Volume One, Chapter 73: Three Rules Established

He and the young man beside him were father and son. Park Jin-woo had once been involved with that young man, so the middle-aged man assumed it was an order from the old master, which was why he said what he did.

If her grades dropped instead of improving this time, Lin Ran could already picture her mother forcing her to break up. She admitted she lacked innate academic talent, so she had to devote more time to her studies. After all, diligence makes up for shortcomings.

In Xu Xian’s mind, Zhang Xian had been busy with his business for the past two years, and there had been no reports of underworld violence. Yet tonight she saw Zhang Xian resort to violence again, even though the other party was no good either.

Xinmin and the groups unrelated to the Hua Mansion all knew that Hua Mansion undoubtedly held the absolute advantage.

Lu Qingshan finished speaking, and among the three people, the leader said, “Indeed, the Peach Blossom Taoist lineage was famous in the past for perceiving the heavens and calculating fate. Now that they’ve acquired the evil arts from the demonic beings beyond the realm, their ferocity must be even greater than before.”

Yet, when facing Shuyah, he was somewhat weaker. After grasping the power, Shuyah was no longer the same as a few minutes ago; she could now fully unleash her strength.

Wait a moment—wasn’t destiny predetermined in matters of marriage? She thought of ways to break off the engagement for that girl. She would endure her for a few more months.

“Where, where?” Jin Ming hurried to the window, peering outside. Of course, his eyesight couldn’t see anything. But seeing Ding Mu’s mischievous grin, he knew Ding Mu was fooling him.

Watching the zombies rushing up behind her, Wisteria could already picture her neck being bitten through. She kept pounding on the door, begging those inside to let her in.

Gu Yufei watched her run out, but had no courage left to chase after her. Now that his mother had made such a scene, there was no future between him and Yue Feifei.

Liu Huai was quite surprised; he hadn’t expected the punishment to be so severe. The Han army’s regulations were indeed strict. Jin Datong was the first general under him and was quite capable in commanding troops. Though not a legendary commander, his leadership was commendable. Liu Huai also recalled Jin Datong’s contributions while following him in Japan.

Whether Yunli was telling the truth or not, what did it matter? If it were the body’s original owner, perhaps Yunli’s wishes would come true. Unfortunately, Yun Qingyue was gone. Yunli’s scheme was destined never to succeed.

After hanging up, everyone in the room was stunned. The other party had called the young man before them “Commander.” Even his own sister Ning Tianxin looked at her brother in disbelief.

At the same time, there was a black character for “sin” on that person’s forehead, surrounded by blood-red lines, twisted and tangled.

Before the medicine could be swallowed, Qian Wan felt a surge of metallic sweetness, coughed heavily, and the black pill mixed with blood washed away by the rain, became hard to distinguish.

The Demon Saint roared, and at his command, the ancient demon ape instantly bellowed and strode toward Ye Yu.

Qian Wan slowly wiped the blood from her lips, placed her hand gently on his wrist, her fingertips emanating warmth, healing his wound.

Ito Masayoshi agreed cheerfully. He knew that no matter how the fight went, Qian Zhougang wouldn’t have him executed, but if he won, Qian Zhougang would hand everyone over to him. Who wouldn’t want a deal like this?

The rain went from faint and thin to a sudden torrential downpour, as if carrying a mighty anger, threatening to submerge the Immortal Mountain of the Southern Wilds.

This made the fat panda grin widely. In just half a day, they had already accumulated one million, one hundred fifty thousand jin of spirit stones, getting much closer to their three million jin target.

The big man cried out in pain, continued to throw wild punches, but the Jade Flute Gentleman evaded nimbly, countering with swift and precise strikes.

“I wish I could, but I’m not free to choose. Once I shed my status as a palace servant, I’ll proudly marry these beauties home.” Ying Zheng answered simply. The mention of “palace servant” was understood by all present, and they knew what it meant.

Tang Ying couldn’t make sense of it either. Both siblings cared deeply for each other, yet every meeting ended in discord, only stopping when they had argued enough.

He quickly swung his right arm and grappled with the two of them. Gao Zijian fought like a street brawler, with no technique at all—no fancy moves, just whatever felt right. After all, Gao Zijian had never learned any martial arts.

For five years, Zhu Yuanlong spent most of his time cultivating in the vast primal forests of the Southern Wilds.

Zi Buyu was at the front of the army. In the face of Ying Zheng’s empty city strategy, she was not suspicious; from her perspective, even if there was an ambush inside, an army of one hundred thousand charging in could flatten the entire city. Whatever plans he had, they were mere paper defenses.

An instant stretched into eternity. Though just a fleeting moment, it felt like a century of agony for everyone.

Fortunately, they didn’t linger long. The young man swept his gaze over Wang Meng’s group, finally resting on the white dragon, smiled, and walked toward the dragon.

The next day, I accompanied my father on walks, talking about many things. I wanted him to remember me, to spend one last good day with him, so I could leave with no regrets.

Xia Xinran saw the determination in his eyes and finally believed him. She gave him a few final reminders before leaving the school with Zhu Mo.

Both children had grown up under her care. Though she originally favored Yuanbao, fate was never in the hands of adults. Now that it was Gu Yuanbei, she could gladly accept it.

Ling Tianlai activated his divine sense, conjuring a teleportation array. The giant bird plunged its head in and instantly vanished.

“What’s wrong?” Emperor Ze’s eyes flashed, his gaze falling on the sparkling beads of sweat at her temple. Was her wound acting up again?

Yilin cast him a resentful glance, turned away, and dressed. Then she went to the bed and searched beneath the covers.

Old Yuan looked at the three gloating masters and said irritably, “Brother Su, what’s going on? Don’t you want to explain?” The scholar named Du also glared at Old Su, as if ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

“Hell? Eternal damnation? Mrs. Qi, is this how you curse Mr. Qi?” Qi Mingye gritted his teeth.
