Chapter 30: Would the Boss Be Afraid?

Qiao Ruyi saw the flicker of astonishment on Xing Lin's face just as she had hoped.

Xing Lin asked, "You saw this through the rubbing?"

"Yes," Qiao Ruyi replied, her gaze burning as she stared at him. "Are you familiar with these words?"

Xing Lin said, "The words are unfamiliar, but the fact that you can perceive the memories of the dead through rubbings..." He left the sentence unfinished.

Qiao Ruyi, sensing the subtext in his tone, replied with a cryptic smile, "And what of it?"

"My Lord, please wait a moment. Step outside with me; I have an urgent matter to report!" Master Zhu interjected from the side.

At that moment, the Emperor’s decree arrived, ordering them to lead five hundred cavalry to escort the royal carriage to the foot of Liaodong City, where they were to rendezvous with Li Ji and Li Daozong.

"That’s a good boy. Big sister won’t treat you unfairly. Tell me, how did you manage what you did just now?" Mitarashi Anko looked thoroughly satisfied, leaving Yezang at a loss for words.

The Red-Tailed Lizard Dragon was caught off guard by this sudden turn of events. It had been entirely focused on its standoff with the White Ape and had never noticed the two magical beasts feigning death until they sprung to life. Although it was a Martial King and the beasts could not truly harm it, they were now attempting to use their raw strength to topple it.

Countless beams of transparent, colorful light streaked across the starry sky. Suddenly, a gale erupted atop the cliff, extinguishing the blazing campfire in an instant. Gong Qianzhu started, instinctively turning toward the source of the noise.

"You may leave now. The price I intended to extract from you has already been paid. Take your subordinates and go." Xiao Yan’s words left Orochimaru stunned. He had not expected his presence to be discovered, though it was not a discovery in the traditional sense, but rather an intuitive ability to sense those surrounding him.

The match continued, and Li Zhenguo entered the court. Zhao Hui watched him with great anticipation. As soon as he stepped onto the floor, the score began to climb, and the second game reached an 18-18 tie.

"Didn't you say this thing was extremely hard to obtain?" Yezang asked, speechless after a moment of thought.

"What is your name?" the "father-in-law" asked as well. Though he wore a smile, the innate air of authority he carried made Jin Faguang deeply uncomfortable.

Old Man Ye’s heart was in his throat, but Yezang remained uninjured. He had seen it clearly, yet he could not fathom what Yezang would do next.

"The Golden Core is the pinnacle of human elixirs; though it reigns supreme among the Five Elements Inner Cores..." Before the mother dragon could decide whether to leave the cave to find a more spacious area for her message, she was interrupted once again.

However, aside from that morning when things had gone a bit too far, Nan Yumo had made no further untoward advances.

The middle-aged man had once hired the finest sniper among mortals, attempting to assassinate his target from a great distance.

Su Qing walked in the lead, dismantling each trap one by one. Not long after they emerged, the stone cave collapsed entirely. Fortunately, they had gotten out early, or he would have perished there before he could assist in his ascension to Buddhahood.

"What do you think? You’re a top student from Lin University, yet a mere trip to Seattle has you this distressed? Does this do justice to your alma mater's investment in you?" Xia Ning said.

Because bamboo is lightweight and hollow, it produces a crisp sound, making it a common material for musical instruments. This also leads to the distinct flaw of bamboo houses: the sound of opening and closing doors or striking the walls is exceptionally loud. If one is feeling sentimental, one could even tap out a melody of "High Mountains and Flowing Water" on the walls from within.

"If you don't mind, why not come with me, old woman? I have some vegetables at home I can serve you," the old woman invited.

"I don't like it." Beibei fussed, trying to take them off. These shoes were ten percent off, but they still cost over nine hundred yuan.

For the embassy to mobilize like that, it could only mean something had happened to Jiang Hen. The military certainly could not send anyone, as that would risk international diplomatic disputes, so they had to conduct a secret search.

Cao Song had taken the Cao family’s entire fortune with him, and when Cao Cao raised his army, he naturally found it unavoidable to resort to certain illicit means at times.
