Chapter 155: The Hidden Corner

The night was deep and silent, the temple tranquil.

Hu Xuanhui walked up to Li Shuang with a smile, but did not stand against him long before passing by.

“My elder sister excels in scheming, knows how to manipulate and outwit others, and is quite skilled—but in this world today, such talents are gradually becoming useless!”

Li Shuang turned his body in step with Hu Xuanhui, always keeping his face toward her.

Hu Xuanhui asked herself aloud:

The recorder screamed inwardly, its body swelling like a bomb, and the growing appendages failed to connect to the ship.

If the police truly investigated, his malicious framing would surely be exposed, and he might even gain a reputation for bullying.

The first to sense something was amiss was not the victim herself, but her twin sister. Perhaps her sister radar detected someone harboring feelings for her elder sister—confused and clueless, Zhu Wangshu was the first to learn that Han Yang favored Zhu Xihé.

Wu Yongchang had already calmed somewhat, but after hearing Wu Xinru’s words, he became even angrier.

The physician examined Jiang Dongming’s body and deduced that his paralysis resulted from a fall from great height and severe beatings.

Xia Yan and Shuiyu broke ties with Shazhu but maintained their bond with the deaf old woman.

When they entered the living room, both were still wearing their swimsuits, not having changed into their home clothes.

Jiang Yiyuan thought that since Jiang Dongming was now paralyzed and in dire need of money, retrieving the bride price from Liu Fang’s family would help improve Jiang Dongming’s living conditions.

Ordinary villagers with only ten or eight jin of goods would never travel to the county to sell them for a five- or six-yuan difference, since the round-trip fare alone cost four yuan—it wasn’t worth it.

“The final move of Ouyang Tingshuang looked like a demonic technique, so I went a bit harder,” Lin Ying said gloomily.

Li Zhe was no benevolent child or kind landlord—this was most clear to An Ya and the others.

Meanwhile, Zeus regretted deeply; his wife must have come to save him because she sensed his danger. Had he not acted recklessly and without regard for consequences, neither he nor Hera would have suffered.

“Give it to you? Cao Xing is at least a Grade-D warrior, and Song Xian is Grade-Xuan, alright?” Ye Teng sneered.

All they can hope for now is that the Yan family will properly use the weapons and armor bearing the “Zhen” character allocated to them to attract top players; and use the compensatory merit points to cultivate several elite NPCs—only then can they most effectively offset the negative impact of Yan Hao’s death.

Having been a mercenary, he was indeed extraordinary. A slightest sound was still enough for Old Zhang to sense something had happened! Jiang Xiaofeng was glad his skills were still sharp; had this happened just a while ago, his uncoordinated movements would have been caught by Old Zhang.

Five hundred years already? Hao Tian murmured softly. The Immortal Lords in the hall stood in two rows, some with expectant expressions, some expressionless, others gloomy—though their moods differed, one thing united them.

Yet unless you see it with your own eyes, you never truly know how things are progressing. So although Hu Dashui was excited, he could not fathom what Jiang Xiaofeng, with his perpetual smile, was really up to.

When the enemy army sounded the alarm drum, the Assault Camp had already seized a section of the wall from above and shot dead the guards stationed in the northern gatehouse.

Zhang Hao’s face was twisted in conflict, his curiosity warring with his reason, neither gaining the upper hand.

Zhou Lian suppressed his inner agitation as much as he could, blurted out everything, then hung up, ignoring all further calls from the other side.

Zhang Hao raised his hand; Lonsert raised his too—but as Lonsert raised his hand, he unleashed a foul, reeking black mist.

Zuo Yinuo turned and walked out of the school; beside it stood many supermarkets. He wore a hat, mask, and sunglasses, covering his entire face before entering one.
