Chapter 59: Scheming

The car entered the Lu family estate, and the driver parked it. Ning Lu was the first to step out of the vehicle, heading straight into the house without even looking back.

Behind her, Lu Sui watched Ning Lu’s displeased expression, a corner of his mouth curving upward.

Lu Sui hung up his phone, walked into the living room, and ran into Yi Wei, who was arranging flowers.

The two exchanged a glance, then slowly walked upstairs back to their bedroom.

Once the door was closed, Lu Sui pulled Yi Wei into his arms and kissed her repeatedly, bringing a brilliant smile to her face.

Although she thought this way, she did not actually say anything to Ruofei. Instead, they simply asked each other about the parts they had gotten wrong, while fretting over why they couldn't remember things properly. Seeing this from the side, Ruofei thought to herself that her past life's self was probably much the same.

Ruofei opened her mouth to release the hand she had been biting, lifted her foot, and kicked hard into the darkness. A muffled grunt followed by the sound of an impact came from the opposite side; clearly, the person had collided with the bedpost.

"Thirteen, what are your plans now? Shall we go down together first, or rescue the two of them and pull them up first?" Qiu Shasha, standing behind me, also walked up to my side and asked, looking down at me.

"Not bad, the technique is authentic and even purer than the medicine from the pharmacy, though it lacks a bit of refinement." This old doctor did not come from a regular hospital; in fact, his craft had been passed down through his family.

To put it bluntly, Immortal Pavilion was essentially a place that gathered all forms of food, drink, and entertainment under one roof. Anyone, regardless of noble or humble status, could enter, but not everyone could afford the things sold here.

Ah Li would summon three wisps of fox fire to orbit around herself for a time. Whenever an enemy approached, the three wisps of fox fire would randomly attack nearby enemies one by one.

Mo'er was not afraid at all; she reached out and grabbed Chen Ziyang's robe, trying to uncover his face. Chen Ziyang let out a hearty laugh, picked up Mo'er, carried her to the side, and said, "Yuanfang, continue calling out the names of the troops. I'll hold this child for a bit."

"Damn it! What on earth are these things!" Then came a continuous series of gunshots.

"Yes, if they had planned this all along, then the previous situation was completely one-sided, with the Sea Kingdom entirely suppressing the Qin State, by then—" Before Beichen Qing could finish his sentence, Shangguan Hao continued for him.

This was yet another formidable figure—the Commander-in-Chief of the contemporary Tianyun Kingdom's Black-Clad Guards and their supreme commander, Divine Blade Fei the Executioner. As a spymaster, his whereabouts were mysterious, and whenever he struck, it was to kill without leaving survivors, which was why accounts of his deeds were rare.

Jiao Yi understood why Qiuqiu Jiaoran, at the moment of parting, still remembered to instruct him not to take Gui Ma with him when he went to Asking Heaven City.

As for Tong Xinlan, she was taken into a carriage by the others and headed toward the Bai residence in the company of Taoist Priest Qingxu.

The second form of the Imperial Sword Technique was far from being as dazzling as the all-encompassing sword rain. The Meridian-Opening realm experts observing from afar only saw the sword light flash a few times.

Everyone successively praised Gu Shiting and Ji Anning for knowing how to raise children, while secretly resolving that upon returning home, they must warn their families never to spread word about this pair of brothers outside; anyone who spoke too much would be punished severely.

On this day, Gu Yangjing and his brother did not go to the study hall. The three brothers came to keep Ji Anning company and talk with her. Lady Shao came to check on how the floor heating in Ji Anning's room was holding up, just in time to see the mother and her three children huddled together chatting.

Lady Shao's brow smoothed out. She walked over, supported Ji Anning, and said with a smile, "We've set up a canopy in the courtyard. During the day, you can take a walk out there with me."

The impulse that she had managed with great difficulty to suppress once again surged over Su Jinian with overwhelming force. He let out two muffled groans as the previously static images in his mind transformed into dynamic ones.

Lin Feng looked through the pale blue halo at the Soul-Devouring Old Ghost's expression. Yet even that layer of halo could not mask the ashen, dead look on the Soul-Devouring Old Ghost's face.

Yu Lao'ba also found the stench a bit unbearable; he nodded immediately, gave it a strong pull, and tossed it away.
