Chapter 37: Agreeing to Her

An hour later, Ning Lu’s mouth had gone soft, and she watched Lu Hongyu wearing an expression of pleasure.

Ning Lu cared only about finding out where her younger sister was. Whether Lu Hongyu felt good or not meant nothing to her.

“Where is my sister?” Ning Lu asked anxiously.

“Lu Sui took her,” Lu Hongyu said in a low voice. “More precisely, she...”

Chen Muyun withdrew one hand and gently patted the back of Nan Li’s head, pressing her against his shoulder.

Chen Muyun did not hesitate. He did not want to deceive her, not even with a well-intentioned lie. It would be better for her to face the cruel reality sooner and grow stronger because of it.

“No one can say for sure yet. We’ve only just sent out the materials, and we still have to see which villages are willing to work with us. But I think the few villages nearby should be fine. They’re close to Li Family Ravine and know quite a bit about it, so there probably won’t be any problems.” Wang Ziyan thought for a moment before speaking.

The Cold Toxin illness was not untreatable for Liu Jun. As long as they found enough of the necessary spirit herbs, they could refine a pill. The medicine he had now could delay the onset of the illness, but it could not eradicate the Cold Toxin in her body.

Li Lu was familiar with the sensation of moving at tremendous speed. The difference was that Lu Chen had no supernatural ability supporting him. All he could rely on was his special-forces equipment and his exceptionally skilled control and use of it.

At this point, Lu Bu’er was also extremely clever. He understood perfectly that if they ranked everyone according to their true strength, the Luo and Lian families would certainly take first and second place, while the Sima, Wei, and Zhao families could only fight for third.

“Then why tell me?” Li Lu suddenly grew tense. He knew all too well that learning more secrets was not necessarily a good thing.

However, when she had just seen that he was completely unharmed and showed no sign of dejection, she guessed that he had returned after completing his mission, which was why she had said that. In truth, she knew nothing about what mission Zhao Qiankun had undertaken or whether he had completed it successfully. Since she had run into Lily, she simply decided to ask while she had the chance.

There was not even any heating that evening, and it was so cold that Tang Bing felt she would never have come along if she had known.

Fan Zheng was a management scholar, not a civil engineer. Although he was meticulous by nature, he truly had never noticed that a secret room was hidden inside this building.

“Gouzi, don’t be nervous. Auntie is right. It’s only a dried corpse. No one even knows how many years ago it died. There’s nothing to be afraid of!” San Pangzi opened his wide mouth, raised his voice, and shouted.

When Xiang Yin turned and saw Dai Chun kneeling on the ground, his heart ached. He knelt beside her, forcefully pried away Meng Shaomu’s hand from her shoulder, and angrily began denouncing everyone present.

If they told Yun Xuan Wu Zhong’s true identity, the two of them would certainly not escape death. But if they kept it from Yun Xuan, they would probably fall into his hands tonight.

Han Shuqian had thought these matters would remain buried forever. She did not know why Qi Jingyao had chosen to bring them up publicly here. Twisting her handkerchief, Han Shuqian clenched it so tightly that her fingers reddened.

Cheng Jie swore that he would definitely win back this round, which was why he hastily made such a doomed declaration.

With trembling hands, he gave a military salute. The pilot commander did not even take a sip of water before entering his assigned station.

Zhang Sheng’s gaze began to turn cold as he spoke. Although he knew perfectly well how powerful the white tiger before him was, if the situation truly reached the point where battle was unavoidable, Zhang Sheng would not retreat.

“According to the preliminary statistics, all three hundred elites inside the command center are dead. In addition, approximately one thousand civilians in Bear City were burned alive. The losses are incalculable.” An incident of such magnitude naturally prompted the assistants to ascertain the basic situation immediately and thoroughly.
