Volume One, Chapter 90: Interrogation in the Sickroom

The sound of wheels rolling across the floor belonged to Lu Baiqian.

“Get up, the ground is cold,” he spoke in a low voice, handing over a dark blue handkerchief, carrying a familiar scent.

Wen Xuyu was stunned, not reaching out to take it, her mind drifting.

Armies from four directions were marching toward Cloud County, less than ten miles from Cloud City now. In the hall of the county governor’s residence, the atmosphere was heavy, tinged with a strange tension.

Strolling casually, Ba Liang Brother looked at Qin Fuyu, whose face was twisted and flushed with hatred, and chuckled softly.

“Old Liu, let’s go outside for a look.” The commander finally spoke, and we immediately followed him out. If he hadn’t led the way himself, the chill on our backs would have driven us to rush out much sooner.

Meanwhile, the patterns in the sky gradually faded away, and a series of shocked, trembling gazes turned directly toward Chen Fei.

Gradually, cultivators and humans discovered Dragon Tiger Immortal Island and established the ancient sect there.

Rage soared, its cry startling. The eunuch’s uniquely shrill voice echoed throughout the tent. At that moment, Zuo Feng’s neck veins bulged, his face contorted.

The gunshots startled Liu Yan, who had just picked up the weapon and dropped it in fright.

Before the monk could speak, Li Longji ordered his soldiers: “You must follow the master’s instructions. Dig the pit several more feet down. No matter what lies beneath, you must bring it up for me.”

“All right, I’ll keep an eye out.” He had always been active in the Tianlong Empire, yet had never visited the Phoenix Dance Empire or the Golden Lion Empire.

In the next moment, the Black Pearl remained what it was, but as it started up, it traversed time and space, entering the world of Pirate King.

Master Zou was utterly astonished. He had never expected Hua Qingtong to come looking for him. He had anticipated she might bear a grudge and seek revenge someday, but to arrive in the middle of the night, that was utterly unexpected.

Ji Manrou was so stunned by his rare forcefulness that her heart almost stopped. Her wide eyes, frozen in surprise, forgot to blink as she stared comically at the man’s broad forehead, so close before her.

Zhang Guozhi was weak and outnumbered, unable to resist the police. Like a trapped beast, he could only shout toward the bodyguards at the door.

These words left the emperor completely confused. Wasn’t “in the heart” and “on the heart” the same? Yet the empress meant that her whole heart belonged to the emperor.

Ying Kang, who had been somewhat tipsy, suddenly looked up at the Grand Master sitting above, seeing only calm on his face.

He had come today for this matter. When he first heard about it, he thought he must have misheard, and specially sent someone to investigate.

“Where have you been these past days? And where is this place? Did you bring me here?” Shi Tian blurted out all his questions at once.

Countless people adored Jiang Sheng, but he always remained reserved and taciturn, appearing distant and untouchable.

Having lost all dignity in front of his juniors, Su Zongping had no outlet for his anger. All the pride and fury of his life was vented on Chen Lixue.

From his actions, it was clear he wouldn’t abandon the original stone just because of danger; it wasn’t that he disliked it—he’d still take risks if given the chance.

Xiu Wan knew that Su Ruhui didn’t much care for rainy days. Lately, she had been complaining about how stifling the rain was, so Xiu Wan would occasionally stroll through the imperial gardens, deftly arranging a falling-horse bun for her, securing it slantwise with two magnolia hairpins.

After seizing the points from those five youths, Chu Feng and his companions shared only a few points each—not much of a gain. However, those youths carried treasures enough to tempt even those at the Celestial Martial Realm.
