Chapter 136: Second Brother Punches Shen Moxu, Don't Believe Him

“The old man here is healthy; no matter what, I’ll be trailing behind you. But you—watch out, you might kick the bucket.”
“You annoying old codger, just as irritating as ever.”
“Hah! Jealousy! Pure jealousy!”

The two elderly gentlemen bickered incessantly, while Li Jiuwei and Zhou Hui exchanged glances nearby. There was no tearful reunion of old friends, only—

“Zhou Hui, didn’t your grandmother mention any grudge between my master and herself?”

They grew closer and closer, both guards sweating in their palms. A creeping sense of dread rose within them, intuition warning that the man in black was trouble.

Nalan Lan’er stood frozen, then recalled that when An Sining had questioned her before, she hadn’t mentioned anything—perhaps because at that time she didn’t yet know.

Even Shen Dong couldn’t help but glance at Zhao Shi; she was the matriarch who controlled the affairs of the backyard. Could all this have been her design?

As dawn gradually broke, palace attendants entered the dining hall to clear away the remnants of last night’s supper. Yet, the floor showed no trace of any lingering intimacy between Bai Yuzhu and Feng Ye Han.

This time, it was the Empress who had taken the initiative to unsettle Su Ruoshui. Ye Guoyuan saw through Su Ruoshui’s motives at once—though the trap appeared laid by the Empress, in truth, the Empress had fallen into a scheme crafted by Su Ruoshui. Once again, he chose to intervene on behalf of the Empress, hoping to shield her from disaster before it even began.

“I didn’t expect someone so young to speak with such eloquence. Truly deserving of being the team leader,” Wei Debiao immediately expressed some admiration toward Lang Xingtian.

Typically, tomb raiders would enlist a feng shui expert to locate the tomb’s entrance. The geomancer acted as a scout for the team, finding the way inside, while the others were responsible for retrieving the treasures.

The grand inns and taverns across the capital were already packed early, with scholars from all regions eagerly awaiting good news. Even the sick rose to their feet, sending attendants out to gather tidings as messengers came and went.

Reid’s eyes suddenly widened in disbelief as he looked at Lia beside him. Lia understood Reid’s meaning but found it hard to believe.

Xing and her husband had gone abroad for their honeymoon. Here, she was once again isolated and vulnerable, with Qi He becoming her sole support.

She realized she couldn’t let herself be lost in sorrow; as the eldest in her family, she had to return at once.

Shang Yuhan looked down at her, amused by her adorably shy expression. Yet, a surge of tender affection welled up in his heart.

Her panicked, bright eyes, slender white shoulders, and jet-black hair spread across the pristine white quilt created a striking image.

The zombies seemed to regard Xiao Jinniang and Ji Muyang as a feast, recklessly desperate to reach them. They trampled over each other like a pile of human blocks, inching ever closer to their prey.

“I thought I could just wait around!” After Wang Fei’s retreat, Ling Tianyue said to the drunken Ling Shuang.

“My junior brother’s internal energy belongs to the pure yang type, and its intensity rivals even those who have cultivated innate pure yang techniques!” Huo Qinglong said, glancing at the defeated Wang Fei.

Meanwhile, Qin Liangyu and Amin chased each other through the sky for an hour until they reached a vast lake.

The island was not wealthy, but his personal arrival showed the complexity of the negotiation at hand.

“Never thought there really was such a thing as reversing old age, right? Doctor Lao, restoring youthful looks must feel good. Do you want to go back to school?” Leng Yue narrowed her eyes; she hated lies and deceit the most.

Still, I insisted on wearing short sleeves and casual pants to stroll through the Grand Plaza of Wangcheng. This was a district of Jiangfeng City called Wangcheng District. As for the Grand Plaza, it was the largest square here. Many people came in the morning for a walk or exercise, and couples would come at night to enjoy the moonlight.

I stood there stunned, trembling slightly, frozen in place for a long while without moving. What did this mean? For a moment, I felt an inexplicable awkwardness.
