Chapter 493

"Professor Meng, taking Xiao Shi out again? Aren't you taking her to kindergarten today?"

Acquaintances who saw Professor Meng immediately greeted him with a smile.

Before retiring, Professor Meng was a math teacher at Nan Du University, but now he's retired and stays home doting on his grandchildren.

The "Xiao Shi" mentioned by passersby was his granddaughter, Meng Shishi.

"She caught a cold a couple days ago, so I told her to rest at home for a few more days," Professor Meng said with a smile.

Meng Jiao

When the refined makeup concealed her pale face, she finally smiled—even in death, she wanted to show him her most beautiful self, if only for an instant, so he would remember her at her loveliest.

The Virtuous Consort and the Noble Consort also fixed their gazes on Aunt Deng, as if trying to discern from her expression the master hiding behind her.

Just as they spoke, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside; someone was speaking urgently to the elderly maid and maidservants waiting outside.

"Yes! We're touring the Empire State Building! Didn't you say you'd treat us to drinks?" Ye Zifeng retorted.

Still, Yingchun couldn't help glancing at Wang Xifeng; just a few days ago, Wang Xifeng's chamber had been caught dealing usury, and today she was inviting someone to enforce criminal law—hopefully Wang Xifeng wouldn't harbor resentment against her.

"Your Majesty, this maid is innocent—I never did it..." A maid in crimson robes immediately knelt and banged her head on the ground in denial.

He waved his hand, signaling it was fine, but inwardly swore—he'd still need to bring Ao Kun back.

Zhong Lingyu felt this made sense; he pointed at Qian Feng, and a beam of light shot from his sash pouch, engulfing Qian Feng. Once certain of Qian Feng's safety, Zhong Lingyu and the other three—Yun Huan Shi and the rest—passed through the group of Wu Chi and others. Wu Chi and his companions followed closely behind, occasionally calling out to guide Zhong Lingyu's path.

So she foolishly let Leng Haoxuan grab her arm, then felt the world spin wildly, and next she was pinned beneath him on the sofa. It ought to have been such a romantic scene, one found in countless idol dramas.

Yu Cailan agreed with his view; seeing no one around, He Chenfeng held her for a while. Then, noticing the hour was late, he reluctantly escorted her back to the school gate.

Brother Lei and the others truly had no concept of shame—they sprang into action the moment Lin Ran pulled out bowls and chopsticks, devouring everything like a whirlwind.

The deputy generals and vice-generals all gathered in the ruined hall of the Guandi Temple; Cao Bianjiao was just gnawing on a piece of bread. When they arrived, he quickly swallowed it down, drank a few sips of water, and began the discussion.

Today marked the tenth month of Qianren Xue's seclusion, as she refined all her divine power and her final, strongest soul ring—the Golden Angel Divine Ring—forcefully breaking through the peak of Earth Immortal Ninth Rank to ascend to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

The other half, soldiers had already brought Ouwate before Cao Bianjiao; looking at this Dutchman, Cao Bianjiao felt an inexplicable unease, recalling the century of humiliation to come—even though the Dutch had little to do with it, he still felt furious.

"Though I don't know what you're talking about, a teacher's duty is the student's responsibility—Stranger, go on, I believe in you," Lu Yu said, clapping him on the shoulder.

Wang Chongjian, the Director of the Imperial Academy, also introduced the man before Cao Bianjiao; he was quite surprised by Cao Bianjiao's visit, and even more curious when Cao Bianjiao specifically requested to meet Zheng Sen.

All opponents argued nothing but that Qian Jin was the son of Zhe Chu, a cultivation waste with no resources, no connections, and few clan elders supporting him.

But at the last moment, Lin Ran hesitated—or rather, the Supreme Law had truly begun to influence Lin Ran, causing him to abandon his exploration at the final instant and depart resolutely; judging by his demeanor, he seemed ready to immediately sever ties with the Ferocious Great Emperor and leave the Zhe Tian world.
