Chapter Fifty-Two: The Accident Scam

“Everyone, listen up!” Lin Xiang shouted at the top of her voice amid the bustling street. “I was walking along perfectly properly, pushing my bicycle, when he suddenly darted out and crashed straight into it without saying a word. He bent my bicycle wheel out of shape, then turned around and accused me of hitting him, and now he’s lying on the ground, refusing to get up! Someone, please tell me who’s in the right here!”

There were no surveillance cameras on the street, but it was crowded with passersby. If she simply rode away without a care, the old man would only have to shout once—

Dinner was as sumptuous as ever, yet Lu Mingxuan had no appetite. Still, she managed to force down half a bowl of rice and waited until Madam Lu put down her chopsticks before setting hers down as well.

When Ling Xue awoke the next morning, the ceiling before her seemed unfamiliar. Where was she? How had she ended up here?

“Damn it! Yang Jian got there first! With the complicated terrain of the Divine Realm, I’m afraid we’ll never find them. Enter the Divine Realm separately! We’ll look for another opportunity to deal with him later!” the Heavenly Lord said angrily.

From that day onward, the two sisters acquired another evening chore: making shoes and socks for their new mistress. Fortunately, the auspicious day was still some time away, and they had plenty of time. There was no need for them to hurry; working for an hour or two each evening was more than enough.

After getting a clear look at her future brother-in-law, Lu Mingxuan could not very well linger. She quietly hurried back to the inner courtyard, arriving just as the banquet was about to begin.

Both sides had their own plans, and both were confident that they would obtain the outcome they desired.

“Come on, Reid, don’t say another word. I’m absolutely starving.” The captain did not give Yaoyao a chance to speak, but instead wrapped both arms tightly around her.

The battle did not unfold as Agito had expected. His opponent easily evaded his attack. This meant that the two of them had concealed their true strength; neither was as weak as they appeared. They had successfully deceived his eyes.

“Hmph. Are your words really enough to stop them? I’ve heard that once Qin Chuxing finishes refining the legendary Demon God Barrier-Breaking Pill, she’ll rise straight to the peak of the Blazing Sun Realm. By then, what use will your persuasion be?” The moment Shen Aotian finished speaking, he saw the Zhenwu King’s expression change dramatically.

As for the “Master” and the “Transcendent” realms, Neji did not believe anyone in the clan could reach them. Even the clan head, Hyuga Hiashi, might not possess the strength of a Master.

He turned his head away, forcing back the tears in his eyes. He was truly doing everything he could to suppress them, for his heart was filled with words he had no way to express.

Naturally, there were also those who opposed the matter, believing that such an immigration effort would weaken the Hyuga clan’s cohesion. If it grew to a certain scale, the entire family might face the danger of splintering and disintegrating.

Lu Lingshan, Situ Jing, Xu Lang, and Jiang Tieshan then joined forces and began activating the Sacred Dao assault formation.

Fortunately, his arms, waist, abdomen, and thighs were all wrapped in bandages. Someone must have treated his wounds after he lost consciousness.

The creature was not particularly tall, standing only a little over thirty feet, but every muscle across its body bulged powerfully. Its skin resembled hardened hide, and the aura and strength it emanated were oppressive and terrifying.

If they went on to raise an army to resist the Turkic forces, there was no telling whether that army would possess any real combat strength. But given the Turks’ ferocity, they would certainly charge straight through.

He had wounded her so gravely—a sword through the heart. Although the blade had missed the heart by two inches, the injury was still exceedingly dangerous, and her chances of survival were slim.

She had just heard the masked man say that even the Eight-Tails had been captured by Neji. The Eight-Tails was one of the village’s most important assets, and its jinchuriki was the Raikage’s sworn younger brother. If Neji could capture him without consequence, that could only mean that the Raikage was no longer capable of posing any threat to Neji.

“I really wasn’t lying. Paradise hasn’t announced the main missions for the later stages yet, but judging from the two stages of missions currently available, we can more or less infer the ultimate objective.” Qin Tianci added silently to himself.

With that, he reached over and patted Zheng Jia on the head. Then he picked up the draw box and began eagerly pulling out lots.
