Chapter 38: Spending Money, the Adorable Little Old Lady

Hua Qing was still a bit dazed by what Song Yu had said, but Song Yu, on the other end of the line, was busy rushing to the hospital to pay her grandmother’s bills and, while she was at it, to secure a better room for her. Therefore, she did not say much more to Hua Qing, simply assuring her that she was not currently in need of money. Hua Qing understood the urgency of the situation and refrained from asking further questions, only telling Song Yu to make sure to reach out if she encountered any problems she couldn't handle, before hanging up. Song Yu rode her electric scooter toward the city.

Liu Qian followed closely behind Bao Cao. Initially, she assumed Bao Cao was acting out of lust and felt disgruntled, intending to voice a few complaints. However, upon noticing that Bao Cao’s demeanor was off, she swallowed the venomous words that were about to spill from her throat.

Lu Huaishen considered it his responsibility. Regardless of the circumstances, the Du family had helped his mother and him during their darkest hour. Du Shengyi had not had an easy life all these years and was burdened with the Du family's debts, so he secretly provided her with some resources.

But on the other hand, he wondered: if she hadn’t actually secured the person, how could Jiang Nuo have boasted so confidently? Once the time came and they arrived at the location only to find no one there, wouldn't she be exposed?

Zhou Sheng expressed his thanks and took the items with a smile. Mo Li continued to rummage through the rest. The backpack was a mess, containing a wallet, identification documents, keys, medicinal pills, and other mundane items. Mo Li examined each one, finding nothing of significance, so he moved on to the items unique to Zhang Ziheng.

"Then why not be my servant? Help me do things," Fufeng suggested with a smile, though there wasn't a hint of genuine consultation in his tone.

Enduring pain that surged like a tidal wave, Chen Mu struggled to swing the long sword in his hand; in this state, he could only offer passive defense.

Feng Jiayu’s mouth hung open. He had assumed that Knife Brother, who had been hacking at people for years, was the true expert. He hadn't expected Bai Ye to take him down in a single blow; the two were simply not in the same league.

"I wonder if he will call me?" Lu Siye stared at the raindrops slowly sliding down the car window, lost in thought.

This was naturally unlikely. Any sect with a history of over a thousand years possessed an Imperial Tutor. If they lacked one, how could a sect survive for so long?

Taking the water, Qi Ping'an took a sip; the temperature was just right. She placed her lunchbox on the dining table, where a vase of lilies stood.

"Lord Jiang, Governor Zhang means that since His Majesty is the master of the Great Ming, he must not leave the court lightly because of military affairs. Such a move is far too risky."

In the distance, Ning Fenghe heard these words, his expression remaining spiteful, but he no longer dared to look at Lu Lan or Ning Canghan.

"I don't know, but Brother Han said you would come. Honestly, he guesses correctly every time. I think he should quit being a doctor and become a fortune teller instead," Princess Yunkai laughed, covering her mouth.

Added to the sweltering heat, the thinness of their attire only made the atmosphere in the room all the more alluring.

A beast-man world launched a rebellion because the Inquisition had been sterilizing them. Guilliman believed the Empire was at fault, so he sent an Inquisitor to negotiate, but they killed the Inquisitor and became determined to rebel.

Qi Ping'an was amused by the images forming in her mind. While she was entertaining herself, she caught sight of a middle-aged man strolling up the stairs. He was wearing a white undershirt and chewing on a toothpick, looking rather seedy.

Although Li Yu did not understand why his master wanted him to kneel, he obeyed and knelt before the figure in black.

That voice sounded like Xie Feifeng! Qi Ping'an did not dare to go further inside and could only watch the situation in the room through the shadows on the wall. Suddenly, a splash of blood sprayed against the wall, and Qi Ping'an instinctively closed her eyes.

Given such experience and his young age, Xiang Yuanwu dared to assert that if Li Mu encountered no mishaps, he would surely achieve great things in the future.

On this day, Su Feng and Chi Yao both emerged from seclusion, only to learn that Yao Rao had yet to succeed, leaving them burning with anxiety.
