Volume One, Chapter 32: I Did Not Kidnap Your Daughter

The phone rang twice before it was immediately answered on the other end.

“Hello?”

“Are you Zhao Hai?”

“Yes, I am. Who’s calling?”

Shen Ruzhi took a deep breath and said, “I know where your daughter Zhao Min is.”

Seeing Tao Hua’s expression and hearing the tone of her voice, Prince Hao’s heart gave a violent leap. He wondered, could it be, could she be here to break up with him?

“Hongxue, I’m heading out for a bit. Tell Zhang Muqing I might not be back tonight, but let her know not to worry about me,” I instructed Ouyang Hongxue.

The newly arrived comrades were mostly familiar faces, and organizing them was swift and efficient. In just a few minutes, a troop of over a hundred set out in grand procession.

Five thousand—for the market price, this set of equipment was quite cheap. But Lilith mentioned the word ‘auction,’ which meant its final price would certainly not be low. Top-tier gear at the start of a server isn’t as common as cabbages on the street; with demand outstripping supply, the price for the best is always driven sky-high.

Hu Ye turned to look at Xiang Zixi, and seeing the determination and composure on her face, couldn’t help but feel a slight tremor in his heart.

His ears stood tall, listening to Ouyang Ruoxi’s movements. When Ouyang Ruoxi’s hand left him, a face drew closer; the warm breath quickly reached Ning Baobei’s ear and neck.

Jian Wei felt that his expression was full of meaning when he said those words, but she didn’t think much of it. She had never met the Third Madam herself, only heard she was a great beauty.

She never once mentioned returning to the Southern Song, instead, she wanted to go back to the capital. Could all those rumors about the capital be true?

“It doesn’t matter!” For Ning Baobei, Luo Yiyi appeared calm. After all, she wasn’t the one getting married—it was just her body. Once she found a way back, she would take Baobei with her.

Teacher Bai was very pleased with the closing price of the first artifact, and announced the appearance of the second piece in an enthusiastic voice.

“Isn’t there the Three Talents Formation? I’ll lay the Cloud Formation for Rain, Yanwu will lay the Fire Formation for Flame, and Sister Meng, you’ll lay the Wind Formation for Wind. With this dream as the heavens and earth, seal the nightmare mist within. That should solve everything,” Bai Xuepiao said to Yang Ting.

Sweat beaded on Wang Yi’s forehead. Even in court facing Yan Canglan, he never felt lost for words, but now he couldn’t refute Lan Rongyue’s remarks.

Seeing the Sky Eagle about to leave, Li Sheng grew anxious. According to the script, this shouldn’t be happening. The Sky Eagle was supposed to see Lian’er and then follow him back to the Li family.

Feeling Yan Canglan relax, Lan Rongyue’s lips curled slightly. “Husband, let’s walk to the summit. From there, we can overlook the entire eastern part.”

Mu Yi watched Qin Le depart, then shifted his gaze to where Qian Xian’er had gone earlier. He mused silently, “This Xian’er is truly beautiful. Even compared to Jiang Yi or Qing Ling, she’s not lacking at all.”

“Let’s check over there. There’s a stone tablet, it might provide some information about this temple,” Seven Kill glanced at the archway, then pointed to a tablet to the left of it.

Light spread anew through the entire tower floor. As Zhuo Xiong had discovered, not a trace of smoke lingered.

Though the Jiao had only the strength of a Condensed Vein realm cultivator, it had once been the spirit of a supreme immortal weapon. With its senses tightly shut, how could Long Yun detect Zhou Tian’s cultivation?

After Ouyang Jue recovered full health, he gritted his teeth and rushed straight at the Black Demon Fiend. Raising his hand, he unleashed a series of powerful attack skills, forcing the fiend relentlessly backward. A crazed Ouyang Jue was truly terrifying.
