4th District, Palliard North Bank.

Count Baptiste's Mansion.

The warm winter sun bathed the cobblestone streets. Even in the depths of winter, the City of Flowers wasn't too cold. Lanchi walked towards the mansion from a distance with a small black cat on his head.

This was the Baptiste family's ancestral home, once the most magnificent and eye-catching building on the street. The iron gates adorned with morning glories were now covered in a light layer of rust, and the tall poplar trees on either side of the entrance, like sentries, had been broken.

Just as everyone was lost in thought, Lucassi suddenly roared, and a blood-red wing burst from his body. With each flap, it transformed into afterimages, sweeping towards the peak of the building where Johns was.

Shieldbearers in the front, archers in the back – this was the Chu army's consistent formation. When they were about fifty paces from the city walls, the archers began to draw their bows and fire arrows at the city tower. On the tower, the Qin defenders, with the advantage of height, shot arrows at the Chu army. Both sides suffered casualties, but the Chu army's losses were greater than the Qin army's.

Even the most powerful Loose Immortals on the entire planet felt difficulty breathing under this soaring evil aura, a sense of suffocation.

Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan truly hadn't anticipated this outcome, as told by the Regret Terminator and the arrogant Dragon.

Mu Xiecheng and Yao Yingying landed on the island along with everyone else. Mu Xiecheng felt the reef under his feet. The reef was slightly slippery, but this was not a problem for these martial artists.

"Damn, I'll smash you with one punch." At this moment, Zhang Lie's stubborn temper flared up again. He gritted his teeth, his fists clenched until they cracked.

Lin Pu then looked at me. He knew very well that what I needed most now was the location of the seventh ancient tomb, because Zhenya was still inside.

The braided youth could really hold his breath, sitting there motionless, pretending to be cool with his eyes closed. But the two followers behind him couldn't hold back, and kept wanting to call out to the braided youth.

"It's not your fault! If you really can't stand it, do whatever you want, I won't interfere!" Mu Xiecheng waved his hand and said.

Like Qin Xufei, Fang Qingchen's residence in Qindu, with its extravagant luxury and many servants and slaves, was just a temporary place to stay, definitely not home.

And all this was because Shen Qing mentioned on the way: Why don't we just stay on the mountain tonight?

"Oh dear, I almost forgot the important thing. I heard that the family's properties in Chang'an are being suppressed, and the workshops have stopped production. And we can't find anyone to help."

"Zhou Yinghuai, I came here today because I just want to ask you one question. Once I'm clear, I won't pester you," Chu Anning said resolutely.

Since she had received the fee, she naturally had to do her best to help Li Kexin choose a crystal with a relatively high cost performance.

Looking at A'Jiu, covered in dust and dirt, Old Xu suddenly couldn't help pointing at him and laughing.

Everything that happened that night was not entirely because of the transaction with Shen Ruzhen. She had asked herself, if there hadn't been the matter with Shen Ruzhen, would she have been so proactive?

"No, His Majesty went, but before he could begin, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted. This morning court ended hastily in such chaos. But I don't know more than that. My position doesn't qualify me to attend court, I can only glean a little from the conversations of the superiors in the Dali Temple," Xie Huaichu said.

I was muddled, as if in a dream. I followed Liao Jianzhong out of the Huangji Gate. Hua Shichun and the others crowded around. Liao Jianzhong simply said, "The matter is settled, everyone follow me out of the palace!" and said no more.

"Lord Lu, why don't you ask about your dismissal?" The first thing Xie Huaichu said after sitting down was this question.

Chu Anning had long known that the relationship between Zhou Yinghuai and herself was probably beyond repair. It was just that people always have some wishful thinking in their hearts, feeling that things had been over for a long time and everything would be different.
