Chapter 98: Target

In the dim basement, a woman was absorbed in studying a corpse.

Fang Zhixun came down the steps, his expression calm.

“Tsk, what are you here for this time?” The woman’s eyes were utterly cold. “I’ve given you the medicine. Take it slowly. Once she recovers, you won’t be able to see her anymore.”

“Senior Sister, I...”

Zhong Li was finally beyond furious. In the past, Yuan Xiuyuan had always obeyed her without question, but now she not only faced a formidable enemy, even her trump card, Yuan Xiuyuan, seemed faintly treacherous. How could that not leave her seething?

Too old to concern himself with the affairs of Falling Blossom Manor, Yu Dian eventually passed the manor lord’s position to his eldest son, Yu Xianglong. But the second son, Yu Yuanfeng, refused to accept it, and from that day on, the two brothers, once harmonious and supportive, began to turn against each other.

Emma’s breakthrough sent a stir through the entire Starlight Mercenary Corps. A captain did not necessarily have to be the strongest in the whole company, but if the captain’s strength remained unimpressive, it would still be a weakness. In the future, when dealing with other mercenary bands, it would become a target for ridicule and mockery.

Duan Can nodded; he understood Xiao Yan’s concern. He had felt the same way back then. After Xiao Yan’s attack fell, he had been hurled far away, and Blood Wolf had not died at the final moment, only been gravely wounded and preparing to flee.

She studied Ye Chengzhi covertly. He really was very handsome, and kindhearted too, and so gentle. Was such a perfect man really going to become her boyfriend?

“How could that be? We’ve been tailing them for so long and they never noticed us. Our tracking skills are nothing to scoff at,” the other person said confidently.

But at the moment, this was the only way to guarantee the lives of the Prince of Liao and his consort. So I decided to carry out the assassination myself. Having made up my mind, I drew a deep breath and leapt into the air. Using the spring of the pine treetops, my body skimmed over layer after layer of rooftops and drifted into the rear courtyard of the Prince of Liao’s manor.

In the human world, those who possessed a spatial artifact were all leaders of major powers, and such artifacts did not actually belong to them personally; they were merely entrusted to them temporarily. When they eventually stepped back from the spotlight, the spatial artifact would definitely have to be handed over. There was no way they could keep it for life.

As soon as the words fell, the four sharp claws poised to pierce Guo Lin’s heart suddenly shattered into glittering specks of light and vanished into the air.

“It’s been a long time since anyone from the Flower Moon Pavilion has seen Hall Master Xie. I wonder, Master Xie, are you settled in well here?” The sharp, mocking laugh was indeed Lin Liguo’s.

At that moment, amid beautiful, romantic music, a pair of flower children carrying baskets filled with petals walked into view. It was none other than Nan Nan and Tao Tao.

When Luo An entered the Incense Palace, he saw beneath the full moon and under the love tree a man seated in meditation, with silver hair and a white beard, immortal bearing, and a kindly, benevolent face. Needless to say, this was the Matchmaker God.

Not only the outsiders, even the vice dean himself showed excitement when he saw Wang Hao standing motionless.

Just when everyone had come to accept this, the Time Spirit Ancestor suddenly died without warning, turning into a skeleton. After that, a few rumors began to spread from the mouths of those who had seen the Time Spirit Ancestor’s bones.

“Nothing.” Not wanting his negative emotions to affect her, Meng Peiyuan would rather brush it off with a smile in front of her.

Zhou Ran’s face remained calm, but inside he was on high alert and deeply shaken. It was the first time in his life that he had truly felt the terror of a Star-Soaring expert. He lightly tapped his fingers one by one against the cold stone-carved armrest to ease the unrest in his heart, appearing as though he were lost in thought over something.
