Volume 1, Chapter 62: Who Looks at Their Sister with Such Affectionate Eyes

Ji Yichen looked at her with heartache and said, "Xiao Qian, I'm sorry, I've done my best. I know your relationship with him, but neither my father nor the board members knew about it. There was nothing I could do to stop this."

Cheng Qian quickly adjusted her emotions. So that was why Ji Yichen and Uncle Ji had been arguing outside just now.

"Brother Yichen, thank you for looking out for me. I'm fine," Cheng Qian forced out a smile.

Ji Yichen immediately lowered his voice and said, "How about you talk to my father about your relationship with him..."

"No need!" Cheng Qian shook her head. "I don't want to cause Uncle Ji worry, nor do I want to put him in a difficult position. I just need to do my own job well."

In the Ridge of Chaos, the peaks of Qichuan rolled on endlessly, and perilous cliffs scattered haphazardly. Countless sheer precipices and deep abysses stretched as far as the eye could see. If one ignored the rampant ferocious beasts and looked solely at these strange and marvelous peaks, they were indeed masterpieces of nature's uncanny craftsmanship.

Until the very end, I still could not defeat him. Even after I broke through to the eighth revolution of Samsara, and even though my soul realm had reached the supreme peak of the selflessness and oblivion of the gods, I was still utterly unable to shake an Emperor-tier powerhouse, nor the ancient Heavenly Demon guqin held in his arms.

Li Yingfang looked in the direction of the voice and saw Chen Feng wearing a roadside-stall T-shirt, paired with substandard cargo shorts and a pair of large, worn-out sneakers. She couldn't help but sigh heavily in her heart.

"The hearts of the common people are as clear as a mirror; what need is there for me to say more?" Uncle Zhao asked coldly, casting a sidelong glance at Marquis Qin.

Ye Shixuan was right; she and he had never been in a formal relationship. There had been none in the past, and there was none now.

Lin Ruoyu shot me two glances, walked back to the car with a helpless expression, started the engine, and sped away.

Overjoyed, I raised my spear and charged forward. Dragon Flame Slash, Armor-Breaking Sword, and Whirlwind Slash were executed in rapid succession. Working together with Lin Ruoxi, we launched a fierce onslaught. A string of damage numbers flickered, and in a very short time, a noticeable chunk of the boss's HP bar vanished, visible to the naked eye.

Consort Xian patted my hand affectionately, beamed with joy, and left with Prince Qi. Qi Ming immediately ordered the maidservants to move all those gifts into my room. I looked at him in utter bewilderment. What was wrong? Did the gifts hold a grudge against him too?

Suddenly, Jiu Xuan noticed a faint trace of indulgence flash in his gaze. Yet he could be certain that it wasn't directed at him, but rather because he had recalled something else.

Dongge Miaoyi lay in bed behind the lowered curtains. Gao Zhu had already finished taking her pulse and quietly instructed Yingge to invite the Ninth Prince back before beginning to write out the prescription.

Knowing what Ye Chen's words implied, True Person Hengyue and the others all smiled awkwardly. Even a fierce individual like Ye Chen dared not guarantee absolute safety, let alone people of their caliber in the Heaven and Imperial realms.

Moreover, there must be more than just one secret passage in this Prince of Ruyang's estate. With so many secret passages available, why on earth would the Prince of Ruyang insist on using this particular one?

Just as Saint Petersburg was proclaiming the great victory of the Battle of Ruse, their arch-rival on the other side, Istanbul, was boasting that the brave Turkish army had successfully routed the Russian forces that had violated their sacred territory, forcing the enemy to abandon and destroy the Ruse fortress.

"To have my master kneel before you? You're not worthy!" Ye Chen snorted coldly, raised his foot, and kicked Hua Yun off the battle stage.

After pondering over it for a long time, I concluded that the most likely possibility was that the Vietnamese had said something to the old aborigine, causing him to make up his mind to keep me here so I could contribute my strength to his tribe.

She would absolutely not allow any news to leak out, nor would she ever let Murong Qi find out about the situation here.

Guan Jilin handed his samurai command saber to Lei Datou. Carrying the three blades, Lei Datou walked over to Wu Angan and Ren Sihua, handing each of them a Swiss Army knife.

Li Jigang was his sworn brother, and Guan Jilin had to save him. However, he had never expected matters to degenerate to such a cowardly and humiliating state.

Thinking of this, Mayor Jiang turned as pale as a sheet. Originally, he hadn't wanted to offend Huang Guangming, but as a result, he had ended up offending Zhao Tiezhu, thereby indirectly offending the provincial governor. This would be an unimaginably heavy blow to his political career.

"I'll go test Jiang Yan later as a token of sincerity from the Celestial Fox clan, and then use the opportunity to find the Eldest Princess's weakness," Gu Hanyan said softly.

The director's team was breaking out in cold sweat at that moment, terrified that Bai Qingyan might fly into a rage right in front of the livestream cameras and curse them out for being negligent.

"Junior Brother, let's go check out that place first." Guided by experience, Luoxi glanced toward a patch of woods, pointed it out to Xinuo, and the two of them set off together toward their destination.

Having experienced the despair of losing a child, Wanqi Qianyi now held the baby in her arms with nervous tightness, feeling the reality of the child truly being in her embrace. Yet it still felt so surreal, almost like a dream.

From mocking a midday food delivery meal that looked like yesterday's leftovers, she scrolled down to trending searches about a fan-favorite idol caught in a hidden marriage and cheating scandal: This guy is so "Zhou Yangjing."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan felt a spontaneous stir of emotion in his heart. Paying it no further mind, he proceeded to inspect Pei Qiuning's storage bag.

An empress as astute as her would surely comprehend the emperor's stance the very moment she learned of today's events.

Just as Chen曼 (Chen Man) was about to say something more, she felt her phone vibrate and glanced at Qin Yuheng.

Seeing Gu Qing and Chen Man, Ning Zhen was also momentarily stunned. Had she not heard Wang Xiaoxue say that her boyfriend had invited these people over to hang out—and that Mr. Shen of Dingyu Technology was among them—she would never have come. But why were the two of them here as well?

As for Zhou Yangjing, whether he gave someone face depended entirely on his mood, or on whether flattery was applied to the right spot.

Before coming here, he had heard the leader of the Ghost King Sect say that Jiang Haoran's cultivation was merely at the Xiantian Great Circle, at most early Divine Ability realm. With this understanding, Baimei felt completely at ease. To him, a super expert at the Golden Core stage dealing with a Xiantian Great Circle martial artist was as easy as picking up something from the ground, which was why he had been so arrogant.

After breaking up with Feng Yi, Ju Zhi returned home, turned on his computer, logged into a specialized underground hacker website, and left his own mark there.

After all, these people were a faction that had evolved from a band of interstellar nomads. Decades had passed, and they had developed into three major nations. If given another few decades, they might even be unified by someone and then expand outward into the starry skies.

The Battle of Yichuan, coupled with that arrow shot from behind by Ma Zi, had truly drained An Lushan of his courage. Without pausing to rest even once, he fled all the way from Guo Commandery to Lingbao, crossed the Yellow River from the Lingbao ferry crossing, and escaped all the way into Hedong territory.

Chu Tiance furrowed his brows slightly, slowly circulating his true qi as he quietly pushed the Dark Sword King bloodline to its absolute limit.

Instead of following closely or stepping forward, Yanyue stood frozen in place and suddenly grabbed Qian Xiao.

The scene unfolding before their eyes left the Yan army dumbfounded. Never in their wildest dreams had they expected that the man before them was actually the commander-in-chief of the Tang forces, Prince Jing Li Mao, and that their own supremely honorable Grand Chancellor of Yan had surrendered just like that.

Mo Chen lay quietly beneath the banana tree, his entire body enveloped by dense, milky-white mists.

For Elder Xuyang to cultivate to the Golden Core Great Circle in such an environment could already be considered a stroke of exceptional natural talent, but breaking through once again would likely prove extremely difficult.
