Chapter 123: Trapped Within the Scheme, Part 3

Mo Qinghan took out her phone but did not call He Zheyu; instead, she dialed Han Mo.

“I’m at the main gate of Nanshan Manor. Come pick me up, but don’t tell He Zheyu I’m here,” Mo Qinghan said quietly to Han Mo over the phone.

Before Han Mo could answer, Mo Qinghan had already ended the call.

She leaned slantwise against the car door, the early autumn evening breeze, tinged with a faint chill, brushing over her pale frame. Her hair, once tied in a ponytail, now flowed freely, rising and falling gently with the breeze—much like the turmoil stirring within her heart.

“I didn’t mean to lie to you. The boss asked me to find an excuse that would let him stay at your place...” Han Mo panted, clearly out of breath.

“This will reduce your karmic burden and benefit your cultivation against the Heavenly Tribulation!” the Peony Fairy concluded.

After hearing this, Han Shengqi nodded repeatedly, then bid farewell to the manager and others before heading toward Yuan Xianglin’s home.

Moreover, after swallowing the lost souls, he no longer launched attacks but instead gathered all the malevolent energy in the hall before him, as if preparing to unleash a powerful technique.

The sound of fluttering continued—Ming Cha had already taken care of the two mage orc monsters, while Mufeng felled the blood-winged demon tiger’s orc, and Zifeng eliminated the orc warrior, leading the controlled orcs over.

Xie Er had never witnessed such a scene before, and his tinnitus seemed to worsen.

Xie Lier guessed that Qiao Xiu was unaware of her true identity, which explained her calm demeanor during their conversation.

Before the match, Andre was nervous. He noticed two S-level supernaturals from Jiuyou watching the game. Clearly, they had come for Ji Tianci. He hadn’t expected his opponent to have such powerful backing. Previously, he only knew of the unusual relationship between Ji Tianci and Ma Yiwei; now it was clear Ji Tianci was no ordinary figure in Jiuyou.

Though lacking solid evidence to prove Han Shengqi stole the chess manual or to send him to the police, tarnishing Han Shengqi’s reputation was not difficult.

At home, he clung closely to signify intimacy, yet the old master still refused to let go in such a setting, implying something else entirely.

Zhiyie rarely saw Ar cry; it led her to wonder if Ar’s nerves were too coarse to comprehend sorrow.

“Since you’re acquaintances, this will be easy. Bai Geli, we’ll borrow your car for now. Ye Shu, go drive,” Qi Die ordered Ye Shu with a self-satisfied smile, not consulting the owner. Ye Shu glanced at Bai Geli but obeyed the palace master’s command.

If Tang Zhong had not come, one could have simply left, at worst earning a reputation for cowardice. But now, if he showed up, a battle with Yan Chihuo was inevitable.

“…Very well.” Yu Wushu didn’t understand the reason but, adhering to the principle of ingratiating himself with his future aunt, he stepped forward with a glowing finger pointing at his waist as the man, more dazzling than his mirror reflection, approached.

Since then, whenever Guo Qin had free time, he would ponder ways to improve the “Xingxuan.” After countless failures and lessons learned, Guo Qin finally succeeded. Although there was still a brief charging time, he could now use the skill while moving.

During the 2015-16 season’s UEFA Champions League round of 16 second leg, Roma visited the Bernabeu. In the second half, “The Wolf King” Francesco Totti came on as a substitute. The entire stadium rose to applaud—the most sincere tribute to the 39-year-old Prince of Rome, the fourth Italian to conquer the Bernabeu.

Fufeng’s head sank onto my shoulder as she fell asleep. I smiled faintly, pressing close to her, clinging tightly in the cold night wind. I lost track of how long I’d been asleep until footsteps nearby woke me. People moved back and forth in the courtyard, seemingly oblivious to us.

But after observing Arsenal’s three league matches since the start of the month, Zidane withdrew his earlier disdain. He believed that with their new tactics, Arsenal would no longer be completely outmatched by Bayern in either play or statistics should they meet again.
