Chapter 118: The Pursuit!

He had to constantly be on guard against Meng Nan, after all, he was the most skilled among the four top experts. If Meng Nan ever found the slightest clue, it would be no surprise if Meng Fei were to fail miserably.

However, what he did not realize was that Meng Nan already knew everything. It was Meng Bei, the one he trusted most, who had told him personally.

Turning around, he called a servant and lowered his voice.

...

Baili Nuyun whispered mysteriously to him, “The last time I quarreled with him, I called him a stinky mute, and this pouch was something I casually tore off him!” Of course, this was nonsense—she just didn’t want to cause more trouble for Shi Lantao.

She felt as if she had been taken advantage of, but fortunately, Bai Chenxi had not overstepped any boundaries just now.

“Stop wasting time with her. She’s here just to cause trouble. Just have someone throw her out,” Xiahou Suizhu snorted. She couldn’t stand Duan Yihua’s arrogant and domineering attitude; it was clear she was deliberately looking for trouble.

“Your Majesty, your humble subject has something to say but is unsure if it should be spoken,” Zhao Xi said, clasping his hands, a playful glint on his face.

“You all may leave now,” Zhu Ke’s cold eyes swept over the kneeling maid and elderly servant, who were still trembling like wheat seedlings. His calm and steady male voice carried an air of authority, yet the tone was carefully measured.

The topic had originally been hers, but it seemed that once these worldly matters were brought up, the debate would never end. Right and wrong, both sides argued fiercely—there was no absolute truth.

His profile, set against this secluded paradise, appeared extraordinarily handsome. His demeanor was elegant and refined, with every gesture exuding the unique charm and carefree spirit of a wanderer.

Thus, occasionally, nobles from the region would come to the Xue Manor to admire its grandeur. Before long, the Wind of Haiqiu began to sweep through Jiangzhou.

Little did anyone know that after fourteen years, Yanmen Commandery had been managed by him with meticulous care. What was once a barren land of sand and stone had flourished. The emperor was forced to summon him back to the capital.

It was proven that Ning Fei only acted foolishly in front of Ajiu. Once Ajiu left, he immediately regained his clear and deadly composure, calmly directing his troops in battle. His unfamiliar blade was like the reaper’s scythe—wherever it struck, the Xiongnu soldiers fell in heaps.

“I heard you say you’re going to the Black Herb Forest, so I got a bit excited,” Bailian said as she helped him up and leisurely headed toward Guanhai City.

Meanwhile, Zhou Qinqin, upon seeing Shen Tang’s reply, rolled her eyes and muttered silently that Shen Tang was a master of pretending to be innocent. Her gaze then settled on the three words: five million.

This time, Wen Xue was very grateful to Wang Yi. Thanks to Wang Yi’s investment, his new drama could start filming without worrying about funds.

One vehicle certainly couldn’t carry everything, but it was enough for Ma Jiali to drive her own Land Rover.

Even though the dragon-scale python’s skin was tough and thick, it still suffered a grievous wound from the fatal cut of the Soul Severing Flying Dagger, severely draining its vitality.

He didn’t have the habit of eating breakfast. By the time he arrived at the company, the eggs had long gone cold, so he tossed them aside casually.

It should be known that the Lord of the Forgotten River had been desperately resisting Shi Cang’s sword qi. Now, with that defense gone, everything happened in an instant.

This led her to a terrifying speculation: if the Immortal King were still alive then, could the stowaways from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands have succeeded?

He had never been looked down upon for his appearance and had even been helped when he was at his lowest, given a new life. This made him very grateful.

Only then did he realize that earlier he had merely draped the blue robe over himself, not fully covering his body. Hastily, he snatched the clothes from his hands and quickly shut the door.

Naturally, he also explained the promise he made to Ding Zi at the Jiang Family Medical Clinic to Madam Jiang. She didn’t get angry but merely nodded knowingly. There are no free lunches in this world; as long as he could live and continue healing others, that was far more important than keeping a house that couldn’t be used.
