Chapter 64: Men Die for Wealth

Lin Motang said in a voice neither high nor low, "Officer Li seems to know very well what kind of orchids are in my sister's room."

This veiled remark made Officer Li's eyes narrow. "It's not that I know, but that someone knows. Eldest Master Lin, please just cooperate."

Thinking of the Lin family's wealth and power, Officer Li still left some room for maneuver.

"Officer Li, feel free to search. Just make sure that if nothing is found, you give an explanation to both the Lin and Meng families. Surely..."

"It doesn't matter, I will call him. It was my abruptness." Liang Jiaxi smiled, took out his phone, and dialed.

Lin Hanxi feigned ignorance, lying on the soft couch and pretending to slumber. Her clothes were loose and unbuttoned, yet they did not look messy at all.

Amidst the chaotic darkness, a glowing speck of light suddenly appeared directly to my front left. A wave of joy surged in my heart, and I lifted my feet, walking briskly toward the light.

The Imperial Garden at night was brightly lit. Different from its daytime beauty, all the flowers and trees in the garden were shrouded in a dim, yellowish halo, making them look somewhat distinct from their true colors.

"Alright, then it's a deal." With that, Leng Wuchen kissed Lin Hanxi's cheek. That familiar fragrance washed over him, bringing a momentary peace to his heart.

After listening, Xu Feng and Xu Shilai turned their gazes directly toward Xu Yuan, their eyes filled with a plea for an explanation.

"Master, the Empress Dowager requests your presence!" Cuimei pushed the door open and walked in. When she saw the Compendium of Materia Medica in Mu Ximei's hands, a flicker of light crossed her eyes.

"The sun is a bit fierce today. Bizhu? Bizhu?" Lin Hanxi closed her eyes, intending to ask Bizhu to bring a gauze curtain to block the light, but she called out for a long time with no response.

Asking for my opinion didn't seem quite right. For one, I was the weakest here and couldn't discern the disparity in their power at all. For another, Vivian wasn't truly my subordinate; she was entitled to her own choices, and this duel didn't strictly require my consent.

"Ever since the 'Heaven-Veiling Emperor' and 'Sophina' broke through the boundaries and ascended, the development of the Black Profound Sect and the Mirage City has headed in two completely different directions. Before her ascension, Sophina left behind numerous treasures, secret caches, and the Ocean God's orthodoxy, which day by day grew the power of Mirage City."

"I don't want this thing on my forehead either, it's just..." Chen Yingxu said, raising his right hand to rub his forehead.

Now the Divine Doctor Lu was left with only two paths: one was a dead end, and the other was to go back on his word. If he could cure this poison, then regardless of who administered it, the fact that he deliberately claimed he couldn't cure it would at least expose his lack of medical ethics.

Master sighed and said, "I will not force you. I am merely warning you that if you lose your virginity, your magical powers will be greatly weakened. Do you know why we, members of the Opening Heaven Sect, possess such formidable magic and can live for several centuries?"

When I walked up to the underworld soldiers, I stood silently before the two of them, unable to figure out why they had called me over yet again.

Elder Qi was the fifteenth head of the Qi clan. By the time he was born, the center of the Zhao State had already shifted eastward from Taiyuan to Handan. As local magnates of Taiyuan descent, the Qi clan gradually lost their voice in political affairs. The highest position Elder Qi ever attained was a minor assistant to a local county magistrate, yet this in no way diminished his authority within the county.

As for the skinny lawyer, he was meticulous in his thinking. Although he didn't speak much, every single time he opened his mouth, it was useful and crucial.

The most important point was that they knew how Chen Feng had acquired his money. Under such circumstances, their misgivings were comparatively lower.

When a customer wins a prize, the boss is also very happy, since he can get a commission on the prize money.

"Director! We have news!" At that very moment, a young male doctor burst into the director's office and said to Cai Chengren who sat before him.

Looking at Xiao Xixi with her hair neatly coiled up, the Dowager's long-suppressed mood relaxed slightly, though the immediate memory of the late Madam Chen inevitably stirred a sense of sorrow at the sight.
