Volume 1, Chapter 21: Xu Mingyue Under Police Investigation

Xu Mingyue’s grip on the phone faltered, her hands trembling uncontrollably. How could this happen? She had assumed no one would ever know about that incident, especially after so much time had passed. Hearing her silence, the person on the other end continued in a stern tone. "Ms. Xu, please report to the police station immediately to assist with our investigation." "I understand. I will be there at once." Her voice was unmistakably laced with tremors. Beside her, Qin Yi noticed something was wrong, his eyes fixed on her face, which had drained of all color.

"What are you people trying to do? It has been so many years; why can't you just stop? The Ren Clan has been wiped out. I have spent fifty years scouring the land, and there is no trace of them left," the old woman pleaded. "Lan Duoduo, you don't understand. He is already back, working for the Black Stars again," Dingdang replied.

It must be said that when people face the unknown, they tend to let their imaginations run wild, and their speculations are rarely accurate. Boom! Two attacks detonated simultaneously, sending gravel flying and gale-force winds ravaging the area. The entire battlefield was immediately engulfed in sand and violent energy. E Gui, who had arrived at some point, saw Meng Qi preparing to strike and stepped forward, shouting angrily, "Boss, this is bad! There is a car behind us that seems to be tailing us." A man wearing a traditional Kenyan woven cap shouted.

In an instant, a crystalline white sphere appeared in Lan Duoduo’s palm, radiating light incessantly. It rose slowly into the air, firing a silver beam directly at the blonde man. "Mom, Second Mom, I brought Dandan here. Dandan, this is my Second Mom." Qin Yaotian had just returned from the Ding family residence. The remaining three watched the departing figure, exchanging glances that seemed to convey the same unspoken message.

"You... you’ve only exchanged a few moves with me, so how could you know the depth of my internal power?" Mo Qianyuan countered, questioning him in return. Observing Beitang Chong’er’s solemn expression, Hu Tian had already vaguely guessed the truth. It appeared likely that Beitang Chong’er was merely being mischievous and had fabricated the Imperial Decree, claiming Han Yueqiao had given her permission to leave.

Li Jin walked in; without waiting for an invitation, he pulled up a chair next to Rong Cai and sat down. Soon after, it was time for lunch. Huangfu Sheng had his staff set the meal in the courtyard and invited Mu Lixiao to join him.

Shrapnel flew, tearing through the bodies of the monsters while simultaneously hammering against the armor of the nearby Dragon Warriors, creating a constant, rhythmic clatter. "Excessive? Wei Dingtian, in the eyes of our Ancestor, you are nothing more than an ant." As Jiang Wu finished speaking, his pupils constricted, his withered white hair stood on end, and an invisible surge of energy lashed out once more with devastating force.

However, since Yao Sisi had spoken so definitively, Sister Lin felt it would be inappropriate to press the matter further. She could only offer a silent prayer in her heart, hoping the girl wasn't being deceived by someone calculating and deep, before turning to leave. "What is this guy up to? Could he have come here just to follow me?" Chu Feng glanced backward, maintaining his steady pace as he walked on.

She could still dimly recall the day she left home for the Yunhuang Temple. Her final memories were of her stepmother, Mrs. Feng, and those embroidered peony slippers, as well as Bai Xuezhu’s effortless, pristine white attire. The pain that once gripped her heart had been enough to make Lingyue wish for death.

As time wore on, Han Feifei simply offloaded the Heavenly Emperor’s tasks onto the brothers Haojie and Junxiong. By then, the brothers were trapped in a predicament and had no choice but to bite the bullet and carry on. "No wonder Brother felt she always gave him a sense of familiarity. How could I not be familiar with Senior Sister Ni Shuang?" Jiang Ning thought to himself. A brilliant light flared within the solemn, ancient temple as Lei Zongheng forged an alliance with the divine sword, Jingzhe.
