Volume 1, Chapter 60: President Ji Confronts He Xin Directly

He Xin’s first reaction was to deny it, wearing a tearful expression: “Ah-li, did you get it wrong? How could I bear to hand you over to Shu Xingruo? I loved you so much back then, it was clearly her own setup.”

Ji Yanli took out his phone and played the video of You Hongna’s confession. He Xin’s face turned ashen; she racked her brains but couldn’t figure out why Ji Yanli would track down You Hongna to investigate the events of the past.

She pinched her palm to keep herself from panicking, and in a flash of lightning, she had already thought of her excuse.

Composing herself, she said: “It was my mother who forced us to break up back then. I didn’t agree, and she took it upon herself to frame Shu Xingruo. I only found out about this not long ago...”

Human nature is often such that things obtained without any effort are rarely cherished. On the contrary, things that require a certain price to attain are treasured deeply, and people will never allow even the slightest bit of waste.

It was only at this moment that the matriarch released Chen Hu, then used her trunk to push him toward the injured elephant, followed by emitting a sound resembling a plea.

“To save you, I had to challenge a Zanpakuto’s spirit to master Bankai and run all the way to Hueco Mundo to shout and fight for my life. This little request isn't too much, is it?” Kongluo looked at the other person with a rather wicked smile.

Yes, I did indeed swear up and down that I would only marry, have children with, and love Yang Peiqi for the rest of my life, but... at that time, I firmly believed that Wen Wanqing was no longer in this world, which was why I made such a vow.

“What top-tier expert? If he truly were an expert, how could he fail to recognize that the Jade-Heart Qiong Flower was fundamentally an immature and useless object? Only someone with Second Young Master Xie’s discernment would take a fancy to it...” Before this person could finish speaking, he was interrupted by his companion.

Consequently, Chanxu abandoned the idea of retreating and instead continuously dispatched troops in rotation to attack, wearing down the strength of the Han forces.

Xiao Junfeng could not find the slightest clue here, so he had no choice but to retrace his steps back to the palace. He issued an order for the imperial guards to go out and search, and once the three of them were found, they must be kept under constant surveillance at every moment.

In fact, this was already her second time coming upstairs to look for him, but alas, the previous time she came, his door had been tightly shut, leaving her with no choice but to return in disappointment. As it happened, she had no performance scheduled today, and while wandering around downstairs, she heard him speaking to the madam, so she followed the sound and came up.

I cursed in anger, kneeling and struggling to move forward, but I was blocked dead by the strange man.

The most important thing was time! For every moment that passed, the damage of the mutant true essence to Guo Qin’s body would increase by a fraction. If effective measures were not taken in time to refine it, Guo Qin would very likely meet the fate described by Xueying—his path in cultivation would stop right there.

Judging from the movement of her lips as she spoke, Qijing let out a cold snort. Remaining motionless, as the fire phoenix charged toward her, the doe that had been following her abruptly lunged forward and kicked it flying with a single hoof.

“Her happiness is to marry and live a life with a man of matched social status; it has nothing to do with you!” Mother Ye said with absolute finality.

An anonymous letter detailing Artemis’s whereabouts half a month ago, coupled with Yis’s prophecy, let him know that Artemis was in Ebla. In his fury, he personally led an army to prepare to subjugate Ebla, determined to take her back.

Ziruan waved her hand, signalinging Ying Mengyu to enter. She arranged the bamboo bowls and chopsticks, assigning each of them a seat.

Xiao Ruoyue looked at him strangely. Was he still angry about what happened earlier? Or was he... playing hard to get?

“Take me to the place where they disappeared back then.” Zichen rubbed his chin and said.

Her smooth fingertips grazed the patterns on the comb; the carved dragon and phoenix patterns were delicate and imposing, and she could imagine that his expression when carving must have been filled with deep affection, while his movements retained the fierce dominance he used when wielding a sword.

These were the things Dudu Fang had been determined to find back then, even crafting a specialized compass to search for them. Therefore, someone here must have seen them, or at least heard of them.

A single glance back and she puts on a hundred charms; the women of the six palaces are devoid of color. Heaven and earth may endure, but this love shall stretch on without end.

This was a large bird-beak mask, an incidental item ordered alongside the black and white masks just to create a confusion of sights.

Zhao Rui did not speak. This was obvious; Gao Wei would definitely cause trouble for them. As for this matter, Zhao Rui actually didn't care much; what he cared about was why He Zhiyou was in Gao Wei's bed.

Now he had returned to his original appearance, as if he had done nothing during these days and had simply stayed in the Magical Beast Forest all along. How he wished time could flow backward to prevent things from happening.

When he registered as an alchemist back then, he was only nine years old. Calculating the time, although quite a while had passed by now, he was still definitely under twenty years old.

Regarding the situation of her new home, Qi Xingyu really didn't know much. Aside from knowing where the house was when she first processed the paperwork, Qi Xingyu had rarely been over there.

The sixth match was the bout between Dolph Ziggler and Alberto, squaring off in a singles match.

“Wasn't she always a vixen?” Yuan Jinchen twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling that his wife was truly adorable.

Lu Yu also leaned over to take a look. Zhao Yurou was skilled in mental power techniques and swordsmanship, with the cultivation level of a Grandmaster. Upon seeing her cultivation, Lu Yu was instantly startled. Grandmaster-level cultivation? Really or fake? A Grandmaster-level mentor teaching freshmen? That was truly a rarity.

At the same time, the company had a very motivating system: the year-end bonus did not necessarily have to be received at the end of the year. If the company’s performance exceeded the plan by the middle of the year, that year’s year-end bonus could be split into two parts—half rewarded at mid-year, and the other half rewarded at year-end.

Chen Fan single-handedly wrecked all three members of The Shield, even had Mark Henry deliver a powerbomb to Dean Ambrose, and then, while Mark Henry was celebrating, Chen Fan used the United States Championship belt to lay Mark Henry low.

“Aren't I here?” Guiyuan said. He thought to himself that he must find a day to pull Yuanbao aside for a chat and talk about the extremely twisted nature of Mozhu’s feelings for him.

“There are discs in the cabinet under the television; pick a movie to watch.” Xia Mingshu walked off the bed and poured two glasses of red wine.

Luo Xia took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Footsteps echoed in his ears, followed by the scent of a faint, ethereal fragrance and the sensation of warmth drawing close to his body.

By now, the position of the seventh elder of the Phoenix clan had been given to someone else; Grand Elder Phoenix had told him this himself a few days ago.

She kept shouting and speaking, but Gu Jingshen did not fully grasp the meaning of her words. However, he roughly understood that what she was talking about at the moment concerned their past lives.
