Chapter 126: The Hearts of the People
Jiang Jiu-yue’s eyes flickered with malice as she spoke once more.
"You still refuse to tell me your choice, don’t you?"
"..."
Lu Qingqing did not know whether to call Jiang Jiu-yue naive or overly confident; the truth was already laid bare so clearly.
Although there was only one crate, it was of exquisite quality. That night, the sky filled with purple irises became a memory etched in the hearts of everyone in Autumn Scenery City.
Uchiha Matsuri performed a hand seal, and two wood clones, identical in appearance to him, walked off in two different directions.
Hozuki July, who had been killed previously in the Village Hidden in the Mist, was the older brother of Hozuki Chinjin, the leader of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
He turned his head away, his cheeks appearing gaunt. Though he tried his best to keep his spine straight, his silhouette still looked somewhat desolate.
"Lord Lemon has gone to attend to an urgent matter..." the nurse explained, busily retrieving various hemostatic herbs and bandages while urging Sophia to lend a hand.
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Baiyu and Li Binwei reunited, exchanging the riddles they had written for one another.
As for the fate of Mu Yanliang, Hua Moyun could guess it even if the Moon Goddess did not say. Ever since the Moon Goddess returned, Mu Yike had kept herself locked in her room. Hua Moyun knew she had a troubled heart, yet she made no attempt to resolve it.
The man held a half-bloomed, dew-kissed rose in his left hand, and in his right, he carried a—lunchbox.
Although Chen Afu was extremely reluctant, she had no choice but to let him go. She knew the child was not only going to pay his respects but also to comfort the heart of Chen.
She had actually been by the side of the Empress Dowager for over twenty years; the bond they had cultivated was undeniably profound... Thinking of this, Chun Zhi’s hands trembled involuntarily, and she nearly dropped the soup tureen to the floor.
The man was dressed in black, his frame lean and devoid of any excess fat. His eyes were narrowed into slits, yet the light emanating from them was incredibly ferocious, like that of a savage wolf.
"I see you’re surrounded by more and more 'younger sisters' these days! That Milan, and just now, Xin Rong—aren’t they all your 'junior' sisters?" Chu Yu emphasized the word "sister" with a bitterness that could be smelled from far away.
Upon hearing this, a sweet smile appeared on Wushuang’s face. She had loved herself; she should have realized it back when she boldly kissed her. But she blamed only herself for being slow to react. By the time she had fully come to her senses, the other girl had already embarked on the path of thorns, filled with pain and torment, that she had so meticulously designed.
His desk was the closest to the door of Gu Chen’s office—positioned so that he could be seen the moment the door opened—leaving him no time to conceal anything.
Upstairs, Mo Yanhuan tried on several outfits, finding it even harder to decide which one to wear.
In the deepest part of the mine, a loose weathering zone appeared. Xiao Yao finally understood what Zeng Taiping meant by a "major problem."
Youyou did not wait for them to speak and pushed open the ajar courtyard gate herself. What met her eyes was a yard overgrown with weeds; likely uninhabited for a long time, it exuded a musty, moldy odor that made her stomach churn violently.
Chinai looked toward Ezaki Yoru, who was devouring her food, and thought, It doesn't seem to taste that bad, does it?
Besides, being too perfectly beautiful is actually a sin; don't you know that, Beauty Gu, you might be taken away by the heavens?
Although the centurion of the Taicheng Guard was still somewhat reluctant, Yueshan Jian had already invoked the name of Lord Yu, leaving him no choice but to comply and board the ship.
"Not everyone who practices martial arts can sense the auras around them, but those who have advanced their cultivation to a certain level are indeed capable of it..." Ike said with a gentle smile.
