Chapter 112: Saying One Thing While Meaning Another

Dong Yue retreated several steps in a row, putting distance between herself and Lu Fei. She was afraid that if she kept getting closer to him, she would truly lose control.

If Lu Fei had not already had a girlfriend, she would have been willing to fall like this into his arms, but he already did.

She must never make such a mistake.

“I... the favor I asked you for was only to help me deal with Dong Yuxiang. I didn’t really mean for you to...”

“This, how is that possible?” The capital guards all seemed to be startled by the oppressive aura Xue Rengui released.

Just as they were thinking about how to deal with the Death Beast, they suddenly noticed that its movements had also slowed. At the same time, many wounds had appeared on its body, and even the depths of its eyes had begun to change.

After getting out of the car, Yi Le looked at Ying Lili with concern. Her gait was clearly awkward, one foot bearing more weight than the other.

Yuan Shu liked him immensely, often lamenting, “If only I, Yuan, had a son like Sun Lang, what regret would I have even in death!” So he appointed him as Colonel of Huaiyi and sent him to lead troops against Zuo Lang, the chief of Jing County, and he won. Seeing his bravery and skill, he was then sent to attack Lu Kang, and he returned victorious once more.

Instead, he simply followed the other side’s lead, betting along with them, and kept on winning steadily. The money he had won back in front of him had already more than doubled.

Just as he turned around and had taken only a few steps, Yi Le suddenly froze again, as though a mountain had been pressed onto him, leaving him unable to take another step. Behind him, a heart-rending wail rose up, and she began to cry bitterly.

At that moment, in Xi'an City, Li Shiqi had also rushed into the Yellow Turban Army camp and found Wang Bodang, who was fully armed and ready to depart.

“No, no, no. It’s not that I’m despicable. It’s that you’re too weak. For the weak, the strong can do whatever they please. The weak have no room to resist,” Old Wan said.

These rank-and-file soldiers would face the trial of life and death. Those who fell would never rise again; those who survived would be like phoenixes reborn from the ashes.

In an instant, the entire valley was engulfed in blazing fire, and the entrance to the valley was sealed with a giant boulder. At that point, Yan Liang no longer had the luxury to care about his own troops. He hurriedly led his personal guards in retreat.

Bai Feng was clearly not unharmed. He had taken the force of three explosions and was already injured.

“My belongings, and I should offer them to you? Why shouldn’t you offer yours to me instead?” Xu Tian said, looking at the burly man as though he were an idiot.

“Yu Hao.” An Lin looked at Yu Hao. An Nuoyan also tightened her grip on his arm, deeply worried. By then they both understood. The other side’s strength was enough to crush them.

The two of them left the Beacon Tower together, hand in hand. Bai Feng had already vanished without a trace.

But she knew that killing only the instigator was not enough. Offending an immortal was not something that could be made up for or settled by killing merely a young master.

However, at this moment, Yang Fei clearly was not in the mood to joke. After all, the real business still had not been finished, and right now, the real business was what mattered most.

Besides, the owner of this city would inherit it forever; his descendants would never have the position of city lord taken from them. So the happiest person at the moment was still the lord of Bright Moon City.

“All right, I’ve said everything I should say, and even what I shouldn’t have said. Now I can send you on your way.” The black silhouette moved closer to the white silhouette.

After hanging up, he still wore a smile. Thinking it over, he laughed again, picked up the schedule on the desk, and looked through the dates, feeling deeply satisfied. For their Ma Jun, he had taken on another excellent job. It was truly wonderful.

Li Xiulu had never expected the outcome to turn out like this. Looking back now, even the phone call with the production crew still felt unbelievable.
