Chapter 48 Did You Already Foresee This?

Nan Yuanman's facial features resembled those of Bai Wenyin, while her brows and eyes looked much more like her biological father's.

However, having never seen her father since birth, she had no point of reference and thus didn't care much about it.

Feng Yuli was different. Ever since Feng Congqian fell into a coma for unknown reasons, he had spent the most time with Feng Congqian over the years.

Therefore, he could tell at a glance that this little brat who had thrown a shoe at him—once the lower half of his face was covered—had an upper half that was simply a miniature version of Feng Congqian.

Upon hearing the old monk's explanation, Zhang Yi instantly understood the intention behind it, yet he remained somewhat puzzled as to why Xiao Yuanshan was also being punished.

"Oh!" An Ran's gaze landed on the guzheng resting on the rack. She strode over, reached out, and gently plucked the strings. So this world had the guzheng as well, though the sound quality of this particular instrument was utterly abysmal.

Watching Li Muchen and the others depart, the burly white man from earlier immediately walked off to the side and fished out a black stone hanging around his neck. Whether due to the sunlight or something else, a faint shimmering glow seemed to ripple across the surface of the stone.

Sun Chuanting hastily said, "As long as Lord Wang is willing, this subordinate will certainly not let you down. Should the day come when we can launch an offensive against the Jiannu, this subordinate will definitely behead that Dorgon." By this time, Nurhaci's successor, Huangtaiji, had already died, and the news had long since spread.

As An Ran and her group headed out, nobody knew who started it, but soon everyone was clapping their hands happily, as if in welcome and gratitude.

Instead of returning to his office, he got straight into his car and drove away with An Ran. As for work, he would simply pretend he hadn't returned yet and let his fine political commissar continue handling it.

Zhang Yi wanted to test the teleportation system, so he designated Lin玥 in his mind and issued the teleportation command.

Rather than letting them rack their brains trying to exact revenge on him, bringing it up himself would be far less troublesome.

One had to know that ordinary people couldn't afford such wine at all. Even if they wanted a taste, they would only ask for a single tiny cup of Heavenly Fragrance Brew. Yet a single pot of Heavenly Fragrance Brew cost five million spiritual pearls, and three pots came to fifteen million—he could acquire several hundred thousand spiritual pearls! That was equivalent to his salary for several years.

Dodo nodded and said, "We only have a few small cannons here at present. Fortunately, they haven't thought of coming to attack us. The current garrison in Yangzhou is over one hundred thousand strong, but many soldiers have already been sent back to work in the manufacturing workshops." Making firearms required a massive number of people, so their soldiers had been drafted for that.

Yet they never expected that reality would deal them a resounding slap in the face, leaving their minds completely dazed.

Throughout this palace complex, targets forged from various metals were placed everywhere, and numerous students were practicing archery in this area.

"Just you wait!" Leaving behind a harsh threat, Yun Luhai turned around and stalked off. He had lost too much face today; no matter what, he had to settle this score, otherwise, the hatred burning in his heart could never be appeased.

Accompanied by a violent roar—resembling thousands of catties of explosives being dumped into a rushing river—the space rippled as if folding into creases, while the air splashed about like water droplets. The rock walls on both sides of the canyon were even stripped of a layer, sending chunks of rock tumbling down.

Though everyone was merely a spectator, they watched with thrilling satisfaction, feeling as though they were the ones doing the beating.

One might say that even if no external lights had been set up that night, the flashing cameras of the reporters alone would have made the red carpet as bright as day.

"Lord God, the power of the universe! How could you possess such a thing?!" Feng Tuaxian shrieked as if he had seen a ghost, and then, amidst everyone's shocked gazes, he leaped headfirst into the abyss breach.

"The fourth tier, it's actually the fourth tier..." Luo Qianxun stammered incoherently, his gaze entirely disordered.

Deep within that location stood a grandiose palace complex, sprawling over an unknown number of thousands of li, having stood there for who knows how many years. Yet at this moment, for some unknown reason, the entire grand hall was shaking violently.

He wanted to leave, but Shi Yingran clearly was not going to give him that chance. Seeing him attempt to depart, she lashed out with her long whip again to attack Qin Ming, determined to force him to stay.
