Chapter 116: A Mother-in-Law Looking at Her Son-in-Law

The torrential rain poured from afternoon until dusk.

The wind whipped through the ancient temple, the rain lashing against the towering tree draped in red prayer charms.

The Ye family watched all evening as Ye Fanzhi engaged in such childish folly, their expressions complex.

Ye's parents knew their daughter's stubborn nature well; once she set her mind on something, there was no changing it. She had been that way as a child, and as an adult, she was even more so when it came to matters of the heart. Though the elderly couple had never met Lin Ran, they knew their daughter loved him.

Only after a single word was spoken was the crisis averted. Yun Jing let out a sigh of relief, turning to leave the morning court, only to be summoned back by the Emperor’s eunuch.

Ye Lin looked up. The spider's body was completely twisted; apart from its head facing him, the human face on its upper torso had also flipped around.

Because its body was encased in a shell, it was completely obscured, looking like a shrimp that had transformed from a snail.

But they wanted to try their luck; if they could just defeat this strongest man, wouldn't they become the strongest themselves?

What was most terrifying was its ability to lock onto targets—meaning, running away if you couldn't win was impossible.

By dusk, more people had arrived after leaving their groups, and new recruits had joined the ranks from this county. In any case, it was a constant state of chaos.

"Speak. What do you want? Has Concubine Xia been burned?" Fang Ennuo sighed, lifting a cup of warm milk and speaking indifferently.

Fang Ennuo frowned. With the innate sensitivity of an animal, he subconsciously wanted to stay far away from this young marshal, whose presence radiated such heavy pressure.

"The light below is the sword-pellet technique of a sword cultivator. If I'm not mistaken, the light above is that fellow Mu Sheng's signature art, the Light of the Vertical Eye," the commander replied cautiously.

Running up close, he leaped off the wooden horse, and before Luochen and the others could ask him the reason, he shoved and pushed the group of them out.

Emperor Taizong ordered Lü Cai to teach the one hundred and twenty-eight musicians according to the diagrams, frequently practicing while wearing armor and holding halberds. This piece became the theme of the performance.

Once the giant wolf landed, Nangong Yulan couldn't wait to run over to it. She opened the mechanism with a jade ring, climbed inside, and the two of them played with the mechanical wolf together. They didn't climb out until they were fully satisfied.

On the mountaintop, Ye Jiuqing stood in silence, carefully investigating. I followed behind him without interrupting, watching as he stared intently at the opposite cliff face, his expression focused.

"It means you're amazing," Meng Xiao smiled. Although she intended it as a tease, her praise was genuine.

Zi Yuanyuan returned to his room and saw Murong Tianlan and the other two looking anxious outside the courtyard. He looked at Murong Tianlan's worried face, smiled with a sense of happiness, and stepped out of his room. Upon seeing him appear, the three of them gathered around.

"Uncle Seven, we previously speculated that this was originally a riverbed. Even if it was excavated to build a mausoleum, it’s impossible to distinguish between the soil dug out and the soil filled back in. A probe shovel is useless here," Ying Huiyuan said.

Someone had naturally been subdued, but the one restrained was certainly not Tang Yun. On the contrary, she was currently staring at Lei Yan before her with a beaming smile.

"The master is doing very well, no problems," a cold, masculine voice suddenly echoed from the courtyard.

It turned out the Lieutenant General’s surname was Ji. Zhuo Nan nodded with a smile, considering it a re-introduction, as no one had been introduced when they first arrived.

It was about the size of a basketball court, with many ores scattered messily inside. At a glance, Chen Fei realized they were all Sophie ore.

There were no fewer than a hundred heavy machine guns on the front line, which was more than enough to seal off every window and exit of the building. Under the blockade of the heavy machine guns, the Japanese soldiers couldn't even poke their heads out, let alone put up any resistance. The officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 571st Regiment charged into the building's entrance without encountering much opposition.
