It was midday, and the sun was blazing.
Over the past week, the drizzle had washed away the dust from the air. In the sunshine, the air of Changdao was unspeakably clean and fresh.
The sun was shining brightly in the deep, shaded courtyard. The wind blew across the hair and the leaves, making them shake.
It was a large yard, deep and quiet, surrounded almost entirely by trees and flowers. There was only one cobbled path for two people to walk side by side, winding up to the quaint pavilion in the middle of the courtyard. After the spring, when everything came back to life, the whole yard was luxuriantly green before autumn. Everywhere one looked, there was vitality.
The fragrance of flowers and tea was diffusing in the wind.
Li Tianlan asked, without looking up from the ivory marble table where he had been reading the list, "What does this mean?"
"Literally."
Duke, dressed in a slutty p
In less than one month, Zhuang Huayang had obviously withered a lot. Although the old principal still seemed as cultured and gentle as a middle-aged scholar, the tiredness in his eyes was unavoidable. His skin, which was compact, gradually became slack, with numerous new wrinkles. Zhuang Huayang looked ten years older than a few days earlier. However, even if pining away, the old schoolmaster was in a fine mood, at least, without a pretended smile. Hardly had he seen Li Tianlan through the screen, when he said with a slight smile, "Boy, does everything go well in Changdao?" "It is fine." Li Tianlan replied with a casual air, only thinking about that list he just saw. It would be much better to negotiate with Zhongzhou State as soon as possible. There was no need for Duke's warning, since Li Tianlan naturally knew how to do it. As for the time Li Tianlan spent on arranging and reading ov
Li Tianlan was waiting for information. It seemed that what he could only do was to wait. In the general trend that spread to the whole Dark World and would eventually explode in Changdao, the figure of strong men in the Invincible Realm had become increasingly obvious, as elites frequently came up under the states' plot and in the fights of various major dark forces. Till now, this matter had virtually been beyond everyone's control. Li Tianlan couldn't control the general trend, since he was only the most ordinary participant, one with his own purpose. He waited for the outbreak of the war of Changdao. He waited for the outcome from Zhongzhou State. He even waited for the information about Li Baitian and others. The more depressed he felt, the calmer he was. The curtains in the large study room had been completely pulled, thus, isolating the bright sunshine
If Li Tianlan was concerned about some people in this battle, they were undoubtedly some backbone members of East Emperor Palace. Li Baitian, gay and boisterous, and Ning Qiancheng, a man of few words, were not evil associates, but true friends who could die for each other. The three men met each other due to luck. Previously, there wasn't any information about them, and Li Tianlan also had no way. But now, he had got accurate information. Hence, anyway, Li Tianlan would bring them back. Including Yu Qingyan. From Yu Donglai, the Yu family really contributed all to the Li family. If some incidents occurred to Yu Qingyan, Li Tianlan couldn't imagine how much Yu Donglai might suffer. Dongcheng Rushi was his nominal fiancée. Then, whatever the end of the engagement with Dongcheng Clan would be, at least at present, Dongcheng Clan really supported him. It was this help that made Li Tianlan want to protect the younger Miss of Dongch
The rainstorm was spreading from Dongdu to Zhongjing. The whole city was drowned in rain. The heavy rain was continuously falling from the upper air, and it covered the whole city of Zhongjing and the big forest outside the city. There was water everywhere. The gloomy sky was starting to get dark in the farthest place within sight, as if it was the end of the world. There was no place to escape, no way to move back to. The thick forest had become very muddy because of the heavy rain. There was still dim sunlight outside the forest, but it still felt like at night inside the forest. The dense shadows of the trees seemed to be swallowing the light. The twigs were swaying along with the wind and rain, and leaves were falling. In such a dangerous situation, every tree in the dark forest seemed to be showing their bare fangs and waving their brandish claws, radiating a sense of creepiness and ferociousnes
Prince Renwu took a step back subconsciously, and his face looked stiffened. "Silence the famous sword?" He asked seriously while watching Dongcheng Rushi walking forward. There were 12 Murderous Weapons in the Dark World, but there wasn't a list for famous swords. Although there wasn't a ranking for swords, Silence the sword was definitely one of the most famous swords in the Dark World. Six superiors of the Invincible Realm had appeared one after another in Jade Pool in the recent five hundred years, all of which were ones of the most powerful grandmasters of swordsmanship in the Dark World. And among the six superiors of the Invincible Realm, three of them had used Silence the sword as their sabers. The most recent superior of the Invincible Realm in Jade Pool died twenty years ago. Ever since his death, Silence had been really silent. The Dark World was forgetful, but it also respected superiors.
It seemed like she was rising, and it seemed like she was falling. Like the clear moon, the sword light rose up in the rain. The sword lights were intertwining together in the air, stirring the wind, the clouds, and the night rain. The raging sword intent flowed down under the crystal clear sword lights. It was the unique technique of Jade Pool. The Sword Move of the Flying Fairy from Outer Space! Under the sword light, the Silence was still sharp and bright, but Dongcheng Rushi became the only existence in the world. She held the sword and flew up in the air. It was unutterably elegant and beautiful. She was like the morning dew, the wind and the mist, illusory like a dream, ethereal and out of the world. This was a sword strike too beautiful to be real. According to its demeanor instead of its movement, it was an invincible strike. The world was like a hazy
The bloody mist spread around in the air under the night sky. Rattlesnake's scream seemed to be still echoing in the air, but the strong sword intent that swept off hundreds of meters in a second had dissipated. Everything happened so fast that it felt like an illusion. Only the blood mist in the air could prove what just happened. Blood, flesh, bones, and viscera. That sharp sword intent rushed through, and everything got crushed into powder. Rattlesnake. She used to be the top General of Night Spirit, and she might have secretly surpassed the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm. Rattlesnake, who was a half step to Invincible Realm, rushed in front and directly confronted the ultimate sword intent. The night breeze blew, the slim raindrops fell, and the blood mist floated in the air for a short while then quickly disappeared. There seemed to be no trace of Rattlesnake's existence to be
There had never been the perfect unique technique of Martial Arts in this world. Imperfection was not a weakness, but it was having shortcomings in some respects. Martial Arts were perfection, and the so-called unique technique was people chasing after some kind of power when practising Martial Arts. Like the ultimate speed, the ultimate explosive power, the ultimate sword energy, or the ultimate defense. When they were chasing after the extremes, they had to give something up. When they didn't need to take care of anything else, they could be fully focused, and that was what extreme was about. The Map of God of War from the Li family was like this. The Six Paths of Reincarnation from the Wang family of Beihai was like this. The unique technique of Wuji Palace was also like this. The Dark Ambush! The key of this move was the ambush part, and also the dark par
Li Tianlan was no stranger to the name Gu Qingfeng.This was the head of the Gu Clan before Gu Xingyun, the father of Gu Qianchuan, back then it was also him who obtained the statehood jade seal and jewels, then he was sneak attacked by Liu Tianqing of the Liu family in Huating and fell, while Liu Tianqing barely entered the invincible realm in the process of figuring out the statehood jade seal, and finally more than ten years ago he fought a duel with Situ Cangyue in the Mt. Taibai, and Liu Tianqing was defeated and died, the City of Sighs rose to prominence, and the status of the Liu family fell, and finally when facing the Li Tianlan in order to protect himself, he handed over the jade seal to him, and he in turn handed it over to Hijack.An emotion that was hard to describe surrounded his heart, Li Tianlan reached out and touched his chin, "Gu Qingfeng was disloyal to Li?""It's more than infidelity."Li Ruoxi shook her head, "It's hate, and resentment,
The Saint didn't say anything more after the call, just said that His Majesty was in Huating and would be coming over soon, then left Li Ruoxi's hospital room.With Ruoxi's awakening, whether she leaves or stays is not really the Saint's main concern; after sitting in the sanatorium for nearly two years, he's just a little tired of it, and with Ruoxi's awakening, his mission is almost complete.The Deputy Palace Master of the Eastern Palace, sitting in the South of Heaven, took a certain amount of time to complete the handover with the Military Master, and was in charge of the intelligence and hidden forces of the Eastern Palace with the assistance of the Military Master.It was a future he looked forward to more than sitting in a nursing home.He walked out of the hospital room and closed the door.The moment the door to the room closed, through the crack, he glanced into the hospital room.In the middle of the line of sight, Li Ruoxi sat up, rea
For a short time after the awakening, the sanatorium was a busy place everywhere.This sanatorium was originally a property of the Mansion Group, and in the past, it received some retired old people or injured people within the group. In the past two years, batch after batch of state-of-the-art medical equipment had been sent to the hospital in an unceasing stream, and the hospital side was also constantly introducing talents, organizing exchanges, and learning from experience.For the time being, this sanatorium, which does not have a specific name and is not open to the public, can be said to be at the top of the world in terms of both hardware equipment and medical technology.Situ Cangyue, Wei Kunlun, Gongsun Qi, Li Xiangsheng, Hijacking, Dongcheng Ruyi, Li Ruoxi...One by one, big and powerful people have spent time here.Two years had passed, and one by one, the wounded who had come out of the chaos that had swept across the entire dark world had
The interior of the private jet is spacious, yet it doesn't strive for excessive luxury and extravagance, and every detail appears to be exquisite and comfortable.Zhou Yu stepped through the hatch and was led by Han Xinyan past the lounge area, and was eventually brought into the brightly lit parlor area.The soft leather sofas were regularly arranged, the soft carpet was like cloud cotton, the parlor area was surrounded by slight and soft music, the crystal coffee table in the central area of the sofa was decorated with a fruit plate, when Zhou Yu walked in, Li Tianlan, who had a somewhat pale face, was pouring water into the teapot.It's simply pouring water.Put the tea leaves in a teapot, pour in the hot water, and after a few moments, in pour the water into a cup.Not technical at all.But the tea was good, or very good, so the aroma of the tea quickly filled in as the hot water was infused.Seemingly sensing the sound of footsteps, th
As the cabin door closed, the distant sound of shattering and the loud noise from the crowd finally came through.The red-faced Zhong Yongming was trembling stiffly.All of the other council members, including Mayor Walding, looked at each other in disbelief.Everyone's face wore a blank look.It even included the two peak Surprising Thunder Realm experts from Kunlun City behind Gu Xian Yan."What... What's wrong?"I don't know who suddenly asked, asking the question in everyone's heart.They had indeed seen that young sire of the Eastern Imperial Palace just now.In a short time, he took one step down the gangway.Everyone's looking at him.It was a split second.His feet landed on the ground and he took a step forward.Then he turned, and walked back.The hatch closed."This... What the hell?"The Deputy Speaker who came from the Prince Group muttered blankly to himself, and then became a bit
When the urgent phone rang, Chen Fangqing, who had just gotten some sleep, opened his eyes somewhat blankly.He lay stagnant on the bed, his mind seemed to still survive the vague dream he had just seemingly slept and woke up, the cell phone ringing persistently, he lay dumbfounded for a while, and finally answered the phone when it rang for the second time.Yuan Lin's voice rang out on the other end of the line, urgent and grave, "Prime Minister, there's news from Hua Ting."Chen Fangqing's body shook, confusion and sleepiness instantly disappeared without a trace, he sat up from the bed in a flash, endured the feeling of dizziness coming from his brain, and subconsciously looked at his watch."I thought the flight was at nine o'clock at night?"He frowned, "So quickly? Never chose to act at the airport?"Yuan Lin's voice trailed off as he spoke, "Uh, no, it's news from the Huating Council."His thoughts seemed to be somewhat confused, "Reg
Received a few subordinates, approved some documents, made some instructions on the development plan for next year of one of Huating's subordinate districts, transferred part of the documents to the city government, and when the work was about to be done, the phone rang suddenly.Zhong Yongming, who was already thinking about dinner, frowned slightly, and after some thought, he still picked up the phone."Speaker, it's me, Zheng Ye."A calm voice rang out on the phone, speaking faster.Zhong Yongming narrowed his eyes and let out a hmmm.Zheng Ye is one of the council members of the Huating Council, the position of secretary general means that he is Zhong Yongming's absolute beloved, in the thirteen council members of Huating, Zheng Ye is the youngest one, but extremely capable, Huating in recent years changed two mayors, but the relationship with the council and the city were well coordinated by him, as the council's great steward, with him, Zhong Yong
The sunlight cast in through the window.On the marble table with a few exquisite desserts were classified documents issued from the Mid-Continent Council in the past year, the contents of the documents were all kinds of things, including Mid-Continent policies, diplomatic guidelines, internal reorganization... All kinds of news became words, clearly printed on the paper.The soft and petite looking palm gently stroked the documents in front of her, and the places where the crystalline jade-like fingers occasionally rested were basically the key places on the documents.She sat quietly , the side of her body to the window of the sun, under the shroud of light, it was an incomparably delicate and dreamy but extremely childish face.The papers went through a little bit, and soon the last one was reached.This is a confidential document issued by the Mid-Continent Council three days ago, and it is restricted to leaders at the level of Mid-Continent council
The Warlord is now the Chief Financial Officer of the Eastern Palace.This position can be said to be a real position of power, hidden power may not be worse than the two vice palace masters how much, that is a person under a person on top of absolutely not too much.But Li Tianlan didn't like the Warlord.Or very little.Even though he brought with him the Shengshi Fund, he also brought with him some of that great wealth outside of the Shengshi Fund that had not come to light but already belonged to Li Tianlan.But a dislike is a dislike.No one would like a talent who obviously still has enough ability to even be at his peak but doesn't want to assist him but spends all his time thinking about retirement.That's the kind of person the Master at Arms is.Not to mention that his personal state of force did not show the slightest sign of decline, even if he was now an invalid who couldn't hold a sword, his many years of experience in th
