Volume 1, Chapter 52: I Will Not Allow My Son to Call Another Man Daddy

Cheng Qian's delicate face was cool and expressionless: "The agreement is already signed. Once I develop the medicine to treat your younger brother, you will give Xiaoye to me."

Li Zhinan frowned deeply: "Very well, but I want to add another agreement."

With a soft sound, right before everyone's eyes, Nie Tian's palm print was pierced through by the battle spear.

Zhao Guozhong was momentarily stunned, looking very much like Ran Sinian had hit the nail on the head. He clenched his teeth tightly, seemingly locked in an internal psychological struggle.

Therefore, the instructors of the First Department and the Second Department actually held quite prestigious positions within the Hunter Training Camp.

Xiaoming gave her a somewhat amused look, took out a tissue, and wiped her face. Although Xiaoming had set out with the deliberate intention of abducting Ophis, at this very moment, he found this little girl simply too adorable, which only strengthened his resolve to bring her home and raise her.

During these past three days, the previously depleted primary dantian within Nie Tian was now surging with profound heavenly true Qi, pouring into his extraordinary meridians endlessly like the waters of a rolling river. One could tell at a single glance that Nie Tian had now completely recovered to his peak condition.

The Russian's voice inside had barely rung out before it was completely drowned out by a deafening explosion. Two massive fireballs surged upward within the room, and thick smoke instantly filled the entire space. Shrapnel from the electronic control equipment flew in all directions, and blue electrical sparks darted wildly like flashes of lightning.

Tinghua and Du Jun wanted to say something more, but the words ultimately remained unsaid. Indeed, the present situation was abundantly clear; without further clues, perhaps the entire matter would just end right here, because it seemed as though everything was progressing according to a logic that defied all reason.

"It must be one of my colleagues. They are jealous of me and gossip behind my back, just because I was recently exceptionally promoted and given a raise by the boss!" Lu Zhen said with bitter resentment, anger flashing in his eyes.

With his level of cultivation, Ma Liu naturally heard everything clearly. His cold, aloof face still remained entirely expressionless, as if the matter had nothing to do with him whatsoever. He raised the wine glass in his hand, took a light sip, and had no intention of making a move.

Shu Yao said, "There's no need. I took photos of the place at the time. I was also afraid that visiting the location too often would alert the enemy." As Shu Yao spoke, she brought up several photographs on her phone. The pictures were exceptionally clear, taken from every possible angle. Looking at these photos, Huang Jun felt an indescribable sensation.

"What do you think? If Dorgon doesn't have the opportunity to render military service, he won't have any prestige in the imperial court in the future. So how can he guarantee your happiness?" Yang Fei'er patiently reasoned.

Shangguan Lei also felt this made sense, so he and Dwarf Xu headed straight for Xuan城's largest gambling house. Although Nie Wuzheng had left them hanging and refused to let them see Jia Qianqian, he had not restricted their movements, allowing the two of them to move freely around the outer city.

"Most of the people delivering gifts have already been arranged by me to stay at the post house, and their leader is currently waiting in the main hall," Amin said.

"Since that is the case, let's make the arrangements as early as possible." Nodding, Nangong Luojing stepped forward.

Luffy was no Jiang Taigong; he did not believe in fish taking the bait of their own accord. If he wanted the fish to bite, he had to take the initiative himself. Blindly waiting passively in place would solve nothing at all.

Consequently, everyone's gaze fell upon Nangong Luojing. This time, she no longer felt unnatural or surprised. She already knew that Xiahou Yi intended to shift all the blame onto her. Because she was prepared, there was no room for any surprise.

Running in such a hurry earlier, she hadn't paid attention at all. It turned out that this grove was quite dense, and it was blooming with numerous nameless flowers that dotted the woodland, making it exceptionally picturesque.
