Volume 1, Chapter 46: Pickled in Green Tea

Situ Suinian had just parted ways with Yu Jin, watching her walk upstairs, when a hand suddenly appeared from behind and patted his right shoulder.

"Senior Brother!"

He turned around and saw Su Leng.

"Why are you here?"

It was so late; she wasn't at her private studio, nor was she with their teacher, so what brought her to this neighborhood?

"Is Senior Brother worried about me?"

"Chang Feng, you are the strongest early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator Lu has ever seen." The towering shockwaves swept toward Lu Yongdong, but the next moment, Lu Yongdong's figure burst out from the rolling turbulence, with a tortoise shell glowing with yellow light suspended three feet above his head.

In the imperial examination system of the Great Xia Dynasty, both the preliminary examination for scholars and the provincial examination for recommended scholars lasted only a single day. Only the final metropolitan examination for imperial scholars spanned three days. Naturally, the "Metropolitan Examination" attended by the imperial scholars was much more difficult, and its top scorer would be personally appointed by the Emperor as the top scholar, the Zhuangyuan.

Once all preparations were complete, the circular formation began to move forward again. Relying on their numerical advantage, the private soldiers stayed very close to the circular formation. Although they rarely initiated attacks, this tactic delayed the retreat of the Wuling army to a certain extent.

During the year spent in the uninhabited zone and through trials in the ancient divine realm, everyone on the carefree rankings had made significant progress, successively breaking through to the imperial realm. However, surrounded by various powerful factions, this level of cultivation was still far from enough.

"Old Song, you flatter me. I merely had some chance insights and still have many shortcomings. I still need to seek much advice from you all."

Amidst such a fierce battle, Chang Feng did not want to become entangled in any duel with anyone. If he could achieve an instant kill, he would never waste an extra ounce of spiritual power.

"An immortal body? Having cheats is useless; I'll still blast you to pieces." A gleam flashed in Wu Di's eyes, and a rumbling sound echoed within his body. The blood all over him seemed to be boiling at that very moment, and he had elevated his combat power to an unprecedented height.

Qin Feiling discovered that the clumsy methods of the grassland people suddenly threw him off balance, leaving him in a dilemma where advancing and retreating were equally difficult. Yet, if he were to accept the challenge, it would be a double-edged sword. Winning would be fine, but once defeated, it would undoubtedly deal a crushing blow to the high morale of the Liuli army. Therefore, selecting the right person to send into battle was no easy task.

Wu Hao, strolling leisurely along the road, naturally had no idea he was being treated as prey. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

The person standing outside the thatched cottage was a middle-aged man. He wore a dark Taoist robe that clearly looked old and had several patches sewn onto it, yet it was washed immaculately clean.

Thinking of this, Letian consented in his heart, allowing the two of them to vent the melancholy in their minds, lest it leave any psychological shadow.

My lips were intertwined with Duan Jie's, clinging to each other like glue and lacquer. I kissed her upper lip, pecked her lower lip, her chin, her neck, turned to the side to kiss her fragrant cheeks and earlobes, making her breathing gradually grow heavier.

Could he refuse a bestowal from the Emperor? Letian thought to himself, hesitating for a moment before having no choice but to kowtow in gratitude.

Because of the sudden change in technique at the last moment, Huang Ruolin's spiritual power generated a severe conflict within her body, causing blood to instantly overflow from her mouth and nose. Although she didn't die, she was left on the verge of death.

Slowing his pace to draw closer step by step, he didn't know when she would wake up, but right now, he simply wanted to draw near. Because it was her, he was willing to follow the promptings of his heart and his own impulse to approach.

Tang Yun glanced sideways at him. Wasn't that Lu Xun, the son of Lu, the Vice Minister of Revenue? With this wealthy and imposing demeanor, just how terrified was he that people wouldn't know his father had so many shady professions?

Letian handed the clock business over to Chi Qi to manage. On one hand, this would train Chi Qi so he could shoulder heavy responsibilities in the future; on the other hand, it would allow Chi Qi to earn a commission from the shops, giving him the incentive to exert himself well for the future.

Once things were settled on Mo Jiuxing's side, Divine Doctor Jiang and Lou Qianjin left together. As soon as they reached the room where Lou Qianjin was temporarily staying, Lou Qianjin could no longer hold on; had Divine Doctor Jiang not supported him, he likely would have collapsed.
