Chapter 41: Absolutely Incredible (Second Update)

After a sumptuous dinner at the large restaurant, Ying Shu, Ying Li, and the others headed home first.

After she finished showering, she received a call from Feng Ye: "We returned to the abandoned factory and successfully captured the evil practitioner. After interrogation, he is indeed from Country R. He came to China because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is waning, and since he could no longer reach a higher realm, he set his sights on our Chinese mystic masters."

[Ding—]
[Valid clues provided, assisting the Special Investigation Bureau in capturing an evil practitioner.]

At 5:30 AM, Song Beichuan sat at his desk with sleepy eyes. Although he had made preparations, he still felt a bit sluggish. He was not a very diligent person, which was evident in the small details of his life; he only applied himself earnestly when absolutely necessary.

"Fine," Lin Shuiyao finally relented. She was desperate to understand this brand-new world.

Thinking of this, Yun Changtian hesitated no longer, and an aura, albeit weaker than that of the three Lu Wei men, erupted from him.

Watching her adorable expression, Chu Xiaoyi felt as if something had pierced his heart, causing an agonizing pain, yet his body still instinctively gestured for her to "please come in."

As for those who dodged to the sides, attempting to restrain him from the flanks, their ends were equally miserable. Li Shimin’s horse lance, like a venomous snake, struck out repeatedly from behind the "Bull Demon Armor," reaping the lives of these armored soldiers.

However, he soon calmed down, realizing that he had no room to refuse this matter. Moreover, he truly needed strong protectors now to ensure his own safety.

Once Nian Zhengyuan left, Nian Yangxiong gathered hundreds of men to surround the entire Wu Sect Hall, so that even if someone launched a surprise attack, they would be able to react.

His visit to the Eastern Capital this time was ostensibly to request an official investiture from the Imperial Court, but in reality, he was forced to seek aid from the Great Sui due to pressure from their powerful neighbor, the Xueyantuo tribe.

The commotion here had been so great earlier; why did everything stop the moment Xue Miao entered? He certainly did not believe there was nothing strange about it.

At this moment, Yang Xuangan noticed the abnormality in the young man before him. For some reason, the latter kept his brows tightly locked, lost in thought.

"Alright, alright, alright. I was just saying it, don't take it too seriously. What happened to this injury of yours?" Zhao Guodong asked.

Seeing that I did not speak, she tried to plunge the sword down. But before the blade could even touch my skin, I felt her grip loosening, and her breathing becoming increasingly heavy.

All sorts of comments rang out, but Wang Xiu simply ignored them. If these people knew the reason for Wang Xiu's distress, they would likely be doubled over with laughter.

However, Yi Kang was a man of great shrewdness; he could not have earned the Empress Dowager's trust without such keen perception. Realizing that the Empress Dowager had already discarded this chess piece, he decided it was best not to plead for mercy.

"Well, not bad!" Old Mo said this while looking at Luo Desiya and the others, yet his hands spun the Bagua diagram several times in an instant. Luo Desiya felt a wave of agony wash over her, and she nearly fainted.

Ming Long tilted his head, tugged at the sleeve of Qing Yan, who was still dazed, and pulled her out the door.

At the start of the match, neither side showed any intention of attacking. After all, without a primary controller to initiate, a level-one team fight was far too unstable.

"Uh... Master, then..." The butler was at a loss for what to do, given that the master was present, and he had long since witnessed the oddities of this household.

Her departure left him heartbroken, and the desire for redemption clung to his heart, impossible to shake. He longed to win her heart back and mend their broken bond. Finally given this chance, he resolutely leaped off the cliff after her.

In the past, this would have been a time of song and dance within the palace, but today, a sense of desolation inadvertently seeped into the atmosphere, silently creeping into one's heart and sending shivers down one's spine. This loneliness watched from afar, wearing an air of haughty indifference.
