Chapter 48: Giving Brother Zhao Some Perks First

Zhao Chen had long known that this fellow was unreliable. A cold sneer curved the corner of his mouth as he said, "I was just joking with you. Knowing your limited ability, I wouldn't really make things difficult for you if something like this actually happened."

This scoundrel called him brother at every turn, yet when trouble truly arose, he might not necessarily be willing to help. At the end of the day, it all boiled down to the two words: interest.

Fortunately, Zhao Chen was not stupid; he had never truly regarded Chang Hao as a brother. Everything was just playing a role for the occasion, each taking what they needed.

Over the next two days, Zhao Chen no longer put genuine effort into helping Chang Hao select jadeite materials, instead finding only some mediocre items worth a million or eight hundred thousand for him, while secretly giving the three best and most expensive pieces to Tang Yan.

Even if Chang Hao knew there was something fishy going on, he had the good grace not to spell it out...

Kun He had recovered quite a bit thanks to the two celestial elixirs brought out by Hua Sheng. Ultimately, when he asked Hua Sheng if there was anything he needed help with, Hua Sheng simply opened the Starry Palace for Kun He to see. Apart from the blind man who had integrated with the physical body of the Luming Lion, there was nothing that caught Kun He's eye, so he took the initiative to offer help in raising the blind man's cultivation realm.

So what if she obtained the power of the Heavenly Dao? Today, I shall borrow the might of the Heavenly Dao to eliminate her.

What is she trying to do? Does she think the entire East China Sea is made of clay? Do the various demon clans still remain as weak and submissive as they were before?

"Yes, Master. The two of us will naturally find an opportunity in the future to properly discuss the scriptures of disciple-rearing with Master Xiao!" Xuan Ku and Xuan Nan pressed their palms together and agreed with a nod.

At the command of the two commanders, squads of a hundred men each broke away from the battlefield and chased hotly after Qin Ge.

Roar, roar~! The remaining fierce beasts looked numbly at Qin Ge's towering figure, and a strong sense of powerlessness washed over their hearts.

The Eighth Prince was so vicious and would stop at nothing to kill Ling Tian, which had already aroused infinite killing intent in Ling Tian.

First Madam knew that using the money she brought to buy grain was something the Emperor would not blame her for, which was why she dared to act. Having lived two lives, she had told herself to live well, and naturally, she would not let herself march to her death.

Yan Shiyi frowned, but he did not refute. This time, he had finally experienced firsthand what it felt like for the Heavenly Secrets Sect to be discriminated against by other sects.

"To add to the joyous occasion? Ha! Since it's to add to the joyous occasion, why not promote all the imperial concubines in the palace? Would the sisters be convinced by such a reason?" Li Que laughed, not believing it in the least.

Fu Jingcheng had always assumed that Jiang Rui was merely making a fuss. Talking about having a baby, getting a divorce, and all that was just meant to catch his attention. But this time, it seemed different; she had played her trump card.

Seeing how adorable it looked, Xia Mian liked it a lot. Therefore, after the anger in her heart had completely dissipated, she readily agreed to bring it into her space.

Listening to the gossip of the surrounding neighbors, Su Tinglan's expression remained completely calm, entirely unaffected by them.

"Crown Prince, we must make a choice now. Back then, when I didn't have the colored glass orb, you were still the Crown Prince. But look at how many troubles have arisen because of the glass now?"

Before even stepping through the door, Fan Xian was enveloped by a lingering, fragrant breeze. That fragrance was vastly different from the quiet serenity of Chang'an City—so rich, so heavy, and so weighted that it seemed capable of wrapping people within it and plunging them into a deep abyss.

This contingent of people was precisely the group comprising Shi Gao and Liu Bingyi rushing toward Chang'an City. At this moment, they were less than ten miles away from Chang'an, and with the pedestrians on the road becoming increasingly numerous, everyone gradually slowed their pace.

The bullet screens, the comment section, and the devoted followers vanished completely, while Xiao He's supporters all began to resort to sarcastic remarks.

Xu Qing sighed. Although he harbored the same doubts in his heart, he still chose to trust others rather than blindly guessing and questioning.

Although they had no idea what kind of evidence they were looking for, they were quite familiar with the surrounding terrain.

Those eyes were extraordinary—rubies? Fresh blood? No! None of these were sufficient in Rodney's mind to describe the characteristics of those eyes.

At this time, the pedestrians on the road were as dense as a weaving shuttle, mostly beggars possessing martial arts skills, predominantly disciples of the Beggar Sect.

Li Shimin within the imperial palace of Chang'an City suddenly felt inexplicably restless. He always had a feeling that something was going to happen—something closely related to him, and perhaps... even connected to his very life, yet he could never figure out what could possibly occur.

It was said that in the past, this Reincarnation Pool had been used several times by various Popes of the Holy See to create what their sect called guardian angels. However, due to the dissipation and exhaustion of spiritual energy in modern times, the Holy See had not performed such a ritual for several centuries.

All the space aliens attempting to attack froze instantly in place, terrified as if they had seen a hellish demon god descend into the mortal world. They did not dare to move even an inch, completely paralyzed and frightened right where they stood.

The siblings happily clutched their stomachs as they went out to work. After they all left, Ning Xiguang took out the black fungus and other items again to dry them in the sun.

Just as the Wood-Wolf of the Constellation said, being able to cultivate into great demons meant they all had their own backgrounds and foundations, and there was no need to risk their lives for a few flat peaches.

It was a very simple logic: who could tell whether a newly born infant would grow up to be an official or a thief, or whether he would become a doctor saving the world or a bandit committing murder and arson?

The afterglow of the setting sun shone across the vast Chiba Park. It was quite late, so the people still lingering and playing in the park were very few.

Wang Yiyuan stood there blankly, letting her thoughts wander until Wu Xinghui waved his hand in front of her eyes, finally making her snap back to reality and realize she had lost her composure.

"For a tool that is useless, either cold-storage or discard it." If it were a person, of course, it would be eliminated.

Whether it was insiders in the Indian automotive industry or discerning government officials, all were already astounded by this move made by Great Land.

Upon returning to his cave dwelling, he hosted a banquet again with the two brothers, accompanied by Red Boy and the various leaders of Flowers and Fruit Mountain, eating merrily until the midnight hour before the banquet dispersed.

Buer was completely confused: What grudge did I have with this guy? Only Tengfeng himself knew that Shizhi had previously defeated Buer's own fifth-form counterattack, and facing the Mysterious Turtle Circular Defense—which possessed the power of the original work's sixth-form counterattack—he was bound to lose. In some mysterious way, this was avenging himself.

The man in black walked slowly toward her, stopping only when he was a mere half-step away from her.

"When I find it, I will naturally tell you." Zi Yin's words were earnest, and there were no excessive ripples on his face.

His advantage, aside from the "one-ball-soul" heavy cannon serve, was his extraordinary split-second reaction ability, and this capability of his had clearly been enhanced during the training camp. Tengfeng's "Carrying and Blocking Hammer" had conjured up twice the power of a heavy cannon serve out of thin air, yet Feng had still managed to receive it.

It was also thanks to the lightning-fast reaction of the Tang Dynasty soldiers and generals, coupled with the Heavenly Court lacking its two scouts—Clairvoyant and All-Hearing. Even though they had reached the South Heavenly Gate, the Hall of Miraculous Mist was still busy discussing Li Chunfeng's sound-transmission across the three realms regarding Xuanzang.

He looked around; indeed, there was no one present who could take charge. After all, although Jiang Wu was an idiot, his status was there nonetheless. A scion of the Jiang family was not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry who could act as his referee.
