Chapter 122: Always Able to Pry Open

That scoundrel really dares to think big, and that’s not even considering that Lu Qingqing had no such intention at all. Yet he began to fantasize wildly—he was surprisingly imaginative.

“I never said I wanted to find her a stepfather.”

“What exactly is so good about Xie Zhiyun?” Shen Jin grew anxious. “How could someone like that play the role for Manman…”

“Boss, do you really think I’m in cahoots with them? So you just don’t trust me? Then what’s the point of me staying here? I’ll leave!” Old Wang snapped angrily, then turned to open the car door.

After hearing that, Ji Wushuang looked at her father again. His expression now resembled that of a cunning old fox.

The teahouse’s fifth floor spanned over a hundred square meters, adorned with several framed ink paintings and calligraphy on the walls, exuding an antique charm. On both sides of the main hall stretched corridors lined with lacquered pillars and green tiles, intricately carved and brightly colored. Outside, the fine rain drifted down, and from the eaves hung numerous birdcages, filled with the lively chirping of birds—a delightfully melodious sound.

But now that his celestial rank had risen, doing good deeds became his duty, and even if there were rewards, they would be meager.

After being kicked away by Li Xiang, the man in the white coat didn’t immediately pursue him. Instead, he stopped, brushed the dust off his knees, and his gaze darkened. With a flick of his right hand, a glint of cold light appeared as all the buttons on his white coat were slashed open.

Tian Ci, endowed with unparalleled strength, was incredibly fierce; only Gai Nie could barely hold him back. But the remaining forces, even with the combined might of the Mo family and the Flowing Sands, were hard-pressed to resist.

Zhang Zoukai laughed uproariously, yet beneath his laughter, a hint of ferocity crept into his expression.

Lu Jiawei blushed deeply at Wu Fei’s words and hurriedly shook her head to deny it. She and Zhang Tianyi had never harbored even the slightest innocent affection, though she did not deny harboring a certain special fondness for this man.

Although the Eye of Detection was an auxiliary feature, it was an independent system in itself and could therefore be fused using Floatstones.

At that moment, Naruto Uzumaki noticed familiar faces sitting nearby, along with a few strangers.

“Come on, let’s go greet them,” Zhao Nannan pulled Lu Anran over to say hello to Qin Ze. Lu Anran had been reluctant, feeling a bit awkward, but Zhao Nannan had already dragged her along.

Le Bing felt as if countless flowers had bloomed instantly on Shangguan Fei, like a peacock spreading its magnificent plumage—and a male one at that.

Rolling his eyes, Sun Wukong, never one to let an opportunity slip by, mounted his Somersault Cloud and flew straight to the Heavenly Court to try and extort some benefits from the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord.

Everyone locked their gazes on Yu Weiyan, and after a moment of silence, a sudden scream erupted.

Fortunately, the escape skills honed in a previous life were flawless; otherwise, evading that sword strike would have been impossible.

After parents were notified, Wang Haoxue clearly received some tough love. Coupled with the class teacher’s furious outburst upon discovering multiple boys in the class had broken the rules, he had no choice but to keep a low profile for a while if he wanted to sneak online during the long, boring lessons ahead.

“What else? If it weren’t for Master Fangzheng and Taoist Letian stepping in, I wouldn’t even be alive now. Spending a year or two repaying the debt is only right,” Jiang Zhou said matter-of-factly.

“Uh…” Le Lan was instantly at a loss for words, her face flushed red with anger.

Just when one thought one was enough to be a freak, there was someone wielding the power of a Saint Master. The Bloody Nation already had a Saint Master who was formidable enough, and now there was yet another.

The mercenaries of the Iron Leopard Corps had their mouths agape, laughing heartily, but the sudden gust of wind that rose from the ground immediately silenced them.
