Chapter 108: Merely the Most Insignificant Ability (Part One)

Xu Changmao cast a cold glance at Fifteen, who followed behind Yun Shuang with an anxious expression, and scoffed, “They say a gentleman is not the same after three days apart, and it’s truly impressive. Lady Yun not only wears new clothes now, but even has a personal maid at her side. Many concubines in wealthy households don’t enjoy such treatment, and I haven’t heard of Lady Yun marrying anyone. I wonder, which lofty branch has Lady Yun managed to climb recently?”

Fifteen’s face changed dramatically.

Clearly, this man was mocking her.

If one could cross that threshold, then the world would be theirs to roam freely. If not, the only outcome was utter destruction.

Most of those taken into the palace for questioning in the past two days had been on account of Cui Cheng’s affair. Could it be that Mu Changyun was also implicated?

Years of experience had made Marusei Kosuke as steady as an old hound, while the fiery and volatile Moksha unleashed every blow with wild abandon, like the clash of water and fire.

Given the current production rates, this batch of machines, combined with the assembly line, could barely achieve a daily output of fifty thousand.

“I’ve noticed you understand me more and more these days,” Ouyang Liuxiang suddenly freed one hand to grip Gu Ruomei’s chin, leaning in to press his lips to hers. Yet before he could touch her lips, she abruptly turned her face away.

Moreover, with so many black fans, countless people were waiting for Pei Yu to make a fool of herself, and Pei Nuoyi would frequently send Pei Yu’s scandals to the trending topics.

Fortunately, Lu Jinyu didn’t dwell on the matter either—mainly because she feared the answer might be yes, and then what would she do? Though she had ample experience rejecting others, in the face of the irresistibly charming Feng Chenghong, she wasn’t sure she could remain immune.

Before she had even stepped off the last stair, a crowd of people, faces beaming with smiles, swarmed forward in an attempt to befriend Lin Xingxin.

The Pei Yu he knew was never one to act impulsively, let alone do something so absurd.

Halfway down, he forcibly steadied himself, flipped once in the air, landed on the ground, and skidded several meters before coming to a halt.

Xiao Ye knew what Lin Bixiao was thinking—he, too, felt a twinge of worry in his heart, which was why he hadn’t calmed Lin Bixiao right away.

He was surprised to find that someone had been here. Though nothing inside had been moved, he could sense that someone had stayed in his room.

“Boss, shouldn’t we search this room thoroughly? There might be something strange hidden here!” Zhao Tuo frowned—he was the type who, whenever he felt uneasy, had to find the cause and eliminate it.

The Taiji diagram, formed by the Sacred Oblivion Seal and condensed black qi, had slowed its rotation under Mo Wen’s assault. Thankfully, Yoya’s black dragon pearl blocked most of it, sparing Xiao Qi from even graver injuries.

“Kaiwood Wolf, you’re ruthless! I don’t want these awakened ones today, there will always be more in the future! Hmph!” With these harsh words, Demon Gold Goat turned and fled.

The Ice Arrow struck him square in the chest. Zhang Ziye realized that this was not an archer’s skill but a mage’s spell. Seeing himself slowed, he dodged immediately.

Perhaps only at such moments did she feel grateful for her mother Qian Jiaolan’s strictness, which allowed her to remain unflustered in the face of adversity.

The sudden departure of Archbishop Redis—could it be because he discovered the Black Grindstone on Lady Di, or was it truly due to some internal matter within the Holy See?

Although Uncle Snow Night wasn’t part of the original plan, he insisted on coming along under the pretense of looking after everyone, so they had no choice but to let him join.

“I’m fine now, aren’t I? I promise it won’t happen again, all right? Have Huan Yu and Xu Wei returned? How are they? Are they alright?” All I care about now are those two—after being away for over twenty days, it feels as if we’ve been apart for years.
