Volume 1, Chapter 47: The Extreme Approach

Xu Zhengnan stood like a cold, detached spectator, watching Shen Yixiao's affectionate display without a single ripple of emotion.

"The development of steamships is ultimately to enable vessels to travel further and reduce hazards," Yuan Shan said.

Thus, early in the morning, a memorial was submitted into the hands of Li Shimin, and the person who penned it was none other than Yu Zhining.

"That child must be Li Shuwan. How truly pitiful," Qin Tian muttered. He had witnessed the scene of the Green-Robed Palace Mistress's death on the Cliff of Heartbreak, and piecing it together with what the sect leader had told him, it only took him a moment of thought to understand the whole situation.

"Senior Brother, do you need my help?" Lan Xin's long azure dress fluttered in the wind as she channeled her inner Qi.

However, WeChat messages should be excluded. The chat logs on WeChat were likely already retrieved by the police, leaving the Moments feed as the only possible overlooked area. Yet, logging into WeChat required a verification code sent to the original phone, and Su Sheng's phone was currently in police custody. With time pressing, there was no opportunity to apply for access to evidence.

"If you had asked Mr. Qin to accompany you, he could at least have put in a word with the hospital. Why subject yourself to such a long queue?" Auntie Su, who was waiting outside with her, frowned as she looked at the massive crowd ahead. They had been standing in line since they arrived.

Even though Zhang Haoran was still capable of launching numerous arrow attacks, for Qin Chen, this was precisely the optimal moment to strike. Although he might sustain some injuries, waiting for Zhang Haoran's primordial energy to be completely exhausted was no longer a viable option.

Without returning, Zhou Xu simply relaxed his fingers, letting the gifts drop straight to the ground before slowly walking away.

At the very least, this proved there was a clandestine collusion between Ye Qingyu and Yan Li, and Ye Qingyu's purpose in returning to Lian Shaokang's side was far from pure.

Failing to recruit troops in Nanning, Lin Xiao instructed Ding Shuai to enlist men locally. Fortunately, there were plenty of refugees in Qinzhou and Fangchenggang. In the end, over six thousand men were selected and recruited to form a new regiment, which immediately began training.

"Go to hell," the fat man muttered, moving almost imperceptibly behind Ren Chongyun, and swung a heavy hammer directly at his lower back.

At this thought, Tang Feng looked at the magical beasts before him who were gazing at him, waiting for his command. He waved his hand to dismiss them, realizing that whatever he needed to do now, he would hardly have any use for these beasts, so he simply sent them all away.

After the old man and the youth went outside and recounted what had happened to the leader—adding that Ligdan Khan's guards would be driven out and forced to return within three days—everyone half-believed they had been scammed. Following a discussion, they decided to wait here for three days to see what would happen. Yet, before even three days had passed, upon hearing the sudden, devastating news, they scattered like birds and beasts.

As for the High Priest's lackeys, ordinary villagers swarmed them all at once and beat them to death with clubs.

"Realm... Realm Master, this junior was merely..." Ling Tianyu stammered in panic. Before he could finish speaking, he felt a terrifying, invisible force violently push him backward.

Long'an spat out several mouthfuls of blood in succession, his face turning pale. A gaping hole was torn across the chest of his mecha, and both of his arms trembled uncontrollably.

Upon hearing the word play, Andy immediately appeared right before the Frost Tiger with a speed that easily covered fifteen meters per second—a velocity that ordinary people today could perhaps also achieve.

"Tongguan?" Jia Xu's intention was clearly to have Gao Shun garrison Tongguan, and upon hearing this, Dong Zhuo immediately fell into deep contemplation.

Chen Hai was the hope of several generations of the Chen family. If he failed the imperial examinations, the pressure on Chen Tao and Chen Bo would only increase, and it would also disappoint Lady Lin. The hopes she pinned on this son were suppressed deep within her heart.
