Chapter 19: Saving a Life

Long Aotian walked to Su Tian’s side and whispered, "Boss, I just received word. The Qin family has gone to the hospital; they are planning to make a move against your mother."

Su Tian froze for only a second before immediately heading for the door. "I have something to take care of. I’m leaving first; you all stay here."

He didn't want the others to go because he didn't want them dragged into the muddy waters of the Qin family’s affairs.

...

I thought I was a unique existence in this world, but it turns out I might just be the worst transmigrator of all.

This gown perfectly accentuated the theme of its collection: "Secret Garden: The Sweetness of Flowers and Butterflies."

Lin Yi ignored Liyun. She paused for a long while, composed herself, and then lifted her head. She reached up to pull a hairpin from her hair—the very one she had just found in Liyun’s bundle—glanced at it, and tucked it into her sleeve. A flash of resolve crossed her face, and she walked out the door without a moment’s hesitation.

"How... is this possible?" The clan leader sat half-collapsed on the ground, looking down at his chest, where a thin line of red was snaking out, carrying with it the final, brilliant splendor of life.

"Young Master Lu, then that settles the contract." Xiao Rui held the power to decide everything for Gu Jinhuan.

After the first strike, the power of the Death Soul Spear remained undiminished. It lunged toward another early-stage avatar cultivator, surging forward like a hellish summons.

As the blinding light shot into the distance, visibility within the cave dwelling of the Cloud-Cold Mastiff returned to normal.

Bei Xi’s eyelashes fluttered, and her stiff hands, which had been hanging at her sides, slowly wrapped around Chu Hemeng’s back.

There was no helping it. Just as Cai Qingxia had said over the phone, this place was neither in an electronics industrial zone, nor in the city, nor in the county—it wasn't even in the town. It was right in the village, located in an inland area where transportation was far from convenient.

"Are you tired from all that hair styling, makeup, and putting on the gown?" He knew she usually disliked dressing up, let alone undergoing such a complex process.

At this moment, Xu Zhihao’s face had turned beet red. He never imagined that Lin Chen would actually say such things.

When the dragon carriage and phoenix palanquin reached the vermillion gates of the Prince Zhong Mansion, one could see the entrance was already bustling with crowds, carriages, and horses, as lively and noisy as the markets in the East and West districts during the day.

"Father!" At this moment, Shen Zhenzhu heard the voice and hurried over. She knelt to take Shen Yizhi’s hand and bowed, her joy and surprise plain for all to see.

Therefore, Ye Mu was quite familiar with gathering the Brahma Star Grass this time; she didn't feel the slightest bit of unease.

Linda picked up the creamer and sugar cubes. "Young Master Leng takes his coffee black, right?" She dropped the creamer and sugar into her own cup instead.

Petter repeated the words, and his previously dull, lifeless eyes suddenly sparked with light—a detail that Carice noticed with keen perception.

He had never been this cold before. Only then did he begin to realize the severity of the situation, and a trace of panic started to spread from the depths of his heart.

Yu Qingmo looked at Hong Shaohua. Had he figured something out, or had Yu Hongcheng said something to him when he visited the apartment?

As Mo Chenhai took his seat, the director entered as well. Once everyone had arrived, the commencement announcement officially began.

With the thick stack of cash, Bang Geng grew more excited the more he counted. Upon reaching the tenth bill, he started counting again from the beginning.

On both sides of the dimly lit street, the doors of the shops were half-open, and the passing pedestrians were all in a hurry, the atmosphere permeated with a sense of secrecy.

Even though she didn't know the specific details, Chang Qiuyue knew that the struggle between legitimate and illegitimate heirs was an eternal drama in wealthy, influential families.

Especially the scene where the Taoist priest set up an altar to exorcise ghosts, only to be killed by the ghost in the end—everyone else was screaming, but I was the only one laughing, drawing strange stares from the surrounding audience.
