Chapter 41

For Liquid, there is no longer a need to prove themselves with championships; they only need to secure the titles they are expected to win at the highest level of competition.

"Both of our time is precious, so Second Madam, let us speak plainly and stop beating around the bush," Jiang Baoqing said calmly.

"Finally, let me introduce Brother Wu, Wu Huaisi, a legal expert and a master's graduate from Capital University. He is currently the vice president and head of the legal department at an investment firm. Like Sister Yanqiu, he is also a successful single professional," Hu Mingchen finally said, introducing Wu Huaisi.

Although Tuofa Yilu was reckless and impulsive, he was not a fool who would knowingly walk into a trap like a man throwing himself into a tiger's den.

Those who knew his true identity either thought he was a fool for becoming a celebrity and dragging his family’s reputation through the mud, or they considered him eccentric and deviant.

It was said that Jiang Baoqing’s medical skills were miraculous. The Princess of Qingzhen must have heard this, as she held Gong Wan’s hand, probing for information about Jiang Baoqing’s abilities throughout their conversation. How could she not see through that?

When the Lion of Xiyan, Vladimir, heard the scouts—who had been monitoring the movements of the Hexi-Anxi Army—report that the army had marched out of their impregnable camp and was charging toward him and his forces with aggressive momentum, he felt no fear or panic, but instead burst into a wild, arrogant laugh.

After asking, a grim realization immediately rose in Shi Miyuan’s mind. Since Ye Qing had forced him out of the shadows and into the spotlight, he would use the situation to play a counter-game against Ye Qing, thereby strengthening the retired Emperor’s resolve: even at the cost of losing the support of the imperial court, he would ensure the northern territories were brought entirely under the control of the throne.

"If you want to know something, sit down for a moment, and I will tell you slowly, haha." Hu Mingchen patted Chen Kang on the shoulder, then turned and walked into the main entrance of the clubhouse, which resembled the gates of a royal mansion, with Chen Xuesheng leading the way.

A tremendous force surged from that shoulder pole, a powerful manifestation of the Great Dao that sent the vast stars reeling. Li Er, meanwhile, looked completely relaxed, as if that strike were merely a casual gesture.

However, the sound of a head exploding, which they had anticipated, did not occur. Many people could not help but open their eyes again, looking toward Ye Hen with confusion, and suddenly, the entire scene fell into a suffocating silence.

"Ten million battle guards, capable of combat without using mechs?" Liu Kehong muttered to himself, his heart unavoidably stirred.

Back then, to test the blade’s sharpness, Liu Kehong had specifically conducted experiments using warships. Under the attack of their own insect-vessel claws, even the hull of an S-class warship could not withstand it; as for SS and SSS-class warships, given enough time, they could be breached as well.

Because they had to siphon fuel from the reserve fighter jets, it was already past eight o’clock when Cao Shanhai and his men departed. By then, Okamura and his party had already crossed Mashen Bridge and were frantically rushing toward Zunhua, thirty kilometers away.

Over the decade, members of the planetary expedition team had analyzed and studied various minerals and rocks, yet the useful information they obtained was negligible.

With a single horizontal slash of the door-sized, particle-infused steel blade, he split the fellow who used to boast so loudly into two.

"Could I have been mistaken? Why did I receive news that he stayed up all night watching over you?" Ye Feng’s injury was not actually that serious; he had exaggerated it to create a smokescreen for his sister. Since she was so eager to stand up for him, he let her have her way. He hadn't expected to reap such an unexpected reward.

The rain had just stopped; the air was damp and the temperature was mild—a very pleasant night. However, due to the heavy rain, almost no one had come this far to walk deep into the West Lake scenic area, so this usually bustling place now appeared incredibly tranquil.

Chu Xiao’s heart stirred; from the words of the Master Craftsman of Source Diagrams, he had subtly captured a clue that seemed to have some connection to his teacher.

After returning to Feiquan Study from the banquet, the Fourth Prince, He Bi, feeling stifled and exhausted, went straight back to his bedchamber, wanting to rest for a while.

"Master Chu, how about we end this matter here?" The quasi-saint of the Han clan was dead, so naturally, a new leader had to step forward.

"Apologies, President, it is all our fault for not keeping a tighter watch." The general manager knew Murong Xian’s temper and could only hang his head in dejection, admitting his mistake before Murong Xian could lash out at him.

Ding Wei was a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and he was an expert in such confiscations. After receiving the Emperor’s imperial decree, he divided his men into eight squads. Besides himself, each squad was led by a thousand-man commander, while Ding Wei personally escorted Fan Yongdou to the Fan residence in the city.

Upon hearing this, Leng Tingjun’s deep eyes lit up instantly, as if a thousand brilliant stars had been ignited at once. Unable to hide his excitement, he didn't say a word, swung his long legs, and strode directly downstairs, heading rapidly toward the dining room of the main house.

So, this is the kind of person he is. Emperor Kangzheng thought to himself, while cold tears traced a path from his eyes, through his hair, and down to the back of his head.

Outside the ward, Lei Yiming, dressed as a doctor, and Su Moyan, dressed as a nurse, walked forward with composed and calm expressions, and in a moment, they were about to exit the intensive care unit, which was heavily guarded by troops.
