Chapter 135: The Tree Falls

Actually, it cannot really be considered troublesome.

Just as Wang Lin entered the Ministry of Works, the Minister of Works had intended to hand over the affairs regarding the imperial tombs to him.

Wang Lin hurriedly and tactfully declined—

Are you kidding? He was only profit-driven, not truly stupid.

Constructing imperial tombs was a hot potato. Doing it well was merely expected, while doing it poorly meant anything from dismissal to exile and the confiscation of property in minor cases, or worse.

If he were even more unlucky, it might just lead to a complete family annihilation lottery.

Wang Lin had come to the capital to rise through the official ranks and recover...

After finishing their meal, the two went for a walk outside the house, and only then did Mu Ling discover that the room he had just been staying in was actually a treehouse.

Li Yanran wept uncontrollably, knowing that by now, no matter how she resisted, it was over—completely and utterly over.

"Son, what, what is wrong with you?" Yu Qiao watched Zhu suddenly vomit a mouthful of blood, struggling as she tried to get up.

The gazes of everyone present converged on Yu Rou. What she said next would determine whether this wedding could continue.

Blake felt that if he didn't even offer an esteemed guest a cup of tea, and instead immediately had someone treat his wife upon entering the door, it would be impolite by any standard.

I looked at her and saw those beautiful eyes permeated with a trace of lingering attachment and unease, instantly arousing my protective affection.

Naturally, everyone only paid attention to Wu Xiangyu stepping gracefully out of the carriage, completely ignoring the existence of Chen Luo.

Ruby: Can be used in the socket slots of weapons and armor to increase the user's strength attribute by 10 points.

Ding Guoguo wrinkled her nose rather reluctantly, picked up the medicine bowl, and drank all the medicine in one breath.

Taking advantage of everyone's momentary distraction, Cheng Lingyu suddenly summoned the Hundred Battles Sacred Tripod and the Dragon's Horn, locking onto the ten masters of the second layer of the Saint Martial realm present, including Qian Chuan and Yin Suxin.

This area was the university town of the capital, gathering all the prestigious universities. Anyone who could pass the exams to get in here was extraordinary.

It was no solution for him and Nian Yuan to keep blocking Long Tingye like this; the matter had to be resolved eventually.

"What would you have of me?" Wei Juan looked coldly toward Tiansheng Baiyu. Serving different masters, she saw no need to show excessive respect to Tiansheng Baiyu.

The white-haired, sword-browed elder's tone was full of reluctance and tender affection, because he understood that once he left this time, their next meeting might well be in the afterlife.

But now Gao Jia believed it, because he felt the almost tangible murderous intent emanating from Jun Chen, and he also saw Jun Chen's resolute gaze of absolute certainty.

Hearing Sister Xue put it that way, Shi Weixia, whose feelings had been somewhat hurt just moments before, instantly regained a bit of self-confidence.

Mario had only recently heard the moniker "Medical Immortal of Butterfly Valley" while looking through Changqingzi's quests. Since this person dared to call himself a medical immortal, he must undoubtedly be a divine doctor.

When Hopeman walked out of the hotel, Neil Scott was observing the hotel with binoculars from a residential building diagonally across from it.

"Cough, cough, cough!" His cough was becoming increasingly severe. The medicine prescribed by the doctor could no longer stop this continuous coughing.

Xia Kun perceived that Meng Xueli's consciousness seemed to be shared across all the various dreams she appeared in.

As for Wang Long and Zhou Quan and the others, the corners of their mouths were brimming with a rich, playful expression, all waiting to watch Jiang Yi make a fool of himself.

After finishing speaking, Baili Dengfeng stood up directly and strode out of the hall, leaving a helpless Mo Wentian stunned in place, speechless for a long time.

"Hehe, Dad, just rest assured. You can leave this kind of matter to Mom," Li Cheng said without the slightest worry.

Watching Tiansheng draw closer and closer, Elder Luofeng felt heartbroken. This was the last thing he wanted to see, and what Senior Brother Void was most worried about, yet it had happened after all. In the end, Tiansheng still followed in Zitong's footsteps.

With a single stroke from finger to end, Chen Xiao instantly shattered five puzzles, leaving everyone dumbfounded, to the point that they even forgot to blink or gasp in astonishment.

This Chinese restaurant was quite eye-catching. Cheng Xingyuan had originally intended to taste what Chinese food in America actually tasted like, but in the end, time ran short and he had to give up on the idea.

Moreover, since he had already hired Bai San, Bai San would certainly have to do many things for him in the future. Even many seemingly secret transactions would probably be entrusted to Bai San, so Li Cheng did not intend to hide anything from him.

At this moment, countless starlight fell from the sky, enveloping Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Bai Ze. A voice came from the air: "Starlight is infinite, the stars shift, go!" The figures of Di Jun and the three immediately vanished without a trace along with the starlight, clearly rescued by the heavenly demon clan using the Zhou Tian Star Formation.

Li Cheng's current strength could be called superhuman without the slightest exaggeration. How could Xu Tianfang snatch the phone from his hands? Li Cheng simply flicked his hand away, and Xu Tianfang grabbed empty air.

With a low shout, facing Chen Xiao's sudden change, the old man also gave a low shout, abruptly releasing his grip on the Heaven-Questing Spear. His figure strangely glided right in front of Chen Xiao, striking a palm directly toward Chen Xiao's chest.

Seeing Liang Shan agree, Bo Yiyang hurriedly nodded in assent. Yet it was strange; what could possibly delay someone of Liang Shan's caliber?

"Unclear. If it really is a magical treasure, perhaps there is a control hub!" Lin Ruoxi paused after hearing Tu Ming's words, speaking somewhat uncertainly.

The back mountain was a barren hill in the northwest of Jiangnan City, named Qingfeng Mountain. In earlier years, people from nearby counties liked to bury their deceased relatives on the mountain, and Li Xueqin's grave was also buried here back then. Although it was a barren mountain, up close there were babbling streams, and from a distance peak after peak rolled on; the scenery was quite picturesque.

A smile curled the corner of Jiang Xie's mouth. He had a hunch that the journey to the Xuanwu Kingdom would likely be full of amusement.

Zhan Tianxing and the other two were slowly surrounded by the four generals and their men, leaving them completely cut off with no way to fly. They had no choice but to retreat all the way until they fell back to the battle arena where there was nowhere left to retreat. By this time, Zhan Tianxing and Yang Wan were severely injured, while as for Zhan Zhen, with his early Spirit Realm cultivation, he couldn't stir up the slightest wave.

At this moment, they all sensed the power contained within this humanoid energy entity—it was truly infinitely close to the power of a Heavenly Emperor, while also carrying strands of the essence of warfare and the ugliness of human nature.

"Brother Ziying was just testing you just now, and had no intention of intentionally humiliating you. From now on, everyone is a friend."

Hu Sanniang looked at the secret chamber before her with a complex look in her eyes, then raised her head to look at Liang Shan, a gaze of hopeful expectation shining within her eyes.
