Volume Three: Turmoil at the Xuanwu Gate Chapter 117: Summoning Reinforcements

Upon exiting the Prince of Qin’s estate, it was just as expected: several suspicious characters were lurking outside, craning their necks and peering about.

Ming Yu sneered inwardly. These spies were undoubtedly sent by the Crown Prince and the Prince of Qi to monitor the estate. He feared that leaving the city would be fraught with obstacles. Yet, lives were at stake, and the mission was imperative. He supposed that today, he would once again have to stain his blade with blood and carve a path to freedom.

With this thought, Ming Yu did not slacken his horse's pace. One hand gripped the reins while the other covertly tightened around his sword hilt. He whistled to Little Black, signaling him to be ready to strike at any moment.

Little Black let out a low growl of acknowledgment, his ears swiveling constantly as he stood poised, eager for the fray.

But little did he know, the men of the Crown Prince and the Prince of Qi were...

"Brother Zhang, do you believe me now?" Nami whispered, surreptitiously wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

However, accepting the Origin Crystal of Profound Meaning from her now gave him a guilty conscience, like a creepy uncle trying to lure a young girl.

After speaking, Shui Lingxin ignored Xiao Yan and turned to run in the direction of the Nine-Tailed Fox. She, too, longed for her homeland, but in the face of reality, who else besides Xiao Yan and the sister she had recently come to know would truly care about her feelings?

In this way, all sound on the mountain peak was muffled, while the lush trees and the perpetual mist served as a natural screen. They likely felt they would not be discovered, or even if they were, intruders could not break the defensive formation at the entrance, so the path remained unguarded.

By integrating the Eagle-Eye vision system installed on the top, bottom, and sides of the Sea God I, Qin Chuan could observe a 360-degree view and control the hull. For now, however, he simply continued his descent.

Even though Luo Huixue had now changed her face and her name, in Ouyang Liufeng’s heart, Luo Huixue was still Luo Huixue—not Gong Suye, nor Gong Susu.

"Heh heh, Yao Chen, I told you that today you would not escape my grasp!" he said, gazing at the figure of Old Yao, which had become nearly transparent.

Because Mo Yichen never showed any intention of driving Chen Qian away whenever she visited the hospital, she had grown quite smug lately, believing that her efforts were finally being noticed by him.

"True enough," Gu Xijin mused. Given the Lin family's status in the capital, it would indeed be easy for them to find out whatever they wanted, so she stopped dwelling on it.

Such houses were not uncommon in Jingzhou, but they were places only the wealthy could afford. Although Su Ping'an was naive, he knew that with his mother's meager salary and her usual penny-pinching ways, they could never afford such a fine home.

"Then, let us invite Teacher Luo to the stage." Liu Xin stuck her tongue out at Luo Xiu, looking like a conspirator whose plot had succeeded.

"Hmph, when the upper beam is crooked, the lower ones are sure to be askew!" Li Xuandie snorted, holding no favorable impression of Shi Kai.

The villagers were helpless against him, and since he had been appointed village head by the higher-ups, he had become even more lawless.

This was the first time he had scavenged two medical kits. Seeing that he wouldn't be winning the match anyway, he decided not to use them, planning instead to bring them into reality to see what exactly they contained.

"It's nothing. It seems you and Jiayi are quite close, aren't you?" He crossed his legs.

It appeared that Tang Tang’s one-handed pushing strength was around two hundred kilograms—not yet exceeding the limits of an ordinary person and still within the realm of normalcy.

This gentle inquiry sounded far louder than thunder to Zhang Wuwei's ears, and he hurriedly gestured for Zhang Yan to hush.

Even though the system had given him three months, the difficulty of building a base from scratch was beyond imagination. Since he could obtain a plot of land without spending a single cent, where else could he find such a stroke of luck?

By this logic, the young masters of the alien races and the descendants of the divine realm had essentially built a staircase right beside the pyramid of the alien races, using a shortcut to climb into their upper echelons.

The car pulled to a smooth stop at the entrance of the restaurant. Ye Chenmeng, intending to be self-reliant, prepared to step out, but Lan Lichuan had already stepped ahead to open the door for her.
