Gu Xingnian had no idea what had happened, but Sheng Weiwei was recounting it with great excitement.
“Niannian, Jiang Kexin is finished this time! Heaven is truly on our side!”
“Now the entire internet knows she knowingly became a mistress and interfered in someone else’s marriage! Let’s see how she can keep pretending to be an innocent beauty after this!”
Gu Xingnian had only just recovered from her fever. She was still weak, and her thoughts were sluggish.
She stared blankly at Sheng Weiwei. “What do you mean?”
“You still don’t know?”
Sheng Weiwei leaned closer and lowered her voice, though she could hardly contain her excitement.
“This morning, Jiang Kexin held a fan appreciation event. Then your marriage certificate with Fu Beichen was exposed, and now the entire internet knows she’s the other woman! The evidence is irrefutable!”
“The fans, right there on the spot…”
Outside, they were surrounded as tightly as a deep pit or an impenetrable prison camp, with countless arrows aimed at everyone who tried to leave. To run would be no different from seeking death! The food had just been cooked, so you might as well eat before deciding what to do. If you must die, at least die with a full stomach!” Mu Zisan said.
“This is related to our rigorous training, but it also has to do with modern technology. Technology is highly advanced now, so if it is used properly, criminals have nowhere to escape.” The deputy captain spoke with great pride. It was obvious that he regarded the police profession as sacred, and that he took great pleasure in his work.
“Besides, if the fire gets out of control and the entire Tiger Peace Mountain catches fire, it will be reduced to ruins. How many living creatures will die? What use would there be in taking it then? I ask the general to think it over carefully.” Zhuang Fu persisted.
A glimmer flashed across her fist, and I knew she had used up all the true energy I had left inside her. She had only just learned the mental cultivation method; it was impossible for her to cultivate true energy on her own so quickly. She could only be using the energy I had left within her.
With my heart full of unease, I followed them into the reception hall, stealing occasional glances at Wen Wu in an attempt to determine why they had come. Unfortunately, Wen Wu’s expression remained utterly calm, and I could discover nothing at all.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Five or six arrows flew toward him at once. The sound of them tearing through the air was extraordinarily forceful; clearly, they had been launched by machinery.
Only after these people had left did they hurry away one after another, each wearing an apprehensive expression and urging the next person along. Ming Cheng glanced back at them, then looked at his watch. The time had come.
I shook my head helplessly, then took off the short-sleeved shirt I was wearing. Immediately afterward, everyone in the hall turned their eyes toward me.
To reach the entrance to the competition venue, all one had to do was carry the token—the flag—and find the informant. The informant would then lead you inside. They were not difficult to identify: anyone in the casino who neither gambled nor watched the games was an informant.
The Hall of the Medicine King, one of the Ten Great Sects, had clearly been unshakable only a short while ago. And now it was about to fall apart? That sounded like the biggest joke of the year.
These ancient people knew nothing of modern advancement. If she told them that she had traveled here from the modern era, would they treat her as some kind of freak?
Feng Caitian could not help laughing when she saw the expressions on everyone’s faces, as though they had been forced to abandon their own children.
A city like this, whose name shared a character with that of the continent, was of a higher rank and far larger than Summer City. It was also somewhat more prosperous.
As a high-ranking celestial talisman master, he had naturally gained something from it, but it was still not enough to help him advance further.
The blood talisman shone brilliantly, unexpectedly resonating with the round pearl. Its radiance suddenly intensified, seeping out between Han Feng’s fingers as though it were about to force his palm open.
Beside them, Jing Wan’s expression became just a little strange. This eminent monk, likely among the most distinguished in all the nations, was actually a super charlatan?
Huang Yulong could not help sneering. “Since when have you possessed complete jurisdiction over the city?” Leaving aside the precious tributes that must be offered every year, even when something happened in an important city, or when its successive governors were replaced, which matter was ever not known and tacitly approved by the reigning lord before you could take power?
“My dears, I’m sorry. I wrote several thousand extra words this morning, and after proofreading, it ended up rather late. I’ll definitely update earlier tomorrow, still at ten in the morning!”
After a while, the maids finished tidying the room. They also placed some green-tea fragrance inside to absorb the odors in the air.

The director of discipline had truly been right. In the principal’s eyes, anyone who studied well was genuinely remarkable. After all, he was the principal.
The Valley of Spirit Medicines was still an important stronghold of the Huo family. Since the Bai family had attacked once and failed to take it, they would presumably send a second wave of cultivators to fight.
The Huo family, however, had no intention of letting them leave so easily. They unleashed every offensive force at their disposal, including talismans and formations.
The prison cart clearly sank lower, and Ji Yunshen sensed it as well. He sat inside the cage with his eyes slightly closed and an utterly calm expression, unmoved by everything happening outside.
The middle-aged man who had appeared at the beginning with a composed air suddenly sharpened his gaze. He spoke coldly.
It was precisely because of this judgment that she had acted without hesitation today, engaging in this somewhat absurd affair with Li Xiaoyao.
The photographs showed Xu Rui meeting with the bald thug. The two had their arms around each other’s shoulders, looking extremely familiar.
Blood gushed forth, and the two severed arms fell across the tabletop. The killer’s face instantly turned pale, but he merely let out a muffled groan, gritting his teeth and forcibly holding back his screams.
After a long while, Ye Zhusheng suddenly opened his eyes. A trace of coolness surfaced in them, mingled with a hint of resolve.
Chu Yunlian clearly caught the murderous intent that flashed briefly in his eyes. Liuli was about to step forward and attack as well, but Yiyang grabbed her and held her back. Liuli glanced at his hand nervously. She seemed to want to say something, but in the end said nothing and obediently retreated to the side.
The princess knew who Zhang San was the moment Magistrate Zhang mentioned him. However, she had been so immersed in grief over the deaths of the two wild geese that she had been unable to pull herself out of it. When she saw Zhang San sobbing and whining there, she felt that such behavior was unbecoming of a man, and therefore paid him no attention.
