Chapter 36: The True and False Heiresses 36

"Huaiying, tell Mom and Dad the truth: did you participate in the research at Elder Tan's institute, or...?"

Father Bai scrutinized Huaiying cautiously, his gaze as unfamiliar as if he were seeing her for the first time. The rumors outside had spread everywhere. His initial disbelief had shifted into a state of doubt. His daughter was merely a high school student who had never passed a single exam. If she struggled to even get into college, how could she possibly have guided Elder Tan in completing his research?

I tried to stand up and move around. Apart from the pulling pain and the itching of the wound, there was nothing too serious; walking was perfectly fine, though it would likely take some time to recover completely.

Although he knew this was only a temporary measure, Bu Liangzi was sincerely grateful; after all, it bought some time for all the disciples of the Qinglan Sword Sect.

"No, I can't do that." Jin Xuansi shook his head firmly. He sat upright, eyes focused on his nose, his restless hands folded and tucked behind his back, looking as obedient as someone waiting for their grandmother's instructions.

The group stopped working and huddled together, whispering and debating until the aroma gradually drifted over, at which point they pouted in frustration.

Is he already this tough at just a year and a half old? Gu Qingyun looked over and saw Pang Xilin's son looking around with great interest, showing no signs of fear at all.

Xiao Yan was overjoyed to learn he didn't have to send his son away. He immediately appointed Xie Ju as the chief envoy and asked if he had any preferred candidates for the deputy position.

Watching the motorcade slowly approach, a smile appeared in Chu Yu's eyes, and he finally let out a sigh of relief.

As he spoke, he had already wrapped an arm around her waist, vaulted into the air with a light kick, and landed outside the hall, walking through the door as if no one else were present.

Lu Ning murmured as if to herself; Lu Shengyuan had already set his sights on the Eldest Princess of Xinyang, and they had to be on their guard.

Qingying frowned, a flash of disdain in her eyes. Is this lowly maid stupid? How was she supposed to respond to an answer like that?

"Roar~" Like a beast unleashed, the body swelled violently once more, bursting through the hound's skin. Finally, the high-level zombie had revealed its true form.

At this moment, they prepared to repurpose the impassable Hell Gate, using the remaining half of the passage to better break through to the world where the spatial ripples were coming from, performing a reverse incursion to escape back to the human realm.

I was surprised by this situation. I wanted to ask Zhou Tong what he was doing, but I was afraid of disturbing him, so I could only stand by and watch honestly.

The socialites and nobles in the hall were trembling in constant fear, but the vampires did not feel the situation nearly as acutely.

Zhou Ming planned to target the monsters that appeared in every episode of Tiga. Since these monsters were destined to die according to their original trajectory, there would be no consequences if he plundered their plane essence.

Jiang He stood where he was, for he had already calculated that the probability of death was the same whether he ran or stayed put.

The villagers all said it was the work of the corpse-snatcher. Even after his mother was buried, the villagers never caught the culprit.

He was now immensely satisfied with Su Chen. If he wasn't satisfied with such a young man, what more could he ask for?

"You have no money left at all?" Yu Chuxuan asked in a voice barely louder than a mosquito's.

"Armed police and SWAT members are already one in a thousand; the exceptional ones among them are one in ten thousand." Old Zhang seemed unable to stop talking once he started; it was clear he held this team member in high regard.

The school was deserted, without a single light. The occasional cold breeze was terrifying, but fortunately, it was the night of a full moon. The moon, like a silver disc, emitted a soft glow that brightened the earth a little.

Dusk! Li Yunxiao strolled leisurely along the cold, empty street, observing this unfamiliar city. Before he knew it, he had arrived at a park with a European-style fountain in the center. This park was near his apartment building; every morning, elderly people would come here to do morning exercises and stay fit.
