Chapter 13116 — Business Is Business

Wei Zhao laughed. "Business is business—even between blood brothers the accounts must be settled clear. If it's owed, it gets paid."

Li Jinwang spoke up of his own accord. "No need for the two of you to keep shoving it back and forth. We all came out here risking our necks, and none of it's been easy. These four high-grade divine artifacts—I'll cover them."

He Piaoliang's eyes lit up. "Well, since the big boss himself has spoken, I won't stand on ceremony! Much obliged for the big boss's generous gift!"

The rest of them—Chen Feng and the others—didn't fuss over it either.

Had it been a favor from Wei Zhao, they would have felt uneasy about it...

"I'm sorry." In this matter, she truly had been in the wrong from the start; those three words were all she could say.

After Chu Hui finished speaking, her face went another shade paler, as though she had thought of something utterly terrifying, and even her body would not stop trembling faintly. She pinched her own palm hard, forcing herself not to dwell on those unbearable memories.

Zhong Yue stared at the phone in his hand, his mind still chewing over what Xu Hui had just said. She had resigned, and she was gone. Why resign? Where had she gone?

After studying it for a long while, Mu Xifeng still could not work out how to use the divine diagram, so he decided to leave seclusion.

Seven days outside, and within that single instant of a hundred years lay seven hundred days—over two years' time, and for Mu Xifeng that was enough to accomplish a great many things.

He had known her for four years, and often she would drift unwittingly into another world—sometimes just a flicker in her gaze, sometimes a long withdrawal into herself. That was her own spiritual world, a dreamlike realm he had tried countless times to enter and never could.

Lele was clutching a bottle of iced mineral water she had just bought—clearly it was this that had assaulted my neck.

Swept by Lan Feng's gaze, every one of them shook their heads without exception. Not to mention having no proposal to make—even if they had one, they would not have had the courage to speak it aloud.

The six-legged heavenly dragon had gathered its strength for a long while, but in the end it abandoned its attacking posture and once more menaced Young Master Mu and his companion. That let the heart Young Master Mu had lodged in his throat settle back down—he had won his gamble! So this heavenly dragon really was an illusion; otherwise, how could a grand heavenly dragon be so reasonable?

Baili Zhihong was knocked back two steps by my punch. I stood there stiff and rigid, slowly drawing my hand back, my fist trembling slightly. I lowered my head and sucked in a breath through gritted teeth... it hurt far too much.

Hearing his son's question, Squire Wang smiled and stroked his beard. Having cut his way through the business world for so many years, he naturally understood.

Once in the car, Wen Cheng made a hush gesture at him. Ling Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and only then did he notice that Gu Yingge had fallen asleep at some point.

Suddenly, an inexplicable chill gripped Shan Xiong's heart, jolting him out of his delight. Why would the royal house suddenly bestow such favor? Was it a condition for drawing the Shan family in? Or was there some other hidden 'plot'?

If everything before had been mere conjecture born of Feng Yuan's disappearance, then Duan Qi's departure now had squarely confirmed his intent to rebel. Zhaoxi knew that a hard battle lay ahead.

So the matter Jun Ying had left unhandled before was not because she had no way to resolve it, but because she disdained to bother.

Xiao Chen glanced at Lu Huaichuan and Chen Jingping, smiled faintly, and kicked Yan Wushuang off the Heavenly God Arena, sending him crashing heavily to the ground.

When he had passed on battle techniques to him before, he had asked whether there was anything truly formidable—and now he wanted to use a Realm-Breaking Pill to break through as well.

"Why don't we go down and take a look? If something really is going on, we can deal with it in time! And you won't have to sit here so restless!" Luo Qitian said suddenly.

"This three-story villa covers 150 square meters, with 438 square meters of built area, ten meters tall not counting the sloped roof. It's brick-and-concrete construction. The first floor has two bedrooms, a game room, a kitchen plus bathroom, and a dining room and living room. Out front is the entry terrace—the view's not bad. You can have a look."

Both banks of the river channel had long since filled with a 'tide' of people, and mountain-shaking, sea-roaring cheers rose and fell without pause. Everyone wanted to catch a glimpse of that noble and beautiful royal princess.
