21 Feigning a System Crash

Lin An had no interest in treating an unruly patient. Should the man wake up now, he would surely start prying into things he had no business knowing. Since there was no immediate way to procure something like anesthetic, knocking him unconscious was naturally the most convenient solution.

As for what needed to be said, that had already been taken care of. Xuan Wuji did not waste any more time and departed immediately, mostly because he feared that staying any longer would become unbearable.

Meng Youzi began a lively conversation with Xuan Wuji, and at that moment, the wine and food were served.

Although the Lady Hu held a title of the second rank, upon meeting the Princess Shunyi, who held a title of the first rank, she was still required to perform the grand kowtow—kneeling three times and bowing nine times.

Furthermore, being able to live in a detached villa in the Lu District was something he would never have even dared to dream of.

As for the disrupted laws, it was because the death laws still lingering within the Demon Dragon’s body had been triggered, causing the space within its claws to become chaotic.

Everyone drank and chatted happily, discussing various insider matters. Everyone felt relaxed and at ease; this was the benefit of having a good relationship, where everything said felt comfortable.

Murong Qing was left with his eyes rolling back, his face rigid, his veins bulging, and he spat out blood as a result of Si Qing’s actions.

Shen Chunlu did not actually look down on Lin Feiyu that much. After all, he was not her son, and she had no business interfering in his affairs, but the fact remained that he was born to the second wife. Having finally found such an opportunity to suppress the second branch of the family, how could Shen Chunlu easily let it pass?

The black wind sweeping across the heavens was like the wind of death blowing from the depths of the Avici Hell. Some, because they were too slow, were struck by the black wind and saw their entire bodies instantly turn into black sand.

Zheng Daniu felt a sense of fear. He did not understand these things, but he knew that Lin Shuying’s maternal family was from the city and that her brothers were government officials; they certainly knew more than he did.

Xie Mu gritted his teeth. He really thought he was being complimented! This Captain of the Chenyue, young as she was, seemed strangely impervious to reason—a trait usually found only in old foxes who had long held positions of power.

However, some did not share this view. They felt that if Lin Shan and his group had not come, perhaps no negligence would have occurred, and the explosion might not have happened. In that case, their factory would still be running smoothly, there would be no need to stop production for several days, and those machines would not have been scrapped. With fewer machines, they feared there might be a reduced need for workers, and some began to panic, worried about their own livelihoods.

A flash of bewilderment crossed Jin Yi’s face; she had no idea what Sheng Jintian was talking about. She had just been feeling quite romantic, yet not a second later, Sheng Jintian brought up his mother. What was this turn of events? What did her feelings have to do with Rong Fen in the slightest?

Just like when the Black Wood God faced his Fire Dragon Staff earlier, Huang Chang suddenly felt a sense of trepidation. His cultivator’s intuition was sounding an alarm... it seemed that something extraordinary was watching him.

This time, the old Master Yan had come personally to propose the marriage. Although the General Yan’s methods were somewhat strange, it was a good match in the end, and Lady Hu was quite satisfied.

Since there was no way to trick Princess Tianmeng into dying, the best strategy was to stay away. Otherwise, if this great demon ever recovered her memory and realized she had been tricked into slavery, there was no telling if she would tear out his soul and refine his spirit.

"Thank you, doctor." Han Lie steadied himself and, with the doctor's help, lay down on the bed.

Huang Chang struck him away with his staff, though he secretly sighed with regret—if the opponent had insisted on trading blows, he would certainly have ended up with his brains smashed in by the Fire Dragon Staff; there would have been no other outcome. As for himself, relying on his artifact-grade armor and various protective talismans, he could easily withstand the opponent's attacks.

"Li Zongren of the Nationalist Army is also with Han Lie now, so we can speak with the Nationalist Army. This should be our most unified moment yet," Commander Mao stated.

"I will rest for a while; you go about your business. Take this money to pay the protection fee." Hearing Ye Tian’s words, a flash of disappointment crossed the manager’s eyes. If Ye Tian had truly been willing to help, what would a mere Green Wolf Gang matter? But since he had flatly refused, that path was effectively blocked.

Han Dong’s emergence injected a driving force for reform, which could indirectly weaken the power of the conservatives.

However, when Lin Jie and the others saw clearly that the white figure before them was a cultivator, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Gone? Where did they go?" Lin Ai asked subconsciously after a moment of confusion. 2B, standing beside her, immediately gave her a disdainful look. Where else would they go? Naturally, they were responding to the call of the network controller for mechanical lifeforms in the world and heading to the No. 4 Mechanical Factory area in the center. Moreover, the person in front of her was one of the masterminds behind it all.

Simply put, until Xu Wuyou broke through to the Great Sovereign realm, Xu Wuyou No. 2 could not utilize power beyond that of the Great Sovereign realm. It was as simple as that.

Then, Qu Batian, holding onto the idea of trying anything, contacted Xu Wuyou privately to tell him that this time it was truly real, he was not lying, and he was holding nothing back.

Moreover, a portion of the company’s staff were from Hong Kong, and it was uncertain whether they could move to Guangzhou to settle down.

"Shi Quan was thrilled. That’s it! I must have it!" Shi Quan danced with excitement, waving his arms through the air as if he were practicing with a weapon.
