Chapter 137: A Chance Encounter with the Man Who Humiliated Arlin

Having already received instructions from Brother Hui, Little Chick saw Jiang Fan still addressing him as brother and made no move to borrow money, but instead smiled and teased him, "If you keep calling me brother, how could I possibly have the nerve to take this money?"

Several gamblers standing next to Jiang Fan saw that this was his first time here, yet he tipped ten thousand right off the bat. Unsure of who he was, but figuring that anyone buddying up to Brother Hui must have an extraordinary background, they thought to themselves, "Why didn't any of that come my way?"

Two girls who had come alone gathered around him, cozying up with practiced flattery, "Boss: You're so lucky, congratulations!"

Nearby, a man wearing slippers and a loose t-shirt...

Li Xiehua frowned, feeling that Su Ke was still being too optimistic. Yet, that was only to be expected; given that she had just graduated from college, managing to reach her current position was already quite remarkable.

At this, sure enough, three or five students let out a chorus of groans. Although skipping breakfast had already become a habit, the thought of having to wait such a long time before getting lunch, coupled with the fact that Su Ke would likely keep them past the bell, left their stomachs in knots. Had they known, they would have eaten a couple of steamed buns beforehand to tide themselves over.

Luo Cuilan naturally recognized the voices as belonging to Zhang Xuehua and Zhang Jianguo. The sounds the two of them were making made it instantly obvious what they were doing. Without a moment's hesitation, Luo Cuilan exerted all her might, kicked the door open with a single blow, and naturally caught them in bed.

Once Yaoyao had coaxed the child to sleep, she pulled me into the room, first cleaning the wound on my arm with alcohol, and then bandaging it up with gauze.

After Xixi and I reached the upper level, we immediately sought out Chen Pi and the others, having them join us in our search for the killer.

"Yes, the guards said that after seeing them leave, they never returned, and all their belongings were taken with them," the guard replied.

Yet at this very moment, the fire monsters were horrified to discover that the air-elemental spirits, which had always obediently obeyed them, suddenly refused to accept their control. Deprived of the support of the air elements, the fire monsters that had once lorded it over others plummeted instantly, crashing heavily to the ground.

Although Luo Jian was known as the premier swordsman of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, his strength was roughly on par with Liang Hui's, and shaking off Liang Hui was definitely not something he could accomplish in a short time.

Bai Suyi wanted to resist, but touching the wound on the man's chest, she no longer dared to exert any force with her hands. Yet, the bright red blood continued to seep endlessly through the gauze, instantly staining the white bandage entirely crimson.

Sure enough, after enduring Ouyang Zhe's two successive attacks, the Undying Bell shattered with a resounding crash.

Listening to Batu's words, Wunqi looked both excited and lost. He gazed up at the ceiling of the secret chamber, sighed, and closed his eyes in silence.

Viewed in this light, Prince Yuheng had died an utterly unjust death. Implicated by him, Wunqi was also plagued by the worst of luck. He had already reached the threshold of his own home, on the verge of returning in glory like the legendary toad, only to suffer an undeserved disaster, mistaken by his family's enemies for their precious darling and plunged into a perilous situation fraught with danger.

"Yes, sir." Mo Yi left in the company of the Reclusive Scholar, while the young man on the other side also followed them out. After seeing them all the way to the entrance and closing the courtyard gate, he hurried back to Hou Tianyu.

Liu Bei told Chen Deng, "You don't need to go look for Gongsun Zan; right now he and Yuan Shao are locked in a fierce struggle. Let me go and help you guys out instead."

With this move, Kong directly seized the dragon's aggro, making his six sword images automatically attack the Yaolong's forelegs, while he himself rushed to the Yaolong's belly, casually slashing at its skin.

Luo Cheng raised his head to look—what a formidable foreign general! He wore a bronze lion helmet, a red-copper-plated armor, and an oversized scarlet cloak. With his azure eyebrows, purple face, leopard-like eyes, and yellow whiskers, he rode into the fray atop a blue-haired beast, brandishing his saber.

Kong's gaze grew resolute, and his entire body slightly arched, just like a leopard crouching and ready to pounce.

"Good then." Su Ji nodded slightly, then turned and left straightaway. Emerging from the rift valley, Su Ji directly executed a sword flight back to Yili City.
