Volume 1, Chapter 48: The Garrison Without Armor, A Righteous Deed Shines Bright!

“Out of provisions?”

Qin Feng looked astonished, a faint gravity and confusion showing between his brows.

“Given my humble status, how could I presume to sit with all of you, honored lords?” Su Muyao’s voice was cool and clear. Her words were humble, but there was not the slightest trace of humility in her eyes. After saying this lightly, she turned and walked away without looking back.

At once, Ye Yinsu and the Flower Lord were utterly baffled by the trending headlines, each marked with the explosive tag. Yet it was obvious from the way the comments were being steered that someone was trying to smear Ye Yinsu, and the fiercely protective Flower Lord immediately frowned.

“With me here, do you still need a protective talisman? I’ve set up a formation in this room, so sleep easy. Nothing will happen.” Chu Yue sat down cross-legged. The spiritual energy here was considerably denser than in the imperial capital, and the quilts on the bed were slightly damp, so she simply decided not to sleep.

“Of course I missed Yao Yao. I came especially to see you.” Baili Yanmo glanced at Su Muyao as though casually, his gaze carrying a seductive charm.

“These four sisterly beauties start at fifty spirit stones. I wonder who will win their favor?” the portly proprietor said with a grin.

The weight in her hand increased. Carrying the bag, Chu Yue opened it and found a set of clothes similar to those they were wearing. “These are for me?”

“Chu Yue, our commander had these prepared especially for you. They’re custom military supplies—the quality is top-notch.” Si Zishi did his best to provide timely assistance, making his presence known every now and then.

Meanwhile, the three people inside the formation had no idea that the challenge awaiting them had already been dramatically intensified by a certain irresponsible matchmaker.

Hearing a slight tremor in her voice, Lan Xingyan did not know who she was, but from her words he could infer that she must have known his mother.

The blue-eyed man could not refute the uniformed man’s doubts on that point, yet he was still unwilling to believe them. All he could do was stare coldly at the man in uniform.

The greasy, weathered door suddenly flew open. Inside, the place looked as though it had endured a great fire, with chaotic ruins and charred traces everywhere. It was utterly empty and silent.

Hu Yonglin and Zhang Xuan’er were also at the most critical stage of their cultivation. With these old masters guiding them, their progress would surely be twice as effective with half the effort, so they accepted with great delight.

Si Zhen shook her head. What a child. Just moments ago, he had been clamoring for the secret recipe, and now he was already complaining that it was too troublesome.

Ye Lan’er understood his intentions from Murong Ke’s sharply delineated movements. So he was looking down on her after all.

“Heavenly Emperor, remember your promise!” the Heaven-Piercing Demon Emperor snorted. At that moment, his head was completely shaved and his upper body bare, terrifying demonic patterns covering his flesh. A rugged, wild aura surged into the hearts of all who saw him.

Still, after meeting Xue Yan, once they exposed Wang Heng’s scheme, they would have done Xue Yan a tremendous favor. This mission should therefore be completed perfectly.

Yang Xuan slowly made his way into Golden Rooster Lake. At that moment, the lake was utterly tranquil. Many of the fish had stopped swimming and were floating quietly in the water as they cultivated. Although they had already reached the Form Manifestation Realm, catching them would be effortless for Yang Xuan.

That evening, Ye Xing came to my place. It was already completely dark. I had finished preparing dinner and was sitting on the living-room sofa, watching television absentmindedly while waiting for him to return.

Just then, someone pushed through the human wall and squeezed inside. It was He Tianshan, holding a bath towel in her hand.

Over the past two years, the Prince of Pingxi had even been able to interfere in the promotion and demotion of court officials. That was why the Empress Dowager had no choice but to rely on Ao Bai now. She had to make the powerful ministers restrain one another and maintain a balance, doing everything possible to keep the emperor safe until he grew up and assumed personal rule, after which she could deal with the others.
