Chapter 291

Shen Siyuan, seeing Ruan Hongzhuang's curious and probing expression, did not hide anything from her.

Instead, he smiled and said, "Because she thinks you look like her greatest enemy."

"Greatest enemy?"

Ruan Hongzhuang was greatly surprised upon hearing this, her face now filled with curiosity.

Shen Siyuan pointed in a direction and continued, "It's one of her classmates—there's no deep hatred, just some minor past disagreements she's held onto."

"So that's how it is? No wonder—"

"Wenwen!" Tian Tian interrupted Long Xiwén before she could say anything more extreme, then shot her a warning glance—further reckless words would truly anger Long Zetian, and even Tian Tian couldn't protect her.

But Qi Guquan felt a profoundly shocking power, and Qi Potian filled him with deep dread.

If we were to be precise, the Nine Gates should really be called the Eight Gates—Zhang Dafoye's gate, though originally in the same trade, later shifted into politics and completely left the profession; the subsequent Eight Gates have remained firmly under Zhang Dafoye's control.

In other words, during those half-months, he must have discovered something, which drove him deep into the snow mountains. Reheman said that Wuyouping repeatedly asked him: "Is there really no one in this snow mountain?"

Years later, Tian Tian, in her villa in France with her young son, would always feel a deep bitterness whenever she recalled those words—the vows still echoed in her ears, yet why had the one who swore to never leave her side vanished?

Miao Yi sensed trouble and retreated while fighting; the horse's hooves couldn't run backward or sideways, lacked power, and was utterly inflexible.

"Go." After speaking, Li Jie exhaled deeply, as if a heavy stone had fallen from his chest.

The Four Armies of the Dawn Party, especially the Original Sin Army, grew like a snowball rolling ever larger.

I climbed up the footprints—the second-floor room doors were all open, but no one was inside. I glanced into the rooms: dark, moss-covered walls, crumbling and patchy. The scene matched exactly what I'd seen in the video.

To block Zhan Kuangtu, who possessed divine talent, achieved Foundation Establishment in one year, formed a Golden Core in two, mastered sword art in three, and entered the Top Ten of the Heavenly Prodigy List in four, thereafter dominating without rival?

After all, since the Fox Empire was peacefully annexed by the Tiger Roar Empire, clearly Bai Lin and others would also join the Tiger Roar Empire's campaign against the Angel Empire. Long Teng had never doubted Bai Lin's military genius, and he believed Bai Lin would surely be heavily relied upon in the Tiger Roar Empire.

Hearing this, Mei Feiran's temple veins twitched slightly; he curled his lips into a smile and added one more sentence.

Pressing his throbbing head, Xing Mu frowned—every time he thought of anything related to five years ago, his head ached.

Mei Qingli, I admit I like you—I admit I gave myself a chance, unwilling to let go so easily, yet too timid to take this step. So I'm gambling: if you truly fall in love with me, perhaps I really can abandon my chance to return to the modern world and stay by your side.

I found it amusing; Tian Qing beside me had already shrunk into a trembling ball, so I flicked my hand, sending a palm wind that hurled both of them out of the carriage. Luckily, the carriage was sturdy, or it would have shattered by now.

The unique scent of Jin Jongmin's body filled Miokdi's nostrils; Miokdi's mind began to conjure up random images.

He dared not consider the other possibility—he forced himself to believe she was still alive, no matter where she was.

"Jin Jongmin, why are you here? I clearly told you no one was to disturb me." Miokdi's sharp gaze locked onto Jin Jongmin, her eyes deep with unhidden exhaustion.

He was obsessed with Consort De's favor and his own glory, and thus worked especially hard to screen the identities of the people in the Bathing Chamber.
