Chapter 28: How Could This Be Possible?

“Brother Ye! I’ve brought my father to visit you specially!”
A lively, playful voice sounded from the doorway, drawing gasps of admiration from the men present.
“Wow… this beauty… she’s truly gorgeous!”
“If you listen to yourself… but still—”
They had tried to bring down Bai Jingming, finally managing to get him into the station, but less than a day later, he was released—rumor had it a high-ranking official had intervened. This left Luo Guimin dispirited and frustrated.
Chu Fan gazed into the distance for a while, realizing that the ghostly soldiers Ma Gui had seen must have passed along the road in front of the town. Shaking his head half-believing, he continued unhurriedly along the road to the left.
Behind him, the townsfolk were ceaselessly voicing words of welcome for the celestial envoy, some elderly even nearly collapsing to their knees on the spot.
Chu Fan slowly bent down, letting two streams of moonlight spill through the torn window paper, shining directly into his eyes.
The hotel room was relatively normal and modest—not the kind with a glass-walled bathroom—putting Wu Duan somewhat at ease.
Some who stood at the edge of the altar were shocked and tried to flee, but as soon as they touched the current, their bodies stiffened and in an instant, they were reduced to charred husks.
Grandpa Kong surmised that her two brothers had either been sold by Niu Ding or had fallen victim to his malice, used as pawns to blackmail other families.
The Sovereign of the Firmament was extraordinary as well; in ancient times, he had been among the most powerful in the mortal realm. Some legends claimed he was the direct disciple of an eternal supreme being, though which one exactly was a matter of heated debate—no consensus had ever been reached. Yet the legend had persisted for ages, clearly not mere fabrication.
His body moved like drifting clouds. He turned to leave, subduing the Heaven-Flipping Seal as if it were nothing. What truly thrilled Lu Xin was the prospect that, upon leaving this space, he was highly confident he could find the true body of the Martial Ancestor.
If your seal weren’t so astonishing, do you really think I would have set aside my pride to meet with you? To discuss cooperation?
The only difference now was that when the villagers looked at Meng Changsheng, their gazes held both gratitude and awe, in stark contrast to before.
Chu Xi lifted her chin, gazing into her swollen, red eyes. Slowly, he drew closer, and the next moment pressed his lips fiercely to hers, using the kiss to quell the unrest in his heart.
Shen Ruxue found her mother’s words reasonable, but at present, her mother’s own status was low, and she herself had little say before her father. That day, she had seen Shen Rong growing unexpectedly close to the old lady. She’d wanted to send Yuehong to investigate, but hadn’t expected Shen Rong to discover this as well.
Before Xuanyuan Yi could react, Xuanyuan Chi beside him leapt into the Qiantang River. Because of the height, the great splash immediately drew everyone’s attention, and they noticed Xuanyuan Yi standing in the pavilion.
“Now, let’s talk about the price!” Everything else had been settled; only the price remained unresolved.
Ning Qian smiled at Gao Zhan. Lately, Gao Zhan and Yu Feng had been helping Ning Qian out. What’s one meal? Even inviting them for two or three days would be nothing.
As the man tried to fight back, the Prince of Dingbei grabbed him and, with a flick of his wrist, hurled him down.
She struggled desperately but it was no use. At that moment, footsteps sounded at the door. She quickly closed her eyes, pretending to be unconscious.
After finishing the surgery, Xu Lin felt her legs go weak. Ever since the last operation went awry, she had been fearful of entering the operating room. Fortunately, once she put her hands to work, the familiar routine made everything easier.
Once she’d sorted out her thoughts, she felt much lighter. Halfway through their journey, night deepened. Clouds drifted across the sky, obscuring the moon, and the entire street suddenly became shrouded in gloom.
