Volume 1, Chapter 71: Cheng Qian's Husband is Li Zhinan?

Holding a glass of cocktail and just about to take a sip, Qiao Silin's eyes lit up when he heard about this condition.

After seeing off all the leaders of the major martial arts factions in Laizhou Prefecture, the Hua family patriarch walked into the family's council hall with a trace of fatigue.

Originally, they thought it was about her desire to get married, and since he was unwilling but didn't show it, he kept all his emotions bottled up inside until something went wrong. Later, they realized it wasn't that at all—it was a physical ailment.

To wield the power of this whip-hammer combination, one needed a pair of long, thick arms and fists the size of sand-scouring basins.

Galloping on horseback all the way, in about three quarters of an hour, Zhou Yan arrived at the courtyard in the northern part of Tai'an City.

Facing such a blunt and naked reply, the envoy of the Barnat family naturally returned happily to report on his mission.

After hanging up the phone, countless thoughts swirled in Fan Yan's mind, but he regained his composure after just a moment.

Du Ke lowered his hands, which had been shielding his head, and looked at the scene before him. He finally let out a long breath, followed by a lingering wave of fear and a sense of fortune.

That was not all; he was very diligent. Unlike Shen Fei and the Empress Dowager, who were raised in the lap of luxury, he practiced the sword every day just like Zhaoxi, and his physical stamina was definitely no less than hers. On top of that, he possessed venomous Gu worms.

The young lords and scions chatted and laughed heartily on horseback, while the young ladies of the two families squeezed into the same carriage, chattering away merrily.

Fan Yan maintained a low profile, sitting respectfully in his seat and smiling shyly as he faced a table full of heavyweights.

"What's wrong with her?" Even the usually oblivious Luo Qingqing noticed that Wang Wenjing was acting strangely.

"Whoosh!" The young man in dark robes waved his renowned sword, the Ink Rule, and the sweeping black sword Qi instantly dispersed the toxic mist.

Yingzi had never known any of these things before. Hearing Xiang Yue'e's words now, she stood completely frozen in place.

Filing a police report required an ID card. Lu Lu handed her ID card to Su Ya. Su Ya glanced at the photo and age on it, compared them, and confirmed that the person in the photo was indeed Ling Li, and that he was indeed twenty-five years old.

"Hmph, so what even if that's the case? Here, I, Khuala Tianmu, have the final say!" Khuala Tianmu said coldly.

He hadn't expected Cheng Youcai to return. He You's heart skipped a beat, and she abruptly darted back into the room. Once inside, her face instantly twisted into a grimace of agony.

San Sheng took a deep breath, trying his best to control his emotions, while his face brimmed with a mocking expression.

Waking up the next day, Su Lin could feel that his body had fully recovered. Although he harbored deep suspicions about Ren Zongdao's pill, it wasn't going to poison him to death. Returning to his room last night, Su Lin had taken the pill anyway, and to his surprise, the effects turned out to be quite good—far more effective than the pills from Senior Brother Wan and Liu Ru.

"Hum!!" A colossal sword projection flew past, fiercely hurtling toward Shenwu Lieyun, only to be instantly dissolved by a surge of silver Qi.

"Five taels of silver!" The four locksmiths rubbed their hands and rolled up their sleeves, eager to try. They wouldn't be able to save five taels of silver even if they didn't eat or drink for a whole year. With money to be made, let alone a haunted house, they wouldn't hesitate even if asked to dig up graves.

The attack power of the Steel Boar Boss was much lower than that of the Mushroom King; it just possessed a very high defense.

The matter thus came to an end, but no one knew how long this state of affairs could be maintained, nor did anyone know when another batch of such people would emerge, only to repeat the vicious cycle. Still, people in this era did all sorts of things to survive.

"There are gains and losses. If the lord had detained Yuan Yi just now, the subsequent plans would likely have had to be altered. Just imagine, Lord: Yuan Yi is Yuan Shao's older cousin; how could Yuan Shao turn a blind eye to his safety? If Yuan Yi were captured, I'm afraid the enemy camp would know no peace." After a moment of hesitation, Huang Zhong spoke up.
