Chapter 80: Not a Chance!

Shao Zining saw that she truly could no longer keep it secret, and finally spoke up in a soft, hesitant voice.

In truth, she hadn’t wanted to say anything, because she knew well enough: this was a problem none of them could solve.

“It’s an issue with my company. Our boss is rather lecherous.”

“The original plan was for Ling Yue to dance and interact with the fans.”

...

Regardless of what she thought, she had gone straight to look for Feng Qingchen, her resolve utterly unwavering. Even though she was still just a child, wasn’t it often said that a child’s actions are the purest and most direct?

At that moment, Chu Xiaoge happened to come in. Hearing what Shi Xilan said, she gave a little shudder but kept silent, sitting down quietly to the side. At this time, they all wanted to hear Shi Xilan’s explanation.

But once the Yaoteng real estate project was merged under the name of Jade Emerald Properties, Xia Nan would be able to continue leading her team forward.

The captain of the guards clutched his severed arm and screamed in agony. Only then did he notice a man in white, a folding fan swaying in his hand, standing across from the carriage with an icy gaze.

Seeing that the security captain was genuinely angry, Flying Tiger knew he couldn’t push his luck—unless he no longer wanted the job. He stood up, reluctantly heading out.

“Your Majesty, Emperor of Dongyao,” a general from the Xuan Yuan Kingdom suddenly called out, raising his fists respectfully after having drunk his wine.

Some of the imperial guards sensed something amiss and cried out loudly, but they were all entangled by the enemy, unable to break free.

“His Majesty always knows how to speak well. We will undertake this task,” the Venerable Compassion sighed inwardly, helplessly taking his seat.

Everyone saw only her dazzling aura, her peerless beauty—who noticed the scars that covered her body? Who saw the heart, battered and fragile, hidden behind her mask of cold indifference?

“Don’t scare me. What’s going on?” Xu Kexin’s heart had already been stolen by him; seeing his pitiful look, she crouched down, trying to help him up.

As a renowned Confucian scholar in the martial world, Liu Weiyi had endured for decades within the Azure Profundity Sword Sect, even masterminding the gathering at Wooden Temple with a single stroke. His mind was as refined as tempered steel; the subtle words of the young man in a plain robe were of little consequence to him.

She didn’t answer him. Only when Lu Yuancheng came closer did he realize—she had actually fallen asleep. If he listened carefully, he could even hear her long, even breaths.

If she were any more self-absorbed, and assumed he harbored improper intentions toward her, she would have to make it clear: that was simply impossible.

Lu Mo was on the phone, appearing to be in a very good mood. Ye Qingqing didn’t disturb him, just sat on the sofa, cupping her chin in her hands as she watched him talk, growing more entranced with each passing moment, her eyes brimming with adoration.

A thick finger crackled with electricity; with a single point in Chen Le’s direction, a bolt of lightning visible to the naked eye shot forth.

Takeda Yoshio and Bai Lichun still found it unbelievable after hearing his explanation, sizing him up as they tried to accept his words. “I need to eat something, then get some proper rest!” Ling Moyu felt unusually exhausted and hungry upon returning.

Fortunately, Zhang Hao could recognize all the characters—evidently, this place had been established by someone called the Carefree Wanderer. Unable to break through to Nascent Soul stage, he had died here, leaving behind a grand formation—the Nine Palaces Array—and all his possessions within.

“What could I possibly do to her? It was Kato—he tried to assault the princess!” Prince Che felt utterly bewildered.

“Can this thing really influence the Emperor’s own thoughts and decisions? Is it truly that miraculous?” Liu Yuyuan pressed on.

“Mitao, I’ve already allowed you to take away those inconsequential people. Now, isn’t it time for you to call out all your men who’ve been lying in wait?” At this moment, the withered old man finally spoke.
