the items into the trunk, but the lid wouldn’t close no matter how he tried.

He was fully aware of the effects of these three types of mushrooms. Many nobles had begged in vain for them, and their commercial value needed no further explanation.
