Chapter 66: The Case from Twenty Years Ago (Part One)

To everyone's surprise, Scholar Kang was actually traveling by carriage! If he had to resort to a carriage, he was certainly heading somewhere quite far. The group exchanged glances. Yang Yuanyi quietly muttered, “Forgive us,” then stepped past Madam Zhang and went straight into their house to look around.

However, after quickly searching the entire place, they found nothing of use. In the end, they had no choice but to bid a tense and indignant Madam Zhang farewell and leave.

I had no grounds to argue at all. Rather than continuing to spar with her, I might as well agree. Wasn’t it just fetching clothes and carrying bags for Zhong Lili? I’d done similar errands for her before.

Consort Rong and Prince Xi had always been on good terms with the prince, so he went to Consort Rong’s palace to seek her assistance.

“Wow! Zijun, your knife skills are amazing,” she exclaimed. Handsome, skilled in cooking, and running a successful company—how could Lu Yu’an possibly say no to such a man?

If it were only one or two slime creatures, I would be fearless. But before me stretched a dense horde. If each one spat at me, I’d be corroded to death—the result would be gruesome, perhaps even beyond recognition.

I nodded in agreement, but what Feng Haoran said next left me astonished. He explained that Yun Xian’er’s surge in power back then was partly due to the Serpent Demon Taishui. When the Serpent Demon perished and its soul began to dissipate, Yun Xian’er devoured its demonic core in one gulp.

Li Chang’an had also inquired briefly by phone. In fact, the deceased and the suspects had no connection whatsoever to Zhang Suxuan—it was purely an official matter.

After the New Year, villagers took turns inviting Dabao to their homes for meals. In this way, under the care of the villagers, Dabao grew up day by day. With excellent grades, he was admitted to Wild Grass Township Middle School, marking the start of his life living away from home at school.

I thought Zou Yan was joking with me, but then I saw the bath towel really was laid out on the table by the bathroom door—she hadn’t taken it inside. There was nothing to be done; she had spoken, and I couldn’t let her freeze inside with nothing on.

“At home, everyone always keeps a tight rein on me. I have no freedom at all. When I left, it was just because I had a quarrel with my family. That’s how I got separated,” Sanaito sighed.

When Xuemo reached the hundredth step, he chose to walk on air, maintaining a hair’s breadth above the ground. It wasn’t his own decision; at the hundredth step, his body had already sunk deeply into the stone.

“But if both sides support it, isn’t that a contradiction?” Liliana might have had more talent for alchemy than her sister, but in the art of scheming, she was clearly lacking.

Not good! A chill ran through Yang Ming’s heart—the man had disappeared in the very direction Tang Qingning had gone. Yang Ming hurried after him at top speed.

At this moment, Cheng Hai had already told the old man to stop protecting those people. Since Gu Chen and the others wanted to kill them, they might as well just let them do it.

“All right, Mom, I admit I was wrong, isn’t that enough? I really have something urgent, I’ll come see you another day, okay?” A pair of purple eyes and hair shaded from black to violet—those were the trademarks of the Moon Wolf Clan.

The disciples cheered. This time, Huang Xiaotian had fought so fiercely that the three great sects were left speechless. They had witnessed it with their own eyes—Huang Xiaotian was no longer just a disciple, he was a legend.

As for those who had run away from home, there was even less hope. With that level of intelligence, the word “escape” hardly applied to them.

As soon as the young man finished speaking, a terrifying force erupted from his body, spreading in all directions.
