Volume 1, Chapter 52: The Cliff

Last night, Mu Yao live-streamed until midnight. Gu Nanxiao placed his phone to the side while accompanying her and taking the opportunity to organize case files.

His gaze swept quickly over the notes, and when he saw one of the names, he paused for a long moment, then picked up a blue pen from the side to mark it.

At this moment, the horizon was just beginning to turn pale with the first light of dawn. Gu Nanxiao tossed and turned uncomfortably in bed, while the phone on the bedside table continued to vibrate incessantly.

"Boss, we have results from this side. Two years ago, the Liangcheng Branch Police Station received a report that a pair of siblings went missing at the same time on their way to buy things. The younger brother's name is Liang Hongda, and the elder sister... according to the family, because of national policies, she was never registered in the household registry, nor did she have a formal name. The family always called her Zhao..."

Watching the Ming soldiers fall one after another, and the county magistrate also struck by an arrow, dying a heroic death for his country, Shi Fu, who was completely engrossed in the opera, could not help but clench his fists. His entire face flushed crimson, wishing he could jump onto the stage and slaughter the Qing soldiers with a blade.

The master gave instructions that one cannot be too polite or gentle with these children, otherwise they will not believe it.

This move was truly vicious and ruthless, not only keeping herself completely clean of any blame, but also splashing a thick layer of filthy water onto Lu Xinyao.

Inside and outside the city walls, soldiers from both sides fought through the night by the light of torches. However, due to the nocturnal assault, the Huai army's attacking intensity dropped significantly. Similarly, the defensive effectiveness of the garrison also declined a great deal. Although the battle appeared extremely fierce on the surface, the actual losses on both sides were quite minimal.

Looking at Xiao Se, a sense of displeasure arose. This man was exceptionally handsome; even dressed as an ordinary rustic fellow, his temperament was extraordinary. Moreover, although their house looked rather bizarre, it was unusually luxurious.

"Putting it that way doesn't seem incorrect. But as for this Hu Hanxi, does she truly love Xiao Yao?"

The aunt happened to come out to take out the trash. Thinking that Zhang Gaokai had found some clues regarding her son, she said with great excitement, "Comrade Zhang, is there any news about my son?"

"You can offer yourself in marriage if you wish. I don't mind." Yun Mei nodded as if she were speaking of a serious matter.

Although Gnie felt that Tianming's actions were somewhat reckless, seeing that Tianming had safely escaped after all and had just woken up, he did not say much more, merely instructing Tianming to properly recuperate and telling him not to worry about the rest.

A flash of pain crossed Qin Yunying's eyes. "Leaving the empress's position in the inner palace vacant for so long is not a viable solution. Yesterday, those ministers submitted memorials to urge Us once more."

The maidservant blushed, not daring to look at Xu Wenchen. By this time, however, he had already lowered his hand and strode inside.

"What does this signify?" The Grand Princess actually harbored a vague guess of a possibility, yet dared not believe it with certainty.

If she could not figure it out, she simply would not dwell on it. In any case, she considered herself and him to be two parallel lines; even if they had been bound together initially by a piece of marriage contract, they now had nothing more to do with each other.

Madam Gong's tears rolled down like broken beads, and even Madam Lü, who was standing to the side accompanying her for the medical consultation, wiped away her tears with a handkerchief. After all, this was her younger sister's son and her own nephew; how could her heart not be tied to his plight?

Bai Mu returned to the prop room once again. The fatty was still howling ghost-like wails in the team channel, as if he had suffered some severe trauma. Refusing to speak, he simply chanted repeatedly that he wanted to slaughter that beast of a Perfect Man.

She walked over to the multi-layered treasure shelf, stood on tiptoes, and retrieved one of the jars. The ice-cold porcelain bottle stung the skin of her fingertips, chilling her as deeply as dripping water from the eaves, causing an involuntary shudder in her heart. This second path was a dead end—sacrificing oneself to preserve Mingzhu.

To this day, the precise location of the fifth Nether-Crossing Pagoda remains unknown. I'm afraid I will have to visit the other pagodas later to check.

In the afternoon, Xuan Yuanlin and Zhao Lian paid a visit, asking when they planned to leave and whether they intended to go to the Sesar tribe so that they could make preparations as well.

He had originally assumed that Emperor Jing University would be free from such atmosphere, but looking at it now, he had truly thought too much.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening. With so many videos, editing them all thoroughly would probably not be a task accomplished in a short while.

Six or seven imperial physicians were sleeping flat on the ground in the outer room. They were supposed to be on night rotation tonight; now that one physician had been called out, the others simply found a spot to close their eyes and rest.

In order to persuade Lu Mubai to accept treatment, the testing instruments here were not open to the public today and were reserved exclusively for specialized use.

As soon as she began to sing, everyone was astonished. Her voice sounded like celestial music, the lyrics were uninhibited and carefree, and even Yu Fei's expression carried that untamed and unrestrained air.

Li Village was located in a remote corner, and the villagers knew nothing whatsoever of the outside world, completely unaware that the Steadfast Rock Gang had already descended to the mortal realm to plot their schemes.

"I'm begging you, my heart is fluttering with panic!" Yu Fei pleaded, pitifully clutching Zhang Qingxuan's sleeve and shaking it as if imploring him.

The main street was bustling with voices, everyone discussing Lin Han's upcoming marriage, and every commoner offered her their sincere blessings.

The moment the sky grew bright, the crowing of roosters shattered all the stillness, and people woke from their beds one after another to begin a day of toil.

Facing the simultaneous coordinated attacks from both left and right, Zhang Ting's expression remained completely unchanged as he merely raised his foot and stomped fiercely onto the ground.

Ji Xuan: "..." He looked at the verdant green vegetables before him, then glanced at Xiao You's spread, which featured tubular bone soup, braised pork, and even white-cut chicken made from the free-range chicken Aunt Kong had sent from her hometown today—meat that had supposedly been prepared for him was now placed before Xiao You as well.

Just as Grandma Ji's voice trailed off, Ji? frowned, and Xiao You whipped her head around to look.

Accustomed to the system's lack of seriousness long ago, Feng Wanli opened the debility status and examined it closely.

Li Qing summoned Wolf Big and Wolf Two, and leading the three babies along with ten NPC soldiers, marched imposingly all the way to the lakeside.

The balsam flowers in the stone mortar were gradually pounded until they crushed, releasing their floral juices. Illuminated by the candlelight from the candlestick beside Ji Wujing, the juices cast overlapping shadows.

The security guard was still alive, but the uniform across his chest had been slashed open by a sharp blade into a half-meter-long gash, exposing the red undershirt he wore beneath.

"Just playing around? What kind of temperament you have, does your father not know? If you weren't truly angered, how could you scream and shout in such a disgraceful manner!" Gu Jingyuan completely refused to believe it.
