Chapter 58: Framing

The moment Wen Zhi received Chen Su's phone call, she rushed to Night Whispers.

"What's wrong?"

She walked over and sat down beside Chen Su. "You look so listless. Did you have another fight with Qu Bainan?"

Chen Su was silent for two seconds before shaking her head. "I've broken things off with the Qu family."

...

"However, did he leave without saying anything because he knew this, or did he never intend for me to return to the Floating Abyss Hall with him at all?" Yin Ling muttered inwardly.

A gun barrel explosion is far more destructive than blowing up a hilltop. With a deafening roar that shook the heavens, the blast obliterated half the mountainside. Viewed from afar, a pillar of white smoke surged upward to the sky and downward to the earth, advancing with the fierce momentum of roaring ocean waves and the turbulent might of a raging torrent.

Waking up when the day was already bright, the sunlight outside the guest room was brilliant, tree leaves rustled in the rippling breeze, and spirits soared. Who knew what good fortune awaited today?

When they arrived at the border, the sight before them astonished them greatly. Troops were stationed everywhere along the frontier. Initially, they assumed these forces belonged to Sikong Yun's grand army, but upon closer inspection, they were surprised to find that everyone consisted of people familiar to Yin Ling.

Yin Ling's death had become a knot in his heart tied a hundred times over. He recalled the conversation before he became Xuanyuan Yu's disciple: "If life after life is destined to be a fated tragedy, if you cannot control your destiny and hers... it would be better never to have met."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but chuckle. As it turned out, this girl simply had a craving for fish and insisted on claiming that the adult loved cooking it.

Fu Yan knew that the sense of security Ningyu spoke of went beyond the company potentially changing hands. Even without a change in ownership, Angel Entertainment was clearly in the wrong this time, and her feeling uneasy was entirely understandable.

"Hi." Wearing only his military uniform without any weapons, Takagi Hirotomo walked out of the front courtyard's south gate and headed toward the north gate of the Fang family residence along the tall and thick perimeter wall.

If there was still plenty of time after lunch, simply strolling through a world-class Walmart supermarket before heading back to school for classes was also a rather pleasant choice.

By the time Chao Sijie finished getting ready, it was already past eight o'clock. The three of them hurriedly bought some food and took the bus into the downtown area, wandering around the shopping mall.

Huang Yan secretly rolled his eyes at Cao Cao. Ignoring the perplexed looks of the others, he turned and hurried toward the entrance of the barracks.

Earlier, when Wu Yue handcuffed him, she hadn't confiscated the digital video camera. This camera was crucial now, as it served as direct evidence.

Originally, Li Feng had thought that all the major families must have received the news and arrived here long ago. However, the people before him were merely members of two gangs, with no sign of the major families whatsoever. Where could they have gone? Forget it, no use pondering over them; why bother with what they were up to? I might as well just dig for my treasures.

Shao Hua wore an expression of utmost sincerity; anyone unaware of the truth would truly believe he was thanking Yuan Cheng.

However, just as they reached the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, battle cries suddenly erupted from outside the gates. Immediately afterward, the clashing of weapons rang out continuously, accompanied by endless screams of agony.

On this day, Fatty Jin finally sent someone to notify Jin Yun and the others that they could leave. Everyone appeared somewhat excited, as it meant they would be one step closer to the Vermilion Bird Kingdom.

Hearing Su You repeat it once more, the rest of them finally snapped out of it and let out a chorus of astonished gasps.

This situation was naturally within Li旭's expectations, but he didn't mind. Instead, he smiled faintly, flicked the middle finger of his right hand, and sent a ball of seven-colored light straight into Yan Danxuan's glabella. This was the incantation to refine the Dragon-Phoenix Imperial Spirit Staff, along with the techniques for the seventy-two forms of the Five Elements Staff Play.

He had merely been venting his anger for a moment and scolded Li Zhen a few times. Just because of that, he had somehow been labeled a traitor?
