Chapter 140 Turning a Profit

However, stopping here might not be a bad thing. Having spent so many years in seclusion, I wonder how my eldest brother and the others are doing now.

Li Jin did not answer directly. Instead, he said, "Since my brother has already made up his mind, why keep us in suspense? Speak your plan to put our brothers' minds at ease." His words signified his general agreement with Xu Guanzhong's proposal.

At this moment, having just returned to the Sacred Body Sect, Ji Hao of the Tiangang Peak was still unaware that after Zhou Chen returned to the sect ahead of him, Zhou Chen had eagerly begun plotting to dig a massive pit for him and bury him alive.

Throughout the entire Berilai Manor, people were coming and going, mostly young folks, with waiters constantly carrying trays of champagne and beer to the guests.

Li Jin nodded and said, "What my brother says is true." Knowing that overthinking was useless, he immediately changed the subject and began discussing with Lin Chong about which general the imperial court might send to lead the next punitive campaign.

"Old thief of the Supreme Dao Court, do you really think you have me in the palm of your hand? Today, I shall use you to test out my new experiment!" Standing on the deck of the Swallowing Origin, facing the martial progenitor of the Supreme Dao Court, Ji Hao hurled a look of utter disdain and provocation.

The regulator inside this UFO was quite magical. She had adjusted it several times, and now her physical condition was exceptionally good. Xia Cuilan was also pregnant, and if she could frequently come here for treatments, it would be beneficial for both her and the child.

Of course, it was still too far to talk about all that; the rookie Yao only needed to adapt to the physical intensity and competition of this league.

As for the Tathagata on the other side, he was currently holding the Chenling Stele, his eyes filled with greed and obsession.

Li Jin led his central elite guards, along with a battalion of cavalry under Xu Ning and another battalion led by Ou Peng, circling around to the left flank of the imperial army. Meanwhile, Lin Chong and Yang Zhi led their cavalry to flank the imperial army from the right.

Qinghuan sighed, feeling that she was truly debasing herself. Even though he had treated her that way, deep down she still believed he was not that kind of person. Hearing that he had been beaten half to death by the Elder Dowager still made her heart ache.

Looking at the village chief who had already rushed out, my eyes were filled with helplessness. At this moment, I had completely become dead weight.

"What did you say?!" Jack's voice rose by an octave. Jack understood the exact reason behind David's elbow strike just now.

"That is precisely what I found strange, so I came to the apothecary to look for the herbs listed in the prescription. Guess what? All the other ingredients were there, but the single most important herb was missing," Ji Huanling paused for a moment.

The process of investigating the bats was arduous, which was evident from the village chief's expression. For over a decade, he had never been able to move past this hurdle. Two villagers had died during that final battle, which was why the houses built afterward were simple wooden structures.

What kind of perils lurked within those dark eyes, they naturally could not know, but given Xin Qijie's character, he would certainly not let them fall into danger.

The clerk's eyes lit up the moment the primordial beast pelts appeared before him. Having been in this business for many years, he could tell at a glance—even though this stack of pelts came from only first-rank primordial beasts—that they were of superior quality, completely intact, and possessed considerable value.

Though he was not participating in the match, a close look into Suifeng's eyes would reveal them to be ablaze with the fires of battle.

Yet, however defying of science it might be, it still escaped. Like a coiled spring, it gave a slight bounce on the ground and vanished into the undergrowth the very next second.

"Five thousand!" The blind boy picked his nose, muttered, and flicked a booger toward Huoyan.

Tactics were a formidable force, powerful enough to allow a team far inferior to them in skill to secure a victory in a match, much like the Qilan Team they had faced multiple times.

"Sister-in-law, please return to your chambers to change your clothes first; I will handle matters here." Yu Shaosheng, who managed the iron mine, had always maintained good relations with the common folk, and Qingrang felt reassured leaving the pacification to him. However, before she could return to her room, a servant arrived with a message reporting trouble at the Leisure Courtyard.

"The senior's intervention was not to save Han Xin, but rather to save that provocative ruffian," Zhang Liang said, shaking his head.

"The move just now was the senior stepping in to save that young man named Han Xin," Shaoyue remarked.

At this very moment, Lin Qing was nearly driven mad. Watching his subordinates fall one by one under Changmen's men, he grew frantic, crazed, and even somewhat numb.

The various officials within the imperial court who had secretly pledged allegiance to Huangfu Xian were properly dealt with by the Prince of Yingning. The prince gave them a chance, employing a pacification policy to avert the widespread aftermath a grand purge of the court would have caused.

Lin Yi naturally understood this. He took the pass and walked toward the examination venue.

They began to speak once more, their voices heavy with helplessness, well aware that only by communicating rationally now could they still turn things around.

"Get out! I don't want to see you!" The patriarch of the Yinghuo clan pointed fiercely toward the exit of the command center, roaring as his entire body trembled.

Lin Yi could clearly see a troop of men surging out from all four sides of the parking lot. Meanwhile, Li Xiang remained in place, quietly waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

Returning home, Chen Xiulan was sitting under the eaves looking outward. The moment she saw them enter, she instinctively shrank back into the house. Realizing a moment later that this behavior was wrong, she timidly stepped out again and greeted everyone one by one.

Emperor Jing'an looked toward Qin Fengyi, suddenly reaching out to stroke Qin Fengyi's hair with a soft sigh. "It's my fault for failing to become the ideal father you envisioned." With Qin Fengyi's sincere and open nature, what he sought must have been parents who thought of him heart and soul. I am sorry; Qin Fengyi had that kind of mother, but I have not been that kind of father.

Heh, the massive investments made by the Li Consortium in the West African Community had finally drawn the envy, jealousy, and hatred of other African nations.

He pressed Yi Feishi tightly against his chest, and Yi Feishi rested quietly over his heartbeat for a long, long time.

Mu Qingqing had been the top courtesan of Lin'an for three consecutive years and naturally stood as the crown jewel among the premier courtesans of the Chunhua Pavilion. With her immense fame, countless people desired an audience with her.

Her pitiful demeanor of sacrificing everything solely for the sake of her beloved had fooled Xie Miao for several lifetimes; she was truly at the level of an Academy Award-winning actress.

Vicente was a distant cousin of Vista. His father had a good relationship with Vista and entrusted him to Vista's care upon his passing, which was why Vista remained quite strict with him.

Damn it, what absolute nonsense! Knowing full well that the gang who had broken Yang Jin's legs had gone to Qingmei Mountain, Yang Jin himself ran straight to the palace to whisper slanders against Grand General Yi to the Emperor, and then turned around to write a letter coaxing his own son to help his "cousin" clamorously ransack the entire capital.
