Chapter 27: Hidden Barbs in Conversation

As they watched the Marquis’s entourage depart, the Hua family remained immersed in the sorrow and reluctance of parting with Fifth Daughter Hua. However, Madam Zhong suddenly broke the silence with a sharp challenge.

"Brother Bin, if you were so unwilling for Fifth Daughter to become a concubine at the Marquis’s estate, you should have told us earlier. Do you really think we would have forced you?"

"Your Ninth Daughter is truly something. Even my husband and I wouldn't dare treat the Marquis’s steward and nanny with anything but the utmost respect, yet she had the audacity to run out and spout nonsense, directly offending Steward Kong and Nanny Shen..."

"No problem at all. I added a small amount of analgesic agent during the crafting process," Lloyd explained, resolving Landerson's doubt.

If the strange stone was gestating within the body of Wuzhiqi... damn, could the Flag of the Northern Water God actually be the final form of that stone?

However, this surge of excitement lasted only a brief moment. Once he regained his composure, the angry and restless heart of the Silver Fox instantly cooled.

Chen Fugui had not expected an uninvited guest to appear at such a moment, let alone one of such advanced age.

Just as he was catching his breath, the pile of magical beast carcasses beside him was violently shoved aside. Another mutated wolf-type beast lunged out, pouncing straight at his back.

Upon entering the door, Yang Yixian stretched lazily, loosening his joints until they popped with a sound like crackling beans.

In just a few seconds, the Tyrannosaurus Rex charged to the fourth barricade, thrusting its massive head forward. Disgusting saliva dripped from its blood-stained, razor-toothed jaws.

What Bai Xue did not see was that the moment he spoke, a look of terror suddenly flashed in the eyes of the red-faced man. Why would such an iron-willed man be struck with such intense fear by a single sentence?

Lier was furious. The shadows beneath his feet, which had just returned to calm, began to dance again, immediately alerting the surrounding guards and generals. As for Xiao Yi, who stood at the very front, he had already drawn his signature magical crossbow, ready to engage at any moment.

"After talking for so long, do you even know what this so-called 'supreme treasure' actually is?" Lin Rong asked, unable to suppress his curiosity.

The first rays of morning sunlight shone through the window onto my face. As usual, I got up, ate, took the children to school, and returned home to check every room one last time before calmly dialing the police.

Since the other party had already spoken, he had no choice but to cup his hands in farewell. However, in Tian Jihong’s estimation, the journey back would likely not be as easy as this parting. Besides guarding against attacks from spirit beasts, he also had to remain vigilant as to whether this Mo family group had any other designs on him.

Did this not mean that if Mu Qingyun also became a piece on the "Dao Heart Chessboard," she would already know that he, the "First Direct Disciple of Master Chaoyin," possessed extraordinary status—essentially acting as the current representative of Master Chaoyin?

Yet Yaoliu... did not think so. He had never held a good impression of humans; they were treacherous, cunning, and manipulative. To this day, he had never met a single human he felt worthy of approval.

Another thunderclap shook the air, and the house on the right suddenly collapsed without warning.

Faint green specks of light were scattered across the stone walls on either side, and she was the only moon in this darkness.

After estimating the distance between the two points and concluding it wasn't particularly far, there was no need to send soldiers to deliver the message.

Listening to Aunt Li’s words, Gu Yan couldn't help but wonder: could Aunt Li be the number one fan of her and Huo Junlin’s pairing?

Looking in the direction of the voice, it was clearly a middle-aged man sitting at the table below the host’s seat.

"Yes, sir!" the new recruits shouted in unison once more. This time, it was significantly better, lacking the listlessness of before.
