Dongcheng Huangtu!
To Li Tianlan, that name sounded completely alien.
Though the Dongcheng Clan, a name of great prestige, was one that he was quite familiar with.
Never in his life had Li Tianlan laid eyes on anything related to the Dongcheng Clan. And yet, upon his arrival in Huating, he already found himself bombarded with tales of the clan. Numerous people had prattled to him about the Dongcheng Clan, about the colossus that had conquered the entire Zhongyuan Province. And if he were to keep count, then the number times that clan's name had rung across his ears was second only to two other prominent names: the Northern Sea's Wang Family and Kunlun City.
From everything he had heard, the Dongcheng Clan was a powerhouse in Zhongzhou's military industry. It was the only clan entitled to represent all corporate giants in Zhongzhou. In fact, many of Zhongzhou's top-secret military enterprises were either directly or indirectly under its control. And not to
The passage of time also meant that their moment of shared proximity would come to an end at some point. And sure enough, Qin Weibai did eventually pull herself away from Li Tianlan's embrace. The moment she left his arms, Qin Weibai went in search for that file she had mentioned before, the same one he had been dying to go through but had refrained himself from doing so out of sheer reluctance to release Qin Weibai from his embrace. The file was awfully thick, and clearly a product of her meticulous and painstaking compilation. From between the covers, a huge stack of A4 papers peeked out. Words crowded those pages in a dense and compact clutter, which was saying an awful lot regarding the level of detail that these documents possessed. The Sky Academy and the Deep-sea Academy are the two most mysterious special warfare academies in Zhongzhou. And a document like this would be a treasure of immeasurable value to any student in Sky Academy. And more so if it somehow fo
When the first tendril of wakefulness reentered Li Tianlan's consciousness, the first thing he noticed was a familiar natural fragrance, which had pervaded his nostrils in an intoxicating manner. Beyond the window, the sun thrived. And even with his eyes closed, the brightness of the sun could be felt. At that, Li Tianlan felt a twinge of disappointment followed by a feeling of reluctance. The night of fantasy and wild passion had ended. And now, a new day had begun. Li Tianlan inhaled deeply as he opened his eyes, all the while making sure to be as quiet as possible. His sight landed upon another pair of eyes, which held two pearlescent gleams in their irises, and were silently observing him. Those were hands down the most beautiful pair of eyes Li Tianlan had ever seen. The soft luster in them contained only the slightest hint of coldness, yet they held not a single modicum of edge or toughness. The eyes are the windows to one's soul. And
Han Yue Palace led a far more obscure existence in Huating, unlike Garden Party, where anyone's identity and status could be represented by a membership card. The history of Han Yue Palace predated Garden Party by many years. During its inception, it had been declared as a public establishment in order to pass the audits. But now, many years later, it had not given out even a single membership card to the outside world. Han Yue Palace had a total acreage of thirty three, so in terms of expanse, it was by no means large. And in most cases, it could even be regarded as a construct of considerable refinement. But due to its lack of expanse, it paled in comparison to other establishments in Huating, that much was without a doubt. Nevertheless, if one were to disregard size, one would truly be able to view the entire place in a new light, where every corner was the epitome of perfection as well as the pinnacle of craftsmanship. Han Yue Palace stood at the southwest c
Li Tianlan was of the opinion that outside the Sky Academy, both Li Baitian and Ning Qiancheng would either be holed up in some flashy, upper-class public establishment the likes of the Garden Party where they would indulge in numerous displays of hedonism, or they would take their cavorting to some other places they deemed passable. After all, such entertainments were undoubtedly affordable to either of them considering their stature and affluence. This was especially true for Li Baitian, who was one of the Four Sword Masters of Mount Shu. Even for a man of his youth, being worthy of that famed sword was sure to grant him considerable seniority among his peers. And with that kind of rank, the guy could pretty much do whatever he wanted in almost any situation. The Sky Academy did not entertain special treatments. But outside the academy, Li Baitian virtually had free reins over his wants and desires. If he wanted a gust of wind or a shower of rain, he could probably g
Everything changed so fast and so weirdly. No one had ever expected that a girl who looked pretty quiet could become so wild and unrestrained in an instant. Seeing this scene, Ning Qiancheng and Li Baitian froze, not to mention Li Tianlan. They had planned to pick up girls, but never did they expect that one of them would be bullied by a girl. Sitting still on the pool table, Li Tianlan took a cigarette with his index finger and middle finger. He failed to react to what had happened quickly. Li Baitian maintained the posture of hitting the ball, and it seemed that he was stunned by all this. There seemed to be some lingering anger on Han Xinyan, who looked gentle and quiet but actually had the demeanor of a sassy girl. She carried the cue and was about to hit Zhang Houlong hard before he could get up. Zhang Houlong, who had long abandoned the idea of struggling, immediately struggled as if he was a pig who was going to be killed while he saw this s
In fact, Li Tianlan did not understand that it didn't matter whether he was loosening the reins only to grasp Wang Yuetong better. As the little princess of the Wang family of Beihai, Wang Yuetong had never been treated like this since childhood. And that was the most important thing. She really appreciated the man who seemed to have countless mysteries on him. The man who looked quiet, but possessed Wind and Thunder Veins and the Feature of the Chosen One. The man who never seemed to be arrogant or impetuous and would always stand in front of her when she was in danger. The man who preferred to do everything neatly and indifferently, even if he was severing the relationship with her. Wang Yuetong did not know what was wrong with all this. She just met with her Second Uncle, but why did everything turn out like this? "Just because of Qin Weibai?" Wang Yuetong did not believe it. If it had anything to do with Qin Weibai, Li Tian
Because of the awkward relationship between Li Tianlan and Wang Yuetong, no one had had fun the entire afternoon. Li Baitian had little interest in billiards. He came to Huating University only because he was tricked to find some beauties here. The quality of the beauties there was no doubt excellent, outstanding indeed. But there was no way he could make her his girlfriend. He was chased by Han Xinyan with a cue in her hand and was unable to tell east from west. After knowing who she was, Li Baitian completely gave up his original thought about her. To put it in his own words, one should find beauties with a simple background. It was even truer for finding girlfriends. Otherwise, a small quarrel between the couple could turn into a collision between two forces and eventually shed blood like a river. That was committing a sin. When his original thought was dispelled, Li Baitian was not in the mood. For the entire afternoon, he was only killing time. Ning
People born with a keen sense would notice a subtle hostility from the surrounding environment. A sensitive intuition was one of the key elements for becoming an expert. The group of six, except Zhang Houlong and Han Xinyan, were all promising genius in Martial Arts. The minute Young Master Zhong's dark and vicious eyes laid on them, Li Tianlan and the others glanced back and gazed at him. The two parties were about ten meters away. The dim light in the bar made it hard for Li Tianlan to see accurately the expression on Young Master Zhong's face. But the latter's eyes were staring intensely at him with clear coldness and hatred. The eyes were on Wang Yuetong, to be precise. "Wang Yuetong?" Li Tianlan was a little surprised. He looked at Wang Yuetong beside him and asked gently, "Who is that?" Clearly, Wang Yuetong noticed Young Master Zhong when he walked toward them. She frowned slightly and held Li Tianlan's hand even tighter subconsciousl
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
