Chapter 58 She Is Acting

"An entirely baseless accusation, why would it be pinned upon me?" Meng Yingying looked earnestly at the kneeling maidservant, a hint of puzzlement mixed into her even tone. "Could it be that you remember wrongly? When have I ever coerced the eldest Miss Ding?"

"It was, it was indeed Miss Meng!"

"Could it be that the two of you, mistress and servant, concocted this story beforehand to escape punishment? Why would I want to harm the third Miss Ding? We are mere acquaintances who exchange greetings in passing, and have barely spoken a few words."

"With so many formidable martial artists present, even if ten thousand cavalrymen came from outside the city, not a single one could escape," Li Zi said, lifting his head to gaze at the towering city wall.

The leader of the Northern Province delegation hailed from the Provincial Department of Education. He was a stern-looking man, and the moment he laid eyes on Tang Zhi, his expression immediately turned displeased.

Sensing the gazes of his two old friends, he exerted almost his entire willpower just to keep his expression from changing.

What is meant by the ultimate supreme being? It signifies that such a creature stands at the absolute pinnacle of the world; in terms of bloodline, it is impossible for any existence in the universe to surpass their terror.

With the black-armored scouts of Qingzhou leading the way, Zang Er led nine sword-hidden youths on horseback out of the mouth of Dragon God Valley.

As for climbing the mountain to cut down trees to make one's own coffin, that was entirely out of the question. The authorities did not allow commoners to chop down trees, as those belonged to the property of the officials, and felling them was punishable by a heavy fine.

Flying Flower City choosing to pledge allegiance to the Machir Kingdom might very well be linked to the faction of old city lords like Evelyn.

Village Chief Tian entrusted the construction of the house to Tian Dahu, while assigning the land reclamation to his eldest son Tian Youchuan and Tian Tieshuanshan.

Dong Guan was extremely satisfied. Initially, he remained silent, but eventually, putting on a front of being pestered beyond endurance, he casually tossed out Zhao Yanhuan's glassware shop.

Xiaotian was no different. Every step Xiaotian took had the staunch and all-out support of Military Governor Zhang; without him, Xiaotian would not have anything he possessed in Xijing. Therefore, in the depths of his heart, Xiaotian had long since regarded Military Governor Zhang as family. Seeing Governor Zhang's current condition, Xiaotian felt an immense wave of self-blame, deeply regretting that he had failed to properly look after the Governor back then and allowed him to sustain injuries.

Yanglong was not loyal to any particular faction, nor to the Black Mountain Old Demon, but rather to his own ideals and beliefs, firmly convinced that he was walking a righteous and correct path. To make a person like this submit—Gao Ming felt that expending such effort would be far better spent simply having a direct fight with the Black Mountain Old Demon.

"Hah, no matter how pleasant you make it sound, it still boils down to sending me to my death, right? Therefore, it's not like I don't have another path I can take!" Mou Gang said coldly.

"No matter what the future holds, I will stay by your side. Even if you are exiled to the Fifth Zone of the Moon, I will pilot a spacecraft to rescue you!" Wang Mengmeng raised her head, speaking with a resolute expression.

An animation she had watched in her past life surfaced in her mind—a world with a rigorous system, encompassing both science and metaphysics, where metaphysics and science coexisted in perfect symbiosis under a grand principle known as "Truth."

Then he recounted to Jiang Jingshu the recent events. In any case, the developments of late indeed bore the push of his hands, so telling the truth did nothing harm, though naturally, he withheld his true identity.

Zou Yan felt she could agree to the first two conditions. Primarily, she had always studied traditional martial arts and the etiquette of the pugilistic world, understanding that the master-disciple relationship demanded absolute and unconditional obedience. However, the tuition fees were exorbitant—just how exorbitant were they? The money they had brought along this time was quite limited.

The father and son chatted together, the son recounting his development in Xingsha City over the past few years and sharing a few personal anecdotes with the old man. Mostly, he simply didn't want to conceal anything from these two kind-hearted parents. After all, they were the biological parents who had nurtured this body, and their actions genuinely moved his heart deeply.

Though nothing actually happened, Wang Mengmeng was still quite happy, for this after all demonstrated that her position in this fellow's heart was so exalted that he could think of no one else besides her.
