Chapter 90: What Do You Think?

Old Wang said, "Back then, the Qingfenghao gang captured over a dozen people by the river and forced them to build ships right there at Guanshan Pavilion."

While there were plenty of trees around Guanshan Pavilion, timber cannot be used for shipbuilding the moment it is felled; it must be seasoned for a period of time. However, the men of Qingfenghao could not afford to wait. They ordered the boatmen to construct wooden rafts and loaded the divine statues from Guanshan Pavilion onto them to be sent out into the water.

That night, eighteen rafts, each laden with statues of gods and Buddhas, departed from the shores of Guanshan Pavilion simultaneously, rowing toward the depths of the lake.

Not long after the rafts had set out, everyone heard mournful wailing. At first, they assumed it was just ghosts haunting the waters, but later...

For some reason, this attack from the Blood Bone Basin left Luo Dong with a sense of trepidation.

The youth walked over swiftly, sat in a nearby chair, and picked up a cup of tea, sipping it gently. His posture was relaxed and natural, fluid as flowing clouds.

If the person wailing on the ground had been a cute girl, there might have been gentlemen willing to offer help, no matter how fake the sobbing; unfortunately, the one putting on a show on the ground was an old man.

"I am not! Brother, hurry and think of a solution, otherwise your subordinates are all finished!" Nezha shrieked and hollered intentionally, yet with great disloyalty, he ran off until he was nowhere to be found.

"What kind of garbage is this ad reduction? Who authorized you to get clever with this?" The cold, stern voice was filled with extreme dissatisfaction.

After the sole surviving soldier recounted the sequence of events, he could finally no longer bear the guilt and sorrow in his heart; he drew his blade across his own throat, following his king into death.

Pei Ji’s words left a bitter taste in Luo Tong’s mouth. He did not deny the high regard Li Shimin held for him, but this regard was not something he had earned through sycophancy, nor was it gained by relying on his status as a protégé of the Emperor or his future position as the Emperor's son-in-law.

Even while speaking words of gratitude, Changyao remained as expressionless as ever, as if she were not the same person who had just moments ago been unable to suppress a smile.

Su Lingxi smiled, took the blanket and tucked her in properly, then glanced around the room before walking out.

This was equivalent to stating a fact: the Hall of Spirits had begun its primary work, and within its shroud, all souls found a place of rest.

Zhu Rao finally came to her senses and, steeling herself, forced the bowl of black medicinal soup into Shui Ningyan’s mouth. Once the medicine was fully consumed, Xia Tianxue shoved Shui Ningyan aside.

Replacing the original Feng Wu, the newly appointed Minister of Military Affairs, Huo Taolue, provided a different answer.

As a result, four mid-stage Golden Core cultivators perished at once. Furthermore, because their physical bodies were destroyed and their Golden Cores shattered, they died in a state of immense resentment.

This discovery thrilled Huang Shan; the five types of spiritual liquid in his Dantian, aided by the Yin and Yang energies, truly began to grow more viscous, showing a clear trend toward solidifying.

Moreover, this instance of dual cultivation was of great benefit to the future development of both, as Zhao Ruo’s body now held Huang Shan’s essence and the cultivation pathways of the dual cultivation technique.

After all, the foothills of Mount Kunlun were densely forested, and without using divine sense, it was impossible to keep track of every cultivator. Most importantly, many had activated anti-surveillance artifacts, for this was the territory of the notorious Jingcai Sect, known for murder and robbery; it would be a disaster if one were spotted by an enemy.

Yuan Changming wanted to chase after them, but Yuan Jiangdong barked a command, forcing him to halt his steps and stay put.

I know my assistant is not a man of superfluous words; there must be some connection behind him bringing this up.

"No need, no need. The company’s cash flow is currently quite sufficient to handle any emergency," Shen Ning quickly refused. In truth, she knew exactly how much cash flow was on the company’s books, but these were trade secrets that could never be disclosed.

Wang Ruini didn't speak, just blinked silently. To be honest, she had a very bad impression of him right now, and he was indeed the kind of man capable of any evil deed.

Compared to when Jiang Hao first visited Lingshan, the mountain was now glowing with radiant Buddhist light, and the presence of novices could be seen everywhere. The sounds of Sanskrit chanting and sutra recitations were constant. Even with his Heavenly Eye, he could not spot a single flaw; not only was there no trace of demonic aura, but rays of Buddhist light seemed to overflow from everywhere.

However, that was a one-time use treasure. Once used... the entire Shallow Creek would be reduced to ruins.

Although not as powerful as Nie Kai, if the two joined forces, they understood the principle that one plus one equals two.

At this moment, the sky suddenly dimmed, as if foreshadowing the fierce battle about to unfold here.

After bringing back this unlucky coconut crab and the two fallen coconuts, I went to the river to catch a fish.

If Midakang hadn't returned today, I would have set out to search at the first light of dawn tomorrow! Following normal logic, I should rest well now to preserve my energy for tomorrow’s search.

The Martial Emperor still harbored some lingering affection, and coupled with Shen Shuyi’s hypocritical, tearful, and flawless pleading, Beauty Yang was banished from the palace. From then on, those magnificent palace walls had nothing more to do with her.

Following the end of the annual development report, more than twenty key naval officers gathered in the Zhongji Hall. Chen Sen, commander of the First Fleet, spoke on behalf of the group, offering the first proposal.

Just because he had associated with Shi Miaowu, they wanted to kill him; Yang Ren felt these people were truly beyond reason.

Among several key research projects at the Academy of Sciences, the development of the Bayer-type rotating magnetic field AC generator and the improvement of electrolytic production of metallic elements were both intended to serve the industrial steel industry.

Having said this, Wang Dong ignored the changing expressions on Xia Zhiqing’s face, stood up from his seat, and walked toward the elevator without a hint of hesitation.

"Behave, don't mess around. We're still at the company; what if someone sees..." Susan pleaded bitterly. She couldn't bear to refuse Chen Feng, but she was truly afraid of being reckless at the office, feeling equally conflicted.

After a long while, Xing Yue and Zhou Yi walked out holding hands. Zhou Yi’s face was flushed, and her clothes were no longer as neat as when she had gone in, while Xing Yue maintained a constant smile, causing the others to cast strange, sweeping glances at the pair.
