You are really growing bolder by the day! Every single one of you!

"What did you say?!" Zhong Chengfa's eyes turned red in an instant upon hearing this, like a rooster whose tail had been stepped on, all his feathers bristling.

He took a fierce step forward, pointing at Zhong Chengren's nose and cursing, "Zhong Chengren! Say that again, you motherfucker!"

Holding Zhong Yuanxuan, Zhong Chengren showed no intention of backing down whatsoever. Instead, he stepped forward as well, lifting his chin high with a rebellious and defiant look on his face. "I said your son is useless! So what? Unconvinced?"

"Mother..." Mu Shiqi felt a powerlessness he had never experienced before; all the wonderful moments he had lived through during the day seemed like a mere dream.

An ordinary person would probably have been scared out of their wits long ago, but fortunately, Qin Yang had just regained consciousness, highly stimulated by the sudden turn of events. Between life and death, his body was no longer shackled by his thoughts. Relying on the survival instinct honed by being chased by fierce beasts in the mountains, he took another step toward the outer ring of the Heavenly Wolf Cavalry.

Lin Wei stood with his hands behind his back in the courtyard, his brows slightly furrowed as he watched the people below bustling about in chaos, a surge of irritation inevitably rising in his heart.

"Yinyin, he said that just to tease you..." Mu Jingyan sighed, trying to explain to Mu Yinyin that Mu Shiyan would not actually agree to her request.

Outside the city, Qin Yang and his companions sold their warhorses and weapons to shady dealers who engaged in illicit businesses. To cavalrymen, a horse was like a comrade-in-arms, and a weapon was even a soldier's second life. Yet, in order to sneak into Linling City, they had no choice but to part with them with a heavy heart.

Li Qian held Jiujiu in her arms and rode back on horseback. At the entrance, Panshi was still standing before Pontus with his head lowered. She dismounted with Jiujiu in her arms and returned the horse to him.

When her name was called, Li Qian lifted the hem of her beige dress and stood up gracefully amidst the gazes of the crowd. In order not to shame Duke Bobby and Cronus, she had put on her finest poise and etiquette.

Li Qian and Bilisi returned to the ancient castle. Figuring that Pontus was still having lunch, she went to the kitchen and prepared a portion of braised fish with soy sauce for everyone.

She stood at the doorway for quite a while, and upon seeing smoke rising from the chimney on top of the kitchen roof, she rushed into the house like a madwoman.

However, Sun Tingfang had witnessed too many great storms and had once propped up a collapsing mansion. Although his current situation was perilous, it was not yet enough to make him feel disheartened.

"Until he truly masters his own power." Nalanxiu's answer remained ambiguous, leaving Rete baffled.

The man in the black robe gave a start. Taken by surprise, he managed just in time to mobilize his robe to block the black light, yet failed to maintain his balance, plunging heavily toward the ground below.

Hearing the commotion outside, the three members of the Gang family immediately rushed out from the room. Catching sight of the fierce battle between Zhou Dian and the ferocious chief Abbot, they prepared to step forward and join forces to take down the invading enemy.

"Freeloading is fine, but if you want to freeload on accommodation, I must warn you in advance: there is no space, unless you sleep with me, or else sleep on the sofa." Li Yongle never missed a chance to provoke the other party's bottom line.

Fortunately, Fan Mo's luck was quite good; the place where he hid was unexpectedly not affected by these two magical beasts, otherwise, it would have been disastrous.

After Bei Wanchang left, the entire venue quieted down. Everyone shared a tacit understanding, all pondering the exact same matter—the auction of this plot of land.

The old wine connoisseur laughed heartily, and with a movement of his right hand as if performing magic, a brilliant pearl appeared.

Zhong Xiuxu turned around and gave a look to Gu Xiao, the Deputy Commander of the Brocade Guard. Gu Xiao nodded, indicating that he understood.

Liang Fei cautiously looked around, making sure no one was paying attention to him. He pulled a staff member aside, exchanged clothes with him, and disguised as the worker, walked into the laboratory.

With matters having progressed to this point, Zhongli Yenge did not know what else to do and could only take things one step at a time. Even if he were to become the head of the Zhongli family, what of it? The family's vitality had been severely damaged and would be unable to recover for a very long time. The current Zhongli family could only be considered a second-rate force in the state capital.
