Chapter 101: The Conspiracy

A man in plain clothes had anger blazing in his eyes. He lowered his gaze, his stare weighted with a suffocating pressure, fixing Zhang Fan as though he meant to see straight through the boy.

What was more, none of the children wore shoes. They all went barefoot along roads strewn with hard clods of earth and gravel, without the least fear of hurting their feet.

"That kind of feeling? Which one?" Li Xiang asked, not quite understanding her meaning.

Zhang Hongyan gave a bitter smile. If she did not trust Leng Ziyue now, what else could she do? Did she have any other choice? Leng Ziyue was clearly her last refuge.

Yet at that very moment, the Crow-Clad Kingdom was facing a crisis, and Xue Shao had somehow found a divine disciple.

Zhang Tianyi glanced at the time. It had just passed four in the afternoon, and the temperature had also dropped quite a bit. If there was no need to hurry on, setting up camp now would be a good choice.

For safety's sake, the talismans were doubled, sticking directly to Xiao Chen and pinning him in place.

Seeing that You Yunling had no objection, Xiao Chen took out a box from behind him. Inside were one hundred low-grade spirit stones. You Yunling was currently at the middle stage of the Transcendent realm; with her talent, these spirit stones gave her a very good chance of reaching the Golden Core realm.

With a thunderous bang, their fists and palms collided again. The instant their true essence exploded apart, both were hurled backward at the same time.

He called Yang Zi and told him there was important new evidence here, asking him to come at once. In less than ten minutes, Yang Zi had rushed straight over from the city bureau.

Whether Fu Zheng had uncovered it himself or inferred the detached identity from a few casual remarks by his younger brother and sister-in-law, it all served to show just how formidable this man was.

Two words surfaced in Huo San's mind. He froze for a moment, then gave the slightest frown.

This time, it was his own carelessness that let the host of 007 get the better of him. By his understanding of his own host, if he ever got serious, not to mention a place on the F list, even breaking into the top three would be possible.

At those words, Xiao Hua was struck with terror and fell heavily onto the ground. Her scheme had been seen through by the Empress Dowager, and her face turned deathly pale. Suspicion flickered in her eyes. How had the Empress Dowager seen that she was not sincere?

When her hand touched his forehead, he actually felt a tingling at his scalp and trembled slightly.

Night Owl narrowed his eyes and stared at his younger sister for a long while before waving a hand, sending someone at once to investigate.

Only after Pei Huan's figure disappeared did the tall, slender youth withdraw his gaze. He covered his eyes with one hand, the corners of his lips curving into a faintly silly smile.

Chu Tiankuo asked with concern, "Yan Xiang, what's wrong?" He watched as Yan Xiang came toward him from the other side of the bed, her expression somewhat strange.

Cheng Yinan and Cheng Yibei neither gained the upper hand nor suffered a defeat in the end. Both came out in a sour mood, only to discover that the person had run off.

Nothing had gone wrong, so why on earth had he gone out of his way to curry favor with his own host?

He was never close to this family in the first place. If not for his father's dying thoughts that still lingered in his mind, he would not have given any consideration to Old Lady Song.

Zhang Xu said yes when he heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words, and then went to help her with the various things needed for the opening ceremony.

Even after deducting costs, Bai Ningming had merely contributed a few ideas; it was almost pure profit.

Ding Zhaojing let out a long, relieved breath and raised a hand to wipe his forehead, only to realize that at some point it had already broken out in a cold sweat.

He sat there, merged with stone, with water, and with every stretch of forest. The boy had a naturally hard, unyielding face that carried an innate force of intimidation, making others willing, even eager, to submit to him.

Yu Sheng had always been as soft-tempered as one could be. Because of his impaired eyes, he seldom even went out. Yet today he had not only stepped outside against all expectation, but had also spoken to himself with such rare sharpness.

But now that Lin Qianrou was pregnant, and the crown prince refused to admit the child was his, it was nothing less than a slap in the Empress Dowager's face.

Shen Ruoruo looked at the two humans before her and asked in puzzlement. Clearly, this was not the first time she had encountered awakened ones seeking help.

"No need, I can manage by myself." After saying that, Lu Xiaoxiao got down from the hospital bed and walked toward the bathroom.

Behind her, pitying gazes followed close like shadows, along with looks that clearly enjoyed the spectacle. Ruan Qiu's lips curved into a faint smile as she trailed after them, ignoring those eyes completely.

The moment she entered the room and found no one there, she threw herself into my arms. My room was a bit messy, but the air was very fresh, and the quilt was neatly arranged. Wu Xia immediately pushed me onto the bed and tried to steal a kiss. Today I had taken her to see the villagers, and she felt that her place in my heart had been firmly established, so she was extremely happy.

Kells took one look at him and knew that Lu Xiao had made no agreement with Kenwit. That was his own private matter, so he immediately shut his mouth.

Because they were only checking the past two days' movements, they had not discovered the fact that Jiang Lili was going to start work at Yunlan next week.

Shen Ruyi was almost amused to death by anger. Her own father had been a hopeless fool back then; without her helping him, how could he ever have amounted to anything?

Old Madam Fu smiled with narrowed, delighted eyes, pulling Jiang Lili to the greenhouse late at night to tidy the flowers.

What the firefighters said next was nothing more than the rules for purchasing supplies. Qu You could not be bothered to listen. Before long, people were already boarding the boat in high spirits to go buy supplies.

Qin Beiyu looked up at his own broad, rough father. He knew that although his father appeared coarse and stout on the outside, he had a gentle and delicate heart.

The spring plowing was finished. From here on, you can leave things to Uncle Zhang. For daily upkeep, there is also Uncle Wu Kai. If things are finished on the northeast side, he will come back too, and once he is back, he will tend these crops.

"How I make my living is none of your concern." Jiang Lili shifted slightly to the side, keeping her distance from him.

There were indeed some problems here, but the crucial evidence still could not be found. Shen Long was not in a hurry, however. It was enough to discover that Liang Jin's conduct was improper. The fact that he had not made a fatal mistake for now did not mean he would not in the future. Not finding anything in the safe did not mean there was nothing elsewhere. He had patience and time to spare.

Shimeng of course knew whom the Ghost Emperor meant: the Divine Emperor who had sealed him in the abyss back then. If this tremor had truly been caused by the Divine Emperor, it would mean that the Divine Emperor's power could shake the entire world, perhaps even the whole universe.

Yang Yinglong seemed to have been startled. He suddenly sat up from the luohan bed, but his expression was still fixed in the dazed, unfinished state that follows climax.
