Chapter 128: The Disappearance of the Young Girl

Huai'an stared blankly, unable to react for a moment.

Zhu Huaqiong, who had been following quietly not far behind, brightened up. She hurried forward and leaned in, asking, "Lady Bai, is what you said true?"

Bai Huan was startled. "You—why are you here?"

Zhu Huaqiong tossed her long hair. "Haven't I been here all along? You two were so engrossed in discussing men that I couldn't get a word in."

Huai'an and Bai Huan both blushed instantly.

Huai'an was incensed.

Having left the city, Ilona found a forest and hid inside. Since those monsters were specifically attacking humans, surely there would be fewer of them in the forest, right?

"Is there any danger for him going up there?" Su Yi asked, watching Zhang Yong as he groped his way forward.

Ye Xuan did not know exactly what treasures lay beneath the volcanic lava, but judging by the way the setup was arranged, they certainly could not be ordinary artifacts, which made his heart itch with impatience.

Qiu Bairen did not hesitate. After nodding to the group, he stepped into the blue circular portal first. Qiu Yijian followed closely behind, and Liu Dingtian was the last to step inside.

Chen Lin nodded. Without standing on ceremony, he casually ordered three dishes and dismissed the waiter.

"Although the imperial family only nominally leads these towns, they still pay close attention to key locations and dispatch management and troops to guard them. For example, Mountain City is overseen by Xuan City, and the city guards of Xuan City are controlled by the imperial family's own forces," the man continued.

"Pah!" Zhao Jing spat at the fat man before her. A sharp sword appeared in her hand, and with a sidestep, she dismounted and charged straight at him.

Therefore, after Qin Ming knocked and entered, Cheng Xin did not greet him as warmly as she usually did.

His mother was so angry her face turned pale, but she could not bear to stop him. As Gu An walked out of the temple, he discovered hundreds of guards suspended in the mountains, blocking his path.

He had worked so hard for so long, and it had been difficult enough to get Ye Qingcheng to set aside her misgivings and be with him.

"No, Sandro thinks he has already succeeded. As long as we cover our tracks well, he won't be found out," Mu Zi'ang said, holding Ye Qingcheng's hand tightly, his voice remarkably calm and composed.

At dusk, clouds filled the sky, and the setting sun bathed the heavens in a glow like a beauty with a light touch of rouge, enchanting and moving. Heya and Murong Feiming arrived at the General's Mansion together. This time, Murong Yufei and Mu Ge brought Mingming to greet them at the front gate. Mingming was much more sensible than last time; upon seeing them, he knew to bow and address them.

"Heya, don't you agree?" Murong Feiming shifted his tone, his voice suddenly turning tender. Only, the person he was addressing had changed to Helian Heya.

Kang Xin stepped out of the car and looked toward Zhang Yan, who was also walking toward him. "Boss Yan, why didn't you give me a heads-up before visiting? I could have prepared properly!" Kang Xin’s pace was steady and unhurried, and the smile on his face was just right—neither servile nor overbearing.

As she spoke, Ruo Haimu's tears fell onto Baiyou Liuxi's palm. "My daughter-in-law, for your sake, I have even deceived my own son."

It was only later that Heya realized that once she took over the management of the Mu family's business, her plan to leave would have to be postponed yet again. But since she had already taken on the task, she had to do it well; at the very least, she had to find a successor before she could leave. Thus, while handling the business affairs, she began scouting for a replacement.

He let his eyelids droop, looking listless and half-dead, as he inserted the key into the lock and turned it with his eyes closed.

Murong Yinzhu naturally understood Prince Ning's concern. Yin Luoxuan represented a nation; if he were to fall out with the Thousand Phoenix Kingdom, it would mean enmity between the Yin Xun Empire and the Thousand Phoenix Kingdom.

"I want to know now. You tell me, and I will eat by myself," Wei Rou'ti said, holding her rice bowl and taking the chopsticks from his hand.
