Volume One, Chapter 56: Recommend to the Director?

With a brief moment of thought, Su Tong understood. Ye Mo was unlike others. While most people cared about the value of antiques, what mattered most to him was his research. The dynasty, the owner, and even the stories carried by an artifact were all more important to Ye Mo than its monetary worth.

Li Chong, Wu Yuqin, and He Shengwu all arrived; Brother Alang was originally planning to come as well, but his great-uncle had an appendectomy, so he couldn’t make it to Miaoling, much to his regret.

When we returned home, the two sisters gazed at us with longing eyes. My heart softened, and I took them to the children’s park for a wild afternoon of play.

Qin Yun’s gaze sharpened. The flying insects, intimidated by the Heaven and Earth Fire of Qin Yixue and Qin Ding, dared not approach, but intuition told Qin Yun these insects were far from ordinary—any slight would result in disaster.

“Luo Feng! Things aren’t as you imagine!” Lin Yudie quickly interjected to explain.

Having a jungler dedicated to protecting you felt quite nice, especially in this already advantageous lane, with the jungler occasionally checking in on top.

Several men shouldered hemp ropes, moving forward in synchronized steps, then suddenly released the ropes, letting the iron rod drop into the drilled hole. Such a method of well-digging was unheard of—what on earth could these wells achieve?

Zhang Yingxia and Yang Xuan exchanged glances, speechless. Just then, Lu Jiaming hurried over, following behind Yang Xuan.

The Grand Ancestor once said: “The joy of struggling against the heavens is boundless; the joy of struggling against the earth is boundless; the joy of struggling against people is boundless as well.”

Fortunately, after the attack by the flying eagle, they encountered no further enemies, making the journey relatively easy. After a day, the pair finally saw the teleportation array leading to the sixth level.

A’Jiu nodded with a smile. Three hundred and eighty masters, within the fortress-like defense of Moonlit Manor, were more than enough for self-preservation.

Princess Rongchang frowned deeply as she gazed at the empty inner court. In the past, upon entering Guanghua Gate, a eunuch would guide her, and she’d meet many palace attendants along the way. How could it be that today, not even a cleaner was in sight?

There was no unrest at Cool Mountain, just an excuse to bring him over. Uncle Yan Yi voiced this reason with utmost seriousness, leaving Zi Qing with a dark expression. A’Jiu’s intentions were clear as day to everyone in the hall, including Mama Luo.

The Dhāraṇī King Staff seemed to mourn for him, the sounds of hell flooding Huang Zheng’s mind—countless wailing souls and the agony of infernal demons descended from the heavens in a haze of torment.

Wen Liangyu approached Lan Yu’s lips, staring at him with disdain, and flicked the name badge pinned to Lan Yu Chen’s uniform.

That day, dark clouds gathered overhead. Thunder tribulation crashed down, silver serpents snaking across the sky—the sixty-nine thunder tribulation. Later, she learned that Dao Danli had taken advantage of the lightning to ambush the Demon Lord, sending him into utter defeat.

Wu Xiangxue obediently hung up the phone, while Liu Ding sat in the office lighting a cigar.

Qin Chu didn’t reply right away; even with his son supporting him, he still vomited for a while.

“I’ll talk to you when we get back. Right now, I have other business with Shen Shengxun. Why am I being punished? Shen Shengxun, give me a reason!” Chen Baidong’s words were blunt, his clenched fist nearly raised to strike Shen Shengxun, veins bulging, eyes ablaze.

“Is that so?” Li Wei said quietly. Her hand trembled, and the sharp blade flashed across Ji Ka’s face, leaving a scar behind.

“What!” Du Mei exclaimed again in shock. She cried out loudly, but seeing all the guards and officers turning to look at her, she suddenly realized she could not say such things here.
