Supreme Grandpa Chapter 165

Xiang Qingxue nodded immediately. She really did not understand.
Xiang Qingsu said to her, "The last time you were kidnapped, I thought it was strange that you had just arrived in Martial City and had not yet moved into the branch. How did those people know your whereabouts…"
Xiang Qingsu continued with a solemn face, "But this time, you have already enrolled in the Martial League Academy, but that group of people not only did not send go to Martial League Academy, but after breaking into the branch, they went straight to your residence. Their goal and pattern are so clear, hence, it is hard not to be suspicious..."
Xiang Qingxue's expression changed dramatically when she heard this, "Aunt Su, you mean, there is an inner ghost in our Ability Guild?!"
Xiang Qingsu shook her head slightly and said, "It is hard to say, this is just my rough guess. But for your safety, you must not leave my side until the arrival of high-level reinforcements from the headquarter."
"Your niece understands," Xiang Qingxue took a breath and replied cleverly.
…
Li Wanjing's mansion.
Wang Lei suddenly rushed to Li Wanjing who was dealing with some works inside his study and reported, "Master, a powerful person is coming!"
Li Wanjing immediately stopped whatever he was doing and rushed out of the room instantly.
He did not doubt Wang Lei's words.
As soon as Li Wanjing came outside, he saw the visitors had just landed and looked at him.
When he saw the faces of the two visitors, his face instantly solidified and said solemnly and cautiously, "So it's Senior Profound Leaf, I wonder what can I do for you?"
"Can I meet Senior Sword Immortal?" Xiang Qingsu went to the main point without any gibberish.
Li Wanjing's face froze instantly and he wondered how did Xiang Qingsu know that he had a connection with the Sword Immortal.
But soon, he thought of the scene where he encountered Xiang Qingsu that day, and he understood that it was not difficult to guess who was the person inside the car.
He took a deep breath and did not mention anything about that, he just said lightly, "Dare to ask Senior Profound Leaf, what matters do you want to discuss with my Master?"

Hearing the word "Master", Xiang Qingsu's expression did not change, but in her mind, she felt that it was really as she expected. Li Wanjing was really Sword Immortal's subordinate.
Xiang Qingsu did not hesitate to tell him, but not entirely, "This matter is related to our guild, and we can only ask Senior Sword Immortal for help."
Li Wanjing understood that his position was not high enough to stand on the same ground as Xiang Qingsu, so he nodded tacitly and replied, "I see, then can you please for a bit? I will go to inform him right away."
"Then, I have to bother you," Xiang Qingsu nodded.
Then, Li Wanjing retreated and was about to enter the mansion, however, a voice resounded in his ears suddenly, "No need, I'm already here."
No, this voice sounded in everyone's ears!
Xiang Qingsu, Xiang Qingxue, and other people around felt shocked when they saw Yang Song's figure materialized magically, and the position he was standing in was right behind Xiang Qingsu and Xiang Qingxue.
Xiang Qingsu was the most terrified when she saw this scene. Yang Song was right behind her, but she did not sense anything at all, not even a little!
Then, the next scene shocked her and everyone else even more.
With just a blink of an eye, Yang Song's figure suddenly disappeared behind Xiang Qingsu's back and reappeared one meter right in front of Xiang Qingsu instead.
But Li Wanjing was different, he seemed to be used to this. But still, every time he saw this, he still couldn't help but be amazed.
It was Xiang Qingsu and Xiang Qingxue's first time seeing Yang Song so close. His appearance indeed fitted his title, like a banished hermit and solitary immortal. Although his breath was completely concealed, it still couldn't hide his temperament of a worldly expert.
Xiang Qingsu forcefully calmed her heart down, took a deep breath, and said to Yang Song with a bow, "Junior Xiang Qingsu, Ability Guild, has seen senior."
Seeing this, Xiang Qingxue also came back to her senses and followed her aunt's action nervously, "Junior Xiang Qingxue, Ability Guild, has seen senior."
Yang Song's expression did not change, he just said softly, "You seem to be in a hurry, what's the matter?"

Xiang Qingsu understood that Yang Song did not want to talk nonsense, so she hurriedly replied, "Junior doesn't dare to hide from senior, this time, junior harasses senior because junior, no, Ability Guild wants to ask senior for help."
Yang Song did not rush to reply, he was going to ask the matter clearly first, "What's the specific matter?"
Xiang Qingsu did not rush to reply, and then asked tentatively, "If junior may ask, does senior… know how to treat poison?"
"Treat poison?" Yang Song raised his brows, "It depends on what kind of poison it is."
Yang Song was currently, no exaggeration, an extremely strong poison master if not the strongest. He knew thousands of different kinds of poison, so what kind of poison could trouble him? He knew how to poison; he also knew how to cure the poison.
But he did not reveal this information to Xiang Qingsu, there was no need to.
Xiang Qingsu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this answer. Although it was not the answer she wanted, it also did not disappoint her, so she said, "This junior came here this time to ask senior to help save someone."
After thinking for a moment, Yang Song simply nodded and responded.
The Ability Guild had a big business, therefore, the rewards they would pay were certainly not cheap.
There was nothing to act arrogant about regarding this kind of thing, and at the same time, he could also take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about the Ability Guild, one of the five behemoths of C Country.
Yang Song was confident of his own strength.
But he was not a god after all, and many worldly things still couldn't be purely abandoned.
Like money…
The current wealth of the Yang Family might be astonishing, or coupled with the wealth of the top nine families under his control, Yang Song was really a rich person.
However, even with the wealth of those families and his family combined, Yang Song had a hunch that it was still far from being comparable to the Ability Guild's wealth.
Another thing that could not be abandoned – that was, interpersonal relationship.
Needless to say money.
As for the interpersonal relationship, don't forget that the main goal of Yang Song was to become the strongest person, live for eternity, and make his family at the top of the food chain at the same time.
And to achieve that, it was completely not possible without the interpersonal relationship.
It was not bad that Yang Song had the top families under his control in the entire Martial City now, but it was only limited to Martial City. With this said, it was not overrated to say that Yang Song's power was still weak.
At least, he could only be considered strong when he could contend with a country with his own strength alone.
This was Yang Song's personal motto.
Yang Song might act oddly arrogant at times, but beneath that, he was extremely careful and he never underestimated his enemy at all.
Since the Ability Guild wanted to seek his help, it was a good chance for him to broaden his connection and prestige.
Therefore, he must use various methods to accumulate his reputation and show his awe-inspiring strength if the situation allowed and was suitable.
Seeing Yang Song responding, Xiang Qingsu said, "The situation is very urgent, so junior dares to ask senior to follow me as soon as possible."
…
The branch base of the Ability Guild in Martial City was not too close to Li Wanjing's mansion, but with Yang Song and Xiang Qingsu's flight speed, this distance was nothing at all.
From a distance, the three people high in the sky had already seen the lights in part of the base, as well as the light produced by the confrontation of psychic energy!
Upon seeing this, Xiang Qingsu's face changed drastically, her flight speed soared, and she appeared in the branch base in a blink of an eye.
Yang Song also followed quickly.
The situation here was very complicated, there were fighting everywhere, Yang Song couldn't tell who was who, so naturally he wouldn't take action.
And with Xiang Qingsu here, these intruders were actually not a problem.
She held Xiang Qingxue in one hand and her other hand made constant movements on the battlefield.
In less than a moment, the battle was over, and a large number of offenders died and wounded.

Valkyrie's Shadow
In the wake of the Battle of Katze Plains, the banner of Ainz Ooal Gown flies proudly over the city of E-Rantel. The Sorcerous Kingdom has entered the world’s stage to the clamour of death and devastation; the surrounding nations fearfully prepare even as they reel from its calamitous debut. Within the borders of the newly annexed realm, its Human subjects cower in their homes as the Undead openly walk the streets and stalk the lands. Yet, when a destitute noble finds herself under the auspices of an unlikely benefactor, events are set into motion that will resound over the world for ages to come. A kingdom builder based on the events and setting of Kugane Maruyama’s Overlord. In a fantasy world where beings of matchless power are transmigrated from the arbitrary existence of a game, Valkyrie’s Shadow chronicles the lives of the natives whose reality has been turned upside down by their advent. It is the tale of a nation created by the whims of a supreme sovereign, and his unstoppable servants who each have their own, often twisted, interpretations of their Master’s Will. There is no victory in strength; no miracles wrought from magic that will save them: only the inexorable advance of a new world order where those who secure a place of service within will find themselves turned against the world that they once knew. [Slow buildup. Methodical storytelling with a focus on well-rounded kingdom building and character development.]

8 182Oh Arceus, I'm a Pokemon! Now What?
Pokeballs have rules, and everybody, human and pokemon alike, know them; Pokeballs come in many types and colours. Some are good for using at night, others in the water, others are for bigger pokemon. Some catch pokemon better than others, or catch certain types of pokemon better than others. In every case though, there are things that pokeballs do and do not do. They're cheap, they're everywhere. Pokeballs can be resisted. They're never 100% successful. And they don't work on humans. Right? Right? Lux the eevee is in a bit of a pickle. She came into contact with a strange pokeball, and... that's where things started to go wrong. Now she's not quite sure who she is, what she is or where she's going. Oh Arceus, I'm a pokemon! But... now what? Updates weekly (so far). A not-so serious fun jaunt through the pokemon world.
