For the sake of a secret manual, you cruelly killed him. Do you still remember how you tortured him to death?” Memories flashed before her eyes, and the Empress Dowager’s gaze burned with furious flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who knew you came to me today?” Master Chu pressed, causing Lu Ning and Madame Chu to frown in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, pick your people!” Tai Bai found it amusing; he was determined to get them drunk and played along even more enthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still not planning to act?\" His gaze shifted to a corner of the arena, and Frank spoke casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yaoshi Spirit Society members merely snorted and ignored their words, silently awaiting their leader’s reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why won’t you let me take you home?

Since you call me Senior, then Duan Lao and Zhen Yuan, come out!” Tai Bai burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Ye Zhong only required them to plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms; the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau regularly sent people to collect cocoons from every village and hamlet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, there were none of the scenes Fang Liming had imagined—no black hoods, no crossing heavily guarded troops. When they arrived at the western suburbs of Yanjing, what met Fang Liming’s eyes was a scene of natural serenity. The several Guoan field agents in the car were clearly talkative, chattering and joking nonstop along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appeared to be an abandoned, desolate temple; the elmwood statue was badly chipped, its eyes hollow, gazing down with benevolent indifference.
