Chapter 91: Truly Unafraid of the Cold

The man’s heart softened, and he drew Shen Ahuai into his arms, soothing her for a long while.

His voice was gentle indeed.

“Wait a little longer. Once this period has passed, I will make it up to you.”

“It’s all right.” Shen Ahuai looked wronged, yet she kept retreating step by step, asking for nothing, her heart as still as water.

...

Only Zhang, the board member, dared speak to Hua Zhongdao in such a tone. Though merely a board member, he had another identity as well: he was the son of the chairman before the last one. He also had some ties to Hua Zhongdao. They were not fellow disciples, but Zhang’s father had once guided Hua Zhongdao, so Hua Zhongdao had always been very courteous to him.

In the end, it was because Granny could no longer see any sign of Qin Jiu and was terribly worried, so she broke her promise to Qin Jiu and stepped out.

“Destroying a He family is nothing worth mentioning.” Lin Chen said indifferently. A He family not even worthy of being called a second-rate enterprise dared provoke him; death was the only road left to them.

“I’m afraid it’s not that simple. Since that person dared to set up a barrier, he must have been guarding against you.” Qin Baoyu’s expression grew grave. At this moment, she even hoped Xia Tian’s guess was true. If Yan Zimo really was that mysterious shadow, then they still had hope of getting out. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Chu Feng has now become a force to be reckoned with. He has even swallowed the life spirit within the Chaotic Secret Realm. If he fully refines that life spirit, then with his current strength, he may truly be able to contend with the Saint Son of the Ancient Dao Sect!” Zhao Yincheng was the first to speak, his face dark.

“It’s already been reported!” Geng Le had always been the sort of hothead who lost his brains the moment he got excited. After being attacked, his first thought was to strike back, and he had not considered the consequences at all.

And after seeing Tang Ying’s cultivation soar by leaps and bounds with his own eyes, especially that bizarre footwork, Li Feng was now afraid he might not even be Tang Ying’s match anymore.

A complete shameless scoundrel, like a turtle, impossible to get a bite on. There was simply nothing to be done about him.

“I never expected that someone in Hua Xia could actually block a single sword strike from Lord Kimura. It seems Hua Xia is not made up only of timid, useless cowards!” Xingye Kumi’s voice was cold.

For them, some things could feel simple at times and difficult at others. But that did not matter. As long as one was willing to do it and willing to think of every possible way, there would always be a solution.

Yang Fan was somewhat dejected. He stared blankly at the apartment for a while, then looked at his phone. It was only around noon; evening was still far off. It seemed he had no choice but to go back first.

Because he had not deliberately gone at full speed, and because Chaotic Dragon-Tiger City was enormous, it took Li Mu and the others a full half an incense stick of time to reach the city center, which was the city lord’s manor.

After being busy all day, Zhongyu had not met his father, and Fang Xiaoru had not summoned him to the secluded study for a talk either. It seemed Fang Xiaoru also had no intention of telling Zhongyu that the emperor had already ordered him to serve as the Crown Prince’s tutor. The specifics had yet to be settled, but the title of an imperial tutor to the heir apparent was already beyond question.

After all, no one was eager to deal with the Imperial Guard. Although their reputation was better now than it had been in the past, the long-standing awe they inspired remained, as did all their unsavory notoriety.

When Fang Mu, Fang Mo, and Mo Meixiang left, reporters were already packed thick outside. The moment they saw the three of them, most of the reporters surged forward, startling Fang Mu.

“What is it? Has something happened?” Gao Shu, somewhat exhausted, lifted her eyes to look at him.

Whichever possibility it was, none of it was good news. Especially if that person and the ancestral treasure of the Le family came from the same place, then he was certainly an enemy. If he were an acquaintance or fellow disciple, he would surely investigate where that object had come from, and by following the trail, find its source.
