Chapter 169: 165 It

Bi Sheng had long known that Yu Zong and Xu Zong had a tense relationship.

It wasn't just about true gongfu—rumors said it had something to do with Zhen Ai Net.

But he never expected his good friend to snap so suddenly; just moments ago, he'd been maintaining sincerity and decorum, then suddenly launched into an attack on today's capital and Xu Zong…

This…

Is this how you make an investment?

Did Bai Xiaosheng really secure funding by snatching it like this?

Bi Sheng heard Yu Zong was going

In truth, Su Yile had indeed made deliberate efforts to perform well, because only then could she accompany Qi Xingfan to the Empire Group for negotiations.

At that moment, she felt a sharp gaze land on her; she turned instantly and saw Luo Qing staring at her with deep eyes.

After all, if they got hold of any leverage, she'd end up like Qu Xiaoxiao—Pei Chenyang was certainly capable of it.

Carrying Pei An'an into the room, Ling Muchen shut the door without turning on the light, placed her on the bed, and tucked the blanket around her.

Emperor Kangxi had repeatedly forbidden anyone from colluding with merchants from the northwest; Lady Yue's Yuelai Inn served the imperial family, so it was also a contribution to the throne.

The ladies' hearts jolted—they'd forgotten the imperial family's deep aversion to this; if they caused trouble, it would have major repercussions within the capital.

"Mother, please rest a while," Qing Yan noticed Consort Tong's exhaustion and quickly glanced at Shu Zhu, hoping she'd help Consort Tong inside to rest.

The old maid merely said coolly, "This servant deserves to die," then stood up, walked around the screen, and headed straight for the bed—startling Bai Fengjiao, who was only wearing her undergarments.

"Absolutely no lie. Take Cang Jian's head to the Mercenary City and exchange it for ten million immortal crystals." The voice said.

Seeing the call came from the student union's public line, Lian Haonan picked up without hesitation.

"Nonsense! Pay me back my pearl!" Ke Wei shouted, lunging at Qin Puming. Someone darted out, grabbed him by the back of his shirt, and lifted him up.

He'd just finished laughing and hadn't caught his breath when the secret room door suddenly opened… They'd been so absorbed in chatting they'd forgotten about the competition.

Qi Man didn't know that Xu Miao had already scattered his three souls and six spirits; even the last remaining fragment—the stinking lung soul—was loosening, ready to slip from his body. With all five senses gone, he couldn't hear Qi Man's voice, nor feel pain—he stood like a wooden statue, a living target for Feng Luo.

The palace gate opened; Chen Lin, waiting outside, glanced at Yang Xinyue as she stepped out, surprise flickering in his eyes—he'd assumed the Emperor would keep her for the night.

At the newly opened Er Pang Noodle Skin shop, Lin Yuhan and Mu Yang found a clean table; Lin Yuhan told Mu Yang to sit and wait while she went to order.

Zhang Zhong hadn't eaten meat in two days and was feeling restless; with Ma Xiaohua's random groping, he could barely hold out.

"Hunter?" Ye Fusheng looked strangely at Liu Hanyan. "Are you telling me to go learn hunting?"

Just as he was considering whether to go to the restroom, a black Hongqi sedan drove in through the main gate.

You can see any kind of outfit here, and passersby don't even glance your way—it's completely ordinary.

This is the norm of cold war: in cold war competition, no country is clean; none are lotus flowers.

She'd already clarified this yesterday; since Gu Nan didn't mention it, she pretended ignorance too.

"What ex-husband? We're not divorced yet—she's my wife." Saying this, Huang Dehan walked to the table and pointed at Li Man.

Zhang Yan didn't know what had happened in Li Man's marriage; Li Man feared Zhang Yan would be upset, so she'd never told her—even when Huang Dehan beat her, she never said a word.

The jamming bomb they activated likely had other effects on the portal, causing Lin Chen—who was meant to be transported elsewhere—to accidentally end up on Qinglong Star.
