Chapter 29: Assault by the Hundred Officials

In just a few minutes during his morning wash, Zhao Su kicked Xiao Dengzi more than twenty times. The latter had no idea what he had done to offend the crown prince, wondering if it was really necessary to be beaten so early in the day.

After finishing his wash and seeing Xiao Dengzi’s bruised and swollen face, Zhao Su felt a twinge of pity. After all, this young eunuch was quite perceptive and loyal. He casually tossed him a jade pendant and said, “Don’t be upset. I’ll apologize to you, isn’t that enough…”

The man who claimed to be from the Hidden Leaf—the “Root” in the darkness—finally returned to his roots, dying on the path he had stubbornly pursued.

This was not Deng Huaiyuan being overly suspicious; the surrender of Song generals leading a massacre in the city was unprecedented in the Song-Yuan wars, so anything could happen next. If spies infiltrated the city and coordinated with Yuan soldiers, Zhangzhou would be as fragile as a paper fortress.

Li Lei stood in midair, shrouded in a thin mist, a vast and powerful aura emanating from his body.

Ye Tian felt that he and Shangguan Feiyan, at least, had shared a night as husband and wife. Their bond wasn’t deep, but there was a certain understanding and trust between them.

Not long after, they returned to Yunfeng County. Arriving home, they tidied up a bit before settling in, as they had been away for a while and dust had gathered in many places.

A pale red flame spilled from his palm, and under his exquisite control, slowly entered the alchemy cauldron, like a red thread gently poured in. Clearly, his mastery of fire was in no way inferior to Liu Xian’s, and his spiritual flame was just as impressive.

Actually, with the strength Li Lei and Di Long possessed, if they flew at full speed, they could escape the pursuit of the flesh-eating wasps.

The big black horse neighed twice and pushed forward, excitedly opening its mouth to bite the ground. The she-wolf’s fur bristled instantly, growling as she used her battered body to block the horse.

“What—what sort of sorcery did you use?” The Ice Crystal Unicorn refused to believe it and charged again.

When the two returned to Tia’s room, Tia looked at Xia with a stunned expression, as if she had seen something monstrous.

Others nodded in agreement, not planning to enter the chaotic arena, while a few remained silent, lost in their thoughts.

Thus, as they enjoyed themselves, urgent news from Fashigal arrived, and only then could everyone save their lives.

“I’m done playing; I need to log off now, something’s come up,” Xie Lang said with a forced laugh, explaining.

“No medication, professional technique, just a few minutes and you feel completely refreshed,” Li Wenliang said with a smile.

There were also ancestors like the founder of the Spirit Gate, who never stopped thinking about how to pass through the storm and forcibly pluck it, ending up half their bodies frozen and shattered.

Why did Ji Zhengmin leave his mother back then? A very important reason: politicians could not have three or four wives; this was absolutely clear.

After blocking the bodies of the three, Li Wenliang returned to the lobby and pulled a laser weapon from the wall.

Seeing her so tense, Quan Shaoting found her both funny and adorable. He beckoned for her to lie back, and Mu Nian’an tipped over, falling heavily into the man’s embrace.

Only after his parents left did Ye Chen slowly recall the events of the previous day, when the Tang family’s head, Tang Luoting, visited the Ye family. In front of Ye Chen, he told his father Ye Zongheng that he wished to cancel Ye Chen’s engagement to Tang Xiner, bluntly stating that Ye Chen was not worthy of the Tang family’s heiress.

Ten minutes later, the three burly men were stripped naked and tied to a utility pole, their knives, hundreds of yuan in cash, lighters, cigarettes, and even a packet of betel nut all taken by Xie Lang.
