Chapter 324: The Suitors

Ruan Hongzhuang never intended to expose her relationship with Shen Siyuan so early.

She mainly feared gossip from company staff and worried Shen Siyuan would struggle to work there.

But when she saw Shen Siyuan laughing and chatting with another woman, she felt uneasy—except when it was Jiang Tao.

Besides, she reconsidered: did she bring Shen Siyuan to her company for work? And this guy was taking a long leave in a few days anyway, so whether he was visible or not—

The newcomer was none other than Liang Dong's first three Golden Core experts: his adoptive sister Ling Xuejing, the great monk Liao Yuan, the old Daoist Wu Chen, and Zhao Ye.

Without him speaking, the drunkard also paused his actions in surprise, for he recognized the voice outside.

As Xu Zhe left for dinner, everyone noticed his spirit and vigor had changed further—he now radiated an oppressive aura, laced with icy killing intent. To them, Xu Zhe looked like a sword about to be drawn.

"Young man, speak reasonably! You're the one who bumped into me—why should I pay you?" The old man held the moral high ground, speaking calmly and without arrogance.

"Wei Yan, do you still remember the fire wasp pupa I injected into your body?" Su Buwei said calmly, a faint solemn expression appearing on his face.

Wilson glared back angrily at the three men who stood with arms crossed, waiting to watch the show.

Because He Zijun and his sister had both called to formally notify her of their wedding date.

The blue-robed elder called Xingchenzi was none other than the former Star Demon Master.

"Damn it! Someone, kill him!" The white-robed youth wiped blood from his lip and shouted loudly.

A beam of light flashed from the center of the Divine Punishment Star Eye, then a starlight that tore through heaven and pierced the cycle of rebirth shot straight at Zeus.

At once, all eyes turned to Wang Lin, still frantically cramming—some mocked, some lamented, some sighed.

Many outsiders suddenly looked enlightened and hurriedly grabbed their trays to rush toward the natives.

When she left the Hall of State Affairs, it was already deep night; the evening wind was bitterly cold, stinging her face. She pulled her cloak tighter and walked step by step toward Fengqi Palace.

Clearly, they had long resented Su Qiyeh; had they not been in the midst of battle with no time to spare, many would have tried to eliminate him.

After tending to Chen Jin's meal, it was already dark outside. Jiang Tao kept glancing at her phone for the time—Madam Chen had said she'd arrive around eight to relieve her, but it was already nine and she hadn't come.

Shen Zexing was baffled and hadn't yet had time to press further when he heard Fu Liang burst into loud laughter ahead.

In truth, the reason Jue Ren had always let Su Qiyeh be so flamboyant was solely for Su Qiyeh's safety.

Without thinking, it was obvious that Ye Jiayi's child was Lu Yanci's leverage—so long as the child lived, Lu Yanci could never wash away this stain.

So this is what it feels like to have someone backing you. Now that Pei Jinnian stood behind her, Shu Ran was no longer afraid.

At the highest point of the cliff known as Jingyue Cliff stood an ancient castle built entirely of purple ore; in its center, the open ground was paved with smooth, earth-yellow ancient stone.

After some casual chatter, everyone gradually relaxed; though still tense, they were far better than at the start, when they could barely speak without stumbling.

"The two great ones have returned—this is wonderful! The Giant Demon Clan and the demons are finally saved." He Jing said this, while He Ye's smile looked awkward.

Leading the charge was Old Pu, who had sparred with Zhiyan that morning; this big black man had somehow forgotten Anna's terror and, before any of his companions could react, lunged forward like a rabid dog, raising a fist the size of a sandbag to smash it into Anna's pretty face.
