Volume 1, Chapter 59: Visiting Family

What made matters worse was Sun Zhong's aggressive tone, which was adding fuel to the fire. It would be a miracle if he could remain polite.

Tiger did not answer Sobis immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes slightly and seemed to be sensing something.

As for Tiger and Lenny, whose powers were equally undetectable, they were dismissed for the same reason—he assumed they were merely family members of the mercenary group's members and possessed no magic or battle qi whatsoever.

Just as Zhang Tianqi was feeling utterly conflicted, a wailing sound suddenly reached his ears. The sound seemed near and far at once; sometimes it felt as though it were right inside the room, and other times it seemed to come from next door.

However, with just a slight manipulation by Lin Feng, the indomitable flower Wu Minruo regained her freedom shortly after.

Luo Kaiping was stunned for a moment, but then nodded. It was completely normal for Zhou Bingran to say such things. Ever since Luo Kaiping had known him, he had always been this kind of person, unchanged through all these years.

Mrs. Zhou agreed to it mainly to give face to the British Duke. Moreover, if Jinghe's maternal uncle had a respectable and proper wedding, it would reflect well on Jinghe herself, and when the news reached the British Duke, he would know that Jinghe's maternal grandfather's family was of good standing.

Ye Yu glanced briefly and sensed that the Coiling Dragon Sword within his body was beginning to stir restlessly, likely sensing the presence of another Coiling Dragon Sword avatar. However, Ye Yu did not rush to follow; instead, he stayed behind Ye Tianlin, knowing that there must be mechanisms and formations here, or else it would not be left completely unguarded.

Although Madam Sui the Elder did not have a firm grasp of the current political situation, she inexplicably trusted the judgment of the British Duke's wife. Events proved that although Xu Jinghe's choices initially seemed unreasonable, they ultimately turned out to be immensely beneficial.

When they first met, the relationship between Jinghe and Sui Nian'e was not particularly close, and was even far inferior to her friendship with Yao Ling'er.

I asked him what was wrong, but he turned his head to look at me, and then shifted his gaze to my axe. A cold gleam flashed in that eye, making me dare not meet his gaze.

Back at Jingyue Nunnery, Master Jingyun also loved drinking this kind of tea the most. A purple clay teapot, two coarse porcelain teacups, and wisps of fragrance curling upward gradually blurred the master's eyes, which were as clear as spring water.

"Where do you think you are going!" Lady Dongli asked coldly. "Or do you no longer wish to use this soap?" Lady Dongli struck mercilessly at the very hearts of these two old fellows.

"Fifth Concubine, it is not your turn to discipline the people by my side. Mama Wang, Mama Zhao, hold her down and give her a slap across the face! I will take full responsibility for whatever happens." The First Madam vented all her pent-up fury on Yu Dan, who kept getting in her way.

I told him I was looking for someone, and that the fortune-telling crone had said the person was somewhere around Wuming County in Nanning. I had arrived in Nanning just the day before yesterday and had already rented a place in Wuming to settle down temporarily, but after searching for two days, there was still no trace at all.

Qiongying was dressed in thin garments. She removed the hairpin from her head, letting her raven hair cascade down, and exuding an air of languid leisure.

Observing Hu Jinxing, who stood as steadfastly as a towering mountain, Xie Natural discovered that the big man's entire body seemed to merge into a single entity, leaving not the slightest flaw to be found.

At this thought, Bai Tao looked around at his disciples, but saw no trace of disappointment on their faces. He let out a silent breath of relief—thankfully, he had been overthinking.

Thinking along these lines, Xiang Weier, currently wearing Yan Tan's appearance, simply chose not to fight back and let Yu Shaoxing strike her.

Furthermore, her senior brother had obtained the 'Gold and Silver Leaf' during his training journey to the South China Sea—an ancient plant over a thousand years old—and had used every single bit of it.

Besides, there had been no news from Tiandu City whatsoever, and she remained entirely clueless regarding her mother and the divine beast, leaving her with no choice but to patiently wait.

"Sister Yue'er was injured while trying to protect my brother, and she still hasn't woken up. It seems she is missing a crucial medicinal ingredient, and my brother becoming the commander of the city guards is also related to this matter," Ye Xue said in a low voice, looking quite depressed as she brought up the topic.

Plessis's gaze froze. Piercing someone's hand through with a bamboo chopstick was nothing special, but piercing the hand of someone close to a Silver Battle Master was a different story entirely.

Since the other party had matters to attend to, Beidou Xing could not force him to stay. He expressed his utmost gratitude as he escorted him to the door, asking Wang Yuru to see him off on his behalf.

"I don't have the authority to tell you that much." He Yingqiu concentrated intently on trimming his nails, refusing to look up at me even once.

Having found Qiu Xuan, Dai Li and the others finally relaxed their tense minds. Hearing Qiu Xuan say this, they all felt an overwhelming wave of physical exhaustion wash over them, knowing full well that this was not a matter they could assist with. If they had been of any help, they wouldn't have needed to come all this way to find Qiu Xuan in the first place.

At that moment, the dishes were served, and Cecil said, "Alright, let's eat and chat at the same time. Please eat to your heart's content today." Clearly wishing to drop the subject, Cecil urged everyone to start eating.

Ever since mastering Tai Chi, Qiu Xuan had rarely had the occasion to use it fully, as his own raw strength was usually enough to resolve situations. He simply hadn't encountered opponents far superior to him, so he had never used it in a real combat scenario outside of friendly sparring. Unleashing it with all his might this time, Qiu Xuan found that he had not quite witnessed the true power that Tai Chi ought to possess.

The rain outside gradually subsided, and the sun broke through the clouds, casting its warm light over the earth.

Qin Mucheng ordered a few random dishes, and upon looking, Su Ning'an found that they were all her favorites. Her heart blossomed with joy. Did her boss actually know what she liked, or did her boss just happen to share her tastes?
