Volume 1 Chapter 66: Does Getting Caught in the Rain Make People's Hearts Ache?

Fuming with anger, Lan Guiyuan did not speak a single word to Yu Ruoxiang all the way back. Yu Ruoxiang did not offer any explanation either; instead, she remained lost in a daze, her facial expressions bizarrely shifting between sorrow, anger, and joy.

"Just like that." Is this person trying to make fun of me? I looked at him vigilantly, waiting to see what kind of nonsense would spew from his mouth.

"You are coming with me to see the Empress Mother right now. You are not allowed to speak a word later. No matter what I say, you will just agree with it, understand?" Yun Xi grabbed him by the collar and recklessly flew toward the Zhonghe Hall.

For a doctor, being able to cure a patient is the happiest thing in the world. From the perspective of a friend, she was truly happy for her, glad that she would finally no longer have to suffer the torment of illness.

She had just picked up the plate from the table when she heard a piercing scream from outside. The plate in her hand dropped back onto the table. Fortunately, it didn't shatter, but outside, Lorraine's screams grew louder and increasingly agonizing.

—Zhou Sui's subordinates played deaf and dumb, bitterly waiting for an opportunity. Until the annual temple fair worshiping Lord Guan, a genuine bloody gang war completely erupted. Zhao Li was shot and killed on the spot, and Zhou Sui's gang also suffered heavy losses. Amidst the pouring rain, a heavily wounded Ye Jingming collapsed on the street.

With a rustle and bustle, the crowd retreated like a receding tide. In the blink of an eye, only Jiang Huai and his son remained in the room.

Furthermore, their appearance was far too bizarre and coincidental. People who hadn't shown up for over a decade—how could they happen to run into them just at this moment?

"Lord Ancestral Dragon, his cultivation level is so low. Isn't this a bit too early?" Gu Sansi said with a hint of reluctance.

There were many eyewitnesses, and doctors had examined the body. Kong Ming had indeed died of natural sudden death, and the possibility of homicide was thoroughly ruled out. This result caused the clues trailing the Year-Governing Deity to hit another dead end.

She also understood that trying to maintain her composure before Lin Yuanfan was impossible, and was instead trying to figure out how to survive today's ordeal.

"Eh? You know? They're all just old Daoist priests. You wouldn't happen to mean that those old Daoist priests are also exceptional beings, would you?" Zhang Chuilan asked with an astonished expression.

"Second Brother, you know very well that Father is currently in closed-door seclusion trying to break through to the peak of the Grandmaster realm. We must not disturb him at this time," Su Jin said firmly.

Lin Langtian, standing nearby, also smiled, exceedingly delighted to see that Lin Yuanfan's physique was even more robust than before.

"Could... could it be that my husband has gotten into some kind of trouble?" A nervous expression filled Ning's face.

When Lin Jin and Xia Tian first arrived at Wanda a little past twelve, Xia Tian's scheduled appointment time had not yet arrived; he had booked it for one-thirty in the afternoon, and now the time was just about right.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, is there truly no way you can reconsider?" Luo Yunhai inquired. Having witnessed Lin Yuanfan's immense power, he understood his true value. Missing out on Lin Yuanfan would be a massive loss for the Kunlun Dao, and if Lin Yuanfan were to join the Wuji Dao, it would deal a heavy blow to the Kunlun Dao.

"What do you mean?" Chu Yuan's eyes widened. The Freedom Realm had existed for a millennium; what status did the person before him hold to dare utter words about destroying the Freedom Realm?

Su Zi wore a dark expression. As soon as she returned to her room, even before Qiuyue could try to flatter her, she intended to strip off her clothes and remove her makeup.

Tang Xiling seemed to have a premonition of something. Hesitantly, she sat down to the side, her gaze fixed entirely on Chen Jiaxuan.

Taking advantage of the moment to lower his head and take a look, he couldn't help but be startled. He saw that half of Tiger Yun's sleeves were rolled up high, his arm was wrapped entirely in bandages, and his trousers were brand new, baggy, and somewhat ill-fitting—judging by the look of it, they were newly bought.

His special skill was that when treading on the water surface, he would not splash excessively large ripples, and he could keep his upper body in an unchanging posture. Moreover, since he was already some distance away from the shore, others could not see through his trick.

Mi Xiang'er felt that she owed the other person a debt of gratitude for saving her life, so her words and actions ought to be more humble than his.

Qin Chen was no saint, and there were not many people in the Ning family who were close to him, so naturally he had no obligation to protect everyone in the Ning family. However, the safety of his mother and grandfather still had to be taken into consideration.

Lin Chen's plan was to have Luotian Huan release a virus within Alex's flagship control center. The release of the virus would inevitably plunge the interior of the flagship into chaos, and once such an incident occurred, Basel would certainly hold the fleet commander, Alex, accountable. This was Lin Chen's objective.

Chen Yuan subconsciously glanced down; it was precisely the "Temporary Access Application Form for District D" that he had submitted.

The person surrounded in the middle checked the contents of the cloth bag, let out a sigh of relief, and cast a casual glance over Fang Shanshui and the others. When his gaze landed on the bamboo-hatted figure behind Fang Shanshui, his brows suddenly furrowed, his nose twitched slightly as he sniffed the air, and then his pupils abruptly constricted.

The Wangxi Lake, which had originally been shrouded by a formation, was now fully exposed to her eyes as the formation shattered.

Back when Song Shi served as the prefect, he could only ever bid farewell to Huan Ling's retreating figure from ten or twenty miles outside the prefecture city. This time, finally able to see him off over a long distance, he accompanied him all the way to Fugu County on the banks of the Yellow River.

Although the vixen possessed all of Hu Yuan's memories, the impression left by the Demon King of a millennium ago ran far too deep, so she hardly dared to joke around with him.

Yin Mengbai was genuinely very good to her now, and his tongue was no longer as vicious as it used to be.

"Is it for Madam Mo?" Instantly, Xiaofu realized that Jiang Hedong was struggling to voice certain words, so she immediately helped him answer.

"Someone controlled it, probably the kind of situation you just mentioned where 'what if this environment actually has a heart'," Grey Hand said.

Yet it had only been a month, and the neighbor boy and current husband who had treasured her like a precious gem for eighteen years had already begun staying away from home overnight?
