Chapter 49: A Letter from Chen Weimin

Seeing her daughter's resolute refusal, Su Qiao did not push any further. "Then I'll just keep this money for now." Su Qiao did not tell Fang Xiaoying that she intended to reimburse her for the money she had spent on the bicycle and watch.

"Mom, you just keep it! I smile even in my sleep now. I'm a wealthy person, not only with a large savings account, but also drawing a salary every month. I dare say no other girl my age in the entire machinery factory is as rich as I am."

"That's right. Not just among her peers, even within the machinery factory..."

How could such a supreme treasure fear a mere green branch tainted by a wisp of the power of laws? Under his carelessness, the Green Lord was directly killed in a single strike by Duoduo.

"Let's go, let's go, to the Tianxiang Pavilion. Ziping has already booked the table, but we should only have a light bite at noon today, because General Bai wants to drink heartily tonight..." Zhou Cang urged with a smile. Securing a table at the Jinyang Tianxiang Pavilion was notoriously difficult, with no privileges granted to anyone—even the Champion Marquis had to book a week in advance.

He was unaccustomed to this sensation, and dared not underestimate it either. The awe in his heart never faded, growing stronger by the day. He understood the terror of death. Those who frequently dealt with death fell into two categories: reckless desperadoes and pitiable wretches with no other choice.

There were no twinkling stars to adorn the night sky, and the moonlight, refusing to show any favor, hid itself away in the darkness. The earth was pitch black. From deep within the forest came pairs of bloodthirsty, greedy beastly eyes, staring vigilantly out of the woods as if waiting for humans to appear so they could rush out en masse to bite them to death and devour their flesh.

"I will listen to whatever my lady commands. I shall head to An County once this matter is settled; the training of the Tiger Guard is not yet complete," Dian Wei said with a nod. This time he had truly made up his mind, as this would allow him to focus more intently on military affairs.

For Ye Han, this was no less than a piece of advice from an elder: there is no need to dwell on the process of things; focusing solely on the outcome is enough.

This Elder Jinchi indeed had issues; he seemed intent on unearthing the secrets behind Gu Duopiaoxue, and was on close terms with Di Jiu, the inspector from the Ten Immortal Sects. However, lacking concrete evidence, he could only offer Ye Piaoling a general direction.

At this very moment, everyone saw a glimmer of hope, much like a ship adrift in a vast ocean finally finding its course.

Upon hearing his cousin's scolding, the red-haired man did not dare to draw a full breath; he immediately shrank his neck and stepped back.

When this news reached Su Jinse's ears, she merely paused for a moment before returning to her own affairs.

Upon hearing this, Chu Huajin felt a churning tumult in his heart, deeply distressed. The Pei family members continued to rise rapidly in their official careers, while he remained stagnant in the humble position of a clerk in the Rear Military Governor's Office.

Helian Yang spent nearly the entire night talking with Elder Helian, mostly discussing the political situation in the capital. Under the elder's guidance, Helian Yang sorted out many tangled threads. Seeing that dawn was approaching, Helian Yang had to hurry back to the troops.

A flash of dark robes swept past his eyes, and with graceful movements, a set of profound black outer garments was neatly draped over his body.

In truth, even if her son did not buy her anything, as long as he could stay by her side and chat with her, she would already be immensely happy.

Even in the dark of night, Moyan still blushed slightly, but she asked no questions and immediately took off her clothes.

Li Yan turned his head to glance at the white-haired old elder, frowning slightly. The old man was clearly making things difficult for him.

Before turning to leave with Ao Tianqi, Xia雪 caught the vicious, cold light shining in Sun Qian'er's eyes. She merely sneered mockingly and paid her no heed.

"So that's how it is! I was so happy just now that I almost forgot. Thank you for the guidance, Senior Baiming!" Long Daoling said with an embarrassed smile.

The previous chapter mentioned that Lü Meng had died of severe, untreatable wounds. Liu Bei, who had originally expected to rely on Lü Meng to wage a major campaign, found that option no longer viable and was bound to take action.
