Chapter 52: Sima Zhao’s Ambition

The Ji Residence.

Returning from outside, Zhu Jiahui hurried over to her husband and said excitedly, "Old Ji, it's confirmed. Gu Yu has left."

Ji Liguo was equally overjoyed, saying, "That's simply wonderful."

With Gu Yu out of the way, there was only that brat left. Even if she was strong and could fight, so what?

No matter what, they were her parents. As long as they shed a few tears to the outside world, those useless fools out there would definitely side with the old Ji family.

What made Wanwan lose herself in thought was nothing other than Dai Jin's words: "Even the best coroner cannot find out what kind of marks are left on the body."

When Emperor Wu of Han arrived at the Huo residence, Bing Ji, Zhang Anshi, Du Yannian, and others were already waiting by Huo Guang's bedside. Each of them had given strict orders that news concerning Huo Guang must not be delayed, simply for fear of missing the final farewell to their old friend.

Chi rode a black horse to a spot three paces in front of Wang Yan, circled around him, his expression growing increasingly gloomy, and cast an even colder gaze at the surrounding soldiers.

The man wanted to turn and run, but helplessly, his aura was locked onto by Wang Yan. Under the terrifying pressure, his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

Silently praising her as a remarkable person, Wang Yan withdrew his gaze from Tie Wumeng and politely bowed to her.

Actually, Bing Ji did not know what he could do to take care of Huo Yu, other than keeping an eye on him to prevent him from getting into trouble blindly. Given Huo Yu's current official rank, there was nothing else to fear; as Right General, he was on the same level as Han Zeng and Zhao Chongguo.

Feng Liu's words were correct and very much in line with current combat conditions. Since the enemy was unwilling to engage in a head-on collision on the plains, it meant they feared you, and therefore they were dragging things out by using their proficiency in jungle warfare.

Muxing did not believe that Yun He would really take his words to heart; he was clearly just humoring him.

The other Jade Bone realm practitioners engaged in battle felt a shock beyond measure when they sensed it. Qiu Hao's apparent strength had always been merely at the fifth layer of the Jade Bone realm.

Having lost the support of A Jiu's soul, the clay figurine became like a treasure drained of spiritual power, instantly disintegrating into a pile of ordinary mud.

Unfortunately, her hand was a step too slow. Before she could even touch the phone itself, a polished, gleaming black leather shoe stepped directly onto it.

Su Lan was good to her; Shu Chisu was not unaware of this. Therefore, when Su Lan said that, her nose genuinely began to sting slightly.

Right Chancellor Tan Xiaosong, Weapon Sovereign Xuanyuan Qiubai, and Mingzhao Military Governor Wu Qi were already waiting in the hall, exclusively awaiting the two of them.

"Imperial Grandfather..." Ming Lie stepped forward impulsively, intending to speak further, but Qin陌 glared at him fiercely, flicking his sleeves as he walked away.

At this very moment, Li Lufei had no idea that he had become the target of a private investigator's inquiry, and continued his ordinary yet fulfilling life as usual.

When a man feels jealous, when a man turns green with envy, she understood very well what these things meant. She was crystal clear about it.

Although the officers and soldiers were all filled with indignation, they were restrained by the rat-in-the-pot dilemma and dared not press too hard, merely lingering dozens of yards behind in close pursuit.

"What belongs to you will naturally be given to you; we won't cheat you out of anything, and we will still have you do tasks in the future. But you must remember this: do not touch Shangguan Ao. If anyone touches him next time, I will have you killed. Do you understand?" Lin Xiru said with displeasure.

They had known each other for ten years; what they had experienced and the love they shared would never be subject to any doubt again.

And this was precisely what I rejoiced to see. How much effort we had expended was all for the sake of waiting for this day.

"No way!" Xiang Ye let out an exclamation, but the only answer he received was the sound of real gunshots.

What made Hao Ran feel the most unbelievable was that, apart from the super sperm whale serving as their mount beneath their feet at this moment, there was actually another entity in this cave that had formed a demonic pellet.

The other three television giants felt a simultaneous tightening in their guts—they also had many affiliated television stations, just not as many as Fox. If this trend were to take hold, the future competition among major television stations would plunge into disorder. What should be done then?
