Chapter 1132: Controlling [Rules]

Compared to before, when the Eldest Senior Sister had to overhaul his cultivation methods entirely, modifying a mere forty percent this time marked a monumental leap forward for Lu Yang.

After spending so long drafting techniques, he had finally achieved a passing grade.

"Sit down and rest a moment, I shall amend it for you," Yun Zhi said, gesturing for Lu Yang to remain seated.

As Yun Zhi brought out the four treasures of the study, Lu Yang stood by her side grinding ink and handing over the brush, eager to observe how the Eldest Senior Sister refined his work.

Lu Yang watched with rapt attention, while the Immortal Fairy—

Fu Shiyu had loathed her from that very moment, yet the alliance between the Ning and Fu families was not severed by that scandalous affair; Ning Qiao still married Fu Shiyu just as she had wished.

Weiyi had already been nodding off while in the bath, and the moment she touched the pillow, she lost all desire to pay them any mind, simply pulling up the quilt to cover herself completely.

Having already learned the outcome of the match, Wang Yaozu felt an immense trepidation in his heart; by all accounts, with the Shen family having won two rounds, it should now be time for the Wang and Yang families to clash once more.

The two transformed and flew back to the entrance of the cave dwelling, just as twilight began to deepen and the clouds on the horizon burned a brilliant crimson.

Xia Zhiqiu lowered the telephone listlessly, sitting quietly upon the stone steps before the teaching building, her gaze drifting blankly into the distance.

Wang Tiger halted scarce half a meter from Shen Xiang, refraining from driving his fist into her body.

He thought to himself that he would tell Tang Wan'er of this matter upon his return tonight, considering it the final service he could render her before his departure.

Lighting a cigarette, I made no move to take the coffee Auntie Rong offered, for such brews were never to my liking.

Among them, Li Jingjing had the greatest cause for joy, as the company's collective resources were now tilting heavily toward her; her portfolios were entirely standardized, and some of the bonds she held could even be utilized for leveraged trading, meaning the company's profits would now hinge upon the mastery of that leverage.

Qin Yuxin looked at her with relief, but sudden remembrance of Jiu'er's parting words sealed her lips, and she merely wiped the corner of her eye.

Just as a neck pendant was being auctioned upon the high stage, a chillingly detached voice suddenly echoed from a private chamber on the second floor.

A white radiance rushed over her alongside a streak of golden light, and she seemed to hear the steady, resonant thumping of a heartbeat, striking true beat by beat.

"Very well, then for the sake of you being Yang Qishi's disciple, I shall trust you this once." In truth, Han Qiye had never trusted Yang Qishi; their reckoning would have to wait for later.

Prior to this, Qiu Shaoping had only assumed that Lu Chen was concealing his true cultivation level, but only now did he comprehend the primary reason behind the man's formidable combat prowess.

"If that is the case, see to it that you cause me no trouble." With that explanation, Ying Wuhuan's misgivings vanished; though he had known Cang Shu would send aid, he had hardly expected a mere slip of a girl, which spelled trouble.

The squint-eyed man gave a casual shrug. "Fifty-fifty." The Third Prince always spoke the truth; fifty percent was as good as having no certainty at all, leaving everything to the whims of fate.

"Your son has been unfilial, leaving you to wait for twenty long years!" He knew not why his mother, possessed of such strength, had never ventured out to find him but chose instead to wait for his arrival, yet he knew she must have an insurmountable reason for doing so.

As she journeyed through the entirety of the Underworld, even the Yama Kings of the Ten Halls and the Ghost Emperors of the Five Regions bowed and addressed her with reverence as the Imperial Consort.

The Empress was struck with a cold sweat and asked, "Are there truly such tricks to the blood-bonding test? How is it I never knew? It seems one truly must live and learn! Is there really no other way for us?" The Empress inquired, her plans visibly crumbling into dust, leaving her utterly at a loss.

"Master Chef, the artistic conception of your song is sublime, infused with a powerful rock element; it is truly a classic masterpiece destined to be widely sung.

Amidst the laughing and jesting, Jiang Changlan's expression abruptly darkened as he saw that the dozens of assassins who had followed Gao Yi had left behind no corpses, nor even a single severed limb; the ground was pristine, without a single survivor left alive.

"Are you saying they initiated their operations many years ago? That they have been planting 'eyes' among us all this time?" Redshift asked, utterly refusing to believe it.
