Chapter 48: A Faint Sense of Unease
The banquet hall was lively, with guests swarming around Lu Yanfeng, who was the star of the night receiving all the attention.
Ning Lu found a spot in a corner, watching from afar as Lu Yanfeng was surrounded like the moon among stars.
Lu Sui followed closely behind Lu Yanfeng, as if deliberately trying to bask in his reflected glory.
On the contrary, Lu Hongyu stood not far away, mingling with the guests and occasionally taking a sip of the champagne in his hand.
"Why aren't you..."
"It's the nature of my work. You understand, so let's not explain too much," Second Xu said with absolute certainty.
Hearing the boss put it that way, I didn't hesitate. I fished out five yuan and handed it over, then took the air gun and passed it to Lin Qiaoman.
"Both of them are my younger sisters; this one is my own flesh and blood," Lin Cheng stepped forward at this moment to ease the awkward silence, introducing Lin Yan. "The other is an adopted sister, sworn as kin," he continued, gesturing toward Su Junge.
I thought that in this world, I was the only god left! This last sentence was too sorrowful, so she didn't dare to speak it aloud.
His gaze fell upon Su Ying's slender and graceful back, and he laughed desolately. His red lips were like blood, enchanting and peerless. His footsteps staggered, and he instinctively steadied himself against a nearby tree trunk.
Gu Yunmi's arms trembled slightly as she stared in fear at the man in the baseball cap. Li Mingchen held her tightly in his arms, as if imparting his strength to her.
Feign ignorance, Jiang Shaoyou first strolled around aimlessly before closely following them into the electromagnetic control room.
"Forget her; when all is said and done, it's Li Si's business. That guy doesn't even come to gatherings nowadays, so why bother talking about him? Today is all about celebrating for Young Master Xu," said a slightly plump man nearby.
That being said, Uncle Xu, Uncle Shangguan, and Erzhuzi were truly extraordinary. Tombs that others failed to plunder, the three of them managed to crack.
"Zhang Tonglong, remember to manage your Tonglong Guild well this year. I'll be waiting for you in the Inner Sect," Chen Feng smiled at Zhang Tonglong.
"Gao Zhi, don't waste your breath anymore. They are enemies now, get ready for battle." Holding the Rain Cutter, Mu Fengye fixed his gaze on Gao Mu's eyes and limbs. He was a formidable enemy indeed, and they could not afford to be careless.
Some people treat the sword as their very life, yet fail to cultivate a sword heart; throughout their entire lives, the hope of entering the Dao of the Sword remains exceedingly slim. Even Sang Zitong himself, after decades of cultivation, had yet to step onto any major Dao.
Lately, the workload at the First Cavalry wasn't too heavy, and the medical department was quite leisurely. Thinking that a major crisis had just ended and it was a time for people to relax, Mu Fengye nodded in agreement and asked Sakura Ma to contact them.
However, he knew that now was not the time to take the Ningyuan Pill. He took a deep breath, allowing his mind to slowly calm down.
"Mr. Kansawa instructed you to clean up whatever you're carrying on you before you head back," Samusa said to Tianming Dao.
Before taking two steps past the pirate, Wang Hou sliced the pirate directly in two from behind.
That ball of misty radiance was undoubtedly the true soul-consciousness of the Fiendish Spirit. However, at that moment, that true soul-consciousness was clearly extremely weak, as if it had autonomously executed a forbidden technique to detach itself from the soul-consciousness.
Samusa was startled internally, staring in bewilderment at Yang Xiaokai, wondering when he had discovered this matter. In any case, everything was too bizarre; such a thing would be absolutely impossible on Earth.
Possessing such a lofty law of death, if the god before him were willing to remain in the Central Imperial City, aside from a few limited existences like the imperial ruler, he would step directly into the highest core echelon of the dynasty... Facing such an entity, the Ice Skeleton naturally dared not be careless.
Hearing one boss's name after another tumbling from Master Yuchi's lips, Wu Jie widened his eyes in utter shock.
"No way! You have to go, and your friends have to go too! Look at you standing here safe and sound, what hospital could you possibly need to go to?!" Li Yilin's anger flared up again.
