Chapter 53: How Do You Know I Can't?

With a solemn expression, he said, "The Princess's condition is not very optimistic. Currently, the Seven-Day Gu and the dark poison within her have both flared up and are fighting each other inside her body."

"Master Qin, I know you are a grandmaster expert, but our Chen family also has several quasi-grandmaster experts!" Chen Jingjing said anxiously.

"This disciple greets the elders!" Perhaps unaware of the tense atmosphere among the five, this disciple directly kowtowed and paid his respects.

"Uncle Chen, didn't I tell you? A miracle worker who brings the dead back to life, Daoist Xuanzhen is truly a person of great ability, not someone to be compared to those crooked and heretical paths!" Jiang Shaocong said with a smug expression.

"If I do as you say, won't I lose my life the moment I step out of this courtyard? What difference would that make from dying right here in this courtyard?" Ding Ning voiced his uncertainty directly.

The twenty-five victors drew lots once again, though this round would feature a bye.

Although Patriarch Tianji desperately wanted to help Li Changfeng, he knew that going there himself would only be a burden rather than a help. Therefore, commanding the grand army became his assigned task.

However, his subordinates merely looked at each other in dismay, completely devoid of any clues. After all, Ao Tian rarely interacted with their young master, and the other party's movements would certainly not have been explicitly disclosed to them.

"How did you know?" This time, Lala could not remain calm either, as he had only learned of it after arriving here, never expecting this junior to know the moment he stepped foot in the place.

Si Qianqian made a phone call, and it rang many times before someone finally answered.

As for how monumental the credit was, speaking of it, it was all due to the good deeds done by Zhang Hao. Remaining anonymous, Zhang Hao had quietly retreated after solving the problem without seeking any reward, leaving the merit to fall upon her and Bureau Chief Sun.

Wu Yang turned around with a face full of surprise—well, actually, everything was already under control. If Shui Bi had truly insisted on leaving, Wu Yang certainly would have forced himself upon her.

Next, led by Father Lu, the four members of the Lu family stepped across a brazier first, sprinkled a bit of water over themselves using pomelo leaf branches before entering the courtyard, and finally lit firecrackers to wash away all the bad luck brought back from the hospital. Only then were they allowed to enter the house.

"Ha! Thanks, Boss!" Qin Kai and Chen Haiyang shouted excitedly. Qin Kai even gave a crooked salute, clearly thoroughly drunk.

Heavy clouds blocked the last faint rays cast by the crescent moon, and a creeping fog gradually rose, lending an ambiguous mystery to the gloomy night. The world fell under the dominion of darkness. From time to time, the cawing of crows pierced the night sky, hoarse and shrill.

What Chen Shi said was "I like you," but I understood he wanted to say "I love you," yet the word "love" was simply too difficult to utter. As for "liking," I certainly liked Xu Yi, and Chen Shi had known that for a long time. But liking and love are not the same thing.

Not knowing that none of this was real, and never having given these questions a single thought, they believed whatever authority told them to believe.

When Mother Lu saw the dazzling red of the red coral, which dyed the entire basin of water a brilliant crimson intertwined with glimmers of silver flowers, presenting a mesmerizing sense of beauty, her eyes could not help but brim with shifting brilliance.

If Wei Bo were not to step forward, the matter would very likely escalate and even draw the Northern Garrison Imperial Army to suppress it. By then, Ge Fushun would become the ringleader of an armed rebellion. Although the law cannot punish the masses, his life would certainly not be spared.

One could well imagine how terrifying the power of this blade was. If this saber were to strike Jiangheng solidly, the one broken in two would likely be Jiangheng's body.

You Jian wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine, but a single icy glare from Rouxue sent a bone-chilling cold straight to his core! In any case, having read those eyes, he knew this fellow was absolutely someone not to be messed with! It was far better for him to shut his mouth and speak fewer useless words.

The moment the words left his mouth, Yin Yufeng instantly regretted them. How could he have used the word "treacherous"? He truly had no filter on his mouth, and now that he wanted to take it back, it was far too late.

Moreover, Changjiu did not belong to Xie, and the Star Origin Continent did not belong to Xie either. Therefore, in Zhang Xue's eyes, Xie had no qualification to act in such a manner; he had neither the qualification to claim Changjiu as his own, nor the qualification to slaughter wantonly across the continent.

Wu Haining's series of questions could be described as righteous, solemn, and every word ringing with conviction. Judging solely by his words, it seemed impossible to find any room for refutation. Even Sworog and Yu Baihu fell silent, turning to look at Jiangheng as they awaited his answer.

"I've asked about it too. It's not something they acquired of their own accord, but rather a shopping mall that suddenly appeared on their phones and cannot be removed. Even if their phone breaks and they switch to a new one, it remains the same—it seems bound to them and cannot be made to vanish," Elder Long said with a sigh.

Ignoring the Human Emperor's words, Liu Yi continued walking deeper into the cave. It was not that he was deliberately ignoring the Human Emperor, but rather that he was completely incapable of doing so at the moment, as his divine soul could not receive even a sliver of external information at this juncture.

Traditional Chinese medicine is all the more so; it's simply that as one's cultivation deepens, the healing methods naturally become increasingly concise.

Without wasting words, the two sides clashed once again. Just as Leng Jiang had anticipated, his senior brothers merely pursued Ding Yun and the other two while dodging him, requiring no great effort. Whenever his senior brothers drove Ding Yun's group into a desperate plight, Leng Jiang would step in to rescue them. After going back and forth like this for several rounds, Leng Jiang's side consistently remained in the upper hand.

Besides, they weren't using this item every single day, which meant the accumulated exchange opportunities would naturally increase over time, wouldn't they?

Whether in terms of creativity or hands-on ability, let alone them, probably very few designers present could be her match.

Simply tightening his arm, he pulled her even closer—so close that through her thin shirt, he could feel her body temperature.

To sum it up in a single sentence... Mi Xiang's lying and Yun Jingting's eagerness to find out the truth shared only a single motive: both stemmed entirely from "love."

Having seen enough of Yu You's embarrassment, Hu Li began acting considerate again. "Chongming, were we a bit too high-profile just now?"
