Chapter 39

By all accounts, Liang You was confined to her home under the watch of servants, making it impossible for her to have escaped.

"Hmph, if anything happens to the young master, we will kill you immediately to prevent future trouble. It would be best if you didn't harbor such thoughts!" one of the special forces soldiers snorted coldly.

"Brother Lin, I don't know much about this either, but only thirty thousand soldiers returned for reinforcements. You should ask my grandfather about the specifics; he has been mentioning you these past few days," Li Yexu said, shaking his head with hesitation.

The Dali Temple manages order throughout Chang'an, much like the Protectorate General's office in the Shanyu Protectorate. The Minister of the Dali Temple is a third-rank official, a high-ranking member of the imperial court with vast authority. Within Chang'an, every area except the Imperial City falls under the jurisdiction of the Dali Temple.

"Fang Chen, consider it. Join our City Defense Department," Xu Jian said, more concerned with persuading Fang Chen to join them.

The content of the post claimed that Song Qingyu was being kept by someone outside the school, frequently picked up by various luxury cars and seen at high-end venues.

"Listen up." Zihuang rambled on, successfully fooling Tu Jie. In truth, Zihuang himself had no idea what the Feather Emperor and the principal had discussed.

"Hehe," Zihuang giggled blankly, signaling his agreement, while Mu Yi nodded in silent default.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. It's not safe here; we should leave first!" Zi Feng advised.

People were still being ushered into the auction venue by attendants from time to time, and Chi Hua took the opportunity to observe the attendees.

Many people heard this and wondered if the exceptionally poised young man in Long Yuan's group could be the one they were looking for. A kind soul came over to tell Liu Qitian.

Su Qian'ai rushed into the kitchen like a whirlwind and, sure enough, found a large porcelain bowl identical to the one in front of Cheng Yining sitting by the stove, filled to the brim with noodles.

The windows of the principal's office seemed never to have been opened, the gray curtains always clashing with the sunlight outside. Principal Long stood behind that unopened window, remaining silent for a long time.

"Only three pieces of equipment dropped, but no diamond-tier items, just three crystal-tier pieces, along with other elemental gems and reinforcement props." After Xing Qi answered, she sent all the dropped items to Chen Yi and gave him the equipment.

Suddenly, Su Qian'ai felt as if they were back to the moment they first met months ago, when her father was still alive and she was still cherished by her entire family.

Opening the friends list, she saw that Ziyun Ling was still online, but Jian Yun Qian Lai was not. She wondered what price she could get by selling to Ziyun Ling.

"It's nothing. I am also very happy to be able to see the President," Shi Cheng said with a smile.

"Formless Dharma Array!" Sima immediately cast the spell to draw a barrier. This could create a sealed space within a hundred-meter radius; as long as he had spiritual energy to support it, nothing could get out.

"We were just out for a stroll with nothing to do, never expecting to encounter such a powerful magical beast. It's fortunate we met you; otherwise, we would likely have perished," Kater said, looking at Yang Yan with gratitude and speaking calmly.

All Jun Yichuan could do was pass on this internal cultivation technique, which was not easily imparted to outsiders, to Nangong Yi'er. What she could achieve with it would depend on her own destiny.

Zhu Li glanced at Qin Qin but did not reply, only saying, "It's getting late, let us rest." When he said rest, he meant it. He extinguished the lamp, closed his eyes, and fell asleep just like that.

Su Mi did not know what he was doing and thought he had something to say to her, so she lowered her head. But the moment she did, she was caught by his strong hand and kissed deeply.

She scanned her surroundings and, finding nothing amiss, Jun Yunqing frowned at the Supreme Elder, wondering what trick he had up his sleeve.

His son was Qin Zinan's Achilles' heel. The killing intent on him vanished instantly. Seeing Qin Zinan's crestfallen face, Su Mi felt the time was right.

From far down the street, a group of Northern Border soldiers with grief-stricken faces approached, led by the formation master Xi.

Yang Yunxi was furious but helpless. Those people outside restrained Madam He and the Wu family, but had they not also restrained her?

This red-gold grade binding rope was indeed rare, but no matter how rare, it was just a one-time consumable! If it couldn't capture the Hunyuan Beast, it would be useless. How could it compare to a finished, high-grade Hunyuan Beast?

The black Phaeton pulled to a steady stop in front of Fuhua Real Estate. Before the person in the front could get out to open the door, the passenger in the back had already opened it himself.

Because the punch Oshima Yoshio had just thrown had, for some reason, suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Li Weidong shook his head helplessly. He couldn't go back to the hospital dormitory, so he rented a single room. It was about thirty square meters, with a monthly rent of 1,500, fully furnished, requiring one month's rent as a deposit and three months paid in advance.

The mountain path led into the city, where he found the home of a wealthy man. The moment the man saw the ginseng, his eyes lit up. As it turned out, he was an expert who knew this was the Ginseng Maiden, a once-in-a-century find. He paid a high price to buy it.

"Done! I'll find a sharp-minded and nimble-footed person to serve you. If you have any orders, just tell him, and he will take care of it for you. When I return, I'll install a telephone in your house to make it easier for us master and apprentice to stay in touch!" Yuan Keding said, bowed, and turned to leave.
