Chapter 135: Backdoors Must Be Gained Through the Back Door

In the main hall of the younger uncle's home in Hejiang County Town, a pall of gloom hung heavy.

Never had anyone expected that they would come together happily to celebrate the New Year, only to run into such an unlucky misfortune...

The old grandfather was holding little Xibao, and the old grandmother was holding little Dongge, both sitting in the seats of honor as they listened to their daughter-in-law's tearful grievances.

The younger aunt had put on quite a bit of weight, her eyes red like peaches. As she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, she sobbed, "At this time yesterday, we were eating dinner when suddenly, government runners burst in, holding...

How he was released need not be fully told, but after all, he still managed to accomplish a great feat—he went back to Qingchuan and gathered a bunch of young islanders to become water bandits together, almost angering the old island master to death.

"What is it?" Prime Minister Xue was in an extremely foul mood. The sudden halt of the carriage made him even more irritable.

"If it's just cloth or a rain cape, wouldn't it just float around on the water?" Wan Yuchen said, somewhat doubtfully.

Fenshen Yinde and Princess Yongqi acknowledged the order and immediately relayed Fang Xiaoyu's command. Then, a dozen combat cavalrymen retreated northward.

She knew that the screen made of silk was translucent; she could secretly see the situation outside, and people outside could equally see her figure clearly. Because she was mentally prepared beforehand, she was not flustered at all when suddenly called out.

Even if a Nascent Soul stage cultivator were to make a move, they could not fully protect her, unless it was a cultivator above the Deity Transformation stage.

"How did you know I like watching fireworks?" Under the night sky, Bai Muchuan smiled brightly, the radiance like the North Star enveloping her face.

By dusk the following day, E'erduo brought Yongyan—dressed in plain clothes—and Gao Jinzhong up to the Sanguo Cliff of the Fang family.

The masts on the river were dense as a forest, boats and skiffs shuttled back and forth, the people at the ferry crossing were as numerous as ants, and a mountain of miscellaneous goods was piled high. Grain, oil, fur, salt, alkali, medicinal herbs, as well as silk, cotton cloth, tea, and porcelain were too numerous to take in all at once. The riverbanks also led into bustling streets and alleys; although most were shanties and single-story buildings, they formed a lively market, bustling and prosperous with coming and going.

"If you do business for your boss like this, you'll be given the boot sooner or later." Bai Yuexiang looked at him in astonishment, truly wondering whether he was genuinely foolish or just pretending.

Although the Black Tiger was an ordinary beast, it possessed a powerful instinctive intuition for danger. It sensed that this monkey's strength was already no less than its own. Of course, monkeys stronger than it were everywhere here, but none of them were as interesting as this monkey.

When Ye Jinhuan went out to relieve herself, she glanced at the doorway, looking at pair after pair of eyes, and her brow twitched.

Lu Chenzhou changed into a black training suit patterned with a flying swallow skimming over the sea. This was also a gift from the martial arts gym, allowed to be worn home. Looking in the mirror, he appeared much more spirited.

Lu Chenzhou had already finished his first round, and his opponent was Wang Yang from Class One, who had barely broken through the fourth stage just before the summer examinations and was defeated by Lu Chenzhou in thirty moves.

Lu Fang's style of handling affairs differed from that of Chen Zhen. In his view, as long as an enemy might be involved in the Three Evils, they should be executed first and reported later; if they were wronged, compensation could be paid afterwards.

Lu Chenzhou stepped forward in a stride, suddenly changing direction, and side-kicked Shi Ruyu's knee. Shi Ruyu lightly dodged, and Lu Chenzhou rapidly moved around to his back, following up with the Tiger Lord's Mountain-Crushing Palm.

Everything I learned is related to corpse-gathering. Grandpa also explained it to me in detail before he was alive. He said that whenever you see a body on the road, if it doesn't move, never step forward to ask what happened to it.

After all, those rumors had just been spoken at the dinner table today, and now this framing seemed to make some of the lies appear true.

If Shen Yang had known his deterrent force was this strong, would he have felt he was a bit too restrained when he took care of the other party back then? But no matter what, the deterrent effect had been achieved.

"You old man, as soon as your son arrives, you start making a fuss. Can you let your son have peace of mind?" Wu Wei's mother complained.

This Su Yang was simply going too far. In one breath he cursed him for not living long, and in the next he claimed he was wearing a green hat. Damn it, nobody could endure something like that placed on them.

The cultivation techniques they practiced were all the same—a nameless, very basic cultivation technique.
