Chapter 123: Temptation

"Brother, you are home?"

Wang Heng’s chubby face was filled with astonishment.

What surprised her was not that the perpetually busy Lou Yu was actually at home, but rather that he had appeared in the guest courtyard.

In the past, when the Grand Madame Lou resided here, Lou Yu had never been particularly attentive; at most, he would visit occasionally to pay his respects out of courtesy. Once the Grand Madame and her entourage departed, this guest courtyard seemed to have been completely forgotten by him.

If Wang Heng had not...

She wore an apricot-colored sweater, the simplest of styles. Her shoulder-length, wavy hair was tucked behind her ears, highlighting her fair complexion. Her eyes appeared particularly bright at this moment.

However, she was only at the level of a novice exorcist. How could a mere novice exorcist possibly possess a two-hundred-year lifespan? One hundred and fifty years would be pushing it to the limit.

Yet, even knowing that there would be no good outcome from targeting Su Munan, that man still could not help but strike. This situation made Fang Han realize that the benefits Lin Yuanxi had promised Commander Tie must be unimaginable; otherwise, Commander Tie would never have meddled in their affairs.

When Chu Haoxue heard that Chu Liancheng had returned, she had nearly reached the point of wanting to kill him, but fortunately, others intervened, and she was unharmed.

She did not know how to describe it, but the other party seemed to be hesitant because of this matter as well.

"I... how did I end up here? What is this place?" Yin Jiao slowly opened his eyes and muttered to himself. He realized that everything before him was unfamiliar; he had never seen any of it before.

"What is wrong with Jing Shi University? Can domestic schools compare to those abroad? As for the National Natural Science First Prize, although I haven't heard of it, isn't everyone already aware of how domestic awards are handled?" This was a netizen with a conscience.

At that moment, it was as if both of them could hear the sound of hearts breaking; the very silence of the air seemed to be floating with endless sorrow.

After Xiang Xiao left, Zhan Yu, who had been secretly watching from the corner, lingered for a long while. Only after confirming that Yu Chi was truly fine did he leave with peace of mind.

Relying on this river, Zhan Yu and Yu Chi stayed here and lived a quiet life for many days. In the blink of an eye, today was the tenth day of the month.

Su Zimo heard the words beside his ear clearly, but he just smiled, indifferent. Instead, he happily ran around with Su Xi'er, controlling their characters in the game.

Now that Murong Xin had called out the name 'Tianyu,' it showed that she was not just humoring him for the sake of the thin veil, but truly cared for him.

"Pray tell, I am happy to answer any questions for a dying man." Although his face had become deep and weathered, and his voice had grown old, his tone still carried a hint of triumph.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to turn the corner at the street ahead, Long Tianwei suddenly froze, his footsteps slowing. A low voice had drifted from behind the corner, muffled by the torrential rain. If Long Tianwei’s senses had not been far sharper than an average person's, he would have nearly missed it.

Su Zimo cast his gaze over and was slightly stunned. The deputy station head currently buried in his work was the very same middle-aged man who had driven past him in a white sedan that morning. Despite this thought, he did not hesitate and sat down.

That was the tip of the Emperor's Sword, that was a brilliant streak of lightning, and those were Ye Qingxue's eyes.

"Very well. Since Fairy Xinyu also knows of this pill, then I shall let Fairy Xinyu explain its origin and its peculiar nature," the Master of Tianlan Pavilion said after hearing He Xinyu's words.

Seizing the moment when Old Five exerted too much force and had no time to retract his blade, the machete in Yuan Xing's hand landed accurately on his arm. Old Five let out a shriek, his severed arm falling to the ground along with the blade, while he collapsed in agony, wailing loudly.
