Chapter 47: Replacement

After pondering for a brief two seconds, Xie Yunting "cruelly" rejected Song Zhiyan's request.
"No, you cannot leave me right now."
Hearing this, Song Zhiyan assumed Xie Yunting was not going to let her off the hook, and immediately collapsed to the ground again with a look of utter terror.
Having reaped another wave of fear, and worrying that the girl might be scared out of her wits and fail to contribute any more fear points in the future, Xie Yunting rare-heartedly offered a kind explanation: "There are explicit rules in the residential compound that forbid..."

Eunuch Wang, Physician Yu, and their companions were all eager to return home. Seeing that the dried medicinal powder had been successfully made, they strongly urged Song Huan and his companion to head back to the capital earlier to express their gratitude. The students, having already mastered the experimental procedures to perfection and feeling confident in their ability to independently carry out the cultivation work, also advised them to return to the capital soon to receive their rewards.

Everyone present: ...Casually? You just chopped off someone's son's head right before their eyes, didn't you?

Prince Zhou was somewhat baffled, but Eunuch Gao hurried forward to explain the reason—even though he was only guessing, it was likely eight or nine tenths accurate. It was because Lord Huan had recently received chrysanthemum wine, sweet-scented osmanthus, and seasonal treats sent over by Prefect Song, and wanted to let His Highness taste the flavors of home.

News within the palace was always strictly confidential, and moreover, only a few hours had passed since Li Guangyuan left the palace. He hadn't even returned directly to the Third Prince's Mansion yet, but Meng Shaoning had somehow already received the news. It seemed that this Fourth Master Meng's reach and methods were far more formidable than he had imagined.

Mi Xiang'er struggled to search her memory... Though there was no need to "struggle" at all, as she knew very well in her heart that anyone who had laid eyes on this man even once could never possibly forget him. Why? Because the man was handsome—handsome to a stellar degree.

He wasn't worried about anything else; he was only worried that Li Qingze had lost his mind and would insist on setting himself against Jiang Yunqin.

The Third Elder of the Shentu clan snorted inwardly, leading the entire Shentu contingent with a swagger as they entered the Spirit Talisman Pagoda.

Since it was considered work relief to aid displaced refugees, the wages offered were not high, amounting to only two to three fen of silver per day depending on the nature of the work.

At that moment, she sensed a gaze fixed on her. Subconsciously turning her head, she met Gu Jinxiu's eyes, which were filled with mockery and provocation.

The target's headquarters was located on the summit of the Broken Star Vein Waterfall, and the surrounding area at the foot of the mountain included a naval harbor in addition to three extra military outposts.

Rank stretched out his two thick, muscular arms, easily picked up the two large basins, and walked step by step toward Lin Wei.

Upon hearing this, Long Tian's expression turned frostily cold. Shifting his gaze to Yang Xin'er, he waited for her answer, and the latter indeed nodded desolately, confirming that those words were true.

However, judging from the Yellow Turban bandits and thugs Chu He had previously witnessed, the combat effectiveness displayed by the so-called elite soldiers of this world was probably just on par with this steel bow. Disregarding protective gear such as leather or iron armor, a single layer of the Azure Wood body reinforced by the Golden Bell Shield could withstand it, resulting at most in minor injuries.

"Don't yell. Just do as I tell you, or you won't get anything at all," Su Dayaya hurriedly said, clamping a hand over his mouth.

"It's inconvenient for Haitao to hold it while driving, so the two of us will share a bottle," Ye Shiqin said with a smile. She inserted a straw, took a sip first, and then held it out so Wang Haitao could drink.

Following Locke's inquiry, the lich leisurely bypassed the giant monster, drifted into the passage from the side, and the soldier ants behind it struggled violently. The ice on their bodies rapidly melted away, and within a few moments, they were able to move again.

Boss Huang tested the waters with this remark while waiting for Zhao Tianming's reaction. Normally, anyone who had their prospective purchase snatched away like this would have to show some kind of reaction. As long as there was a response, he could figure something out.

Zhao Tianming took it into his hands and casually opened it, discovering that it contained a set of jade-carving tools neatly wrapped in brocade, with nothing else to be seen.

Murong Jin kept his mouth half-open in speechlessness for a long time, walked forward a few steps like a wooden chicken, and then stammered out, "Dad... Dad..." But since he didn't know which one he ought to address, he could only gaze in bewilderment at the two fathers standing before and behind him.
