Chapter 31: A Disgrace at the Banquet

The noblewomen nearby caught wind of this and turned their gazes toward them, some curious, some disdainful, and others mocking.

One elegantly dressed lady chuckled, her tone laced with playful irony, "Is the Grand Tutor's wife being a bit too modest? The Second Young Lady was raised under your own personal guidance; how could she possibly be ignorant of etiquette?"

The lady wore a faint smile, yet she deliberately feigned a look of distress and sighed, "Alas..."

Merke landed on a rock outside the cave and shifted into human form; the fellow was covered in black feathers, dressed in a way that made him look inexplicably like a crow.

Yan Yi believed that with his aptitude as a demonic cultivator, once the three realms were connected, it would be effortless for him to advance not only to the Profound Transformation Realm but even to transcend into the God-Breaking Realm.

She ate several plantains just to quell the lightheadedness caused by hunger. After resting for a moment, she picked dozens more, wrapped them in plantain leaves to carry on her back, and, dragging several large leaves behind her, stepped back into the cave.

"That is merely an excuse. I admire your master, so I wish to find a reason to help you. Is that not allowed?"

At the bottom of the lake, as if sensing the presence of humans outside the Holy Mirror Lake, the ancient beast Taotie thrashed violently, colliding with the lakebed in a desperate attempt to break through the frozen, sacred depths.

He took the will from the safe and then contacted the company's general counsel, the two of them conspiring together in a shameful alliance.

Later, Jason fell out of love and moved on. Consumed by love turned to hate, Medea murdered their two children and used a poisoned garment to kill Jason's new lover. She fled, and Jason eventually died of grief.

After hearing Yi Yun’s account, the Evil Venerable and the Demon Venerable immediately offered their advice: there was only one possibility for such a situation—someone had used their entire lifetime's cultivation to forcibly seal the cultivation mantras for these two techniques within his body.

Upon witnessing this scene, Wang Jie was struck with terror. Unable to wait any longer, he whipped his horse into a gallop, racing toward Dian Wei.

The man possessed an extraordinary air; though he appeared sickly, his movements revealed that he was indeed the eldest son of the Li family.

Gu Mingyu stared at the disconnected phone, thinking to himself that even someone as cold and arrogant as her had moments where she had to lower her pride and beg for help. "Forget it," he mused, "it’s just finding a person. I'll pass it to Human Resources tomorrow; it's hardly any trouble at all."

Wearing eight-centimeter heels and a black business suit, Wang Lan sat in her office, busy on a phone call.

From the moment Yu Subai answered the phone and walked out, everyone in the training room couldn't help but gossip.

Zhang Yuntao also became silent, intentionally avoiding any contact with Su Yi, only occasionally chatting with Wen Xinzhao.

Before this, Yi Wei had never visited a jewelry store, primarily because her finances didn't permit it. She liked the bracelet and thought it looked beautiful, but she truly had no idea how much it cost.

After the meal, the sisters cleaned up together and boiled water for the family to bathe. Su Ji moved the bamboo bed into the courtyard; it was most comfortable to enjoy the evening breeze there after a bath.

Intrigued, Qu Miaoyan tugged on his sleeve, leading him toward the stone bench. She waved the servants away, leaned in with a curious and gossiping expression, and unfolded the light blue handkerchief in her hand.

Chu Wudi stared at the Taiyin and Taiyang at the heart of the grand formation, his expression grave. "The Zhou Tian Star Formation is known alongside the Immortal-Slaughtering Formation, the Myriad Immortal Formation, and the Twelve Divine Heavens and Earthly Fiend Formation as the four great killing formations of the era of the Ancient Heavenly Court. Even a master of the Dao risks falling if they step into it."

Lin Xue was struggling to recall more when the sound of a door opening suddenly broke the silence, and a man with a gentle but roguish appearance walked in.

Just as described in many novels, the group connected the two words and couldn't help but gasp, looking at him in astonishment.

Ordinary people might have been afraid, believing that the common folk should never cross the wealthy, but that only applied to the commoners.

Yanyan was gradually moved by Li Linlang's words. Her voice held a hint of both delight and surprise.
