Chapter 40: Cousin, surely you aren't trying to be the other man to a female, are you?

In the past, Yun Fu had never attended such banquets or gatherings, as she lacked psychic power and feared being ridiculed. Because people had only ever heard of her reputation for mistreating her beast-husbands and spending money like water, they already held a poor opinion of her and were all too ready to believe Su Nianwei’s words.

Lin Xiya scrutinized Su Nianwei. "The person hasn't even arrived yet. Are you saying these things to ruin someone’s reputation, or are you laying the groundwork for something else?"

She wondered if this woman was planning to stir up trouble at her banquet.

"Your mother-in-law will surely appreciate your intentions. The night is deep and the dew is heavy; I shall escort you back, Your Highness." Jing Rong felt that his princess’s words carried a mocking undertone. He took off his outer robe to drape it over her, leaving himself in only a deep-colored inner garment, and guided Mu Xuefu away by her shoulder.

"It’s alright, it’s alright. Take a moment to rest and catch your breath before we continue." Seeing him gasping for air, Tang Guo hurriedly signaled for him not to rush and to collect himself first.

Honestly, the snot-nosed man’s way of expressing himself was often highly ambiguous. Knowing full well that people tend to judge others by their appearance and take things out of context, he still chose to express his emotions in such a way—it could only be said that he lacked the emotional intelligence to interact with others.

Xia Zixuan spoke coldly, waving his hand to seize the spatial rings from the severely injured men on the ground. Without even sparing them a glance, he continued walking upward.

This was a large public general hospital. Closest to the parking lot was an outpatient building, its entrance teeming with crowds. One could easily imagine the chaotic and congested scene inside. Looking at the people squeezing in and out of the doors, Tang Guo felt a slight headache at the prospect of the situation they were about to face.

The bloody incident ended on a sour note, casting a shadow between the Blazing Wind Clan and Xia Tian’s Glory Squad. Xia Tian instructed two robots to follow Mina and her younger brother to protect them, preventing anyone from the Blazing Wind Clan from seeking secret revenge.

Ming Yue remained silent, unable to give her consent, as this involved the safety of the Great Ming and was beyond her authority to decide.

Having said this, he did not wait for any reaction from the others and was the first to rise and walk out. The rest were caught off guard by Qin Cang’s sudden reaction and stood there in a daze for a moment. Only Tang Guo was not overly surprised; after dealing with Qin Cang for a few days, she felt as though her own mental fortitude had strengthened.

Although Wang Gui rarely saw his illegitimate son, his affection for him remained undiminished. Upon hearing the tragic news, he wished he could skin Wang Xingxin alive, which was why he had been nitpicking everywhere.

Yes, we were all wrong. Although I have yet to prove anything, my subconscious thinking has gradually brought me into the right state of mind. Sometimes, a sudden realization happens in just a split second.

I quickly swapped my Summoner Spell for Exhaust. With this god-tier ability in hand, his plans would be completely shattered. I truly don't know where he got the confidence to pick Zed; even I have never had the slightest thought of doing so myself.

As the voice faded, Agatha vanished in an instant. The next moment, everyone realized she had appeared behind Joey, her long sword gleaming with a ghostly light as it struck toward him like lightning.

"Mr. Gu, lead a team to the east. Lei’er, lead your men to the west. You must conduct a thorough search for this scoundrel’s whereabouts," Duanmu Wuji continued to issue orders.

While many were worrying about Ron, he had already left the academy and returned to the Valley of the Undead.

At this moment, Long Tian was not out for a morning run; he had teleported to a deserted beach. He flicked stone after stone from his hand, sending ripples across the surface of the sea as they vanished into the distance.

Hua Erbo grabbed You Luo by the neck, straightened his slumping posture, raised his hand, and brought it down heavily onto You Luo’s backside.

Among those present, some had expressions suggesting they had known all along, while others—like Long Tian—remained completely oblivious.
