Chapter 142 Taking Responsibility

The system crashed instantly, offering no further response to Beiyu.

Yet at this moment, Beiyu's heartbeat was frantically fast; little did she know she was so easily flustered by a little flirting.

Just like that, Chi Yi's casual move left her mind in complete turmoil.

Chi Yi reached out a hand. "What's wrong?"

"N-nothing, it's nothing."

......

"Otherwise? What's the point of fabricating a lie that can be easily exposed at any moment?" Ji Ren said, "What good would it do me to trick you?"

Because he had previously sung this song in front of his classmates, to avoid exposure, Chen Fan had to rush and publish it first.

Yun Shao opened her eyes, looking at the bright room. She raised her head to gaze at the brilliantly dazzling radiance on the ceiling, resembling crystal and jade, finding it rather novel.

Noticing her figure, Shen Moyao finished his final movement, steadied his stance, and sheathed his long sword.

They had already done their part in helping Jiang Fan, yet they never expected Jiang Fan to be so ignorant of the ways of the world, stubbornly insisting on offending Zheng Zhibo. Wasn't that practically courting death?

Lin Yanke's expression turned somewhat unsightly. This was not what she had anticipated; Yun Shao should have called her in a fit of rage to interrogate her, or come looking for her directly to demand an explanation.

Directly pointing the finger at the Zhao family was a risky move. If the mastermind behind the scenes was not the Zhao family, then Chen Fan might never be able to trace them ever again.

Ji Ren thought feebly in his heart that this Senior Brother Huanglong was truly a wonderful elder—caring towards the younger generation and devoid of any airs, yet always carrying an air of unreliability.

Mother Hua and Caogu were right there in the courtyard. Hearing Qin Zheng's words, they immediately stepped forward to testify on her behalf, repeating the vicious words Mrs. Wang had uttered that day.

Niu Xiu'er rubbed her eyes and stared for a long while. Convinced she was merely seeing things, she resumed her loud wailing.

The next moment, Xiao Zhirou abruptly opened her arms, lunged directly into Lin Shan's embrace, and tightly wrapped her arms around his waist.

Sweeping all the way through, the powerful figures of the Divine Sparrow clan were entirely suppressed. In the end, Xiao Yifeng marched straight up to the patriarch of the Divine Sparrow clan, a chilling murderous intent radiating from his entire body.

"A Level Three desolate beast, and such a massive physical form—what kind of price would its carcass fetch?" A faint voice sounded from nearby.

Though the members of the Lin family were scoundrels constantly plotting to seize power, they were subjected to the surveillance of countless people every single day. If they were to perpetrate such inhuman atrocities like the artificially created warriors of the Westerners, someone would likely have dealt with them long ago.

"This concubine shall strictly obey your Imperial decree." The near-supplicant look of entreaty apparent on the Emperor's aged face made it unbearable for me to look upon him, and I hastily nodded in assent.

Chen Ze acknowledged the order, stepped out of the protective barrier, and straddled the back of the fierce tiger. With a single leap, the tiger soared directly into the air, flying towards the depths of the valley.

The lawyer hurried to intercept Chairman Lian's rising anger, knowing that if the man lost his temper, matters would spiral completely out of control. Being his lawyer, he naturally understood the tactics Ye Hailan was employing.

What was Yuan Zhixun doing right now? From some unknown moment onwards, a lingering trace of anxiety for Yuan Zhixun had taken root in my heart. Was he doing well? Faced with such a predicament, what on earth was he thinking?

As he spoke, the golden light completely dissipated, and the giant gate sank back into the ground, revealing the figures of Zhang Deshuai and Mo Yubai to Zhang Deyi and Luo Feng.

"You!" Mu Yun's mouth twitched. She instantly released her grip on the jade slip, staring at Lin Hao with wide-eyed astonishment and absolute disbelief.

Almost—that meant they hadn't caught him yet. Xue Yihuai tilted his head to look at him, his face practically plastered with three words: *Are you kidding me?*

Just as she was about to bring the wine cup to his lips, Gong Zhanyu violently grabbed her arm, gripping her with excruciating pain.

Bai Qingge, Shang Qishao... all the friends who had walked this path alongside Feng Yunshen had reddening eyes and trembling bodies.
