Chapter 29: Serenity

Huang Fei closed his eyes, his head gently swaying from side to side. The movement was very slow, like a scene from a film in slow motion, even the frequency of the rotation remaining perfectly consistent.

Anyone with a shred of sense could see that Le Tian’s current situation was dire. Le Tian had resigned from office to escape the persecution of Yang Jian and Wang Fu, but now that he had been recalled, there was nowhere left to hide, which only served to highlight Wang Fu’s determination to break him.

"Master, what is it that troubles you so?" the sword-wielding puppet suddenly spoke.

Seeing the chaotic scene, Linglong’s beautiful face grew increasingly grim. Her fists were tightly clenched, and her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something but could not bring herself to utter it.

Meanwhile, Lian Sheng, who had returned from buying candied haws, had been calling out at the door for quite a while without receiving a response from Mo Jiuqing. Worried but not daring to intrude, she suddenly recalled the words of Jun Yanchen and felt a jolt of alarm.

Just as she finished that thought, Jun Yanchen pushed open the door. Seeing that Mo Jiuqing had already changed her clothes, he felt a sense of relief wash over him.

Early the next morning, An Yutong had finished washing and was dressed in casual floral attire. Because she wore no makeup, she appeared to Qin Leng like a lotus flower fresh from the water, stirring a wave of restlessness in his heart.

After Magistrate Wang departed, Magistrate Le returned to his room to write a note. He then summoned Tu Si and handed him the message for Inspector Huang Kan. With his mission in hand, Tu Si slipped into the darkness, leaving the county office and heading toward a secret stronghold of the Imperial City Guard.

"No need. Go back to your room and rest; I’ll call you when it’s ready." An Yutong felt for her son; after such a long flight, he must have been exhausted.

As Li Gengxin hurried toward the main hall, his heart was a complex mix of emotions. After all, he had only intended for Baldy Qiang to go out and adjust to the environment first, planning to sneak over later to assess the situation once their negotiations were nearly concluded.

Anyway, after leading people to the private room, she slipped away. How those two chose to fuss over each other was their business, and it had nothing to do with her.

She bit her finger, letting the blood slowly pool in her palm along her fair, slender digit, while a sinister expression flickered at the corner of her mouth.

Li Gengxin was stunned. He had never imagined that these students, with their god-like carving skills, would be his fans.

The middle-aged man was overjoyed; he enthusiastically opened the door and jumped out of the car to shake Luo Zheng’s hand, saying gratefully, "An old horse knows the way. Brothers, call me Old Ma. I’m responsible for getting you there. Get in the car now." "An old horse knows the way" was a secret code.

After the meal, it was as if they had gotten to know each other anew. On the whole, everyone was quite satisfied with today’s dinner.

As for the token, Qin Fengming did not have a strong desire to obtain it. But the Holy Soul Stone was something he desperately hoped to acquire. It was an object of immense efficacy for him at this moment.

Yu Ru felt a panic in her heart upon hearing this. She grabbed Feicui and chased after them with Da Su, but the surroundings were filled with lush green trees, and there was no longer any sign of Cheng Xu or Zhou Shaojin.

Xu Zizhen frowned. He had never seen this man named Ding before; how had he inexplicably become the steward of his house? He had never been particular about such things. In the past, Mo Li’er managed everything in the household, and later, when Mo Li’er became pregnant, Qian Tongzhi took over. Could it be that Gao Pujun and the others had recruited this talent?

Zhou Shaojin had no idea where the Changchun Pavilion was, but she didn’t intend to ask, simply keeping her head down and following Cheng Xu forward.

Therefore, Nie Ying could be said to be the one among the cultivators on both sides of the Battle Spirit Plains who best understood the combat power of Ku Qiao.

Even though Ling Yun had suppressed his cultivation to the Chaos Heavenly Sovereign realm, the moment the world within the painting submerged him, he could still have avoided it given his speed.

However, the two players popping their heads up on the city wall while carrying stones were focused down and killed by a squad of Shan Yue archers. Terrified, the other players became even more cautious when peeking out, and the frequency of their attacks slowed down instantly.

Shen Junchen was now completely baffled. Where on earth had the Military Statistics Bureau agent who fired the shot hidden himself? How could he have vanished into thin air?

On August 26th, Tang En made separate calls to Vivendi’s Chairman of the Board, Jean-René Fourtou, and CEO Jean-Bernard Lévy.

However, the palm strike Shen Xingmou had just unleashed ultimately missed. The youth named Yun Xiao, for some reason, suddenly increased his speed several-fold, dodging the lethal blow at an extremely tricky angle.

Colossal, tattered dragons appeared out of thin air. Their translucent bodies contained substantive power, charging wildly toward the centipede-like fallen beast.

Fang Zhongjing explained, "The reason I went to Wudang Mountain was to seek an antidote from Sect Leader Zang for the sake of five or six hundred lives in the Beggar Sect."

Xiao Xinghan did not speak, simply picking up the soft sword. The blade was extremely light and thin, still trembling slightly and shimmering with a dark, gloomy luster.

Directors who can master both art-house films and commercial cinema simultaneously are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns across the entire world.

A powerful shockwave of spiritual energy erupted. Ying Xiaoxiao, Nalan Ruyu, and Bai Shi retreated backward, staring straight at the carnage caused by the clash of purple and golden spiritual energies.

Barely managing a smile, Li Yue did not even dare to recall the pain he had just endured; it was a miracle enough that he hadn’t fainted.

For some reason, although Bai Ran did not quite understand, he etched these words deep into his heart.

A group of die-hard loyalists of the Chen family came looking for Fei Qing. They were lost now that the members of the Chen family had all left, and they didn’t know what to do. It was then that Fei Qing realized Chen Shuang’er seemed not to have provided any severance pay. Fei Qing immediately declared that not a single cent of severance would be missing, but they refuted him to his face.
