Chapter 60: Zhang Ao is Sentenced to Death, Lu Xuan: Is This My Fault?
"Greetings, Master."
"Liu Ying greets Master."
Upon entering the courtyard, Lü Zhi and Liu Ying bowed simultaneously. Lu Xuan thought for a moment, then stood up as well, saying slowly, "I cannot accept such a formal bow from the Empress and the Crown Prince."
His attitude was not as rigid as before, nor was his tone as harsh as when he faced Liu Bang.
This was Liu Bang's fault.
He had no reason to make things difficult for Lü Zhi and Liu Ying, a mother and son. That would simply be blurring right and wrong and holding onto the wrong party.
Before he could log off this time, the other person sent him a friend request. After a brief thought, feeling that this person seemed quite reliable and that it might be good to consult them with any future problems, he accepted.
Passing completely through Magneto's body, Wuyue suddenly swung his right hand backward from his ribs, his thumb and middle finger aimed directly at the enemy's back as two fierce finger-swords shot out.
As soon as the floodgate opened, Jean Grey felt something was amiss. While retreating, she threw out her hands to deploy a telekinetic field in front of her, and it was this instinctive reaction that saved her life.
Right, she finally remembered why the name Yu Xinwan sounded so familiar to her.
The Chen family had long coveted the wealth in Bei Zhongping's hands, but with Bei Jincheng's protection and the constraints of family rules, no one could touch him.
The crewmen caught more fish than they could eat, so they poured them, along with the unfrozen seawater on the fish scales, directly into crushed ice made of niter, sending them back to the capital upon their return to show filial piety to their fathers, elder brothers, and teachers.
The two utterly refused to believe this was an accident. Early in the morning, they came straight to his office and blocked the door, explicitly demanding to see Wuyue.
Fu Meng grunted an affirmative response, then gave instructions outside the carriage. The carriage then meandered slowly and casually through the four streets.
Raising his eyes to look... the man outside the carriage window seemed to be drunk, holding onto the car body with one hand and bending over to vomit violently.
Holding the bead, Chen Feng paced back and forth inside the room. He infused the bead with magical energy and true qi, soaked it in water, and roasted it over fire, yet it never revealed any information.
A gust of wind followed her movement, smoothing out Tang Tang's messy hair considerably. Too stunned to be surprised, Tang Tang hurriedly fluffed her hair, and after a few quick touches, her scattered locks returned to their original disheveled state.
"My name is Maeda Haru, and I'm the class monitor of Class B. By the way, classmate Mu Feng hasn't gone home so late—could it be that you've already joined some club?" Maeda glanced inside the classroom, where the cleaning had been thoroughly done. Habitually closing the door, she walked with Mu Fengye toward the school gate.
"Rustle, rustle." Beneath the surface, the originally solid ground had formed a continuously sinking quicksand pit.
"Master, your tea has gone cold; I'll pour you a fresh cup." With that, she snatched the teacup fiercely from Chu Ziliu's hand.
He really put on an expression of utter heroism, just like a Predator about to march onto the battlefield. It brought to mind a line of poetry: The wind blows desolate, the Yi River is cold; once the brave warrior departs, he shall not return! Watching Chen Feng put on such an effortless display of pretentiousness, Demon Spirit broke out in two lines of cold sweat on his forehead.
"Stop wasting breath! Save your energy and just follow us up! There will be a path above!" The one answering Fatty wasn't Fourth Master! Surprisingly, it was Uncle Niu. Judging by his tone, he was brimming with confidence, as if he knew for a fact there was a way out at the top!
"Alright," Nojiko and Alvida nodded in agreement. "However," as they walked, Wang Feng looked to the other side where the subordinates of the Iron Sword Saint Wu Li and the Lecherous Sword Saint Ximen Kou were quietly staying in a room, not moving at all.
An arrow brushed past Vera's head, and Sakura leaned weakly against the tree, the black obsidian she had just condensed dissipating once again.
Pulling the sword back in his hand, he spun it into a blooming arc, knocking aside the incoming wolf-tooth club. The ancient sword vibrated incessantly, possessing the function of deflecting force.
Hydra had many departments, and each could operate independently, much like the mythological Hydra where every head functioned on its own.
Catching sight of that cigar, Rahu narrowed his eyes, then pressed his left hand against the grip of the pistol at his waist while slowly reaching his right hand inside to grab the cigar. Should the zombie make any sudden moves, Rahu was completely confident in his own ability to instantly draw his gun and blow the zombie's head off.
Immediately, as everyone realized who all of this was directed at, their gazes toward He Qi changed completely.
With no other choice, Yun Yun had to bring up her background, hoping to intimidate the other party into not acting rashly.
"Hmph! Even if the world has changed, it's still not your turn—a sordid and shameless person—to act as a noble princess. It's simply an insult to the very word 'princess'. You didn't know that, did you?" With a thousand and one flames, Ma Feifei also vanished from the human world, eradicated without a shred of mercy.
Meanwhile, the faces of the various martial artists from the Ham family already wore the triumphant expressions of victors.
"Dammit! You haven't even heard of my reputation? You must be some country bumpkin!" Wushier said through clenched teeth.
An aura swept across the heavens and earth, forcing those with low cultivation levels in the vicinity to retreat. At the same time, a surge of power continued to erupt. Chen Lei gazed into the distance where those Six Paths of Reincarnation Fists were sweeping across the world like demons, making the powers of the Ten Lords appear exceptionally fragile.
After the house was built, the costs exceeded the budget of five hundred liang! With other miscellaneous expenses, it ended up costing nearly six hundred liang more in silver. Fortunately, the house was well built, and after inspecting it, Director Bi settled the accounts with them.
The first person he naturally saw was Gaara floating in the air, since Kai recognized Gaara, and then the person beside Gaara.
Lü Hongzhuang first picked up a few of Mingyue's talisman papers, and then picked up one of Li Taipu's talisman papers. Just as she was about to close the lid, she suddenly remembered the old man's words, and after a moment of hesitation, she took all the talisman papers along.
No wonder those ghost-head broadswords in TV shows were always carried strapped to the back; from a scientific standpoint, there was simply no other way to manage the scabbard.
Following that, the Beidou Temple on Tiannan Mountain, one of the two major ancestral courts of the northern Taoist sects, subsequently announced its well wishes for the successful convening of the Fenglai Temple's Buddhist Assembly of the Victorious in Combat, stating that the temple master himself would lead the various elders to attend and appreciate the sacred treasures alongside fellow practitioners across the world.
A very familiar voice rang in Xu Jie's ear. He turned his head to see Yan Fei sitting beside him, ordering a cocktail from the bartender.
"Naturally it's true. I have no reason to lie to you," Cen Zheng said slowly. Indeed, there was no reason to lie.
