Chapter 240 My Wealthy Big Sister
"Get what?" Edelweiss uttered incredulously. "Edelweiss still doesn't understand what is going on." Chongxi observed wryly. "Come on," Lin Feng quipped, "Just tell us!"
Big Sister had just finished placing our order. Putting down the menu, she joined into the conversation. "I don't know what happened before. You mentioned just now that Zhang Zhigui is fighting against a cult. An organization. And that organization also covets Little Brother's Shiyan Blade. Don't you find it odd that of all times, Zhang Zhigui turned against us now and has taken the Blade?"
A waitress came back for the menu and Big Sister handed it to her. With a look as if she was staring at a bunch of loony psychos who had just escaped an asylum, the waitress took the menu, spun, and left.
Lin Feng smacked the back of his own head in dawning comprehension. "Oh, my God! I didn't think of that! So that means somebody from the Order of Pain is instigating Zhang Zhigui to take Shi

Adorned in a jet-colored down jacket that came with a hood that fully concealed the person's appearance, I could only guess that this stranger was a woman, although I still knew nothing about her intentions for coming close.Our party of five separated in the middle to allow her to pass, thinking that she might be headed somewhere else and we were only in her way. But instead of walking past through the gap we had opened up for her, she followed me and stopped right in front of me, standing as still as a tree.There was no way I could know what she wanted. But any other people would have been frightened by now by this woman's brusque behavior. Ordinary people would already be dreading if a ghost or a demon was hidden under the hood, but I was sure I would deliver a hard blow with my fists.The hood retracted to reveal a face. Not pale as Death like a ghost would have worn, but a black-colored face mask that completely cloaked the woman's face,

Lin Feng strode to a corner where he found his dart and returned it to its pouch before he rejoined us. Edelweiss hurried back to me, anxious to check on my condition.Big Sister patted on her shoulder gently and gestured for her to remain calm. "I've seen him just now. The wound is deep but his organs are fine. He'll be okay." Edelweiss wiped away her tears, nodding, and she held my hand, still choking between her sobs. "I'm sorry, Shiyan..." I forced a weak smile and pinched her cheek softly. "What is there to be sorry about. I'm fine." "If only I knew what she was going to do, I'd never let her hurt you! Aunt Ulan had instructed me to take good care of you. Yet I..."Well, this is how a strong woman thinks, I mused amid the pain, She would never whine and moan like some teensy little girl and ask how am I. Instead, she only wants to protect me from harm. "Shiyan," Lin Feng suggested and said, "Shouldn't we notify the hotel management? They have surveilla
Once Upon a Time Chapter 243 Nemesis
I was startled by what the officer had just said. He snapped to a salute and introduced himself, "I am Officer Li of the Shanggu Police Station. After some inquiries, I have come to know that you are our colleagues from the Wu Zhong County police."I see, the police officers had run a background check on us, I realized. Due to our countless cooperation with the Wu Zhong police, they have considered us one of them, although technically, we're only consultants no different from auxiliary police officers.Wearing a respectful and polite look, he said, "I have made some calls to Wu Zhong. It seems you have solved a good many cases there. So I guess I would not be far off by saying that this could be some sort of retaliation? A loose end from one of your cases which ended bitterly, I guess?" I shook my head and chuckled. "You're being dramatic, Officer Li. But I believe this is something personal." Finding nothing to contradict me, the officer could only smile s
Once Upon a Time Chapter 244 The Visitor
No one understood what Father was trying to say. No one but Big Sister and I. She nodded. "I see. Little Brother has enough magical powers but he lacks finesse. He needs more understanding and comprehension of high magic."I scratched my head. "Wait," I tried to make myself clear, albeit impatiently, "So, like in an RPG-game, I now possess a high-level technique but I do not have enough experience points to level up? So I still cannot use this high-level technique?" Father frowned at the comparison but he nodded nonetheless. "Roughly put, but yes. You really take after me after all. You remind me of when I was young." And that remark made Mother, who was sitting just beside him, giggled in agreement."So what can I do?" I asked again, vainly earnest for a solution, "Surely you won't tell me that I have to wait until I'm thirty or even fifty before I can use it? And what about Big Sister? She's been using sword telekinesis for barely how many years? Why is i
Once Upon a Time Chapter 245 Purpose
It was the first time Edelweiss had laid eyes on Jin Qichen and naturally, she only understood half of what we were saying. Ponderously, I told her about our visitor, "He is the one behind this whole debacle. A member of the group of people who wish to lay their hands on me and the Shiyan Blade. This Jin Qichen is a son from the line of the Manchus of the Qing Dynasty and so his goal is, as anticipated, the revival of the Qing Empire.""He came unarmed. I could have easily lopped off his head and be done with it. Why did you allow him to leave?" Edelweiss frowned and I pinched gently at her cheeks. "He's the least of our concern for now. To put it frankly, he's only cannon fodder for those so-called comrades of his, a daydreamer who fantasizes about of being emperor. But among those comrades of his that now remained hidden are our true quarries. One of them is my nemesis and the other is that strange but malevolent organization. So Jin Qichen is nothing but an inconsequ
Once Upon a Time Chapter 246 A Former Classmate
"What happened to you, Shiyan? I heard you were injured. How are you now? Where were you hurt? Let me see it!" Lu Shengnan pelted a flurry of questions at me before I could say anything. "How did you know I was hurt?" I almost laughed out loud and she chuckled. "Humph. What makes you think you can keep secrets from us?"Smiling weakly to myself, I shook my head. A rascal that should have been born a boy instead of a girl. She must have heard from somewhere that I was injured although something told me that she was not here only for a simple visit. Lu Shengnan was never known to be fastidious about manners with me and me her as well. "So, what brings you here?" I asked directly. She plopped into the couch opposite mine and lighted herself a cigarette. "I hope I can rely on you to remember most of our classmates in university?"I shook my head and I was serious. Aside from Lu Shengnan, I had almost forgotten everyone else from my class. I was usually distant

"Come on, this is MY rate. An honest one to boot!" I glowered at Lu Shengnan with tremendous exasperation. "What makes you think the rates charged by swindlers and hustlers are the correct ones?"Only Lu Shengnan seemed to misunderstand me. She was thinking I was being too courteous. "Wow, I've known you for so long, Shiyan. This is the first time you're so soft-spoken! I'm not a complete amateur! I know the market rates for exorcising spirits! They usually charge at least tens of thousands!"Edelweiss and I broke into fits of laughter. "And were they effective?" "Urm..." Lu Shengnan stuttered, "Well, I know at least that those Huang Li went to were useless. Otherwise, she would never be forced to come to you. She had looked for more than ten of them, having spent hundreds of thousands for nothing!"Wow, so being a swindler could still be such a lucrative calling, I almost burst into another fit of guffaws. I was pondering on ways to explain to
Once Upon a Time Chapter 248 Better Is a Neighbor
More of the mysteries that haunted me began to unfurl as the hidden hands hiding in the shadows began to show themselves. Among them included a descendant of the Emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Jin Qichen, and the Order of Pain which Zhang Zhigui had been fighting against; and now, our latest discovery, a woman in black whom we discovered to be an heir of Tribe Nine Li, the tribe once led by the legendary tribal leader Chiyou from prehistoric China.According to what paltry information Jin Qichen was willing to divulge, the three parties were vying for the same goal: the possessorship of the Shiyan Blade. What was more, everyone seemed to be aware of the disappearance of the Dragon-slaying Blade and this clearly indicated that anyone could freely reawaken any of the dragon leys and claim them to become king without suffering any consequences and this culminated into a race for the Shiyan Blade.Right now, one of my former classmates from university, Lu Shengn
