Volume One, Chapter 38: The Killing of Li Kuang, and Liu Wanqing’s Shock!

"Eliminate someone?"

Hearing this, Cheng Muqing and Liu Wanqing were stunned. Lin Yi was usually gentle and refined, rarely showing his sharp edge.

Liu Wanqing pressed, "Who? If you need help, just say the word!"

"Li Kuang!" Lin Yi’s gaze returned to its usual calm. "He insulted my mother; his crime is unforgivable."

Both women had crossed paths with Yang Mei. As they locked eyes, a flash of murderous intent crossed both their faces.

Cheng Muqing suggested, "Shall we split up to find him? We must finish this before reaching the eleventh floor! Otherwise, once the livestream starts, his father might come after you!"

The Trial Tower was vast, with each floor spanning a wide space, making it difficult to find someone...

"Don't say that; it's only natural for you to feel that way, but you simply don't understand my master," Ding Yibai said, fully empathizing with Mo Yancheng.

The two rented a storefront in the east of the city, running an individual hardware retail business while taking on renovation jobs through friends.

Li Su hummed "The Whole World is Speaking Chinese" while cooking lunch.

She was at that age where her heart had just begun to flutter. As the thought crossed her mind, she grew shy, her face reddening as she turned her head away, not daring to look again.

Yan Qingyi treated her well enough, but she was not her own sister. Only in front of Rong Jin could she act spoiled and push her luck without reservation.

As long as Li Yongnian didn't speak ill of their sisters in the future, they would be content; what need was there for wealth?

The fingertip was bloodstained and slightly swollen, the wound looking rather miserable against the backdrop of the verdant rosemary.

From my perspective alone, the presence of so many business and political titans at this party, combined with such rigorous security—even disallowing electronic devices on board—showed just how private this gathering was.

After the barbecue, Fu Xizhou enjoyed his creation with a natural air, noting that the heat was acceptable, though the meat was a bit tough. He decided he would need to master the timing more precisely next time.

Xu Ping’s closed eyes twitched slightly; he instinctively wanted to retort, but ultimately gave up.

"Finally back. Thank God, I thought we’d be wandering the stars for the rest of our lives, saying goodbye to Earth forever." Zhao Xin was on the verge of tears. He wasn't entirely correct, though; if they had truly been lost in another dimension, they might not have had a "rest of their lives" to speak of.

As she used both hands and feet to carry the dead pheasant, Cui Xingjue asked in a voice deeper than usual.

"Exactly, exactly! You’re so serious, you make me seem like I’m not!" Shen Feifei chimed in from the side.

Yet this phenomenon undoubtedly shattered his—and perhaps all of humanity’s—long-standing perceptions.

Golden light flowed into Huang Xuan’s meridians, reaching every corner of his body. Sensing the aura of the Dragon Vein, the viruses grew terrified, violently battering against the barrier of Huang Xuan’s internal energy.

He had originally thought that with the merit of installing a new ruler, he could become the Regent of the Chen Kingdom and seize absolute power.

He regretted not being less impulsive back then. He had wanted to make a big impact while he was young, which led him to sign a three-year strategic agreement with LeTV.

Huo Fangyi put away the ancient book, controlled the ghost infant and the killer flies to sneak into the Ghost Domain to patrol, and began to further explore the supernatural powers of the Puppeteer.

Those big stars who were once under the spotlight had been reduced to playthings just to survive.

If the old man in the ancient mansion erased all supernatural phenomena except for the ghost itself to cause a "deadlock," then the old man in the herbal medicine shop suppressed the ghost and all its supernatural abilities entirely.

After Shen Suixin paid for everyone’s hot drinks, she left with her things. The moment she reached the parking lot, she saw a familiar car.

In an instant, a crater of unknown depth appeared, and the strange beast was slammed directly into the ground.

If he hadn't accidentally discovered Ruibao visiting the money house, he wouldn't have known she was bold enough to hire thugs to kidnap someone.

The Emperor Jingming understood his son's words, yet he felt dazed. Was the Changsheng Sect a fraud?

Shen Suixin was now adept at these shows; no matter how tricky the host's questions were, she could always deflect them with a few lighthearted words.

Since Su Man was not in her office, she was likely in Wang Guolin’s. Reasoning this, Lin Feng ran toward the Academic Affairs building.

Wang Xudong smiled without speaking, though a sense of nostalgia stirred in his chest at the memory of those years.

Just as Wang Xudong pulled his car into the driveway, Su Wanqi followed close behind. Upon arrival, she saw Wang Xudong stepping out of a van. She recognized it—it was his old vehicle.

The young mistress of the Zhou household had little presence outside, but she possessed a natural authority in the eyes of the servants, even if it didn't carry as much weight as that of the master, mistress, or young master.

Though Ning Yuze said this, Qiao Yi didn't admit to it, though she didn't continue to deny it either. She simply laughed noncommittally, refusing to give him a straight answer.

Wang Tiezhu reached out, and the next moment, Dongfang Bai dissolved into scattered white light, spreading like fireflies in an instant. The night sky was illuminated by these white particles.

According to previous intelligence, the only Ming forces capable of reinforcing the capital were those of Zuo Liangyu and Liu Zeqin. While these troops were stronger than the Capital Battalion, they were far inferior to the Eight Banners, and as private armies, they would never risk their lives for the Ming.

Zhuang Zhen felt annoyed, but there was no time to tangle with them now. If the commotion attracted passersby, it would be difficult to reach the apothecary unnoticed.

He had once thought the girl Zhang Min was calculating. Since she had successfully replaced Yang Qing as his person, and Yang Qing hadn't made a scene, he couldn't be bothered to ask, believing Zhang Min had a bright future.

In an instant, the King Joe piloted by Takano Jun began to smoke at the rear, losing balance and plummeting straight down.

Usually, cultivators setting up arrays would guard the formation, never allowing Gu Yue to take advantage of such a loophole.

He agreed immediately, shook hands with Jin Yezhou, and sat in the front seat as they took turns driving.

Titan was a pure swordsman and a pure warrior; he didn't have many long-range attack methods, and even if he did, they were far inferior to an Ultra Warrior skilled in releasing beams.

Qiao Yi smiled without warmth; since she wasn't the one in a rush, she was happy to run circles around Lin Xiao.

This wasn't strange, though. In our day, students from various schools treated this place almost like a hotel; people often ran into each other here, and everyone tacitly agreed to mind their own business.
