Chapter 58: Why Are You Still Loitering Here? Go Back to Your Young Marshal's Mansion

Qu Pan and Qu Hanzhi walked into the front hall to see Lan Lian prostrate on the floor, clinging to Chu Hanliang's feet and weeping tearfully. They looked speechlessly at Chu Xiaoman, who wore an innocent expression.

Chu Xiaoman lowered her head, yet in an angle where no one else could see, she made a grimace at Chu Hanliang.

With an expressionless face, Chu Hanliang pulled his foot back. Down below, upon catching sight of Qu Pan, Lan Lian crawled over to cling to Qu Pan's feet instead, only to be nimbly avoided just in time.

"Eldest Miss Qu," Lan Lian pleaded, "I am now married to the Second Young Master and have risen above ordinary folk. I truly will never again pester the Eldest Miss over irrelevant matters. I beg you to believe me, I was merely passing along a message, and I honestly had no intention of undermining your relationship with the Young Marshal."

"So it was you..." Qu Pan was rather taken aback, raising her gaze to look toward...

Along the journey back, Murong Xi had already informed her that Hua Ling had returned home safely and soundly.

In order to entertain Ding Hao, he had even brought out a set of royal Wallace bone china tableware that the family had treasured for nearly two hundred years.

Meanwhile, the figures from the top ten family factions below, including Su Ye, seeing that none of the various powerhouses from the Three Sects had shown up for this auction, realized that the Three Sects had tacitly accepted this behavior.

Ding Hao could quite understand Auntie Qiao; after all, she had no idea that he had already transformed into a humanoid monster, so he rather enjoyed this maternal style of pampering and care.

The security camera positioned above the corridor offered a clear view of Savos's door. If Ding Hao wished to remain undetected, he had to deal with it first, though fortunately, the intelligence dossiers provided a solution for this exact scenario.

Had she not been injured, she and Liu Yu could easily have gone toe-to-toe with the three men without necessarily losing.

"No, this is bad." Lei Tianjun finally realized something was amiss, sensing acutely that he was likely no match for Su Ye.

The person who brought this news to Li Xun was somewhat startled by Li Xun's hysterical expression, and stammering, said...

Facing Lancaster, Xavier no longer leaped forward with double-handed slashes as he used to; instead, he closed in with a rapid stride and delivered a one-handed strike. Yet just as Xavier attempted to draw close, Lancaster's claymore thrust directly forward. Raising his sword at an angle, Xavier parried and deflected the thrust completely.

Tang Xin made a polite gesture with his hand, inviting Tang Xiao's parents out onto the balcony to reminisce about old times. As he turned away, he cast a meaningful glance back at Xia Ningtai.

Clearly, upon returning to the provincial capital, Old Qian had also learned that Liu Junwei's father, Liu Zhong, had assumed office as the acting governor of Shandong. However, his previous address of Liu Junwei as "Young Master" was merely said in jest, and not because he sought to curry favor with Liu Junwei simply on account of his father's sudden elevation.

On the whole, the fighting capacity of a pit bull far surpasses that of a Tibetan mastiff, but when pitting a single pit bull against a single Tibetan mastiff, the outcome remains uncertain. After all, even within the very same breed, there exist distinctions of quality.

Boss Qin and the others all wore gloomy expressions; none of them had anticipated that Sun Zesheng would raise his price on the spot, and by a full ten billion at that. Such a massive hike was simply too much for anyone to bear.

The onlookers had originally expected Xavier's head to burst into a splash of blood and flesh under that strike, yet unexpectedly, the incoming fist froze mid-air before ever making contact with his face. Following that, they only saw that beneath that massive fist, a pair of human palms was distinctly enfolding it.

The half-closed eyes radiated an air of supreme disdain, the golden pupils replaced by one dark golden and one deep blue. An overwhelming aura of destruction surged forth, causing even the stars themselves to tremble involuntarily.

A three-day holiday is actually not long; feeling as though nothing of consequence was accomplished, it simply slipped away. After a few days of relaxation, Yoona and Yunxuan returned to their respective agencies.

Christopher cared little about what Tang Xin had said; what bothered him was that the other party spoke English yet had chosen not to answer his question earlier.

"Then why do you feel that your current job is unsuited for you?" Chen Ke's tone revealed not a trace of his inner emotions.

The items in Jiang Yan's hands were gifts given to him by Aunt Huangling upon his departure—among them were some dried sausages, canned goods, and other edibles, alongside two sets of Uncle Luo's new military uniform.

Seeing Jiang Yan display such immense confidence, Factory Director Zhang was reminded of the previous equipment upgrade; this fellow seemed never to have let him down before.

Liu Wenwen turned her gaze toward Tao Yu, her expression seemingly asking: Aren't you blushing at all for praising yourself like that?

Yan Muan was in an exceptionally fine mood. Just think, this was equivalent to her transforming overnight into a major shareholder of a private bank; as long as this bank remained in operation for a single day, it would generate profits for her day after day, ensuring she would never have to worry about a lack of silver for the rest of her life.

The white-browed elder's brows furrowed deeply, as though he had never imagined that the ultimate outcome would turn out this way.

After inspecting the silver note in his hand, Manager Hua let out a long sigh before finally relenting to arrange the matter, turning away to make the necessary provisions.

From the tip-off until now, the Celtics had failed to score a single point. Relying on Big Ben's dominance in the paint, the Bullets managed to secure a 4:0 opening lead even while their players' shooting touch remained somewhat cold.

Su Ping naturally believed her; Qin Xiaoxue was hardly one to make empty boasts. Since she spoke with such assurance, she unquestionably possessed the foundation and confidence to back it up.

The words of gratitude Yan Fan had already prepared froze instantly on his lips. He gazed at Su Ping before him with disbelief, as though he must have misheard.

With this explanation, both of them felt considerably more at ease. The North City Garrison was directly administered by the Prince, so receiving priority was entirely proper; as long as their own share remained untouched, all was well.

With that, Annou produced a red flame-shaped emblem, then pointed to the family crests emblazoned upon the shields and surcoats of the others, using these to prove that she spoke no falsehoods.

Suffering losses to this extent, intelligent undead such as flesh-eaters quickly grew level-headed, yet the skeleton warriors and ghouls continued to surge endlessly toward Hilne wave after wave. Unawares, a fierce battle had already erupted across the entire rampart.

Li Ann coughed lightly, feigning an expression of solemn seriousness as he said, "There is no real problem with you joining in, but ugly truths must be stated upfront."
