Inside the car, Su Ziyan was startled. Seeing it was Ye Yuan, she breathed a sigh of relief, ignored him, and continued applying her makeup.
At this critical juncture, her call likely wasn't simple. The news of Li Xiaofei and Fang Yuantu’s arrest had probably already spread, leaving certain people trembling with fear. Very well, he thought to himself, since they have been playing a part with me, I shall perform a scene for them in return.
"At a time like this, why is he here?" Liang Bing tapped the edge of the tactical sand table in front of her, puzzled.
"I have heard that these lands belong to the Zhou family. May I ask, old man, how many acres does your family farm? And how much grain do you reap in the coming year?" Li Xiuning asked.
Immediately following this, murderous intent erupted in his eyes. He reached out and aimed for the Venerable One's throat.
But if it weren't for this, what other reason could there be? Given Fang Yuantu’s current status and position, he shouldn't have any conflict with the obscure Chen Xi.
Looking further down, Ye Yuan entered the Hermès boutique and, without blinking an eye, bought this year's limited edition collection.
Emperor Zhao remained silent, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes. What kind of joke was this? Of course, they weren't worried, because it was Congyang’s territory that was being breached. If there were the slightest error, Congyang’s city walls would fall, and by then, it would be too late.
The Zhou family was the closest to them, so they had naturally heard of them; their reputation was quite good, and they had often gone there to trade for goods in the past.
According to the original plot, killing him instantly was too simple for him. Facing trial and suffering the sanctions of the law was the fate he deserved.
Like the other competition students who had made it to the finals, they had a very clear memory of the problems they had just solved that morning, and it took about ten minutes to write down the entire process.
Li Wuyou quickly said, "Hey, no, no, I was just a bit surprised. Are you looking for me? Is there something you need?" He hadn't figured out what the other party wanted yet, so he decided to play dumb first.
Yang Bin, standing beside him, was full of admiration; if Zhou Feng hadn't been right there, he would have definitely exclaimed how awesome it was.
Sun Xuehai and Wang Qingtao did not disturb the siblings' conversation, only opening the conversation once they felt the time was right.

Man-made lightning is indeed a technology that is not difficult; it can be achieved by utilizing the appropriate natural environment.
He slowly raised his finger and traced a line in the air. Several silver needles flew out from his sleeves, plunging straight into his own acupuncture points.
She had not forgotten how Shen Qianran, while visiting her grandfather with Old Master Shen, took advantage of the servants' distraction to push her into the swimming pool out of jealousy for her beauty, nearly causing her to drown.
"Of course, besides me, there are three other great demons here. Any one of them could fight a high god. I’m not bragging—my fourth sister, the Ice Silkworm, has the lowest cultivation, but if she appeared in the Four Realms now, even the Heavenly Emperor would have to kowtow to her," Daji said with exaggeration.
Although there are regulations now, as long as you don't report it and do it behind closed doors, there won't be any problems.
If Chu Ming were Qin Aoxue, he likely wouldn't give up either, even if he truly had no chance left.
After hearing what his younger brother Wu Qi said, Wu Dong turned his cold, sharp gaze toward Chu Ming.
A massive explosion of spiritual power erupted, and waves of spiritual energy rippled outward with Chu Ming at the center.
"Yes, not only our Huaxia government, but also you ancient clans, as well as those Huaxia families that still exist on our land under the protection of your ancient clans." The number one leader clearly expressed his thoughts and his requirements to Zhang Tiance.
Yet the opponent seemed completely unaware, continuing to dig the hole—digging in fear. The surrounding demons couldn't bear to watch; their leader, Agent Number Three, was actually such a creature, refusing to make a sound even as Lord Hei trampled him, knowing only how to dig.
The golden-armored giant monster ran with the speed of lightning, covering a thousand meters in the blink of an eye.
The others behind also began to charge toward the fish. The giant eyeball behind Zhuo became more spirited due to hope. When they reached the fish, it blinked once, and the fish's body was completely locked. Immediately after, the other eight launched a relentless bombardment at the fish.
Liu Qingqing was moved; that Luo Hao would be willing to show her such a supreme and sacred treasure was a sign of immense trust.
Li Yan arrived at the hospital only a few minutes after them. Upon seeing He Guifang for the first time, he thought she and Wu Lili were sisters. Only after asking did he learn that she was the woman Wu Canghai had married in his second marriage and was Wu Lili’s stepmother.

"Exciting enough, isn't it?" Watching the researchers being escorted out, Bai Xue looked at Wang Dao and asked with a triumphant smile.
It wasn't until a dozen seconds later that the massive spatial rift slowly vanished, the sky returning to its original state as if nothing had ever happened.
This Qin Changkong’s divine sense was actually able to detect his super spaceship. Just moments ago, Jovis had clearly felt Qin Lang’s divine sense sweeping around the ship, finally fixing on it for several seconds as if in doubt, before withdrawing.
The only possibility was that Qin Changkong had seen through the flaws in his sword light and seized them, which was why he hadn't been hit by the full impact of the strike.
Chen Fang arrived at the beach. He knew he didn't have much time left in the Lost Continent, so he wanted to spend more time looking at this beautiful sky.
Chen Aili noticed the situation behind him and frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was.
This is why, after the end of the old era, the Green Gang quickly exited the stage of history, while the Hongmen remained, growing even stronger.
These human traffickers roamed all over the country, committing countless crimes, simultaneously kidnapping people and engaging in the despicable practice of maiming victims to exploit them for begging. They would turn healthy children into strangely deformed cripples and then sell them to begging syndicates across the country for prices ranging from twenty to fifty thousand.
Zheng Shuming actually wanted to cry for a while longer, as he had been holding it in for a long time, but he was sensitive and worried that Zhong Xiwang wouldn't like it if he cried too much, so he held it back, sobbing quietly on her shoulder.
Old Master Wen opened his eyes instantly and sat up, only to see a cold, aloof figure standing by the window.
