Volume 1 Chapter 32 Expel This Rebellious Son from the Family Registry

“You’re definitely looking down on us if you’re not holding it,” Liu Qianjin threw out the remark bluntly, his gaze fixed on Zhang Minghao.

“That’s my mom!” Qin Yu said, while Qin Ying, sitting on tiptoe, met his eyes. With hands on his hips, he looked rather endearing.

At his command, the special forces soldiers each pulled out a roughly ten-centimeter-long device from their backpacks and attached it to the muzzle of their submachine guns. This was a silencer developed over the past few years by the Vanguard Army Research Institute—a perfect match for the special forces.

Yujin Xiu pursed her lips, choosing not to continue the topic. She sat beside Tang Zong and poured herself a cup of tea.

Chu Ling and Qin Ying frowned at the suggestion, yet neither could come up with a better plan.

Everyone was stunned—never before had they seen Yue Li in pink clothing, and unexpectedly, it suited her so well.

Back at school, classmates joked around, calling one “Brother Bao,” another “Sister Lin.” These playful banters became common on the playground, with lively scenes of teasing, laughter, chasing, and running.

The anger, once suppressed deep in his chest, surged up again suddenly, igniting a fire throughout his body.

Shen Jiu’er leaned against his chest and then suddenly became still, a strange feeling flowing through her heart.

Wang Yiran also returned, and judging by appearances alone, he seemed uninjured.

This broken path was a line segment; the midpoint was called the center. Near the center was a gear, yet the other end of the pipeline led nowhere at all.

Pushing open the half-closed door, a foul stench wafted out. This was the kind of smell often found in the homes of elderly, single men. Covering my nose, I tugged on Zuhan’s sleeve and stepped inside.

“Po Jun, brother, your life’s on you now!” Zhao Tiezhu glanced at Po Jun, then shouted sharply, scraping his dagger fiercely against the partition.

To the north of the Jiesha district lay a barren wasteland, devoid of vegetation and with harsh conditions. Natural timber was extremely precious. The earliest explorers who discovered the Blue Star went on a rampant spree of mining and logging for huge profits. This area had suffered some of the worst damage.

Hilton merely gazed at Milisic with seductive eyes, offering no reply. His demeanor clearly indicated tacit acceptance.

I told myself quietly that Zuhan was just visiting a classmate’s home for feng shui consultation, yet my heart pounded so fiercely it felt like it had risen to my throat. I instinctively pulled out the soul-dividing talisman hanging from my neck. Would he be alright? He was only going to check the feng shui.

Thinking this, Rick Carle called for a timeout. He couldn’t allow Milisic to continue performing like this.

It was still morning, and there was plenty of time before the next day, but both Ye Wei and Barry were injured. Jack dared not take risks and decided to delay for a day, letting Ye Wei and Barry treat their wounds before setting out for the cave.

After speaking, he hurriedly left Ye Zheng’s residence to inform his younger brother, Niu Sanyan.

Laughing heartily, Xiao Fengyan said, “With your cultivation level today, the four of us truly aren’t your match. But what if we added these people?” At once, shadows flickered around Yun Chen, and sixty-four men in black appeared instantly.

That crafty old fox—it was no wonder he accepted an invitation from a private enterprise. Such a talented young man was too valuable to remain in Songjiang County. If he worked in the city, a few years’ training and he could independently shoulder great responsibilities, Bai Yuzhong thought to himself.

Meanwhile, the demonic light from Mo Yinghan’s Eternal Night Demon Realm had already swallowed more than half of Yi Feifan’s sword dragon, and the thousands of Xuan Sect disciples on Yunzhou’s surface suffered serious injuries from the dragon’s collapse.

The faces of the Barbarian Mane cultivators changed drastically, each filled with murderous intent. Ye Qing’s words cut off all their paths. For cultivators, to have their powers ruined was even harder to bear than death.

Yet he also knew that the robbers Shu Yutong mentioned might not come to Tianguang Province at all. Even if they did, they might not come to Yunzhou. Moreover, Yunzhou’s high-end jewelry market wasn’t limited to just the Yuheng Company.

Of course, some might feign ignorance deliberately, playing the fool to appear weak, all to achieve the goal of killing their enemies.

Ye Qing was slightly disappointed but, upon reconsidering that he had finally found a direction, was not too disheartened.

“Shut up!” Hua Weimin and Hua Weijian shouted almost in unison at the Hua family members who questioned Mo Wen.

Because Jiang Mengqi’s voice was loud, Ming Yifeng, Huangfu Dingguo, and others not far behind Yun Chen also heard her arrogant remarks. Ming Yifeng was somewhat aware of the complicated feelings between Jiang Mengqi and Yun Chen, but Huangfu Dingguo, Xue Qingqiu, and Jiang Yunxing wore looks of anger.

The massive whirlpool in midair roared violently, as if an ancient deity had been thoroughly enraged. More thunderbolts, carrying the power to obliterate worlds, struck fiercely. Fortunately, the surrounding ground was protected by seals; otherwise, it would have been shattered beyond recognition.

“You stay here. I’ll go in and rescue Xia Meng,” I said sternly, without time to deliberate further.

Accompanied by a chilling, low howl, the heavy mace descended like a storm of wind and thunder, crashing down upon them.
