Chapter 29: Purchasing the Blueprint

Su Ya returned to the highway at 7:30 in the evening; it was already dark. There was no mileage to cover today, nor were there any crates to scavenge. Not wanting to waste her time, she took out her Nightmare Hotel Infinite Teleportation Card, ready to head to the Nightmare Hotel. Thirty seconds after she clicked "Confirm Teleportation," the mist beside the highway had not vanished. Su Ya: ? What was going on today? Was the teleportation card buggy? Refusing to believe it, she clicked it twice more.

Returning to the Liang residence, the house was empty. Qiao Yu went up to the second floor and entered their bedroom. The moment she pushed the door open, she saw Liang Jingrui sitting in a chair on the balcony.

He was not like other cultivators who would envelop their entire bodies in true energy or magic power when fighting, serving as both a defense and a boost to their attacks.

After all, they were soldiers he had raised. The Empress Dowager wanted them all to starve to death so she could replace them with her own people, but he would not be defeated so easily.

Watching Tang Wanwan cradle the necklace in a daydream, a flash of sarcasm appeared in Liang Cheng’s eyes. That glass room was a place Mother Liang had solemnly warned her about on her very first day. She wanted to see exactly what position Tang Wanwan held in Liang Jingrui’s heart.

Hong Wudi stood at his side, looking quite smug as he said, "Can’t you fight? Let’s see how many of you I can take. Kneel down and apologize to me now, and perhaps I won't cripple you today."

For a moment, it seemed as if a black rain had fallen, leaving the temple gates covered in a layer of dead bats.

Because accurate knowledge of immortal and divine studies was scarce, Professor Fugan had almost nothing left to teach during the final week of the fourth year. Professor Fugan and Lin Han sat on the mountaintop, letting the cold wind blow over them.

Qingqing watched the stubborn camel, eventually looking away as it ate. Soon, its stomach began to rumble, accompanied by flatulence. Qingqing covered her nose and turned her head away, only to hear a sudden, watery sound of diarrhea; the wretched camel had eaten something that disagreed with it.

"Political infighting—a necessary stage for any intelligent species. You all understand that well, don't you?" Yifeng scanned the representatives in the conference room, and everyone bowed their heads in succession.

Uncle Zhong naturally knew Ma Ruyu's identity. Although he disliked the Second Master arranging a marriage for the young master, the young master had been solitary for so many years. He hoped the young master would have a companion, and besides, the Murong family needed to branch out and flourish; the young master needed to marry.

The towel had already cooled, and Zhou Sicheng felt a chilling sensation wash over him. He shook his head groggily, muttering, "En-en, Gu En-en, leave Ji Feili... leave him... En-en..." He reached out blindly, fumbling for his phone in a daze.

If she really ascended the throne, would there still be a place for him? At this thought, Haerluo burned with rage and slammed his palm heavily onto the table.

Ouyang Yunsu suddenly attacked, but Ouyang Haoxuan’s reaction was not slow; he instinctively pushed Yun Yuexi toward Chu Chu before barely dodging the punch Ouyang Yunsu had thrown.

Han Xiao sighed, watching the carriage slowly pull away. Lian Yan leaned back in the carriage, thinking idly that she might be able to sneak away to the hut later to see if the master was there.

Ling Lan collapsed onto the mattress, exhausted, like a deflated balloon. Recalling the interview during the day, Mo Zhicheng had not said a word. Ling Lan knew she had taken a risky gamble! The only impression that man left on her was that he was hidden too deep—a depth that was truly bottomless.

As it turned out, Ouyang Haoxuan had not been in the capital precisely because he had personally taken men to the place where the Crown Prince had hidden the gold and jewelry he had amassed.

Wanying was stunned, then bid farewell, "Thank you for your kindness, General Hu. I, I have matters to attend to, so I must take my leave. When the opportunity arises, I will return to your estate to thank you and your wife." She turned and walked away without looking back.

"No! I am not going back!" Jiang Yuqing shook her head firmly. She had spent so much effort persuading Yan Wushuang to bring her to the Eastern Lan Kingdom; now that she was here, she would not leave so easily.
