Chapter One Hundred and One: A Sweet Confession Scene

“Who says so? I, Old Geng, am not that sort of man.”

Geng Zhongcheng was an honest man by nature. He had only just spoken a single sentence, yet Ye Cheng had already seen through the thoughts in his heart, and he instantly felt a little embarrassed, so he flatly denied it at once.

“Oh, Old Geng, I was only making a guess. If it isn’t so, then it isn’t so. Why are you blushing...”

Five days earlier, when Zhao Yi was still in the Nanlou tribe, the Governor of Liaoxi had already discovered unusual movements among the Wuhuan tribes of Liaoxi Commandery. Their entire people had entered a state of alert, and they had sent out multiple scouting posts toward Liaoxi Commandery.

From afar came the faint howl of the wind, cold and heavy with killing intent. She knew that this was not the chill of autumn, but the approach of an army so terrible it was beyond belief.

“Qing’er.” Liu Chuan tried to wake Liu Qing, but at that moment Liu Qing was sleeping more peacefully than ever before, and was by no means easy to rouse.

One must know that in those days, the cheapest of these gemstones was probably worth several thousand silver dollars apiece. With so many gathered together, their value could no longer be estimated. Otherwise, how could Captain Song and the others have been so shocked?

“Good, it’s a deal.” The matter Zhao Yi discussed in secret with the Governor of Shanggu was precisely this land. Shanggu Commandery was vast and sparsely populated, leaving great stretches of land abandoned. Zhao Yi happened to seize this chance to borrow some acreage.

The old man glanced at the dossier of Xiao Yan in his hands, and a trace of delight rose in him. Much of the worry in his eyes faded, and he said kindly, “Come with me.” With that, he led the way toward the rear of the hall.

Upon receiving the invitation from Cloudfall Academy, the first major force to make a move was the renowned Heaven-Piercing Trading Company in the entire City of Chaos. Its chief, Yuan Tongtian, personally set out, bringing along his son and several highly capable advisors, and made his way swaggering toward Cloudfall Academy.

Zhang Xueling looked around, only to see that the same scene stretched in every direction. It was only then that she suddenly realized that the place where she stood was actually the break in this great “fishing net.” To be precise, this spot had been deliberately dug through by people of the past.

“My heavens!”

As her body suddenly sank beneath her, Zhou Yiyan finally understood what Wang Mazi had just felt.

Shi Yao understood perfectly well that the hidden weapon had been sent by Shen Zhentian, and that the person he intended to ambush was not Xu Haonan, but Zhou Hao.

“Let’s go too...” Li Bin waved his hand. Being surrounded by so many people made him feel most uneasy.

He looked toward the Kunlun Sage, and the Kunlun Sage was looking back at him as well. Li Guanghan seemed to suddenly sense what the Kunlun Sage was about to say.

Each day, the prison meals were delivered by a designated person. Feng Yufei and Liangcheng knocked that man unconscious on the way with the food, then pushed the prison meal cart and took the token into the Ministry of Justice prison.

One should know that humanity did not invent chemical pesticides, nor begin using them and insecticides on a large scale in agricultural production, until the twentieth century. In other words, it would still be thousands of years before that day came.

Yao Dan immediately arranged for people to handle Ya Chen’s affairs, then called Ya Chen and the others to sit down, had fine tea served, and personally kept them company.

That very night, after setting a meeting time with Wolf in the Emerald Dream, at noon the next day during the break between classes, Harry encountered Wolf coming out of the forest with Hermione beside the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

But now, once again, she was filled with confidence in the goal she had set for herself. With enough time, these problems would cease to be problems at all.

Practice a little martial arts, then take a few followers and go to the prefectural taverns for some amusement. At night, head to the Spring Blossom Tower and throw some silver at the Miss of the West Gate, and thus the day would be spent.

Thus, after Sun Ben’s death, Pan Zhang immediately sent troops to seal off the official residence, forbidding anyone to enter or leave so as to prevent the news from leaking out. Astonishingly, Liu Yi and Xu Ping were included in the ban as well. In other words, the two of them had been placed under house arrest by Pan Zhang.
