Chapter 46: Still Need to Keep Stirring Things Up

Following the same procedure, the prepared ingredients were first taken out and set aside, then a pot was brought to boil water.

After finishing, a large bamboo box was taken from the side, and the lid was lifted. When a gigantic peach was removed from within, all the onlookers instantly caught a strong, fragrant aroma.

“Is this a peach?”

“Heavens! What variety is this? It’s truly enormous!”

“Isn’t it incredibly fragrant? The scent is so intense.”

“Jiang Yuxin’s training time was short, and her skills shallow; the excessive strain from healing caused her to faint. Don’t worry, she’ll wake up on her own soon,” someone explained.

Understanding this, Monchi felt much clearer and set his own direction firmly.

Both father and son came from scientific research backgrounds; ordinary people might not notice anything special, but the more they observed, the more deeply unsettled they became.

At their first meeting, Du Shifan inevitably exchanged some polite, slightly flattering remarks with Xu Huai, but the latter was shrewd and decisive, naturally steering the conversation directly to the point through those compliments.

Xiao Qiang glanced at Qin Yu, who sat silently on the ground, sensing an uneasy emotion in his eyes. Yet he dismissed it—after all, there were three hundred Dragon Unit soldiers here in this wasteland. Was he really afraid of a counterattack from the ghostly organization?

In two years, a mere ordinary person had progressed to mid-level third stage cultivation, which was quite commendable. If his profound insights kept pace with his cultivation, he would stand a good chance competing against ordinary cultivators of the Meteor Five Realm.

However, Gu Yun was completely unaware at this moment, her eyes hollow and despondent as she lay motionless among the rubble, silently awaiting the arrival of death.

She only furrowed her brow slightly, walking alone ahead without speaking. Even she did not understand why, but hearing Li Xiaoyao’s words had sparked a glimmer of hope within her heart. This hope was inscrutable. As she walked, she listened attentively, eager to hear Qin Chuan’s response.

Finishing his words, he slightly raised his hand, and a fiery red glow suddenly flickered in his palm.

Gu Yun’s aura continued to surge; the primordial energy of heaven and earth was gathering frantically, crowding toward her.

“Here it comes!” Jiang Tengfei sprinted with great speed, almost a hundred meters in a dash as he rushed into the waiting hall.

Qu Tu had waited for him to coax her, but unexpectedly, Rong Yan dropped a huge bombshell, leaving him covered in dust and filled with fury.

Back then, when the makeup artist said that Wang Fu was actually quite beautiful but dressed plainly, she hadn’t taken it to heart at all.

He knew that scent was from Young Master Mu’s hair. The young master was handsome and kind to them; the gardener liked him very much.

“Ye Xingchen.” Han Qi truly wanted to give Xu Yuqin a few slaps to wake her up; she was increasingly regretting inviting her here.

Jiang Xun walked through the mansion. The once barred gates, which had been obstacles to the original owner, were now freely accessible; no one dared to stop her anymore.

A distinct sigh was heard; Xu Yuqin wanted to ask An Yinuo something because she sensed a feeling of disappointment.

“Yes, yes, yes,” Xu Yuqin responded eagerly, as if grasping a lifeline, nodding repeatedly.

The two words she uttered were simple and clear enough for An Minghe and Yang Xiaozhen, who had come over, to understand.

“It was truly moving; the Empress Dowager nearly shed tears,” the Grand Empress Dowager said, tears welling at the corners of her eyes.

“Putting that aside, did you have any involvement in the shopkeeper Wu framing the Du family’s rice shop, which resulted in deaths?” Governor Qi cut straight to the point, unwilling to waste time.

The wind around grew stronger, sharp like blades, stinging the skin painfully. But this was not the cold wind of winter—it carried no chill.

At that time, the God-Slaying General also appeared with red eyes like Su Yuxing’s; whenever he appeared, many perished.
