Chapter 97: The First Female Grand Incense Master

Mom, as long as I’m all right, that’s enough. Let the rest take its course. Even if we can’t send them to prison, Lawyer Li will definitely help me fight for more compensation.

Taohua choked up for a moment and finally understood how her young master felt. Her brother really was a little foolish, and she did not know what to do about it.

Jing Haoran and Su San both felt a chill run through them, especially when they thought of the corpses strewn all around.

When Wan Qi said this, Min He suddenly looked up. Wan Qi ignored his gaze and directly called Mingye.

The Princess of Linshang had arranged things for Song Shu in order to protect Song Jing’s reputation, so she could never use Song Shu’s name to set a trap.

“Who on earth has nothing better to do than put a stone right in the middle of the road?” Jiang Shichi could not help cursing.

Even if her voice was as faint as a mosquito’s, her soft calls could still be heard. From beginning to end, the name on her lips had always been Xiao Gucheng. What on earth had he done for her to cling to him so desperately?

The instructor in charge of reconnaissance should have been one of the more capable people among them. When he walked up to Instructor Wu, his expression was still somewhat disappointed, clearly uncertain whether the instructions Wu had given him earlier had been correct.

It was said that her mother had left behind a vast inheritance before she died. As for how much it was worth, it was probably half the fortune of the Gu family conglomerate.

Then, hidden in the lining, he found a receipt: a bank safe-deposit box rental slip. And the bank was none other than the headquarters branch he had followed Li Xiande to last time. Back then, after Li Xiande went in, he had run outside to investigate, but found nothing.

“Yes. Controlling your whereabouts is the first thing I need to do. I want to know where you are at all times. Even if I’m not by your side, I’ll still feel at ease. Understand?” As soon as he finished speaking, he gathered her into his arms. Seeing her smile, he lowered his head and kissed her.

“I noticed you hardly said anything this afternoon.” Zhang Qi thought of how, the entire afternoon, they had been the ones doing all the talking while Ziyun sat quietly nearby without saying a word, so obediently. At the time, Zhang Qi had rather regretted bringing them along, afraid that Ziyun might be unhappy.

Ziyun nodded. For her, that was enough. She did not need anything earth-shaking. She only wanted to stay by his side like this.

“No need! Why waste the effort? The more we pay attention to him, the more pleased with himself he becomes! Better to act as if we see nothing and ask nothing!” Dabao said.

Xu Zheng arrived at the prison and walked straight toward the execution chamber. Two court officers stood guard at the door; when they saw him approach, they saluted him in turn.

First, in the late emperor’s time, the harem had seemed harmonious and content. If she were to set rules here and demand formal morning greetings, it would seem far too deliberate.

Huang Yunfan escorted Yun Yu over, and who would have thought that when the two of them saw such a scene, they would still have the heart to keep chatting? So happy, and he had never once seen Mo Yan smile so beautifully.

It was just that he had not had time to ask then. Now that she mentioned it, of course he had to ask again.

The blade surged with bloody qi, slashing down upon Sun Tianlin from above. If he were struck, Sun Tianlin would surely have no way to survive.

With Shrek Academy’s current lineup, when they reached the later matches against stronger teams, she knew perfectly well that she would have no chance of taking the field.

Aside from Yu Yan needing to explain a few things to the people staying behind, Shu Ran also followed the main group upward.

As they passed by Kajieliana, Anna even asked about the location of the planned apartment.

Fang Ye fell silent for a moment, as though thinking. Faced with everyone’s gazes, there was not the slightest ripple at the corners of his eyes.

Before he had even finished speaking, Geng Qing’s corpse startled him badly. The Huang father and son, seeing those severed limbs and broken arms, went pale at once and began vomiting on the spot.

After stepping onto the stage, Su Ning went straight to the center seat and sat down, facing a room packed with reporters.

She thanked him for letting her know that she could truly be enveloped by love, rather than being bound by the Chen family’s suffocating, false, and oppressive version of affection.

After all, the apocalypse had already lasted for a very long time. Those who could still survive to this day were never simple people.

“It seems Mr. Angus must have remembered wrongly.” Li Pu sidestepped the madman’s topic. He blinked and playfully pinched Margaret’s waist.

The audience had already raised their hands, ready to applaud, but after hearing the final part, they seemed suddenly frozen in place. Their hands hung in the air, their mouths fell open, and every face was filled with terror.

If not for the ambition of Xu Zongheng, the old master of the Xu family, perhaps none of this would ever have happened, and the entire Floating Pagoda City would have continued to develop in peace.

The two sides argued endlessly, but in the end Gan Zhuozhi won. He said they could leave if they wanted, but Yang Jiuhuai here could not wait any longer; he was forced by the situation and had no choice at all.

Luo Hao estimated that even Daoist cultivators above the fifth rank would probably find it difficult to remain in the spirit realm for long.

Zhu Nao smiled faintly. “Probably the crickets have started chirping.” After saying that, he returned to his seat and continued flipping through the account book.

A joke, of course. The arrival of a duke of the highest rank was enough to leave the local prefect in profound shock. Perhaps news among the common people did not travel quickly, but every prefectural office would learn of the slightest stir in the capital at Chang’an at the earliest possible moment.

Among all those people, the one who understood Li Zhi’s thoughts most clearly was the old King Ming. This young man had only just cured his wife, and already he was thinking of helping him dispel the rather somber atmosphere.

Perhaps that day she had been in too much of a hurry to find Yiyi and missed it. She had never imagined that Fugui would be the first among them to marry.

“A black hole appeared, purple light descended, and purple radiance began to seep out from within the body,” Elder Li murmured. At the same time, he looked toward Ning Yue’s forehead in disbelief. A purple diamond-shaped mark had appeared between Ning Yue’s brows. Upon seeing this, Elder Li broke into laughter, as though he had gone mad.
