Chapter 30: A Softening Stance

[System, are you saying the child has now been taken to the mountains, and once the time is right, will be moved immediately?]

The system nodded: [Yes, if they move quickly enough, they should be able to find the child before the transfer happens.]

The group that abducted the child were heinous criminals; Qiu Ju’s child was only one among many. They had even captured dozens of people, taking them away in batches.

Huo Zheng’s eyes grew urgent—there was no time to waste. He immediately took Qiu Ju to the police station.

It was said that Cao Jin was extremely narrow-minded. When he led his troops to capture Gunzhou years ago, he was seriously injured in an accident. Later, he launched a ruthless campaign of retribution, executing seventeen officials responsible for his injury along with over three hundred family members.

“Your prince is not dead yet,” came a cold and stern voice from inside the carriage. Zhan Ying immediately relaxed and wore a complicated expression, one that defies description. In just a brief moment, he seemed to have experienced both the agony of loss and the joy of reunion—two utterly opposite and extreme emotions.

Even the luminous zombie crystals of the light element—after eating just one, he had no desire for more. Yet Yun Jinyao insisted he carry pure light energy?

Throughout the entire process, Jiang Yejin remained mostly silent, her expression thoughtful. Everyone thought she was heartbroken and didn’t want to talk about such matters, so they didn’t pry.

As the conversation grew lively, no one remembered to ask the system deity why there was no footage tracking the tiger-wolf captain. What on earth was going on with that guy?

“Qiqi, let me see if you’re hurt,” he gently coaxed her, reaching out to check the places where she had endured his blows.

But he wouldn’t be foolish enough to show agreement, especially in front of Liang Qiu; otherwise, he would have no peaceful days ahead, and this marriage might never take place.

The father didn’t mind the unpleasant smell; he simply waited patiently nearby. At the end, he even helped his son wipe his bottom. He wasn’t a doting parent, but at this moment, he just wanted to spoil his child a little.

The Li family father and son had betrayed Chen Kefu last time, reaping unparalleled honor and wealth. The family head, Li Yuan, was promoted to Left Prime Minister and appointed as the governor of Taiyuan in Hedong, commanding the military forces across more than ten counties in Shanxi and Heji.

Old grudges and new hatreds intertwined, fueling Tao Guang’s rage. He led his 62nd Division and the local militia defending Hengyang City in a fierce assault on Liaotian Town.

A halo was not something only those with the “yin-yang eye” could see; it was an instinct humans possessed since childhood. The color and intensity of the halo, especially around the head, carried very special meanings. Simply by observing the halo, one could even discern a person’s thoughts before they spoke.

After all, any team that made it to the playoffs had fought fiercely through the regular season.

Lin Hongfei had a premonition: perhaps this visit to the Wang family was the moment to confront them. He hoped the Wang family wasn’t so black-hearted. Lost in thought for a moment, Lin Hongfei suddenly sighed.

After the cold words were spoken, Chen Siyun was completely frozen in place, no longer daring to utter a single word.

Killing swordsmanship, flashy swordplay—this was the consensus of most people in the world. From Li Yu’s memories, Li Mu had never taught him sword techniques, only briefly explaining the basics. The rest he had grasped through countless life-and-death battles.

“Huan’er, what time is it now?” After being served a bowl of thin porridge by Huan’er, Li Yu asked, his body telling him he had been asleep for a long time.

In the beginning, the title of Inner Court Expert was only bestowed by the national leader. Later, as things developed, this title could be granted by deputy provincial-level officials.

Then the rumbling grew louder and louder. The circular formation finally activated fully, but it was clear the formation was undergoing an energy-gathering process—all the energy was converging toward the center of the formation.
