Volume 1, Chapter 24: Treating Du Ruhui, the Physicians Are Convinced

They turned their heads one after another to see Li Shimin, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and wearing the Tongtian crown, striding in with the gait of a dragon and the vigor of a tiger, surrounded by Wang De and several imperial guards.

Before the Chen sisters had even stepped out of their carriage, Chen Shu'e's voice drifted out: "We saw Sister Luo's carriage pulling out just as we left, but no matter how hard we hurried, we couldn't catch up." With these words, Chen Shu'e emerged from the carriage, turned, and took her sister Chen Shumei's hand.

Before the group reached the spot where Zimeng had been blown away, her mournful, heart-wrenching cries could already be heard. As they crowded around, they saw Zimeng cradling the barely breathing Lan Haoren in her arms, tears the size of beans streaming down her face, her expression one of unbearable agony.

"Is your brain broken, or is mine? Do you really think I’d let you stay for another three days? Use your head and think it through before you speak; don't think I'm joking." Yang Xuantong glared at her.

As the distance between them closed, the Tibetan man could clearly see the mysterious man's attire and appearance.

Jobs sat back at his desk, opened his MacBook, and checked the relevant web pages that had been captured. Within seconds, his face turned a sickly shade of green.

Taeyeon conscientiously picked out every error, checking several times to ensure nothing was missed, before writing the corrections on paper and typing them out word by word. Imagining the expression on Ning Yi's face when he read these notes made her feel it would be hilarious.

However, Yu Jing, passing by, noticed a detail: the way Yumi Toyama had hanged herself was quite peculiar.

Ever since she had been manipulated by the Zhou family and the Old Madame Dong, Luo Pingyan had taken the teachings of the Eldest Princess Huining to heart: always reflect on matters, especially by connecting them to the bigger picture.

But Fei Junshuai could not ignore the death of Bark Scorpion. He had willingly surrendered himself, and they had protected the village from being ransacked by the Black Owl Army. In the end, the Leizedu army had broken their promise to take Bark Scorpion away, even resorting to cold-blooded murder. Fei Junshuai could not forgive the soldiers who had committed such acts.

Therefore, to the eyes of an outsider, Gu Cheng's main achievements over the past two years were merely limited to a piling up of quantity, lacking any real depth.

This time, Lin Yuming did not refuse, because he felt that drinking was all he could do here.

Lin Yuming was also secretly startled. Even at this point, Vice Mayor Xiang could remain so calm and composed; he was truly a formidable opponent. If he could not suppress this veteran of the political arena, his own defeat would be devastating.

Although this Mr. Huo was the true power behind the Huo family, like many other clans, the head of the family was always in seclusion and merely held the title, leaving the actual management to Mr. Huo.

Ning Fuchen sat in Mutu's home for a long time before Mutu finally emerged from his room. He looked somewhat exhausted, though the reason was unknown.

"Father? In your eyes, am I still your father? Tell me, what exactly happened in the Zichen Hall today!" Gu An glared fiercely at Gu Qingyou before walking over to the chair by the table and sitting down.

Normally, even if an adventurer did not want an item, they would trade it with others; to be sent back to the Old Continent meant that no adventurer wanted it at all.

Reflecting on the tragedy of the pavilion keeper's family, Zhao Bo thought of how his own family had been destroyed by river bandits and felt profound pain. The county official who had come with him sighed repeatedly, trying to console him.

The crowd looked over to see a young nobleman dressed in flowing white robes. He possessed an extraordinary demeanor and a handsome face, with an ancient jade pendant hanging at his waist, marking him clearly as a scion of a prominent family.
