Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Real and the False Heiress

“If I must say what I want,” Mu Jinnian paused, resting his chin on his hand as he looked earnestly at Huai Ying, his expression serious. “I want you to be happy, to have your wishes fulfilled.”

It was as if fireworks suddenly exploded in his chest.

Huai Ying felt as if all she could hear was her own heartbeat.

She stared blankly at him, unsure of the strange emotion stirring deep within her.

Unable to contain herself, she asked softly, “Why?”

This unexpected scene terrified Tina, who was closest to Carle. She had never seen Carle reveal such a side before.

Having been ignored by him once again, Su Baiyu looked at the messages on her phone with a forlorn expression, her fingertip absentmindedly rubbing the screen over and over.

If it were about the dock business, Henry could have kept either Stanley or Rahul, but there was no way Rock would stay. If Rock didn’t go with Henry, then Henry would rather resign.

Rather than being driven by sentiment or conviction, they simply hoped for a chance to seize the fate bestowed by Heaven’s will.

“Sorry, sorry,” a modest-looking middle-aged man beside the burly man awkwardly nodded to everyone, tugging the burly man back to his seat while muttering low words that were indistinct but clearly stern.

As for the third point... because the show hadn’t gained much attention beforehand, those who participated didn’t care about rankings or camera time; they treated it like a game and threw themselves into it wholeheartedly.

Li Tianhao had carried out missions around the world, sleeping wherever the land and sky allowed. Tonight, he decided to rest beneath the Glazed Bridge.

After Shen Chengcheng took the stage, other newcomers followed one after another. Some sang, others danced, rendering the singer rather redundant.

When bathed in the glow of the rosy light, Cangmang felt an unprecedented comfort, as though possessing this seed meant he no longer needed to exert effort—he could lie back and enjoy the blessings.

“Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhang Ming, head of the PR department. Li Tianhao, Wu Gang, you’re new employees under my supervision. You’ll obey from now on, understood?” Zhang Ming said arrogantly.

Bu Qianhuai wandered leisurely near the Tongtian Sword Domain for two days before Ye Fei delivered a letter into his hands. The Pursuit Command naturally had access to the court’s assembly details, as they oversaw the entire Lelang Path.

This was the first time Li Jiang witnessed such a soul-stirring attack—the full force of a Fifth-Rank Grand Xuan Master’s strike seemed capable of tearing the heavens and splitting the earth.

Yang Yunhan faced the sixteen bronze figures formation—though lifeless, its power was far more terrifying than living formations. When he steadied himself, the back of his robe was soaked, and his internal energy showed signs of depletion, a result of exerting two consecutive “Tiger Wing Dragon Flight” techniques that drained him greatly.

After running for a while, thick mist suddenly rose in the distance, obscuring the bright moonlight. The figure of the Wind-Cleaving Blade assassin flickered in and out of sight.

Yang Yunhan admired Elder Xuanhe’s exquisite skill in his heart and hurriedly shifted from offense to defense. His palm movements changed, layering with utmost precision. The “Dragon Armor Divine Art” in the “Earth Bearing Stance” spread out like the steady earth itself, continuously repelling attacks from all directions of the “Two Principles Four Symbols Sword Formation.”

Next came the evacuation of NPC town residents and the sale of their homes. Naturally, all sales were managed by the Murong family. Afterward, Lao Jiu sold most of the Dream City’s assets belonging to the Heavenly Beyond to the Murong family.

“Elder, what do you intend to do?” Smith could sense the determination in the elder’s voice and felt a bit anxious.

This was a matter concerning the entire Bai family’s future. Even though Bai Chenhao’s injuries hadn’t fully healed, there was no time to waste.

“You guessed it right. Dogs have been going missing lately, so I suspect someone’s been stealing, killing, and selling them,” Amanda said.
