Chapter 56: Pre-determined Selection

After boarding the plane, Jiang Mugui received the passcode to his apartment.

His intention was clear: he wanted her to stay at his place.

She put away her phone and headed straight to his residence to drop off her luggage.

Meanwhile, upon arriving at his own doorstep after returning, Jiang Mugui was greeted by a familiar figure.

The woman looked somewhat haggard. Though she wore light makeup, it failed to conceal the dark circles under her eyes, and she had lost a considerable amount of weight.

Over the past six months or so, Qiao Yarwan and Feng Feng had had their fair share of arguments over the distance between them, making it a rare feat that both of them had managed to hold on.

Just at that moment, the corners of the monster's mouth tilted upward slightly, forming a mocking smile.

The sleazy man sneered, "Oh my, with a chest as flat as yours, a little aloe vera gel would flatten you out completely, and you still have the nerve to hit on me? I wouldn't take you even if you were free."

Just as Bai Mei was about to touch that ghostly radiance, a surging blaze, mixed with formidable profound energy, swept across directly in front of her.

Before them, everything was tightly bound into a dense mass by vines, making it entirely impossible to discern what kind of place this actually was.

"Yan Xu deserved to die, but we certainly weren't the ones who killed him," Tan Yan said as he followed Zhao Qibai to this place, speaking in his capacity as the vice commander of the Guardian Legion.

In merely another split second, Qin Zhao had no time to figure out what on earth had happened, and all those plants that had just been obliterated by the parasitic insects reappeared right before his eyes.

Who was Ouyang Qingxu? As Master Fengxiang of the Imperial Alliance—an equal counterpart flanking the strategist of the Hidden Dragon—seeing the whole through the tiniest details was hardly a special skill for her; it was simply a matter of everyday routine. Therefore, the fleeting moment when Bailianbupo's expression subtly shifted did not escape her watchful eyes.

Master Jueneng's gaze also narrowed slightly. Qin Yifeng had detected that aura even a bit earlier than he had. Although this was partly related to the fact that his current state was not at its absolute peak, it was still enough to prove that Qin Yifeng's strength was no less than his own.

"The Tong family, Fu Xue, it is time for us to settle our old scores as well." Thinking of the Four Great Families, Jiang Yi inevitably recalled Tong Guang and Fu Xue.

After examining Chen Lingwan, she proceeded to check the infant. Although modern advanced equipment was lacking, it posed no problem at all for Hu Qingqing; a simple sweep of her spiritual sense allowed her to ascertain every single detail of their condition.

Such a tremendous commotion could be heard from a hundred kilometers away. Everyone aboard the Divine Might battleship heard the deafening roar and turned to look behind them, only to be struck dumbfounded by the sight of blazing light soaring into the skies in the rear.

Back at the Provincial Party School, quite a few classmates had taken good care of Zhang Jinsong, and Zhao Shihao was one of them.

Witnessing the scene before her, Zhang Min instantly grew as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. If things could go according to her wishes, she truly did not want her older brother to go to war with Han Duan and the others, especially not when it was turning as bloody as this.

"Haha, Linger, when you grow up, older brother will find you a good husband who will certainly grant you shadow and protection," Wang Wei said with a smile.

As for the other members of the Inagawa-kai, their reactions were equally swift. Almost the moment the gunshot rang out, they immediately took cover behind their horses or dropped and rolled onto the ground, concealing themselves in the roadside grass.

"So what if I was bathing? Can't I look? It's not like I haven't seen it before. Didn't you always peek every time I took a bath in the past? Don't think I didn't know," Marni said with a trace of dissatisfaction.

Arthur looked around and discovered that he was in a stone chamber—a stone chamber that appeared to have been abandoned for a very long time. Cobwebs crawled over every corner, and the dust on the floor was deep enough to leave a shallow footprint with every step.
