Volume 1, Chapter 44: She Searched for Him Twice When She Was Little

In the afternoon, Fu Beichen called Gu Xingnian, but she did not answer. Thus, he headed straight back to the old family mansion.

There were some matters he wished to clarify in person.

Not even ten minutes after entering, he was driven out by the old master.

Fu Shihong outright declared that he no longer had such a grandson, ordering the staff to sweep him out the door.

However, he did not actually leave. Instead, he found Uncle Wang, the butler, who was supervising the work in the garden.

Uncle Wang had served the Fu family for thirty years. As soon as he caught sight of Fu Beichen, he hurried over.

"Young Master, the old master's coughing has been acting up lately. Please, do not anger him any further! Once he is in a better mood, I will call you."

Fu Beichen nodded, "...

Gu Xingnian still did not answer his call. He tried several more times, but there was still no response.

Consequently, Fu Beichen went straight back to the old family estate.

Not even ten minutes after going inside, he was chased out by the old master.

Meanwhile, when the righteous army recently distributed the Yue people's rice, the magistrate also deemed it as "taking another's property," which should not be accepted. Accepting it would negatively impact the moral education of the common people, leading to a sense of entitlement through unearned gains and undermining the foundation of the official salary-land system.

Emperor Gengjin nodded heavily, a trace of nostalgia flashing in his eyes. He was the first to fly toward that majestic peak.

Sun Da could tell that he seemed extremely reluctant to agree, yet wore a hesitant expression, lost in thought about something unknown.

However, just as he was about to touch the Monk of Tang, he suffered an electric shock, sending a wave of numbness through his entire body.

As vast as the human heart is, so high is the sky. One must perceive the impending calamities of destiny with a wise soul, and overcome, transcend, and break free from them using a formidable spirit.

Asking such a question and bringing up the protection moon undoubtedly violated professional ethics, but he cared little for the consequences. With money in hand, it was time to change jobs anyway.

It felt as though a warm breeze was blowing by, imparting an indescribable sense of comfort that made one wish to keep watching on and on.

Following the fourth round, the seventy-two main-competition contestants, together with the eight top-tier seeded players, formed the top eighty finalists for the grand finale.

This matter had been deeply buried in his heart for more than ten years. At this moment, he finally could not help but voice the question.

Back in the early days of the state of Qi, with a mere three to four hundred scholars, it was able to conquer the Eastern Yi and eventually become a powerful nation. Whether from the Confucian or Mohist schools, these disciples were all capable of governing a state.

Yet, the heaven-defying power of the seventy-two transformations' immobilization spell bound time itself, forging a sliver of possibility.

"Fine, I know! Go tend to your own matters! I will find somewhere to sit by myself!" Ji Han nodded.

This was an acknowledgment that within this region, a figure capable of stirring the cosmos and defying the heavens with unmatched invincibility had been born.

What the hell! Qin Tian spat, "I recall, which direction is the Seventh Princess's bedchamber?"

At that very moment, a beam of light shot out from the top of the spaceship, illuminating the ground. A moment later, a three-dimensional monster projection taller than a person materialized out of thin air.

Chu He trembled all over. How did this divine lightning falling from the heavens sound just like the tribulation crossing in cultivation lore? Could this not be the era of the Three Kingdoms, but rather a world of cultivation?

After Lingxiao and Zhu Shaocong entered the subterranean palace, the Crown Princess actually arrived before the palace gates, accompanied by Tianhai Batu, Shangguan Qing'er, and a host of other martial artists from the Tianhai Empire.

They bowed to one another. Snape did not just brush it off perfunctorily; instead, with a dark face, he bowed back stiffly and properly to Lynn.

Seeing this, the opponent's experts could no longer sit still. High up in the sky, a figure suddenly soared out.

Chu He could not understand why, when it was clearly a trench no deeper than a foot, Qin Shengnan refused to step across it. As long as she moved outside the circle, she could close in on Chen Bao and launch a direct attack upon him.

Having learned that Lin Jin was dining with Xianxian and fearing for her safety, he had immediately rushed over with his men.

"Good. Let's all do our best." As the current core of the team, Cheng Lai also nodded and spoke.

Qiao Meilin ate the breakfast on her plate completely, then wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue and began meticulously retouching her makeup.

Hati abruptly leaped up from his armchair, his face turning ashen as he looked at the adjutant's corpse. One after another, mermen crawled aboard the warship, while a series of screams echoed from the deck of the opposing merchant vessel. Needless to say, that squad of naval personnel who had boarded the ship was likely doomed.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu smiled. Since it had not happened back then, now that they had encountered it, they might as well follow Liu Yifei's advice and simply enjoy it to the fullest.
