Chapter 54: Gu Hanchen's Scheme

Mother Gu called, undoubtedly to make sure that as soon as Xie Chenhao returned, he would become entangled with her again.

She could even hear the commotion coming from Gu Yao on the other end of the phone.

Gu Fangyu's attitude was lukewarm: "If Mother has nothing else, I have things to attend to, so I will hang up first."

Just as she was about to leave, Gu Hanchuan's car had already pulled up in front of her.

......

"Men may not see, but the heavens do. Stop while you can." Liming originally had no intention of intervening, but after listening to the conversation between the two, he felt a certain resonance and ultimately decided to help Kuiba.

She felt that Du Ling was becoming increasingly daring in her dressing—short skirts, stockings, and high heels—making her look almost unlike a college student.

The Pegasus Ranch had nearly ten thousand combat-ready soldiers, and Shang Xiuxun had taken half of her forces out on this campaign. Five thousand men filed out along the gate tower of the gorge, like a long dragon sequentially emerging from the canyon, pouring into the vast plain before the gorge and pushing forward toward the endless horizon.

When the patient first arrived at the hospital, he was indeed in a vegetative state, and it was only through her acupuncture treatment that he had become what he was now.

This monster possessed a human body, but in place of arms on either side of his torso were six pitch-black tentacles. Astonishingly, his head was a blazing red flame. Liming merely glanced at the fire and felt a wave of dizziness wash over his mind, realizing it possessed the ability to attack spiritual consciousness.

Once they had entered the military waters of the United States, the US finally lost its composure, and a high-yield nuclear bomb codenamed "Titan" was dropped.

"Duke Mobray the First..." Zhang Yang repeated, feeling that the name sounded somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

A lingering sense of loss welled up in Longya's heart at Liming's departure. In truth, deep down, she wished she could talk with Liming for a little longer. However, she also knew that Liming had many matters to attend to and could understand. Much like how her imperial father never had time to accompany her, Longya had long since grown accustomed to it.

"Go ahead," Su Haoran said, leaning against a maple tree, crossing his arms, and assuming an expression of ready attention.

Now that a dragon tribe member had suddenly run over to their territory to mention this name, it inevitably caused the nerves of everyone up and down the Netherworld to tense up.

In the first quarter, Cheng Yang suffered heavy losses at the hands of Chen Feng, so during the break, Tang Hongtao readjusted the tactics specifically targeting Chen Feng. Since Cheng Yang could not defend against Chen Feng's cutting movements, other players would be sent to help with the defense. In any case, Chen Feng could not be allowed to run amok on the perimeter and do as he pleased.

This score left Lu Meiyang somewhat unsatisfied, but over at Quyang No. 12 High School, Coach Li Ronghai was already breaking out in a cold sweat of terror.

However, this was even better. Since those people had stolen the manual of Gu sorcery secrets, it was impossible for them not to study it. In this world, hardly anyone else knew it, so if someone proficient in Gu sorcery appeared later on, it would be much easier for her to track them down.

Gu Chen took a deep breath, steadied his mind, then stepped forward and bowed respectfully toward the stone platform above.

"Good tea." Gu Chen picked up the teacup, held it beneath his nose to inhale its subtle fragrance, then touched the rim to his lips and took a light sip.

Staring intently at the phantom image drawing closer inch by inch in the air, Gu Chen's gaze narrowed slightly. Ever since he laid eyes on the Demonic Flame Heavenly Phoenix, it seemed nothing had gone according to his expectations, and a mere few words had already made it extraordinarily agitated.

On the other end of the line, Wang Wangjuan hadn't even finished speaking when she heard the dial tone humming in the receiver. After saying "Hello" several times and confirming that the other party had hung up, she angrily slammed her own phone down hard as well.

Lin Xuan glanced over, filled with immense astonishment: Xueqi has already reached the mid-stage of the Divine Penetration Realm?

Even so, he still gained some harvest, because within this mountain range lay the very things he desired.

Gu Chen shook his head and offered no reply, only biting down hard on his lower lip while glistening tears began to swirl in the corners of his eyes before he even realized it.

Upon seeing Feng Yu, the head of the Xuanji family instantly understood why that old man from the Ye family, who had clearly stated just a few years ago that he wished to retire, had suddenly decided to continue serving for another five hundred years.
