Chapter 152: Shaolin, Shaolin

After a long while, Zhao Ti rose and headed to the bathing room, just as Ah Zhu came out from inside.

"Your Highness, see if the water is sufficient?" Ah Zhu said softly.

Zhao Ti stepped in and took a look; the pool and tubs were already brimming full. He smiled and said: "Not bad, it's enough. Tell Ruyi to prepare clothes and send them over."

Ah Zhu's lashes fluttered: "This servant can fetch them herself…"

Zhao Ti glanced at her: "I asked Ruyi to knead my back — can you do that, Ah Zhu?"

Ah Zhu's cheeks instantly flushed crimson:

That evening at Fire Shadow Tower, Water Wood split out a shadow clone, had the shadow clone sneak in, and deliberately made noise to draw the attention of the Anbu ninja.

Zhang Ye gripped the dragon-patterned bone blade that came flying at him and slashed out once more, but he did not throw it toward the old Daoist Priest; instead, he flung it toward a Mo Ming direction.

Shan Zhongyuan was startled by One's Own Thought and hurriedly opened his Ice World. After three checks, Shan Zhongyuan confirmed that the Six-Tails Jinchūriki's consciousness still had faint fluctuations and had not completely dissipated.

When she received the news of Liu Hong's death, He Zhen knew He Su should head back; today at last, she had finally arrived at Luoyang.

The clean, tidy ground was covered not with the weeds seen everywhere, but with soft cotton embroidered quilts.

"This disciple… does not know." The disciple answered helplessly. The Chief Elder had only given him the aftermath arrangements; he knew nothing of the specific assassination plan.

Thinking about it, it didn't seem impossible! After all, even something like you having one more candy than me could spark a conflict — let alone a situation where one side suffers disaster all year, watching the nation fall and family perish, while the other side enjoys peace and pleasure, living freely?

Outside of festivals, this kind of ostentatious display was not favored by the people of the time. On ordinary days when going out, even the powerful and wealthy mostly rode in horse carriages.

Ruan Mengying led her disciples over; Yong Mu ushered them into the main hall, invited them to sit, served tea, and prepared wine and dishes.

But the bespectacled man beside her looked as if he'd seen a ghost — because the Zhang Ye being interviewed in the footage, in speech and manner, was exactly the same as his former self?

Dai Dong's hand, which was tying his shoelace, suddenly stopped. If the news of Xiu Yue's departure he had known in advance and thus been able to control, then this current piece of news truly left him dumbfounded.

When he first reached Mid-Stage Realm of the Star Saint Realm, he lingered there for over two full years before taking that step.

This Jade Rabbit was made as a birthday gift for His Majesty, so it was only finished on the thirteenth of the eighth month. At the final stage of completion, one inevitably thought of that night's events, so this little mood piece was designed based on her feelings at that time.

After all, the Pojun Fist was a Fist Technique of utmost hardness and fierceness, and the very characteristic of Taiji was using softness to overcome hardness.

And in a bar in Chiyoda Ward, a Shueisha executive, while gathering with industry friends, happened to let slip a remark.

The Crystal Soul Tower's question echoed in Hao Yu's mind, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

【22】 The Crystal Soul Tower's question echoed in Hao Yu's mind, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

It was precisely their careful education that made Bian Bi'an the most powerful ancient warrior in the history of the Five-Star Nation.

Yao Dantong had not wanted to say much, but the people before her had already made things perfectly clear, and bringing it up made one inexplicably furious. No matter who was put in such a situation, there would be no way to escape.

The cannon bombardment continued. Zhang San and the two kings of the Japanese nation were watching from the ship. In truth, there were many ways to break through Hancheng. The reason Zhang San adopted this open and aboveboard method was to perform for the Japanese kings, to make them fear the might of Ryukyu.

"Absolutely true — I have already seen the Old Ancestor; there can be no mistake." Zhao Hongde said with a solemn expression.

"Elder Zhuo, you have overlooked an important issue." Ma Xingyao, who had been slowly sipping tea, suddenly spoke.

But it was a bit too late. At such close range, and with Mu Ling'er striking out in hatred, he only managed to dodge the vital parts, yet was still pierced through the shoulder by the spirit crystal.

Having followed Li Haonan for so many years, she knew his ruthlessness all too well. If he were willing to talk with her privately, she might still have a way to live. But today he had gathered everyone together precisely to purge the household, and to give everyone a legitimate reason and explanation.
