Chapter 41: The Chess Player

"Fish need bait to bite," Wenlun reminded.
"They've already bitten."
"Have strangers been visiting your estate recently as well?"
"It would seem we are indeed their targets."
"Knock, knock, knock..."
The matron knocked and entered, followed by a woman in purple holding a pipa and wearing a veil.
The woman also had a sword strapped to her waist. Jin Zhong asked, "Is this the matron—"
But times have changed; transmigrators with systems are the current mainstream. Qi Beihan watched as members of the Ye family filed out one by one, finally catching Shangguan Yuxue's indifferent glance directed at him.
To be precise, the focus of everyone's attention was Jiang Heng alone. Although Tu Hao and the other three stood with Jiang Heng, they were completely ignored by everyone.
The destination is France. Upon arrival, they will be given brand-new identities, spend a short while there, and then disperse with twenty million converted into Euros.

Now, after more than half a year of cultivation, her soul power rank has increased by 1 level once again, making her a 93rd-rank powerhouse-type Titled Douluo.
The two sides have not yet signed a contract. If he wanted to... it is not entirely impossible, so his gaze drifted unabashedly toward her chest.
Since he had already accepted Xue Qinghe as his disciple, Ning Fengzhi naturally laid his cards on the table, representing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in supporting Crown Prince Xue Qinghe from top to bottom.
For once this technique is unleashed, all sounds die away and everything in the vicinity is obliterated, draining life force exponentially, leaving only Yunlan herself unaffected.
It could even be said that they might be regarded as resources by those men. Therefore, to survive on this deserted island, they either had to become strong or find a powerful support.
A customer who harbored romantic intentions toward her—had he cared about her even in the slightest, he would not have let her tag along.
His heart was filled with shock. On the surface, Wu Kuang looked completely unharmed, but what was the actual situation? Ye Chenzhou had no idea in his heart.
She hurriedly put on a smile and then, acting coquettishly, sat down next to Yin Zhijiang. "Old man, this matter was my fault. Don't be angry anymore. I shouldn't have acted like a child!" She quickly patted Yin Zhijiang on the back.
Looking at the two old men making such an abrupt remark, Ye Chen is somewhat bewildered. What on earth is this "Double-Spear General"?
But at present, he had nowhere left to retreat. He could only stall, buying time in the hope that Ye Yan would arrive sooner.
Setting up a roadside stall, as the name implies, means placing the items you want to sell in an open space; it's the kind without a storefront. Although he could imagine that scene, Yin Yihang was simply unable to comprehend it.

Li Jing glanced at the dazed Master Xuanzhi, said nothing more, and descended directly beside the white elephant. He then extracted a yellowish-brown beast core the size of a human head from its body.
Changxi was perhaps truly too exhausted. Li Jing kept watch over her until nightfall, yet she still showed no sign of waking up, so he simply decided to begin the upgrade process for the "Divine Dragon's Breath."
Yet the one she loved in her heart was a member of the Leng family, while she belonged to the Yin family. How could she bear to watch Leng Qingyi feel so heartbroken and sorrowful?
Feigning ignorance and diligently performing her daily chores of clutching the bedsheets and gripping the railings failed to keep this mischievous little monkey in bed either.
Meanwhile, Ancestor Xueming had been observing from the side for so long that he must have already figured out their backgrounds entirely.
Qiutong brought over the food box, lifted the lid, and saw that it was entirely filled with broths—peanut and trotter soup, black chicken soup, fish soup—even greasier than the soups she had drunk before. Especially the trotter soup, with a thick layer of oil floating on the milky-white broth, and at this time, salt or seasonings could not be added, forcing her to drink it plain.
Thus, after eating a little something in the apartment, Zuo Lin spent the entire afternoon letting Yan Yingxue drag him around on a wild run. Naturally, the quiet and loyal Jin Xiaohua followed closely at all times.
