Chapter 37: Truly Heartless

Xu Shanyi lifted his eyes. “Who said I was going to marry He Ruxue? The eldest daughter met with Mingchuan just a few days ago, now they want to push the younger one onto Yancheng. Is the He family running out of suitors and trying to latch onto my two grandsons? Hmph, that He Feng is utterly shameless.”

Xu Jiaheng was speechless.

Well then, Xu Jiaheng thought, with him...

First came a round of broad praise, then Zhao Luxue was granted the title of Grand General of the Western Army, with Zhao Jie as her deputy. The rest was a handful of indifferent rewards, all of which Lu Li had anticipated.

After all, such matters could not be conducted openly in broad daylight; it would be far too shocking.

As artificial intelligence lifeforms became more refined, Ye Wuya’s status panel also appeared.

No one knew how long she would remain in this void. The force of teleportation was too strong; she was forced to summon the Holy Armor Shield for protection.

Charles and David exchanged helpless glances, shrugging at each other. They had thought the task Lisko assigned was merely a simple airport pickup, but now it seemed it would not be so easy to accomplish.

“Father, you’ve been gone secretly for two days. Did you return to Sword Sect?” Baili Xiaoran finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the newcomer.

The room was indeed very bare, with no decorations. Other than a round table, a few chairs, and a camp bed, there were only some odds and ends and animal pelts. A fireplace stood in one corner, and above it hung a massive wolf’s head.

“I was too embarrassed to ask earlier, but why did that black slave attack me? You’d clearly told him to stand down.” Payne inquired.

Three hundred thousand was enough for an ordinary family to live for three to five years, but for the wealthy, it amounted to no more than a single evening’s drinks.

This was the beauty of a pickup truck: you never had to worry about space. You could even haul a trailer. In America, many families did just that—a pickup served as both cargo hauler and, at times, even stood in for a semi. Sometimes, it even moonlighted as a half-truck.

The families of the capital were as numerous as the stars. Not only did they dominate locally, their influence wound throughout the entire country. As the center of Jiangnan Province, Ning City was naturally intimately connected with the capital.

After receiving the report from the sniper unit, Chen Cixiu immediately called back to reprimand Wang Youping. At the same time, he quickly contacted the frontline headquarters, urging them to make proper arrangements. The 73rd Army stationed in northern Hunan, currently resting, received orders and swiftly moved to participate in the battle in Hubei.

While the morale of other regiments gradually waned, only the Azure Dragon Guards, like werewolves under a full moon, eyes glowing green, slaughtered the Scarlet Flame Lizards until their screams echoed like ghosts and wolves.

“In terms of production workshops and equipment, we’re still not adequately prepared,” Yue Lingwan added smoothly.

In summary, before partnering with Tianjin Hospital, Chu Yu would have to clarify everything with Song Guodong.

Lu Wenlun’s lips twitched with anger at the memory. Back then, fate seemed to favor him in every way, but suddenly Su Hanlin appeared and ruined any chance he had with Lu Zhirou.

Ye Chen sighed inwardly. It seemed Su Yifei truly hated him to the bone; unable to find him, he even vented his anger on others.

Not to mention forbidden arts—there should have been a wealth of sacred techniques and secret arts. Yet... inside this Sword Tower, not a single set could be found. Not only sacred arts, but even secret techniques for those beyond the Dharma Body realm were absent.

They had to unite as one, or else, when external threats pressed in and internal strife abounded, such a passive position would spell disaster for the Han clan—one misstep and the entire lineage would be doomed.

The young man wasted no words and struck at once, which was exactly what Gu Nian wanted. A swift battle would conserve spiritual power and allow for more rest.
