Volume 1, Chapter 40: The Bowed Sword Spirit

Throughout the entire process, Ye Wuchen flew ahead transformed into a sword.

He did not even glance at Chuncao, yet Chuncao’s face turned pale. Reviewing her own words, she could not help feeling a hint of regret. She should not have merely pandered to the mistress’s thoughts, and being somewhat too eager, she had unintentionally offended the master of the house.

Then why wouldn't they turn back to the Emperor's side and hoist the grand banner of the Duke of Wei in front, making it a protective umbrella to shield them from the wind and rain?

Madam Fu smiled and nodded, saying nothing more. The days ahead were long, and she had no intention of letting Luo Pingyan return to the capital so early.

With a muffled thud, the pitch-black wall merely quivered slightly, shaking off a layer of fine dust and revealing a surface with rough textures.

During their last meeting, he had said that she had helped him, and if she ever needed him in the future, she should feel free to speak up.

Both Li Yunbao and Shen Xingnan reached out kindly to accept them, took a polite sip just to make a gesture, and then handed the teacups to the maidservants beside them.

"Elder sister, the chopsticks can already pierce straight into the meat. Should we keep the fire burning? Do you want to take everything out of the pot?" Xing'er's question interrupted Li Yunbao's train of thought.

Upon hearing this, and seeing Luo Pingyan's stern expression, Wanbi pouted unhappily and turned her head away. Seeing this, Shen Hanxian covered her mouth and chuckled, but unexpectedly received a fierce glare from Luo Pingyan as well, prompting her to restrain herself considerably.

This time, Li Sanlang did not stand on ceremony, chopping the edge of his hand sharply against the back of her neck. Her vision went black, and she only had time to think, "Damn it! He really is a martial arts master," before passing out.

Adhering to the principle of helping someone all the way to the end, and since it was only a few steps away anyway, Li Yunbao simply drove the carriage to take this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair—who possessed completely contrasting personalities—back home.

Fu Qing squatted down and began to debone, while Ge Yin, having nothing better to do, prepared to look around the vicinity to see if there were any other discoveries, and thus left the area.

A string of questions popped into the minds of the two, but experience told them that when facing such matters, the best approach was to keep away to avoid conflicts with the locals. Yet judging from the faces and figures of those people, they did not look like the local ethnic groups, but rather resembled Han Chinese.

After meeting Tu Baobao today, Yin Ziye became even more certain that his feelings for Tu Baobao after ten years had not deteriorated in the slightest due to the passage of time and distance; instead, they had grown even deeper. He thought that perhaps he would never be able to leave Tu Baobao for the rest of his life.

"What? Too cowardly to reach out? Surely you aren't afraid I'll eat you up?" That smile was like a blossoming sunflower, making the interior of the cave seem much brighter.

Hu Miao clenched his teeth, raised his other hand which had been hanging down, grabbed the bayonet with both hands, and glared fiercely at the Yaksha King.

This place was, after all, not a military camp, and most of them were young people, which was why Du Yuesong found management somewhat strenuous. If he could manage them using military methods, it would save him a lot of worry; unfortunately, the Prince of Ling attached great importance to this training session, so he could not simply have things entirely his way.

In an instant, Li Yilan felt that Xu Yaran did not care about him at all. The disappointment he initially felt was swept away by Xu Yaran's question, bringing a wave of comfort to his heart, which proved that Xu Yaran actually cared about him quite a bit.

"Potatoes, or what you call horse potatoes," Su Jin had originally said potatoes, but suddenly remembering that potatoes were called horse potatoes in ancient times, she quickly corrected herself.

Hu Shuntang could not figure out why Liu Zhenming would do such a thing. Even when he was still the head of the local police station, he would strictly execute orders from superiors, and now that he had joined the Department of Paleo-Science, doing something like this was a major violation of rules. Could it be because Zhan Tianya refused to let him visit his bedridden elderly mother?
