Masked man... It's you.

The cabin door opened, and Bai Ci was the first to step down.

He took a deep breath of the air and looked up at the boundless sky. The dawn's early sun was just leaping over the horizon, its light not yet dazzling, with magnificent pink clouds and star clusters still faintly visible.

Bai He stood at the hatch, looking out at the endless wilderness.

This should have been a forest with an exceptional ecosystem.

Fifteen years ago, Planet M was the habitat of the Celestial Avian tribe, boasting a vegetation coverage rate of up to 80% and abundant natural resources.

It all started with suspecting Lu Lingfeng; if Lu Lingfeng turned out to be fine, he would then have to start suspecting others.

Ma Xianhong restricted Zhuge Qing's movements, while the rest of the elite retainers swarmed forward to surround Wang Ye.

After all, Gou Dan and the others seemed deeply worried about Lu Lingfeng's condition, having gone upstairs to keep him company, and had little mind to entertain guests.

He had no idea from which obscure corner Jingliu had dug up such fake news, and listening to it only made his scalp tingle.

Time ticked away second by second, and finally, unable to withstand the dual exhaustion of body and mind, he closed his heavy eyelids.

At this point, Gao Dazhuang's words carried more than a hint of dissatisfaction toward the company, requiring him to speak and act with utmost caution.

"First, have someone get a few torches to heat the rocks until they turn red, then have them fetch a few buckets of water to pour over the heated areas. The rocks will fracture, and by repeating this a few times, you can blast the stones apart!" Jiang Qingning made no secret of it and spoke directly to Village Head Zhou.

She breathed a sigh of relief. With the second half of the night still ahead, she would continue drawing formations, striving to capture the evil ghost tonight so she wouldn't have to make another trip tomorrow night.

In other words, the church should not have precise evidence at this moment to prove that he, the chosen one, harbored disloyal intentions.

Lu Zheng felt as though he spoke with complete indifference, yet his gaze involuntarily and firmly fixed on her, waiting for her denial.

A rare gentle expression surfaced in Murong Chenxi's eyes as he gently patted Madam Murong's back to soothe her emotions.

Uncle Li timely handed over a tray of seals, signaling Jiang Nang to press her thumbprint. Seeing her bright red fingerprint, Jiang Nang felt both a sense of relief and a dazed numbness; whether she wanted it or not, at least for the coming period, she would be locked in direct opposition to Chen Xinrao.

Yuan Qiuhua was driven out by Mother Lan. Dragging her suitcase, she walked and wept under the dim streetlights. By midnight, having missed even the last bus, she crouched by the roadside curbing and wept into her hands with muffled sobs.

After chatting idly with Li Nan for more than ten minutes, Li Nan instinctively glanced back as they reached a turn, his brows instantly furrowing.

"Alright, Mom, go inside first. I'll take them out to talk!" Dahua carried his mother back into the house. His mother stubbornly shoved a two-hundred-yuan bill into his hand.

Hearing this, Qianqian and Youyou finally began to pick up their sandwiches and eat. The children's obedience brought Nie Qianqian a great deal of comfort.

Chen Letian gave Tao Jingjing a speechless look, then probed further, "The luster of this piece of jade is quite nice; it certainly looks like it has some age to it."

Qiao Bei had never imagined that Hao Jing would leave him over such matters, yet the reality was now laid out before him.

"Qianqian, be a good girl and stop hanging out with Xu Hexi outside. Your body probably can't handle it anymore." Mo Shangqian felt somewhat irritated because he could tell that Nie Qianqian was being so amused by Xu Hexi that she didn't even have time to listen to him speak. A sudden rage flared within him, yet he had no choice but to compromise with the malevolent force.

Boss Jin also nodded. Only this explanation made the most sense. The only remaining question now was: what material was this?

Mado Akira also turned and left, with Sasaki closely following behind her. Special Class Investigator Long Hao set his documents aside and followed them out.

Li Sanniang nodded, holding back her tears, and tilted her head to lean against Chai Shao's embrace, remaining silent for a long time.

Xu Chen felt a sudden jolt in his heart. Though separated by a layer of a golden mask, he could vividly perceive the subtle traces of mischievous intent curved at the corners of Feng Qianxun's mouth.
