Chapter 149 Intelligence Exchange

"Please come in."

Hearing a knock on the door, Lu Chenyuan guessed it might be Shangguan Chuci, and a smile involuntarily bloomed on his face when he saw the person pushing the door open and entering.

It was none other than that dashing young gentleman in male disguise.

She was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, her waist bound with an ink-colored jade belt, and her hair secured only by a plain silver hairpin. Though attired in dashing male garments, she could not conceal the alluring and captivating charm between her brows.

A carefree smile hovered at the corners of her lips, and her right hand casually...

Seeing her companion injured, it glared angrily at Xiao Fei, but it could only threaten Xiao Fei, who was standing in the tree, with mere glares. Lacking the ability to climb, it could do nothing more than bark frantically.

Xia Mengning hurriedly curtsied in greeting. Looking at her still-reddened eyes, Zhangsun Yun felt a pang of profound heartache.

"What?!" Ao Xianglan felt that Xiao Fei was vastly exaggerating. If those six were comparable in strength to the one outside, how could Xiao Fei have fought them? And how could he appear so mildly injured?

With these words, Xia Chuanyuan reached out to support the Ge family matriarch sitting nearby, and the two walked out together, supporting each other.

Feeling that something was amiss, Lady Fang couldn't help but glance at Xia Mengning standing over there, though unfortunately, the latter was lost in deep thought and her expression was unreadable.

"Why obsess over whether I have awakened or not? You and I are fundamentally one. You are me, and I am you." The white-clad Luoyu stared with empty eyes, her tone elegant yet aloof, exuding an ancient desolation.

Xia Chuanyuan's retreating figure paused, then he turned to see that Lady Xie had indeed risen, instructing Mother Chen by her side to prepare for their departure to the imperial palace.

Only Xia Shiming nearby was still breaking out in a cold sweat; whenever Luoyu called him "Brother Xia," he was guaranteed to meet with misfortune.

Luoyu remained silent in the face of Ouyang Li's confession, her gaze sweeping past Ren Tian to look into the distant void. Since Ouyang Li had schemed against her like this, how best should she punish him?

Following a tremor, the entire body of the furnace began to faintly glow with a crimson light. Threads resembling bright red silk flickered ceaselessly across its surface, and once all these fiery lines lit up, a burst of flame erupted from within the vessel with a soft pop.

"Save... save me, I beg you..." Su You's vision gradually blurred. Before losing her last shred of will, she pleaded with Ye Tian in a trembling voice.

Jiang Qianqian didn't quite understand, but seeing the one-eyed Guan Ruisheng's expression grow increasingly grim, she couldn't help asking.

"Impersonating government officials?" The Yamen bailiffs looked toward the knocked-out men with a trace of perplexity.

Lin Deng had checked almost all the hotels, airline tickets, high-speed rail tickets, and train tickets, yet found no trace of her whereabouts.

Yet when I began to contemplate whether I should step down from my divine throne, I realized I still had countless reasons that made it impossible for me to leave.

"The weather is too hot; have some ice and cooling soup delivered to Physician Gu to beat the heat!" Cheng Wenwen instructed them.

Though these Green-Armored Troops were fully armed, there were always minute gaps at their joint connections.

"I don't feel like eating. Hualan, do you know how Jiaonu is doing?" The moment the question left her lips, Fang Yunyao regretted it.

"Do you really think you are worthy of being my good son and good grandson? Don't taint my family tree!" Ye Tian said coldly. Zheng Keming wanted to curse—clearly, it was him who had told them to shout that just now, so how could he blame them now?

The emperor had issued him a secret decree, demanding that Qi Suizhe bite back and pin the blame firmly on the Duke of Ying so as to splash this dirty water onto him.

With over twenty supernatural beings, they could certainly fend off a multitude of adversaries and handle countless contingencies.

"I'll have someone bring things up!" Xia Mingxiu reached out to tidy Yuan Yao's hair, speaking in a soft voice.

Liang Liang's brows furrowed even deeper, his pair of black eyes—identical to Pei Anzhi's—tinged with a palpable chill.

Back at the North Mountain Manor in Xindu, in order to save Cao Xin, she had spoken of this matter quite bluntly. Mentioning it once more now was of no consequence, especially since she was speaking to her own elder sister.
