Chapter 1218: Honest People Are Always Reasonable

Manggu sat up in a daze, pondering seriously for a moment before confirming that this was indeed no dream.

The reason was simple enough: he lacked the imagination to conjure such a dream.

"Brothers, I didn't understand the ways of officialdom back then and offended Prefect Lu, which is why he's always disliked me, but we can't just arrest him because of that."

Meng Jingzhou flashed a thumb up, gesturing for Manggu to set his mind at ease: "We followed the rules and regulations to the letter; it is the Prefect himself who has a problem."

Fede also noticed that General Derek, who had previously clashed with Commander Satnam, had also appeared inside the command tent. This Derek, who was in charge of supplies, had always claimed that the food and weapons under his jurisdiction were abundant, and that for any plan or arrangement, one need not worry about provisions and armaments but could spend them with absolute abandon.

"Did they really seek you out?" Wu Yanran knew that Xiangyue and Ouyang Tianhua had looked for Ye Feng moments ago, though at the time, she had assumed it was merely for the ongoing meeting.

The only commendable thing was that Jin Kai's efforts were never less than before, and this remained the sole reason he was still outstanding.

Thinking of Ling Yueming's death, of Ling Xu's sacrifices, and then of the disciples of the four great sects who had perished this time, Ye Feng truly could not find it in himself to blame these people for what they had done to the Starry Sky Sect.

"Let us go, take us to see that sinkhole, and while you are at it, tell us what happened," Su Wu said directly.

Using a fireball technique against a cultivator of the same level was completely useless, though it worked wonderfully for slaughtering mortals, which was exactly what Zhao Wuxian had done back then.

Ever since Yang Chong reached the seventh rank, he had been pondering these questions constantly. Gradually integrating the "Dharma Idol True Form" belonging to his sixth rank, as Yang Chong explored step by step the transition from others' sixth rank to his own seventh rank "Glazed Golden Body," his path became clearer and clearer owing to his prior experience.

"Perhaps it really isn't on them, or maybe this bandit never managed to get his hands on our things in the first place," the Academy Director replied.

Hou Zhenshan revealed his true form, a millennium-old violent ape; like a child playing with dolls, he stomped and tore, ripped and pulled, destroying those indestructible robots until they were a wretched sight to behold, and he seemed yet unsatisfied when he finally returned to Lian Sheng's side out of sheer necessity.

The two figures hovering mid-air watched the receding rotorcraft in silence, their thoughts a mystery to all.

At the dining table, Harry had no appetite whatsoever, while Ron gleefully snatched the last beef pie from the platter, his mouth stuffed completely full.

Then the Empress Dowager and the Emperor boarded the carriage once more and arrived at the Prince of Guangping's manor, where the Prince arranged for them to stay in the finest eastern wing.

In fact, taking advantage of this brief interval to perfect the Agricultural Research Institute and the Garrison Cultivation Guards, and then truly commencing the planting next spring, would also be a fine thing.

Of course, the final point was the organization and discipline of a modernized army, which was also key, though it was of no use to bandits.

Su Miaojing spoke in a gentle, soft voice, "Old housekeeper, and the rest of you, haven't I said before that there is no need to bow when you see me?" As she spoke, she helped him up, along with a maidservant beside him.

Looking at Chu Yi before him, the Flood Dragon Demon King's eyes were filled with fury, with excitement, and even carried a faint tint of terror.

"I was just about to leave when my head smacked right into a rock." Yang Xu rubbed his head vigorously with one hand, hoping to ease the pain, while his other hand clutched his stomach—or rather, supported his bladder to keep from pissing himself, so agonizing was the torment.

Her artfully smiling, lovely countenance instantly captivated the guild leader, causing him to lose his senses, and his courage swelled accordingly.

He had been fraught with anxiety all along the way here, pulling at his lapels time and again, terrified they were uneven, terrified of creases, terrified that the Emperor would implicate him because of this matter.

Without the slightest hesitation, he suddenly spun around and charged toward a Saint-level dragon currently engaged in battle with the sea race.

"Then how do you wish for me to help you?" Ye Wuda had never witnessed such a bizarre occurrence either, so it was difficult for him to make a judgment at present.
