Volume 1, Chapter 61: The Humiliation of the Great Qian!

At this point, Chu Yun let out a long sigh of relief.
Brother Li had saved his mother, and his only request in return was to rescue Lord Liu.
This was truly a very modest request!
If Lord Liu had ended up being executed by decapitation anyway, Chu Yun felt he would truly have no face left to face Li Xian.
That sense of guilt would accompany him for the rest of his life.
Fortunately, the influence of his father, the Virtuous Prince, still carried significant weight.
Not long ago, his father had sent word over there, and the prison authorities promptly released Liu Xi. As the Bureau Director of the Ministry of Revenue, Lin Yong naturally could say nothing against it.
Even if the person involved had been Lin Dongyang, the Minister of Revenue, he probably would not have dared to object.
Because the one who spoke up was none other than the Virtuous Prince!
A...
"Actually, this is the three-step strategic plan of the Sacred Dragon Project. They succeeded in implementing it, making the wheel of social progress entirely unstoppable. No one could halt it; everyone could only walk the predetermined route set by the Yama Ghost Cultivators, right up to the present," the Great Elder said with a bitter smile.
"Just think of it as a gold-rimmed white cabbage; at least it is pleasing to the eye. Under the suggestion of psychological hints, you won't find it so hard to swallow," said Xiao Fei.
Both of his feet sank deeply into the incredibly hard bluestone bricks, and his entire set of clothes was pressed flat against his body. Even the muscles throughout his frame were trembling continuously under this immense pressure.
Kashu Kiyomitsu, dressed in a Seiyun white haori and kimono, sat in the courtyard, clearly delighted by Ganso's early arrival.
Following a terrifying collision between their attacks amidst a thunderous roar, both figures blasted backward at the same time.

Li Fangfang jumped up immediately upon hearing this, unable to believe her ears. In her understanding, Chen Hao simply could not possibly possess that much wealth.
As for the Frozen World, its vitality had long been severely damaged due to the previous invasion of the devouring Zerg. Although several years had passed, it had yet to fully recover.
The more Bao Xingfeng thought about it, the more he felt this was the case, while the Red Monkey had become the ultimate scapegoat of this incident. This made him feel extremely aggrieved; Bao Xingfeng was no ball of dough to be kneaded and manipulated at will.
As the laughter subsided, Tang Ye instantly pulled back and retreated violently, plunging straight into the magma. Looking closely, under the protection of a layer of water veil surrounding him, the magma along his path was completely isolated, and even those fiery-scaled lizards seemed entirely unaware of this fellow's presence.
Red armor fragments and gray bodily sludge drifted away with the sea breeze. Xihe jumped back onto the ship, her expression rather grim.
Ye Wanning made a rough guess like this. She suspected that the person behind the scenes might even be Fu Linhao, though it was hard to say for sure. If it really was Fu Linhao, why on earth would he want to frame and kill Zhu Jingjing? Could it be that he wanted Gao Chenxi to misunderstand something about her?
The red-tailed tiger should be able to find mountain spring water, as it had also come to drink. Upon locating the springhead, the red-tailed tiger pressed its mouth directly against it and began to lap up the water with loud, gulping sounds.
She continued to observe Su Meng'er's condition, conducting a thorough check from head to toe before finally stepping out of the ward.
"This concubine pays respects to Your Majesty the Empress; may Your Majesty be blessed with eternal fortune and peace." With an incident occurring in her own palace, Noble Consort Shu had immediately gotten up to await Qin Jiao.
"A necktie?" Jing Mohan held the gift box, staring blankly at the tie inside. How could it be a necktie? Shouldn't it be "Qingqu Neiyi"? How did it differ so much from what he had imagined?
In the border defense forces, the number of people holding this rank could be counted on one hand.
Before long, they encountered a medium-level demonic beast. This particular Crimson Flame Fire Python appeared especially fierce and ferocious.
However, before the sky grew completely dark, Liuyu needed to find a source of water. Having no water storage container, he had to drink a few more mouthfuls before nightfall, relying on this hydration and water-rich wild fruits to get through the night.
Varus peppered Fiora with arrow after arrow, maintaining an uninterrupted rhythm of output. As the low-health Cho'Gath fell, Fiora was also taken down by Su Wei's basic attack. Subsequently, the spreading effect of Varus's ultimate took effect, leaving the immobilized Sejuani and Braum to fall to Varus one after another.
"Tell me about the Lotus Banquet!" Muku Ling had heard of the Lotus Banquet before, but due to her low social standing, she lacked the qualification to attend and thus knew very little about it.

Furthermore, their boss, Tian Dashan, completely failed to manage the situation and even tacitly condoned such behavior.
Xi Dongchen stared at her with his purple pupils, trying a few more times until, to her astonishment, he actually managed to retract them. His sharp fingernails also pulled back, and the piercing chill receded bit by bit.
In the past, whenever delinquent youths appeared, Liuli Xue would march straight into their classroom and personally make the student shave their head bald in front of everyone.
At this moment, Nagato motioned for Zhunti to hold his tongue for the time being. Once everyone had walked far enough away, Nagato finally spoke.
When Su Xianmei was in Haijie City, she once told Lin Tianyao that after returning from Lingdong, Zhao Hansheng had left the Zhao Dynasty and retired to live in seclusion in Northern Han to practice cultivation. His whereabouts remained unknown.
Nan Gongming generously agreed, though his lips muttered about junk food being unhealthy and meant to be eaten sparingly.
In a corner, Nan Gongming and Xi Xichen found a table and sat down, his hand never leaving her shoulder.
"Where is your Kun...?" Lin Tianyao proved to be focused on this point first, as most memes about Zhuangzi involved his Kun being stolen by Han Xin. Seeing a Zhuangzi who wasn't riding a Kun felt rather novel indeed.
Qingrang understood; thus, she could not save Jinniang either. Her only path was to obey the Crown Prince and uncover evidence of Yu Zichen's treason. Lifting the hem of her skirt, she pushed open the door to find the two men still locked in a brawl inside.
The man seemed to have entirely forgotten about Ruoxin on the bed, not even sparing her a glance as he lowered his head to tease the giggling concubine in his arms, gradually walking away.
"Sir, plain water will be fine. By the way, has there been any progress regarding Mr. Schuster?" asked Congla.
As for the matter of not leaking her identity, given Wuzhang Feng's current refined reputation and the presence of Zhang Xi, it hardly needed mentioning.
