Chapter 29: Who Do You Think You Are?

“Miss Chu, the family head has instructed that during this period you must be extremely cautious when traveling. Team One has already gone ahead to secure the venue for the press conference. We need to hurry on the road...”
The convoy sped along the highway, and the Dragon Squad member in the passenger seat turned to look respectfully at Chu Qingcheng in the back, saying, “Also, it’s best that the press conference is limited to a short duration...”

“I knew you would come!” Qin Suzhen, seated at the head of the table, broke into a satisfied smile the moment she saw Yu Ling.

Fang Zhicheng simply left with Yang Chuyi. When they met people on the road who asked about Fang Xintao, Yang Chuyi replied perfunctorily, and when annoyed, didn’t bother to answer at all.

He was torn over whether or not to have children. To be honest, having a child would be nice, but once they had one, their attention would inevitably shift more toward the child, and the time left for each other would decrease.

Recently, black silver has been appearing everywhere; though it’s mostly just a farce, if they really uncover clues about the Wu Yi tribe, rewards would surely follow.

Sure enough, upon waking, Ning Xiaoxiao immediately started pondering how to take the first step toward wealth—by filling her stomach.

Cheryl almost blurted out the word "I," but restrained herself in the end, and could only keep comforting her sister.

As for Ning Ansheng and Rong Yan, once others learned that one was a farmer’s son and the other a fallen noble, any desire for conversation vanished.

Liu Xingzu volunteered to select elite soldiers from Xianjing Town for a northern expedition, reaching all the way to the northernmost tip of the former Nurgan Commandery, first conducting basic reconnaissance, then reporting to the court for further action.

Finally, they reached the end of the Celestial Pivot Chamber, where a massive stone gate loomed ahead! Beside it stood two statues—one with a human head and wolf body, and the other an elderly man stroking his beard.

Sister Lei was still dressed in white short robes, her wide sleeves hiding her red lips. Who knew if her expression behind was secretly amused.

Suddenly, a thought sprang into her mind, and it filled her heart with indescribable joy.

The unexpected slap startled the two elders, but they quickly shouted angrily and darted toward Zhao Yi like lightning.

Yet for some reason, the arrival of this man immediately eased the pressure in Wang Shishi’s heart. A sense of safety seemed to surround her all at once.

At this moment, Peony Fairy had closed her eyes in contemplation. After a brief pause, she opened her eyes, summoned her flying sword, and thrust it into the ground. Each strike marked a prominent coordinate. Tang Chuan, sensing her intent, fended off Deadwood while sending a wisp of fire onto each coordinate.

“So that’s how it is—the higher one’s cultivation, the more pages one can control?” Long Xingyu nodded, flicking his fingers. The paper shot in a silver arc and transformed into a flash of light that returned to his hand.

A bolt of thunder split a giant tree in half, turning it to charcoal. The tree crashed to the ground, and a figure, battered and disheveled, jumped to another tree the instant the lightning struck. Seeing the tragic state of the tree, he broke out in cold sweat—had he moved just a bit slower, he would have ended up like the tree.

Sang Jin Yue knew, of course, and she hadn’t expected that just a glance at the midwife would nearly cost her life.

“You made the first move, and now you want to stop without even explaining why?” Antonio asked, clearly dissatisfied.

Mentioning Sweet Beauty, Sang Jin Yue remembered the snow pearl bracelet she was to pass to Master Ciyuan, and sighed inwardly—not all lovers end up together. Since she possessed it, she should cherish it well.

As it raged, Kong Xuan had already attempted to sweep it with his Five-Colored Divine Light, but failed. Clearly, the difficulty of containment in its sleep and in its rage were worlds apart. Now, protected by his sister Kong Yi, he was gathering his strength, hoping to enhance the power of the divine light.
