Chapter 39 With a Rat in the Vase, One Dares Not Smash It

Using the old lady as a pretext, Second Aunt Gu was actually entrusted by her husband to come and test the waters.

She never expected that Ji Sisi would be so capable, actually leading the incompetent members of the main branch to set up a street stall. Word had it that the business was quite good, and they had even hired people from the residential compound to help out.

The crucial point was that this time, Gu Yu had stayed in the county much longer than ever before, and his relationship with Magistrate Chu was obviously very good.

Second Uncle Gu felt a bit uneasy.

Xu Junxuan remained silent for a moment, naturally thinking that the embroidery workshop Meimei had mentioned must be the shop belonging to that Miss Liu. His sister-in-law had inquired about the person he wanted to know about for him, but after expressing his gratitude, he had remained inactive. Neither the brother-in-law nor the sister-in-law brought up the matter again. Now, his sister-in-law was going to visit that young lady—did she have some other intentions in mind?

People always say that a child wanting to support their parents when they are no longer around is one of life's greatest sorrows. But in Tang Zhiqian's case, it was the father wanting to fulfill his duty only to find the child had already flown away, having long ago completed a transformation in some unknown place to become a mighty eagle soaring through the skies.

For some reason, she could not bring herself to say overly harsh words to him. Her verbal expression was far more tactful than what she thought in her heart. She would never say sorry to him, nor could she be absolutely merciless toward him. Yet just how deeply must she love him, to disregard even the pain she had suffered in the past and still want to draw close to him? An Nianchu herself could not understand.

Crossing this line, given Ying You's shooting speed, it would be utterly impossible to prevent the formation of the penetrating arrow.

"Heh heh, this is no secret. Just ask Sha when we get back. The mother insect is actually right inside this cavern; I will force her out." Lin Xisuo said as he slowly walked to the center of the cavern and gently activated "Lost Light," which instantly emitted a five-meter-long blade radiance.

Just as Li Hui was standing in a daze, the sound of Ye Xin's resolute voice came into his ears. His mind shook, and he instantly understood.

Xu Junying returned only at the very end of the Hour of Chou. As soon as he stepped through the door, Meimei caught the smell of alcohol on him. Xu Junying sat down opposite her, staring intently at her face as if studying her facial features, refusing to look away for a long time.

Nanny Qin and the others felt miserable inside seeing this, not daring to disturb her any longer, and quietly withdrew. As for the quilt to be sent to the Gu woman, because Ruhua made a fuss, they specially found an old quilt and sent it over together with Nanny Qin.

"No problem! As long as your guards don't interfere with my capture operation!" Vasily said indifferently.

Yiyou's lightness skill was long no longer that of an amateur. Nowadays, even compared to Meihuo, he did not yield much, the only major difference being his endurance during long-distance travel. The two ran rapidly, and when they neared their destination, it had only taken them three days.

Just as he opened the door, he happened to see Su Yan wearing a tight black evening dress. Her black hair reached her waist, and her figure was slender and curvaceous. Su Yan was clearly about to knock, but she didn't expect Zhong Lingyu to open the door first. The two of them stared at each other in the doorway without speaking, the atmosphere somewhat awkward.

Previously, he had been asked to guard the Earth in outer space and intercept the attacks of the Guru army, but now the Gurus were already under his control, so presumably he had already withdrawn.

However, among these six gathering-spirit formations, there were six other spirit veins, all of which were top-grade spirit veins, sufficient to ensure that the heaven and earth spiritual energy gathered by the six gathering-spirit formations was exceptionally rich.

At the same time, footsteps approached from afar, and an elegant figure gradually appeared in Pei Donglai's line of sight.

When the Jurchens moved south, the current chieftain of the Jin stronghold, Jin Wuliang, mobilized the villagers to reinforce the stronghold walls. The walls were three zhang high, with a base eight chi wide and the top five chi wide. The Jin family bore eighty percent of the construction costs. He also organized and trained the estate guards, taking charge of daily security patrols and vigilance. Thus six years passed.

Because Luo Ping's studies were rather eclectic, he could not execute them entirely as he wished. After all, whether transitioning from fist techniques to palm techniques, or from fist techniques to sword techniques, or from sword techniques to saber techniques, there was always a transitional process.
