Chapter 106: The Bewildered Father-in-Law
Ling Gaoxuan hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, it is all thanks to His Majesty’s great grace. I will surely keep it in my heart.”
Su Li saw Ling Gaoxuan still kneeling on the ground and smiled, “Doctor Ling... no, Minister Ling, please rise. From now on, we shall work together in the court, wholeheartedly assisting His Majesty.”
Ling Gaoxuan was now smiling so broadly that his mouth could barely close...
He Tianli sat back in his chair, leaning against the backrest, staring at the ceiling in silence for a long while, as if Director Xu’s words hadn’t registered with him at all.
His eyes wandered aimlessly, and suddenly he noticed a familiar figure not far away, hiding in the corner by the camera. Clutching a script, the figure reclined on a lounge chair, glancing sideways in this direction with a detached expression, though his eyes betrayed a faint hint of concern.
Throughout this past year, Ghostface hadn’t died... Yet countless times, he felt he was about to perish. Reflecting back, he thought it was pure luck that he managed to survive the entire year.
Only for a fleeting moment, lost in a daze, when Duan Shanshan came to her senses, she found herself already in the midst of the scene, utterly dumbfounded.
Moreover, since the Lihua Zou incident, Lin Yu had begun to suspect that the gun might actually be real.
However... if this extra layer of resilience was built upon the lives of Nayé, Fate, Vivio, or even the entire Mobile Section Six...
Then Lin Yu did not want to witness such a scenario.
At that moment, the door opened, and a young man with a slightly dark complexion entered. From his breathing, Wu Ying could tell he was deeply unsettled.
Especially as he watched Treport inch closer to the basket, already at the point where he could start his layup.
“Very well. Remember what you said. I’ll trust you this once,” Liu Ming said coldly after gazing briefly at the face of “Lord Sun” before nodding.
The last elusive figure, cornered by the Elemental Unit for over a minute without capture, forcibly leapt past two elemental operatives, halting their advance.
Mu Feng glanced at Elder Badai, who stood before them with his back turned, his expression unreadable.
She was growing increasingly exhausted, feeling her body and spirit both deeply wounded.
“I’ve heard something about this, but that battle axe is hidden so well I haven’t been able to uncover its location. Otherwise, I would have taken it already!” Luo Ji remarked.
“I don’t know who would resort to such means against the Qi family...” Qi Mei pondered with no clue. Although the Qi family held a certain status in City A, it also attracted the covetous eyes of many in the business world. One misstep, and it would be like being pounced upon by a pack of wolves.
Wang Zhen was a stern man, serious in demeanor and old-fashioned in conduct. Usually wearing a solemn face, he showed no smile even upon seeing his nephew, merely nodding.
However, thanks to the presence of the narrow mountain pass, this place became a resting spot for merchants traveling between the two counties, gradually developing into a bustling commercial city.
“Old Scar” felt a sudden lightness in his hand and a chill ran through him. Immediately lowering his head respectfully, he stepped aside to clear the path.
The martial cultivators and Xuanxiu gathered around the two, upon hearing Xiao Mo’s arrogant words, shook their heads. Among those present, many could tell that just moments ago, Xiao Mo had been struck twice consecutively by Han Shu and was utterly helpless. Now, hearing Xiao Mo’s boastful claims, they all believed his end was near.
Liehuo guessed correctly: she had never intended to take it away, only wanted to take a look. But Mo Lin’s obstruction annoyed her, and so the next scene unfolded.
In the end, Bai Ping’s call proved beneficial. Lan Zi stopped making a fuss and obediently sat quietly to the side.
To live, one must have a purpose, a reason; otherwise, death would be preferable. This was what Xu Jiangnan held onto when heading south.
