Chapter 147: Sharing a Table with the Editor-in-Chief

Fan Xiaoxiao took the water glass with some awkwardness. After all, Jim before her was the editor-in-chief of the Kangcheng Times—frankly speaking, the person who provided her livelihood. No matter how reluctant she was to have Jim sit next to him, she had no choice but to agree. "Thank you, Editor-in-Chief!"

Chuandong, whose injuries had mostly recovered, sat squarely in the master seat, facing the Jiangzhou leaders who wore various expressions.

Following the group into the back courtyard, Wang Dong discovered that this courtyard was more than twice the size of the main hall.

"Wait, that's not right. If you put it that way..." Remembering his excitement just moments ago, Li Chenfeng felt a sense of embarrassment, but then he thought of another reason for his wild laughter a moment before, and an ominous premonition suddenly washed over him.

"So after all my wasted breath, you remain stubbornly unrepentant, is that it?" he looked at You Jie, saying coldly.

However, no matter what, Lu Haikong couldn't blatantly loot corpses right under the noses of the Xianbei people; that would be a bit too arrogant. Therefore, Lu Haikong and his men simply selected a few of the more powerful individuals and collected the items they had dropped, and that was that.

Shen Yunfang escorted the visitors to the door and watched them walk away before returning inside. Of course, she chose to ignore the curious gazes coming from the courtyard. Incidents like this probably wouldn't be rare in the future, so she might as well let them get used to it.

"Has Brother Li still not emerged from seclusion? It has already been over a month. No, I still have to go and find out clearly; this is simply too worrying," Wang Wei said.

In fact, this tribe was the largest among the neighboring Xiongnu tribes, with a population of nearly twenty thousand, located about a hundred miles away from Lu Haikong's pasture.

Gray Impermanence's nose felt a bit sore, and a few tears welled up in his eyes. His oath was interrupted twice because of this, and he had to rely on deep breaths to ease himself.

Although the attributes were relatively normal, it granted a 60% increase in movement speed, along with an ability that acted somewhat like invincibility. Moreover, this invulnerability shield allowed them to launch attacks, making them fearless against both melee and ranged combat.

"Of course it's for the throne. However, judging from the princes these people assassinated, the crown prince is actually the one in the most unfavorable position, because he is the easiest one to frame," Li Yu instead believed that the crown prince was the least likely person to have done this.

Ouyang Xue had very few combat experiences against enemies, resulting in a severe lack of actual combat skills. Furthermore, the opponent launched a sneak attack, and with Yu Yang by her side, she only jumped and dodged when she saw the opponent throw a flying knife, yet a flying knife still grazed past her shoulder.

The man beside Wang Liyun glanced at Yu Fei, and seeing him dressed in cheap, off-the-rack clothes, his brows furrowed slightly as a wave of disdain flooded his heart.

Inside the box was a necklace crafted from a delicate thin gold chain, and the most peculiar part was the pendant, which was unmistakably shaped like a fish in a vibrant emerald green color. How could this fail to astonish one?

The two hook-blades swiftly met the iron staff. Upon the clash of weapons, the two wolf-teeth maces flew high up as if struck by a giant hammer. The rebound force not only nearly knocked the weapons out of their hands, but also cracked the skin between their thumbs and forefingers, drawing streams of blood, while causing the two of them to lean slightly backward.

"Lunatic!" Xie Bangui cursed and turned around, only to have the old man's tear-stained face appear before him like a ghost. Xie Bangui covered his ears and turned around again, but the old man popped up from somewhere else. He simply closed his eyes and tightly plugged his ear canals with both hands.

"Oh no, Murong is practicing dual cultivation again... and what's more, what's more, they are dual cultivating the 'Northern冥 Divine Skill'!" When Yusheng realized all of this, it was already too late; the vital energy within Murong's body had already begun to circulate back and forth through the bodies of Yusheng and the other.
