Chapter 25: The Black Tiger Hall

“If you keep talking nonsense, I might just leave you alone.”
Ye Chen turned back and shot Qin Sisi a glare, deliberately trying to frighten her.
No matter how spoiled Qin Sisi usually was, at this moment she dared not argue with Ye Chen.
Her delicate brows furrowed and she said nervously, “Don’t, please don’t leave. I’ll be quiet, I just hope you don’t get beaten to death by them!”
...
At the same time, these people kept their eyes fixed on Lin Fan, all their attention focused on him. It was clear that, in this situation, the slightest slip from Lin Fan would trigger them to strike, intent on killing him.
“Cao Mengde, have you come today to lay your cards on the table with me?” Liu Xie’s gaze grew colder as he spoke.
Three days after his wedding, Yang Mu brought his bride to the largest cemetery on the outskirts of Qinzhou, standing before Cao Jiahui’s grave to offer comfort to her spirit.
To ordinary people, those in the Profound Sky Realm were beings untouchable and lofty, usually playing the role of hunters. Today, however, the situation was reversed; they had become the hunted.
Of course, this was thanks to last year’s comprehensive acquisition of the Tuo La passenger car brand, which led to greater market recognition.
What pained Chang Qin most was Chang Youxi’s magnanimous refusal. In the eyes of others, this was a sign of Chang Youxi’s broad-mindedness, but to Chang Qin, it was a deep insult. She had schemed endlessly to contend with Chang Youxi.
Chang Youxi, worried about Ning Shuang’s illness, ran madly back to the courtyard. Panting heavily as he entered, he saw Cai’er feeding Ning Shuang spoonfuls of bright yellow medicine.
It was best to eat light food in the morning, but out in the wild there were no choices. Chang Youxi had roasted chicken for breakfast, which left his stomach uncomfortable all day. The soldiers, being men, had much sturdier constitutions than Chang Youxi; they ate the same roasted chicken but were completely fine, going about their duties as usual.
He was quite certain that Daoist Gou’s formation was not the same as his own. As for whether it was an illusion array, he wasn’t entirely sure.
Kidnapping a princess was already a capital crime; even if she were released, it would do no good. It was better to use the princess as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Fu Juan—perhaps there was still room for compromise.
The last Daoist brushed his sleeve and walked heavily onto the stage, sweeping with his duster and muttering words under his breath that no one could understand.
Each one was both weak and filthy, plagued by disease like cockroaches, daring to covet them—truly, they had grown tired of living.
A eunuch announced, and Qin Shumin entered wearing a yellow robe, followed by the Regent by his side.
Qing Yan, unable to bear it, reached out and took a few books, turning to meet the innocent gaze of her cousin.
In the hands of the Primordial Lord, such things were ordinary, for the Primordial Lord himself symbolized infinity and chaos; treasures like the Chaos Pearl were countless, easily conjured as ornaments for the Jade Pure lineage.
If Chen Chang’an wanted them to teach Jia Jiyou and the others, he could understand the reasoning, since Jia Jiyou and his companions were Chen Chang’an’s close friends.
Through endless war and conquest, Luo Jia had lost count. He never liked to burn worlds with war as bloodthirsty generals did; from beginning to end, Luo Jia only wished to share the light of reason and faith with lost worlds.
As she was about to speak again, Ji Hangcheng’s phone suddenly rang, and he hurriedly answered the call.
Danxing Jin spoke solemnly to Xifeng, who nodded respectfully upon hearing this and then departed.
She knew that the key to today’s compensation lawsuit was money—the amount they demanded and whether the Prefect would support it would decide the outcome, and everything depended on evidence.
