Chapter 40: Offending the Soul Hall

Han Daqiang’s plan to poison Lu Fei was nothing but a foolish fantasy. No toxin or drug could escape Lu Fei’s notice. The Jiang family members were collectively dumbfounded, unable to fathom how Lu Fei had detected it.

Jiang Shanshan, putting on a performance, said, “This tea is a premium blend we specially bought in Hangzhou, kept in reserve for honored guests. How could there be anything wrong with it?” Lu Fei set it aside...

Fortunately, dinner was simple. Xiang Wan graciously finished everything on her plate. Only afterward did she refuse Leng Changlin’s offer to help her upstairs, bidding him farewell and slowly, laboriously climbing the stairs on her own.

“That’s hard to say. According to Lao Ji’s feedback, Su Xi said that man takes good care of Shu Cao and is very affectionate. Shu Cao is genuinely happy, much happier than when she was with the other one.” Qian Ling shrugged and spread her hands. “That’s what I heard, but it shows she’s truly joyful.”

Shang Jing, overhearing their conversation, couldn’t help but smile. Tian Qianqian was becoming more and more endearing.

“We’ll talk when there’s time. I’m a bit busy here, I’ll call you when I can!” With that, he hung up without waiting for Qiao Yu to respond.

“Heh.” Yu Xinyuan snorted coldly again and cast meaningful looks to both sides. The police officers caught on immediately and moved closer to the center.

“Come on, scan my WeChat.” With Qiu Ning’s command, Bai Yu and the others obediently took out their phones, walked up to Xia Yu, and carried out the transfer, their hearts bleeding.

“If that’s the case, I need to call my family.” Lu Ming spoke up at once.

Ordinarily, with Liu Chaoyang’s impressive IQ of 250, he could easily sort out these matters. The trouble was, concern muddles the mind.

“Tsk, what bad luck! Who would have thought she’d leave with Xiang Kesong?” Xiang Qiaoling pursed her lips, annoyance clear on her face.

A deafening boom shook the world, space shattered, and Qin Yan’s figure was engulfed by the roaring sea of lightning at the very moment the tribulation thunder struck.

Now, facing the genuine aura of a streetwise tough, Li Tianxiu was left wide-eyed and utterly helpless, frozen and uncertain what to do.

Even if one had been a Golden Core stage cultivator, after becoming an infant, one must obey the rules of heaven and earth—sleeping by day, crying loudly at night.

This young man, too, was a Sword Emperor. However, judging by his unstable cultivation, he had only just entered that realm.

Long Xiao perked up immediately; if he won, he could rightfully demand the whereabouts of the scepter.

I sat alone by the window, enjoying some pastries and tea, gazing out at the beautiful lake. My mood gradually brightened.

Li Tianxiu saw her father solemnly invite Yue Qi, instantly understanding his thoughtful intentions and feeling grateful. She looked at Yue Qi with anticipation, hoping he would shine once more and not disappoint her mother.

Beside me... If Xia Tian hadn’t slammed the brakes after a minor collision, Old Ye’s driver’s seat might have ended up with a huge dent.

Long Jie knew that now Jia Qianqian had become valuable in his mother’s eyes, she would not make things difficult for Qianqian anymore. So he had someone summon Qianqian.

Thus, Li Liying never liked those who came to visit He Wei at work. “Who do you think you are, daring to argue with me?” This time, Li Liying mistakenly thought Lu Qinghe was mocking her, clinging to her. Especially when met with Lu Qinghe’s contemptuous gaze, she flew into a rage, stepped forward, and tried to slap him.

As if afraid Zhao would not believe her, Gu Xihua nodded vigorously, and with that force, the tears in her eyes fell like pearls, one after another, making Zhao’s heart ache.

The Buddha Fox suddenly rushed over, thoroughly inspecting Qing Feng’s belongings, then questioned him in confusion.
