Chapter Ninety-Three: The Attendant

Zhao Yuan gazed at the man, unable to discern his features in the dark, windy night. By the faint moonlight, he could only see the man’s towering figure, but what his face looked like remained a mystery. The man, upon seeing him, reacted as if confronted by a wild beast; in a frenzy, he drew a knife from his pocket.

“Who is this person? Why is he cultivating here? Could it be that they deliberately lured us here to kill us? Now, neither of us knows martial arts. All our hopes rest on your brother. Let’s find somewhere to hide first. If he discovers us, it will be trouble.”

With that, she led Zhao Ling’er away, and together they hid behind a large tree. The trees on Tianshan, for reasons unknown, seemed—

Witnessing everything, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan drew in a sharp breath. They had seen these people's strength firsthand, yet never expected them to seek help from the Taoist master.

Whenever these three went to see Lan Yuyan, they would carefully disguise themselves—sometimes as elderly vegetable vendors, sometimes as ordinary diners. Chen Ao had not assigned enough men to watch Fuxi Pavilion, so he never noticed them.

“How about I love you a little more?” Tan Yanran was not angry, smiling coyly as she asked Wei Yuxun.

Some had already begun calling Chen Ao “Leader Chen,” hoping he would notice them and demonstrate their loyalty to the same faction as Nangong Jun and the other big shots.

Wei Yuxun covered his groin, his face contorted in pain. He wanted to speak but could not, feeling utterly frustrated, and stared at Tan Yanran for a long time.

Although he didn’t know much about Guan Lina’s background, he was certain it was impeccable, her pedigree pure and proper.

After some thought, the Third Princess shifted topics, “We’ve left the capital, and so has Lord Jiang. I wonder how far they’ve traveled now?” The Lord Jiang she referred to was Jiang Chen, who had just been assigned to an external post as a magistrate in the north.

He willed his mountain seal to emerge from the Jadeite Space, ready to be summoned at any moment.

The monkey turned and left. The three in the room exchanged glances; the wealthy young master continued to grumble and complain until the footsteps faded into the distance.

Zhang You let out a startled sound, nearly losing his breath—how could he forget this detail? He glanced at Ruolan, who was suppressing her laughter and looked very pleased. He glared at her fiercely: “You little brat, we’ll settle this later.”

Although they all believed the old man would protect Zhu Xiongying, his bold maneuver left them bewildered.

In Wang Yu’s heart, even after the Crown Prince was dethroned, he felt no strong attachment to who would become emperor.

Everyone was once young; Boss Li looked at his own brother and the brother-in-law before him. Would all those old grudges and love affairs from their youth be carried to the grave?

Chairman Wang, as a representative of the outsider investors, held considerable sway in the boardroom, even influencing the chairman’s decisions.

Especially with the last sentence, she lifted her chin and offered a devastatingly enchanting smile.

“No way, you’re that accurate? You even know I’m pregnant?” Chen Shujing widened her eyes, proudly straightening her barely three-month baby bump.

So, even though Li Zhou grumbled about Chen Jie’s broken promises, deep down he did not truly resent Chen Jie.

Sitting on the sofa beside him was Mr. Qin, whom he had only just met at the banquet table.

After dinner, Cheng Yi left the Shen family with Lu Sinan. Shen Zhiyu watched TV in the living room for a while, then prepared to go upstairs.

He quietly wiped away his tears, set Coco down, and decided it was best to discuss the matter with his father-in-law first.

Zheng Xiang understood this well, so he would never reveal the truth to the emperor. The Princess Royal, driven by personal spite, wanted to kill Zheng Wanyan, but such an act would certainly disrupt the emperor’s plans, so she dared not speak honestly either.

It’s evident that the Four Ancient Families and the Four Ancient Divine Clans have solid reasons for their absolute supremacy among the great powers.

In an instant, Buddha’s radiance flooded the scene, and both the hundred-level Bodhi realm before Qin Duyia and the Qianyuan Divine Lord vanished without a trace.
