Chapter 27: The Empress Dowager and Her Body-Double Young Lover

"Hmph, those who follow different paths cannot make plans together! I have only come today to tell you not to push things too far! You may not care about the Qingliang Pharmacy, but you cannot ignore the reputation of the Ning family, nor that of Ning Jianzhou!" Ning Qixuan rebuked righteously.

Hearing this, Meng Lian hurriedly waved her hand. "Since you are back, I must be going; it is getting late." She had deliberately cooked extra millet rice to ensure both of them could eat well, but she had no intention of staying to eat herself.

Even when the two chatted, if they touched upon the past, they would deliberately steer around it, never mentioning a word.

Upon entering the lobby, she happened to run into Zhou Lin, who was wearing a mask over her mouth. It was unclear whether the injury from her previous fall had healed.

The plane landed at Yunde Airport, the capital of Nan Province. Shen Dan and the other two were returning to Deya, and a car had long been waiting at the airport.

Qi Ye had once had similar thoughts; for those whose lives were fraught with hardship, there was nothing more devastatingly powerful than a pure, vibrant new generation.

Dongfang Liyue happened to be at the academy today, so upon learning the news, she hurriedly ran to notify Su Mo'er, hoping to get her to leave the academy as soon as possible.

At this moment, Su Yixue, seeing that both the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince had left without properly punishing Su Mo'er, stomped her feet in anger.

If it were not for the fact that she had just arrived and possessed almost no strength, she would have long since kidnapped He Cheng.

Knowing nothing, yet trying to climb into his bed and burrow into his arms—this kind of simple, innocent, and naked seduction was just incredible.

Next, starting with the Sect Master, the members of the Qingyun Sect went up one by one to pay their respects. Lu Cheng returned the bows one by one on behalf of Jiang Yi’s nephew. Leng Tianya was a guest. Finally, he brought Ji Dai'er to pay respects to the deceased.

Sitting down, the owner sighed about the days of the past and insisted on treating them to a meal.

"Dong, dong, dong," Song Qing knocked heavily three times, producing three muffled sounds. As they echoed, the surrounding air seemed to congeal.

Jackson had to humble himself to beg Bradley; this was a task assigned by the Pope. Now that the Holy Sword had been lost on his watch, he would be punished upon returning. He still wanted to be the next Pope, and if this matter were not handled well, such a stain would be extremely detrimental to his future.

Duan Zhong's light-body technique was quite good—at least top-tier among those of his martial level—so he could keep close behind Chen Shuai without falling too far behind. In just a moment, the two of them had left the city.

"But it won't always be like this. One day, we will become the people who hold the fates of many in our hands," I patted Yang Chen on the shoulder to comfort him.

I was originally filled with rage; how could I endure his provocation? With that, I stopped caring about the consequences. I cursed in my heart, "Damn it, what kind of trash are you to dare touch my sister? I don't care if you're a shareholder or how much money you have; I'll destroy you first."

Seeing Jin Yutang agree, Qian Teduo did not suspect anything; he was only overcome with excitement, wishing he could hold her in his arms right then and there.

"Enough, enough, stop messing around. Just tell me what you want to do," Jiang Kailan frowned and said.

On the field, the middle-aged man’s figure flickered suddenly, appearing before Xiao Yan and the others in the blink of an eye, smiling.

However, they were relieved in an instant, because the dozen or so subordinates of the Poison Snake were still lying on the ground.

His gaze flickered, and Xiao Yan felt a sense of surprise in his heart. Looking at the jade slip being handed over, he hesitated for a moment before taking it. Following the other's signal, he closed his eyes and injected a wisp of soul power to examine it.

It was as if he were an ordinary mortal in need of his enlightenment. A focused man is always exceptionally charming.

"With all due respect, you have been trapped here for so long. What can you give me? These souls? Sorry, I have no use for them," Ye Wudao said to him.

In the evening, Zhang Shan and Wang Fen came over for dinner, and Li Detian and Luo Guiying also returned home early.

He was not a robber, and the speaker was not his enemy. If the other party were the owner of the Plane Saint Stone, Chen Feng would never have held the intent to kill or rob, even if he wanted to obtain it.

The primitive, thick city walls suddenly ignited with scorching flames. On the walls, the red skin of all the guards turned into layers of magma, churning and burning.

Since he was on someone else's turf, he had to follow their rules. He would just have to walk up the thousand-foot stone steps.

"Second Young Master." Aunt Xin served a bowl for Shangguan Mao as well, and heard Shangguan Ai say, "Isn't there a state banquet tomorrow? Yao'er's dance is enchanting; it would be perfect for her to perform, but she seems a bit reluctant." As she spoke, she lowered her head to drink her soup, stealing a glance at Murong Yao.

No one expected him to do this. After the Wheel of Heavenly Dao was fused, unless it was voluntary or the fused Saint God was killed, it could never be reclaimed.

"Good." Jian Qianqian walked inside, the sound of her high heels clicking, and after she entered, Qiao Yang stepped into the elevator.

Qu Tan'er had changed into a clean dress and sat gloomily on a chair to the side, then swept a glance at the only bed in the room, where a man was closing his eyes to rest.

"Speak." A single, concise word from Mo Liancheng, who sat upright at the table, his entire being exuding coldness.

Shangguan Ji tugged at the corners of his mouth and handed the object in his hand to Lianxin. Seeing that she remained taciturn, he knew there was no room for negotiation regarding her situation with Magistrate Huang, and he couldn't help but feel a tinge of sympathy.

Seeing this, A-Fei leaned over to listen to her whispered instructions, nodded, and said, "Yes, I understand." She then turned and left.

The Beiyang Army under Li Chun in Jiangxi had been battered and bloodied in Fuzhou, locked in a stalemate with the Guangfu Army and the revolutionary forces under Li Liejun, unable to break free. A detachment of the revolutionary army bypassed the rear of Li Chun's forces, turning Nanchang, Jiujiang, and other places upside down, causing untold misery. It was estimated that Li Chun could not hold on for much longer.

"Princess Yun, go slowly; I shall not see you out," Qu Tan'er said blandly, not even looking at Zhao Qingyun as she turned to leave.

Unable to suppress the jealousy in his heart, a remark that should not have been made drew rebuttals from numerous ancestors. Jin Li’s expression was one of embarrassment and anger. Finally, with a cold snort, his figure flickered, and he vanished from the spot in an instant.

But today, Bing Li had unexpectedly appeared in the plaza, and in her words, she seemed to show a hint of affection for Yun Mu, which left the several Supreme Elders of the Shui family unable to recover their wits for a moment.
