Chapter 21

For a moment, I even forgot who I was, where I was. I dared not imagine, dared not believe... Is this truly our fate? For some unknown reason, a wave of despondency washed over me. Why?

Huo Sijue gazed steadily at her. The light reflected in his amber eyes was not the usual calm and sharp gleam; instead, they appeared clear and luminous, as if harboring a hidden radiance.

With Ye Qingqiu’s capabilities, she was destined to inherit the Ye Group in the future. Arranged marriages were, therefore, inconsequential.

Then, when Su Cheng saw the comments beneath the video, countless question marks flooded her mind.

Naturally, Yao Yanyan had no reason to refuse the company president’s lunch invitation—this had nothing to do with Shao Dongxu’s identity.

Li Cuihua also dared not go against Jiang Cheng’s family, for when Jiang Cheng grew furious, he would indeed resort to violence, beating her mercilessly.

Xu Ke bit her lip, her beautiful eyes fixed unwaveringly on the host, continuously pouring out a plaintive gaze in that direction.

If Qin Ting truly decided to withdraw the troops, it would be a thunderclap for him. After all these years of scheming, wasn’t it all to free the South Sea from Qin Ting’s control and make it their own?

Zhou Qi alighted from the carriage and took a seat in the somewhat dilapidated pavilion by the roadside. Zhou Jingyi and two guards followed closely behind.

Watching it in the cinema now made the experience different; Jiang Li still watched with great interest. Yet, compared to Xu Qianyan, her enthusiasm was far from his lofty standard.

Chen Tianyi sent Tang Ya to the nearest hospital. The wound on Tang Ya’s wrist was bandaged. Seeing the gauze wrapped around, Tang Ya gently lowered the sleeve of her clothing, knowing that if her mother found out, there would be no shortage of worry.

He convened this meeting not to conclude that the convergence of the nine realms was no big deal, so he had to argue his case with conviction.

After a night of no incidents, Huo Yongping was released the next morning; the police had found no evidence against him.

As the flute’s melody ceased, the fish spirit no longer felt discomfort. It seemed to have discerned Gong Qianzhu’s weakness and, with a smug shake of its whiskers, spat dozens of times at her in the next instant.

On the game score screen, the opposing Yasuo player sent a message: “Trash Yasuo! How many times have I solo killed you?”

“Tell me, how does this matter relate again to the Four Tribes’ founding of the nation?” Old Xiao’s heart simmered with anger but his mind remained clear. Seeing Yan San’s words, he knew the situation might be grave.

Yet, Yan Kehan seemed to have caught a different scent. When questioning Yu He, he persistently tried to lure her into revealing more.

As long as the wound was touched by the “Purifying Holy Water,” even a Lv16 “Crippled Monster” could not resist the burning of the sacred white flame; becoming ashes was an inescapable fate.

Qiao Xian’er’s eyes widened in fury as she shouted, “Who on earth forged these evil creatures to poison life? Do they truly possess not a shred of humanity?”

The adopted son, empowered by the force of the Void of Annihilation, pierced through the barrier formed by the ethereal aura and charged before the clan matriarch. Crossing his hands, a circle of silvery light shot toward the center of her brow.

Fan Li was instantly taken aback. Good heavens, they had been searching for Commander Lu for a long time without success. At the very moment of resettling the villagers, he suddenly appeared.

“Who’s here on this rainy day? Could it be someone from the old mansion?” Shen Nanwei put down her embroidery needle and pinched her temple.

“Though I cannot harm you, hiding inside this turtle shell, how can you possibly hurt me?” Lu Qing, knowing he could not break this shell, sought to provoke the old eunuch into attacking first and revealing a weakness.

Pan Disheng’s brother-in-law, Li Guobao, was the eldest son of Li Fushu. Naturally, they shared a close relationship.

Li Si lifted his teacup and took a small sip. Though it appeared he was savoring the tea with closed eyes, inwardly he was fully focused on the data panel, carefully sensing the earlier anomaly.

When An Jin arrived at Nata City, he saw the wanted poster issued by Lord Tulen at the city gate.

A television station that consistently topped the ratings naturally created a grand spectacle for you, carrying you on a golden litter; the ratings naturally soared.

At this moment, the soldiers guarding the walls and the refined middle-ranking officer’s faces changed drastically. They hurriedly ordered everyone to abandon the walls and retreat into the village, preparing to use the ambushes there to engage the savage barbarians in close-quarters combat.

Luo Yun had been calmly observing but was caught off guard when a sudden gust of wind swept over, and a scorching heat quickly rose in the air.

Cries, confessions, and pleas for mercy rose one after another. Brother Chen waved his hand, instructing security to drag all three of them out.

“Thank you, Mom.” Su Qiankun said little, silently carrying Su Baimo’s luggage to her room.

Longyan looked up, dazedly staring at his father. After a moment, he lowered his head, playing with the Rubik’s cube in his hands.

“Judging by Tong Nian’s expression, she seems quite pleased. What Xiang Fei said probably wasn’t too terrible, right?” Lu Yunqian asked Xiao Yuan.

“Don’t speculate rashly. Let’s go home first and talk later.” Gu Zhongqian wrapped his arm around his wife, and together they headed home.

Miao Qifeng suddenly glanced at Li Tian; a dangerous glint passed through him. Li Tian quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet Miao Qifeng’s gaze. He knew the captain was blaming him for not sharing this news earlier.

Feng Tianlan smiled. Yun Zhu had always been open-minded and insightful; the only thing she hadn’t seen through was her growing affection for Xi Jin.

Returning to the main point, they still had work to do. Thus, under the leadership of the Chaos Emperor, this group stormed into a great clan to begin a new round of suppression, seeking to subdue them.
