Chapter 29: Going Together

When the two reached a secluded corridor, the lady stopped and softly called out, "Ying'er."

Sheng Xiaying smiled, as if she had long expected to be stopped, her eyes glinting with a touch of cunning.

The lady stared at her intently and lowered her voice to ask, "What exactly are you trying to do?"

Sheng Xiaying's expression remained unchanged as she whispered: ...

"Xiling Yue, do not forget the pact between us! If you take her away now, I, Ming Potian, will ensure your Demon Realm knows no peace!" When Xiling Yue had moved to take Tang Youyou away just moments ago, he had felt a fear unlike any he had ever known—a terror that she might truly leave with him! She had not agreed; was this not a stroke of fortune amidst the misfortune?

Feng Guang truly dreaded this opening gambit. She composed her expression once more, assuming a serious demeanor, and prepared to listen earnestly to whatever instruction he had to offer.

Upon hearing this, a sweet smile bloomed on Wushuang's face. She had loved him; she should have realized it back when she had kissed him so boldly. But it was his own fault for being slow to react. By the time he had fully awakened to the truth, she had already embarked upon the thorny path of suffering and torment he had so meticulously laid out for her.

Feng Guang walked inside without hesitation. Before long, she realized she had wandered into a kitchen again—no, it was the kitchen of another Weiming Residence. Her intuition told her that she should go and take a look at their bedroom.

Soon after, Ling Lanyu also arrived, accompanied by only two attendants. It seemed they were not merely for show; otherwise, Ling Lanyu would not have kept them by his side.

"Where is Keigo?" Ian grabbed a random servant, desperate to know the whereabouts of Atobe, whom he had not seen for an entire day.

This Huang Shi had not been deceiving anyone; his words had been quite reasonable. To a normal person, they would have been flawless, but he was simply unlucky to have crossed paths with Lang Xie, who preferred to take unconventional risks.

Originally, she had intended to call him her idol, but ultimately feeling that the term was too distant, she changed her mind and called him by his name instead.

Shangguan Diewu was beyond furious. A flash of murderous intent crossed her slender eyes, and she raised her hand, the blade poised to fly toward Bingwu. Yet, for some reason, she held back, forcibly retracting the blade.

Linglong’s face turned pale. She looked hurriedly toward Gu Zhaoxi, her lips parted in an eager attempt to explain, seemingly terrified that he might change his mind.

The Queen Mother nodded with gratification and said, "Good! Yue'er, you must have a proper talk with your Brother Xin. Your father and I both feel that there was something suspicious about the death of Chi Yan all those years ago. Now that Ming has suddenly appeared, it only confirms our suspicions."

Fa Qiu began to turn the eighteen prayer beads in his hand once more, muttering incessantly, as if reciting some Buddhist mantra. The beads in his hand began to emit a faint glow—a light not like that of a luminous pearl, but rather like the afterglow of the setting sun.

Rong Yan did not let go, but instead turned his head to the side, scanning her from head to toe over and over again with his long, narrow peach-blossom eyes.

"According to our monitoring results, the first starfall occurred at the Rainbow Flight Academy. However, due to the Allied Forces, the matter was never properly investigated," said Su Haoran.

Having commandeered another’s bridal sedan and detained Su Wanru, a man like Yin Luoxuan could naturally deduce what Murong Yinzhu wanted.

Xue Xiaoni stood motionless beside Li Rui, neither returning to the car nor attempting to stop Zhao Da as he left. Unless someone made a move to harm Li Rui, Su Qingyi, or Xin Yu, she would not intervene. If Li Rui had not shouted to stop him just now, it would likely have been more than just a car that Zhao Da destroyed.

"Fine, I’ll give Deng Zi a call later. The guy didn't even come to me when he had something on his mind, but instead had you pass the message along. What? Does he think there's a generation gap between us now?" Li Chen feigned anger, patting Li Junrui on the shoulder as he spoke.
