Chapter 54: Exposure
No matter how cautious Mother Qu was, she never expected Qu Bainan to admit it himself at this moment.
Her face turned deathly pale. "She’s your sister!"
"She was," Qu Bainan’s voice was icy cold, "but if she’s being bullied and can’t stay in the Qu family, then she’s not."
...
Several marketing accounts immediately followed up—do their staff never rest? Chen Qing scoffed.
The sky gradually darkened. The torch was extinguished, and the path beneath grew increasingly indistinct under the moonlight.
At this moment, besides Ling Fanyue, many others were observing the appearance of the Sacred Beast Pill. Yet, among them, only Ling Fanyue’s eyes flashed with profound shock.
Mu Qing’s words were indeed correct. Li Fei calmed down, shot Mu Qing a cold glance, and strode out of the room.
Ling Fanyue walked ahead. Just as she passed through a narrow street, the other four with her were suddenly blocked outside.
The last sentence deeply stirred He Chengjin’s heart, making him wish he could kowtow a thousand times to Emperor Guangyuan.
Gui Jinghan took the order and vanished into the darkness, effortlessly vaulting over the several-meter-high wall with lightness skill, then flew toward the palace.
Beneath the tree stood a youth wearing a uniform of the same color scheme as hers. Tall and strikingly handsome, his features were relaxed, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, giving him a careless air.
No one knew better than him how deeply he loved Xu Yuqin—so deeply that he was willing to sacrifice himself.
Chen Qing returned to her room. In the darkness, she stared at the ceiling, beginning to question whether she was truly in the wrong.
Suddenly flooded with so many people in their world of two, Ye Ningyuan and Xu Nuo adapted well. They spent the entire afternoon helping to tidy the rooms. Ye Ningyuan even ordered several sets of bedding and daily necessities, busy until dusk before everything was in order.
This street was quite secluded and sparsely populated. Occasionally, a few passersby would cover their mouths to laugh at him. The street lamps were dim, the scenery hazy. After walking more than a hundred meters, it grew even quieter, with fewer people around.
"Precisely because it’s dangerous, I want to follow you. Young Master Ye, why do you dislike me so much? Do you refuse my help even when I want to assist you?" Qin Fang said, feeling wronged.
After Lin Fan and the others returned from a crushing defeat, their morale was not too low. Although the Demon Emperor occupied the city, he gained no advantage. Instead, they had benefited greatly, having slain many demonized bosses. The demonic energy would not recover in the short term.
Only the local English teacher, a young instructor recently assigned to the school, stood against popular opinion, arguing that Young Master Ye had just accidentally stumbled in and it was not intentional. Moreover, under those circumstances, it was impossible to have seen Han Xue.
“Move!” Lin Fan gazed at the now peaceful Xuanlong City and let out a low shout. His body soared into the sky, breaking through the monsters’ blockade in an instant, charging straight toward the city walls.
Although Huo Ren opposed war, he knew Uncle Gui truly cared for him and thus suggested going with him.
Upon arriving at their command center, the commander and all federation presidents warmly welcomed Lei Zhan. In battle, it was kill or be killed, but now that they were seated together, basic courtesy was expected. Although many wished to kill Lei Zhan, they all hoped to end the war.
Meanwhile, all the jade-colored sword lights fiercely struck at the elder... Boom! Boom! Boom! The muffled sounds rang out continuously, and the color of the protective shield changed rapidly.
“This isn’t fun. I thought you were just an ordinary citizen. Turns out you’re an informant for the Narcotics Bureau. So, does that mean you often come into contact with drug dealers?” Qin Fang shook her head, somewhat disappointed, then asked again.
