Who bullied you?

Ye Mian neatly tied up her hair, clearly looking like she was ready for a fight.

This completely shattered everyone's impression of her.

The few female students standing next to Hu Li all took a step back.

Wasn't Ye Mian... famously known for her good temper?

Hu Li's breath hitched for a moment. Realizing she couldn't squirm her way out of this, she still subconsciously put up a stubborn front, raising her voice to retort, "I did not."

Ye Mian lifted her chin and also raised her voice, "Yes, you didn't. Do you think when I just stood—"

Half a minute later, seven or eight pickup trucks lined up in a row and stopped two hundred meters away from the sand dune. This was already within effective firing range, and they did not dare to advance rashly.

The commoners farmed the same plots of land as before, yet the taxes had increased by an extra portion. In total, encompassing the past and present, it amounted to over thirty-four thousand and three hundred qing of farmland. "As a result, bankrupt households filled every village, with some being wealthy nobles in the morning and beggars on the streets by night."

Stone Tower was located at the border of Hedong Circuit and Yongxing Military Prefecture, named after the craggy Stone Tower Mountain. The mountain was covered with jagged rocks and withered vegetation, and rarely did anyone set foot there.

The landlady's eyes widened abruptly. She had originally thought that Luofeng would beg her to let him stay, but she never expected that those would be the final words he uttered.

With nothing else to do on either side, and unable to offer any help, Yi Jianfeng left a passage connecting the Changing Space to the outside world, allowing the dragon cultivators who were gathering immortal crystal mines to enter and exit freely, and then stepped directly into the Changing Space.

These secluded aristocratic families and sects were overwhelmingly powerful, effortlessly replacing the existing prominent families and sects.

However, the atmosphere seemed inexplicably awkward... Therefore, she didn't say anything; maintaining the status quo seemed to be the best choice.

He Buming narrowed his eyes, and the surrounding atmosphere instantly shifted. The air grew somewhat oppressive, all the fancy carp in the adjacent pool sank straight to the bottom, and the white crane turned its head to look at its master.

Through the organization's internal system, he knew that Abu was currently nearby and immediately notified him. No one in their organization was unaware of the deep enmity between Abu and Silver Fox; he believed that Abu would go to any lengths to hunt down Silver Fox.

On the viewing platform, a red military command flag was waved, and as the sound of drums echoed, five hundred soldiers formed two battle lines, each holding their weapons.

Although Chen Xiong had not attended the martial arts tournament last night, he was well aware of the battle results. Xia Long slaying a realm-master with a single sword and aweing the entire audience alone made Chen Xiong admire him all the more.

An illusory shadow of a black fierce tiger suddenly materialized in the air, its entire body wreathed in billowing malevolent Qi, as if it possessed the power to suppress this entire space. That terrifying aura caused the surrounding space to begin collapsing.

As for the possibility that Wuyue might not have left a trace behind, he refused to believe it no matter what. How could it be such a coincidence that the moment he fled, she would be able to block his path?

Had he known earlier, he should have bailed Xiao Xuanran out sooner. Why on earth had he allowed the police inspector to take her away back then? In truth, let people say whatever they wanted—what did that even amount to? It would still be far better than a separation of life and death like this.

When Xia Long returned home, it was already past two in the morning. Sao Yi Dao had just taken on a new disciple and was rather excited, insisting on staying at the hospital, while Su Minghao was also arranged by Sao Yi Dao to stay along with Chen Di.

"My son died a wretched death. You must give us an explanation for this matter," one of the deceased victims' mothers pointed at Pei Heng and cursed, "In any case, I am left all alone in my household with no one to rely on. If I cannot get justice, I will cause a scene—a scene so loud that your imperial court will know no peace." As she spoke, large teardrops streamed down her face.

Su Yang nodded, expressing his approval of this point. After all, when Patriarch Lü tested him earlier, he had intentions of making Su Yang retreat into the mountains and forests. This desire to shun the world was, after all, different from the true Dao heart.

Before he could finish speaking, a voice blending the tones of a mother and a wife rang out; astonishingly, Lin Yuan'e and Lin Changren had both called out to Liu Yu at the same time.

Lin Peijiu pressed his body down. "That won't do either. Your wounds are just starting to scab, and it would be bad if they festered again." With those words, she squatted down, scooped a bowl of porridge, and handed it to him.
