Chapter 193 Secrecy

It was already night by the time they were finally transferred to the hospital ward for intravenous drips. Lin Lu hired two private nurses to look after him, and then returned to the hotel with Gao Yue.
"It looks like we won't be able to go back tomorrow," Gao Yue said.
Lin Lu rubbed her brow. "Let the others go back first. I'll stay here with you for a couple of days."
Gao Yue agreed with her arrangement...
Seeing that Ji Weiyan did not refuse either, but only looked at her with a faint smile, Zhao Qingran assumed he had agreed and gave it no further thought.
Suddenly, a slip of paper was pressed into her palm. Tao Xiu turned his head and, looking somewhat surprised, unfolded it to reveal the names of two or three types of sushi.
Ji Weiyan stared intently at her face, not missing a single expression on it. Seeing that she still remained silent, he curled his lips coldly and slowly spat out a sentence.
Once Cen Qiuli married into the family, she would be the future mistress of the Xue household. Both her dignity and reputation had to be maintained; otherwise, would the household ever know peace?
"Long live my brother!" Hearing this, Gu Qingya jumped three feet high, and taking the banknotes gleefully, she ran right out.
That day remained much like any other. Yan Hongfei's life gradually settled into a regular routine, yet grew increasingly leisurely. Every day, he would accompany Lingling to secretly cut down a bamboo stalk or two in the bamboo grove, crafting a bamboo house or a bamboo bed, and spend the rest of his time engrossed in studying his five architectural designs.
However, hindered in this manner, Fan Chen was reduced to nothing more than a faint dark shadow in its eyes, and in the blink of an eye, even that shadow vanished completely.
The Demonic Cult was heavily guarded. While a martial arts master could manage to break in and out, doing so while carrying a heavy chest was an entirely different matter. Therefore, even if someone knew where the treasure was located, they could never actually take it away.
Others might simply feel heartbroken and distressed for a few days, some perhaps not even recalling it afterward, but the person before her was different. Whether she admitted it or not, that was her sister—her sister, whom she must protect at all times and under any circumstances.
"It's me. What? Have you finally remembered?" A brilliant starlight danced within Gu Qingkuang's eyes.
Meiyang and Fengji remained silent, waiting quietly and patiently with unwavering endurance for the King of Nether Spirits to continue.
Old Liao was drenched in sweat and looked utterly drained. Lin Luoran felt the urge to flee, but her feet were pinned firmly to the ground by this overwhelming pressure, unable to budge an inch.
Mindful of familial ties, the Emperor stripped the Prince of Mo of his title, demoted him to a commoner, and exiled him to the frontier. The Commandant of the Nine Gates, having aided the tyrant, was stripped of his office, had his estate confiscated, and was sentenced to execution in three days with his entire clan exiled, while the garrison commander of Yudu was cast into the Heavenly Prison.
The bloodthirsty carnage of the previous night had been witnessed clearly by the elite cavalry from horseback. Figures clad in the military uniforms of the Yuan Kingdom had slaughtered their way in from the rear like sharp swords, destroying the chance to eliminate Commander Han Yue's main force, which instantly infuriated them and sent them spurring their horses toward Nuan Fei.
"Garen! Why aren't you asking me... why Lux... why Lux stayed behind on Mount Targon?" An Keke shouted toward Garen's retreating back.
The spiritual stones possessed all five elements and were mottled and impure in quality. The rock face alongside the vein of spiritual stones was exceptionally hard, making earth-type spells useless. They had no choice but to honestly pry them loose one by one using flying swords.
"It's your second child, it'll be fine. Just mind your diet and emotions, keep up with some light exercise, and you probably have some experience by now," the doctor said nonchalantly.
Lifting her gaze to see Li Junyan approaching, she smiled foolishly and instinctively burrowed into his embrace.
"Do you want me to come to the amusement park or do you want me to go to work?" Xu Zhaomu blinked, asking with deliberate mischief.
With a single sentence, all of Gu Qingqing's awkwardness was dispelled. She sighed and said nothing more.
When the flashlight beam swept across, Jianghe indeed saw it—a pale, wide-eyed human face.
The temperature slowly dropped, but the vines could not wait for it to return to normal. The upright tips suddenly began to quiver, and streams of green juice sprayed straight forward.
