Chapter 206: Shawshank Redemption

Late night.

The torrential rain poured down, pattering softly.

A phantom figure flickered in the rain, vanishing mid‑air in an instant.

Flashing between the buildings inside the concentration camp, Su Qing searched for the silhouette of Black Emperor Xiao.

Although he knew that in this September, Xiao Wan Ci Wang would be sent here with his family, Su Qing did not know the exact time, so he planned to first seek out the Black Emperor, who is now a scientist of the German Alliance.

A clear "Clang!" rang out; the flying sword and shield collided, bursting forth a huge surge of true essence. The white‑clad old man felt nothing, but Ye Hai Long suddenly felt an almost suffocating sensation.

"Don't say anything else—I trust my own ears and eyes!" Xiao Yang'er knew Luo Chuan wanted to advise her, but she couldn't take in anything now; she just wanted to calm down.

"Uncle, after you come back this time, you won't leave again, right? Will you play hide‑and‑seek with Zixuan?" Mo Zixuan looked at Park Aim‑min innocently; Park Aim‑min, seeing such an adorable Mo Zixuan, also smiled. Park Aim‑min has always liked Mo Zixuan, and likewise Mo Zixuan likes Park Aim‑min.

The Liu family lived at the other end of this city; Ye Li remembered that Madam Liu had mentioned the Liu family's deep courtyard, with a lake and mountains nearby, beautiful scenery, but where Liu Tianqing waited for her was a tall building in the bustling district.

It's just because bad things often happened before, so Liu Tiannan also had to be cautious.

Zhemilai hesitated for a moment, "She took the medicine and fell asleep!" She had never bargained over the orders of Yi Teng Ze Ren, but now she knew why he wanted to see Guo Mengyao. She really couldn't understand: a dying person, why would he so tug at his heart? Could it really be love rather than pity?

When Haodong suddenly turned and snatched the wine bottle from someone's hand, Tang Cheng had already anticipated what would happen next; Tang Cheng merely stepped back, watching the bottle fall before his eyes.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Ye Li felt herself drifting into a daze, when suddenly a sharp pain shot through her scalp, making her sit up bolt upright.

Mingshen's fingertips, holding the soup, were scalded hot and painful, as if countless poisonous insects were gnawing at his flesh.

"Great Divine Ability technique? We'll study it later. Want to take it for research?" Qing Yun rolled up the map and handed it to Lao Kun. Lao Kun waved his hand, smiling, "This map is useless to me; you study it yourself." Qing Yun didn't stand on ceremony, directly storing the Mountains and Rivers Map in his storage ring, then opened the second jade box.

After all, this isn't the Prime Minister's Residence, and it's impossible to bring that many people to guard it, so even stray cats and dogs can wander into this courtyard.

A Zhenru, having been pardoned, rushed in pushing a cart, only at the doorway remembering to tell Yan Liqiu to watch over his carriage for him.

"Enough, don't ask—just drive." Fang Zhizhi had no mood at all to answer Lu Hui's words; his mind was filled with the scene of what he had just hit, and the scene of Gu Ci saying harsh things to her.

The Song family is indeed ruthless; to prevent Feng Sui and his companions from completing their mission, they would even resort to poisoning. Since it's the Song family behind it, this news leaking out will surely involve Song Yao as well.

"No, your humble servant merely feels that this holy medicine is priceless and hard to obtain; such a fine treasure naturally shouldn't be kept only in the palace, wouldn't that be wasteful?" The red‑clothed man said indifferently.

Court officials—who isn't corrupt? It's just a matter of greed, big or small; after all, that little salary they dispense can't possibly support a household with three wives and four concubines, old and young, a big family.

Xie Yin gave an embarrassed smile, gave a fabricated name, and said he was the feng shui master they had arranged to meet earlier to inspect the mine shaft. Zhen Jiu also put on a fake smile, and glancing up could see several bloody corpses in the corner, which he pretended not to notice.
