Volume 1, Chapter 42: Closing In Step by Step

The strength of these burly men was not even a tenth of that of Luo Xiangwen's five fierce subordinates, so I naturally did not take them seriously at all.

Qian Xiaotao was tall and sturdy, and facing the rushing thugs, he naturally showed no fear.

Yuan Hua had the best appetite on the film crew; with the heavy workload every day, it was impossible to be picky about food, and on days involving martial arts scenes, he ate even more.

The faces of the three of them all simultaneously revealed a strange smile... a kind of smile that Jiaosha found somewhat incomprehensible.

Seeing her bulky luggage, Gu Yiyu couldn't help feeling a bit helpless. After failing to persuade her to leave behind a few items despite several attempts, he finally promised that once they arrived in the capital, he would buy her two sets of the most fashionable clothes at a tailor's shop there. Only then did she agree to take out a few things from the bundle.

Five days later, the Mu family hired three carriages and, following behind Master Wu's entourage, headed grandly in the direction of the prefecture city.

After undergoing all kinds of arduous training, Rongrong's footwork had also become nimble, allowing her to traverse any terrain as if walking on flat ground, while gaining precise control and application of her soul power.

Beneath her, a handsome yet effeminate man dressed in a servant's uniform was diligently giving her a massage.

"Run if you get the chance," Xunfan sent a voice transmission to Lietian and the others. With a sudden movement of his figure, he charged into the battlefield.

Hong Dahai walked all the way while staring at his cell phone, shaking it left and right to see if a signal might magically pop up.

"Yes," Ying Youwei nodded decisively, and a burning, eager desire was unmistakably visible within her crystal-clear, beautiful eyes.

Jian Yi was unwilling to dwell on it, retreating like a turtle into its shell. For some reason, she always felt a sense of emptiness in her heart, often sitting in a daze for long periods.

Upon a glance, Guo Jia saw three strangers—one carrying a medical box and two holding weapons—who looked utterly unfamiliar.

Seeing that Mao Rui had already finished his side, Mao Zhe and Yin Tong cast two movement-restricting spells to pin the Ghost King in place so it could not evade in a short time, and then withdrew from the combat.

Sixteen more strikes passed with the same result, failing to pose any real danger to Yang Jian. However, Tailuan's physical strength was completely exhausted, and even lifting his heavy blade seemed somewhat strenuous. With bloodshot eyes, like a gambler who had lost his entire fortune and was now wagering his very life, he continued to charge toward Yang Jian.

Yet he never expected that Bu Feifan would unhesitatingly expose all the shameful scandals of the Mount Qingcheng Sect.

"Too effeminate?" Yishui Han stared blankly at Xun You, who was slightly frowning, and then looked down at the sword Tu in his hand, failing to understand what it meant.

A large number of Black Mountain bandits fell because they could momentarily find no place to hide.

"Uh..." Ye Yuhan turned her head in a daze, cleared her throat with a thick-skinned expression, and nonchalantly changed her route.

Jiuyuan was located just a little over a hundred miles north of Jinyang City. With a Huaxia Legion of nearly thirty thousand men, coupled with Luo Xiu's military genius, Jiuyuan was bound to fall within three days.

Looking at the money pouch in Yishui Han's hand, Xun You and Su Qingyao could not help being slightly stunned. Su Qingyao even pulled out her own flattened money pouch and discovered that they were truly identical.

"Aside from this matter, I will next redistribute the future responsibilities of Bureau Chief Wei and Bureau Chief Han." Ji Gaozhi waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down and made the announcement.

As for Luo Ping's talent, Luo Bi sighed. It was getting late, and time to go home and sleep; dreams were where everything could be found.

What should she say? That Beixiyue had fallen to her current state mostly because she considered herself too clever, causing her to easily overlook things that ordinary people would readily think of. Thus, she—praised by everyone for her intelligence—was actually remarkably foolish in certain matters, so foolish that she found it laughable whenever she had a moment of sudden realization.
