Chapter 49 Madam Pei from the Past Life

Shen Zhi’ning knew how determined Gu Yunche was. In their previous life, he had remained unmarried for her sake and guarded the frontier for the rest of his life. If she did not offer a reason convincing enough this time, he would surely continue pestering her relentlessly.

Since it was impossible, she should not give him hope.

“What did you say?”

“Young Marquis, I truly am already betrothed.”

Gu Yunche’s gaze shifted from dazed disbelief to shock. Beneath his sleeve, his hand clenched into a fist, until he felt—

Zhonya’s stasis would last long enough for Kassadin’s ultimate to come off cooldown. The moment Zhonya’s effect disappeared, he would undoubtedly flee at once, because his teammates had no way to keep up with his attack rhythm. If he died first at that point and they lost the game, he would bear eighty percent of the blame.

But if I did that, I would first have to betray General Ye, who had sacrificed himself to save me, and then scheme against Zheng Shihuan, who had fought alongside me. Along the way, I would end up killing every “friend” I had.

Since they did not know the enemy’s tactics, they could only overwhelm them through personal strength rather than targeted strategy. That was why, at times like this, the strength of the players in each lane became especially important.

The throat, the chest, and the groin were also vital targets in martial arts. Because they were relatively vulnerable, attacks aimed at them could produce unexpectedly effective results.

This showed just how important the information gap was. Even ordinary grassroots police officers knew such things, while many poorly informed farmers remained completely unaware.

“That bastard Chang Baxian is far too reckless. He actually dared to send people to ambush my great-grandfather’s residence? I think he doesn’t want to remain in Nanjing any longer!” Zheng Shihuan said through clenched teeth, his voice filled with hatred.

But… Sister Gu broke her vow because of a single word from Mother. Did Mother really hold such an important place in Sister Gu’s heart?

“Brother-in-law, Sister is tired too. Why don’t you hold her while she sleeps?” A teasing voice rang out. It was that girl Jessie.

Kitten Girl hid in Renxi’s arms, still unable to figure out what had happened. After Renxi explained it, she found it strange. So much time had passed—why had she heard nothing at all? Not even the sound of heaven and earth collapsing?

The Red Fox Empire became the greatest winner, but strictly speaking, the true victor was Ron. Although Tiago had voluntarily conceded in the final summoner’s battle, no one doubted Ron’s strength anymore. Unnoticed by all, Ron had already entered the ranks of the Grand Summoners.

Fu Jincheng’s affairs in G City were finally coming to an end. He had bought their plane tickets, and the two of them were preparing to return to the capital.

As for her brother, spurred on by her, he had entered secluded cultivation at the Azure Cloud Sect after attending her dual-cultivation ceremony with Senior Brother Yun, preparing to form his Nascent Soul.

Lin Yixun sat before Fu Jincheng, staring at him intently, as though trying to understand what his heart was made of and how he could possess such profound schemes.

The Han navy opened fire on the Liaodong navy. The latter suffered devastating losses. Explosions erupted everywhere, and corpses covered the surface of the water.

Yet no one had expected that, just after they finished eating and stepped out of the restaurant, they would once again find themselves surrounded.

Even those geniuses with single spiritual roots had been left far behind by Xuanyuan. When Xuanyuan joined the Sword Sect and successfully established his foundation three years later, only a few of the other disciples who had entered with him had barely reached the eleventh layer of the Qi Refining stage. The gap between them and Xuanyuan was enormous.

Fierce, savage, unstoppable… At that moment, Xia Tian seemed to have transformed into a true beast.

He raised his head in astonishment and saw her hanging upside down beneath the eaves. When she suddenly spoke, his heart gave a hard jolt from fright.

As he spoke, he cast a sidelong glance at the Snake-Headed King, believing he was giving him a flirtatious look. In reality, the Snake-Headed King’s stomach churned at the sight, and he wanted nothing more than to turn around and vomit.
