Volume 1, Chapter 25: My Daughter Became My Colleague

"Mr. Cheng, this is the new secretary."

Li Qiang led Bai Xiaoxiu into the office and stood respectfully to the side.

Ruiying Hall was a secretive entity; one-third of the officials in Dayun hailed from there. Despite the prestigious label of an aristocratic family, the training was almost exclusively handled by Ruiying Hall. Whenever Hua Weiyang thought about how the lifeblood of Dayun was held in such hands, she felt a chill run down her spine. Who could possess such immense capability to manipulate those brilliant talents?

Of course, they were unwilling to remain subordinate to others, so they still exerted eighty percent of their strength.

It was precisely for this reason that those martial artists would risk their lives to enter the Land of Evil Spirits, hoping to discover some rare celestial treasures.

Since Shinnai Tian was so overbearing, the others said no more. After all, he was the one in charge, and he would be the one to bear the consequences if anything went wrong.

Therefore, Baili Yan had been secretly accumulating strength all along, waiting for the right moment to confront Lu Qingmi.

She was sprinting wildly on the path to the heavens, while they, who considered themselves the favored children of heaven, were only fit to watch her from far behind.

"Rest assured, I know what should be said and what should not," the man promised repeatedly.

There were still many powers in this world, and if everyone united, dealing with the threats wouldn't be so difficult. At the very least, the black-clad figures had appeared less frequently to cause trouble over the past two years. Sometimes, they even managed to track down the hideouts of these figures and take the initiative to attack.

However, Qiye, who believed no one could detect his stealth, did not know that Reisen was currently mourning for him. Reisen possessed abilities even more powerful than Qiye's, yet she still could not escape from Lin Xiu. If it weren't for the fact that Lin Xiu was currently enjoying the thrill of the hunt and wanted to play around, Qiye would likely already be lying on the ground.

As the two entered the door, two kunai suddenly flew out from the darkness, striking the ground with a clang right at the guards' feet.

"Of course, this is only regarding my previous mistake, and I will admit to it. However, that does not mean I am surrendering to you." Jiang Xinyu curled her lips into a smile, a trace of domineering spirit appearing on her beautiful face.

But for Lin Fan, since things had already reached this point, what more was there to say? He simply posted the welfare benefits of the orphanage onto Weibo as well.

Lin Mu was suddenly filled with drive; being able to hear Ziyan's voice again was a tremendous encouragement to him.

But this time, no such thing happened. At this moment, he was powerless despite his intentions, and could only watch helplessly as that sword energy struck toward Anna. He knew that Anna would be slain by this strike before she could even realize it was coming.

Grand Princess Qinshui personally escorted Yun Huai out. Seeing that Yun Huai’s two direct disciples were still waiting outside and appeared normal, she curled her lips.

Hmph, just a tea ceremony player; that’s nothing more than a hobby. This lady will not lower herself to beg you over something like this.

A month from now, it would be fine if the Northern Border did not burn down a large number of villages, but if they truly did, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Second Sister, this... how can this be?" Xiao Xichun hurriedly raised her hand, wanting to pull out the hairpin and return it to Xiao Xiwei, but was stopped by her hand pressing down on hers.

When he left the Palace of the King of Qi, the sky was already nearing dusk. The curtained carriage traveled through the streets of Linzi. The surrounding clamor reminded Mingyue of a scene of prosperity, yet he never lifted the thick curtains, for he had more important matters to consult with Lord Pingyuan, who sat in the carriage with him.

She examined the place carefully; it was very tidy, though it faintly emitted a medicinal scent. It was not unpleasant, and to Liu Ye, this fragrance smelled just like perfume.
