Chapter 324: The Suitors

Ruan Hongzhuang actually had not intended to expose her relationship with Shen Siyuan this early.

Mainly, she feared it would cause gossip at the company, and she was also afraid it would make things difficult for Shen Siyuan at work.

But when she saw Shen Siyuan chatting and laughing cheerfully with other women, she felt uncomfortable—of course, with Taozi being the exception.

Moreover, on second thought, when she had Shen Siyuan come to her company, was the purpose really for work? And this guy was about to take a long leave in a couple of days, so whether it affected things or not—

The arrivals were precisely the three Golden Core Realm powerhouses Liang Dong had first met—Dry Sister Ling Xueling, the great Monk Liaoyuan, and Daoist Wuchen—along with Zhao Ye.

And without him needing to say anything, the Drunkard also stopped his hand in surprise, because he too recognized the person speaking outside.

When Xu Zhe stepped out for a meal, everyone noticed that his vigor and spirit seemed to have changed once more; he himself appeared to emanate a pressure-laden might, within which was also mingled a cold killing intent. In everyone's eyes, Xu Zhe looked just like a sharp sword about to leave its sheath.

"Young man, when you speak you have to be reasonable! Clearly, you were the one who bumped into me, so why should I be the one paying you?" The old man held the moral high ground, speaking neither servilely nor overbearingly.

"Wei Yan, do you still remember that Fire Bee Chrysalis I implanted within you?" Su Bumai said lightly, a faint solemn expression actually surfacing on his face.

Glancing back hatefully once more at the three fellows standing with arms folded, ready to watch the show, Wilson felt a surge of annoyance.

Because He Zijun and her older sister had each called her separately, formally notifying her of the date of their wedding.

And this blue-robed elder, whom she called Star Lord, was none other than the Star Sorcerer from before.

"Bastards, come in here and kill him for me!" the white-robed youth wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shouted loudly.

From the center of the Divine Punishment Star Eye, a flash of light burst forth; in an instant, a beam of starlight that tore the heavens and pierced through the cycles of heaven and earth shot directly toward Zeus.

For a moment, everyone's gaze turned to Wang Lin, who was still cramming at the last minute—some mocking, some pitying, some sighing.

Many of the outsiders showed expressions of sudden realization and hurriedly carried their trays over to the natives.

When she left the Council Hall, it was already deep into the night; the night wind was especially cold, biting sharply against her face. She pulled her cloak tighter around herself and walked step by step back toward Phoenix Rest Palace.

Clearly, they had long been dissatisfied with Su Feng Qiye; if it weren't because they were all in the middle of battle and had no time to spare, many of them would probably have wanted to take Su Feng Qiye out.

After seeing Chen Jin through his meal, the sky outside had already gone dark. Taoruan kept glancing at her phone to check the time—Lady Chen had said she would come to take over around eight o'clock, but it was already nine and she still hadn't arrived.

Shen Zexing was baffled and, before he could press further, he heard Fu Liang's loud laughter ring out from ahead.

In fact, the reason Jue Ren had always allowed Su Feng Qiye to act so brazenly was simply for Su Feng Qiye's safety.

One didn't even need to think to know that the child in Ye Jiayi's belly was leverage against Lu Yanci; as long as the child remained, Lu Yanci would never be able to wash this stain from himself for the rest of his life.

So this is what it feels like to have someone backing you. With Pei Jinnian supporting her now, Shu Ran was no longer afraid.

At the highest point of this cliff known as Mirror Moon Bluff stood an ancient, simple castle constructed entirely of purple ore. In the center of the purple castle, the broad open ground was paved with an earthy-yellow, ancient, simple stone material, extremely even and smooth.

After chatting for a while, everyone gradually loosened up; although there was still some nervousness, compared to the beginning when they could barely string a sentence together without stammering, it was far, far better.

"The return of the two powerhouses is truly wonderful! The Giant Demon Clan and the magical beasts are finally saved." As Black Realm said this, Black Ye's smile turned somewhat awkward.

Leading the charge was Old Pu, who had sparred with Zhiyan that morning. This big black fellow had somehow chosen to forget Anna's terrifying prowess; before his companions could even make a move, he lunged at Anna like a starving dog pouncing on food, raising a fist the size of a sandbag and slamming it toward Anna's pretty face.
