Volume 1, Chapter 24: Keeping an Eye on Them

Yan Yongfei said, "They went to a restaurant called Sanshengtang for a meal. The place didn't have any private rooms, so they ate in the main hall. The madam seemed to be enjoying her meal quite a bit."

"Enjoying it?" Ji Yanli frowned. As far as he knew, Shu Xingruo only ever appeared happy when she was with Ji Zhixu. How could she possibly enjoy a meal with Su Rongze?

Seeing the dark clouds gathering on Ji Yanli’s face, Yan Yongfei quickly added, "They didn't look like a couple; there were no intimate gestures between them."

Ji Yanli felt slightly relieved, and the gloom on his face dissipated a little. "Keep someone watching them."

"Yes, Mr. Ji."

Ji Yanli sat back in his chair to continue working, and Yan Yongfei withdrew.

Ji Yanli sent Shu Xingruo...

In this moment and setting, amidst the profusion of flowers, everything felt so fitting. Especially as the gentle spring breeze blew, sweeping up the cherry blossom petals in full bloom, they danced around like a shower of flowers. They landed on my head, my shoulders, and my clothes. Breathing in the waves of sweet fragrance, one could easily become intoxicated in this sea of blossoms.

The only thing I could think of was the Nine-Dragon Boat of the Moon Palace, that treasure ship as bizarre and mysterious as this temple. But why would Wen Ru come here? What is the connection between this temple and the Nine-Dragon Boat of the Moon Palace, and why is the emblem of the Earth Eye the totem of the Ancestral God of the Jiuli?

"Three high-grade spirit stones. Let's go!" Ziyun Yuan shook his head helplessly, took three high-grade spirit stones from his spatial ring, handed them to the ferryman, and said.

Behind me, Hao Jian and the Fatty wanted to help, but their hearts were willing while their strength was lacking; it was simply too late.

Following him offered a sliver of survival; if we had rushed off blindly, we surely would have died even more miserably than before.

Ziyun Yuan had lost count of how many times his back had made intimate contact with the stone wall. Now, he only felt a searing pain in his back, his chest tight and breathless, with no strength left in his limbs.

Meanwhile, a massive flood of memories surged into Jiang Yi's spirit and soul, making his head ache with pressure.

Xue Xinrou looked around in a panic. I signaled for her to calm down. Tianji struggled a few times, but realized it was futile. I scanned the dark, damp room, covered by wooden planks above; we must be beneath the wooden cabin from yesterday, with not a single ray of sunlight able to penetrate here.

However, I did not reveal anything on the surface. After entering the house with her, I pushed her onto the sofa, pulled down her pants, and went inside.

On a slope not far away stood a white tiger. The two sides locked eyes, and the tiger transformed into human form. Yu Wanwan recognized him—wasn't this Aunt Heyin's partner, Shunfeng's father?

Yet, no sooner had Sun Pengju finished speaking than Yang Jian stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar.

Fifteen minutes later, Ding Xiaoyu opened the bathroom door and saw Mo Qingli, who had been bathing the whole time. She heaved a sigh of relief, and the heart that had been hanging in her throat finally settled.

Wu Tianlong was a very cautious man. Knowing that Yang Ming was no ordinary person, he sent Sima Bao to lead the charge and test him.

If there were resources, various secret realms, and magic arrays arranged to temper one's character, it wouldn't need to be this much trouble.

With the five secret vaults within his body opened simultaneously, an earth-shattering aura emanated from him. Despite being only at the early stage of Tongxuan, in this instant, he gave Zhao Wuji an illusion.

Hai Rui and Wang Yongji stood in the pouring rain, staring at the ruins of the magistrate's office, their expressions dazed.

After saying their goodbyes, the group continued on their journey. You Yi watched them walk out of the forest before turning back.

Qin Feng’s eyes went round as he stared at Zhang Keke, who had her hands on her hips and was craning her neck to glare at him. He opened his mouth, but could not utter a word.

These four Mingyuan-stage cultivators had already learned from a friend that Zhao Yishan had been punished by Bao Feng to guard the index finger of Mirror Fang Island for one year.

"Scream all you want; no one will come to save you even if you scream until your throat breaks," Xu Dashan said, using a line often spoken by villains on television.

What happened to the "surround three sides, leave one open" strategy? Do you even understand military tactics? How am I supposed to abandon the city and find a way to survive like this?

Qin Qiu had just started work. In the workshop, several merchandisers were cracking melon seeds and chatting before the boss arrived.

"Hello, I am the manager of Hongyuan Restaurant. If you would like to dine at our restaurant in the future, Madam, I will give you a VIP card later; you are welcome anytime," Manager Liu also spoke up.

However, seeing the disbelief written all over the other person's face, he could only briefly explain what had happened in the Eastern Kingdom, as well as the issue of the Zhang family building's collapse.

The recruitment for the entrepreneurship club reached its peak, the highest it had ever been. By the time recruitment ended, there were 168 official members who had paid the fifty-yuan club activity fee! This number was already equivalent to the size of a mid-sized club in the school.

There were too many possibilities that could disrupt Al's plans, but in reality, these could all be ignored. Because aside from this one road, there was no second exit from Linburg. Rather than waiting for an unknown fate in the White City, it was better to take destiny into one's own hands.

"And also, about that, if you want to sell any equipment, could you consider our Hegemon Guild first? Money is absolutely no issue." Flame, who had already tasted the benefits from Su Ye, immediately seized the opportunity to speak.

With a flash of thought, Long Chen hurriedly pulled open the door and rushed in the direction from which the aura drifted.

Lan Shan dared to talk about borrowing money from Tang Yawen because he was truly prepared. However, what was in his head couldn't be called a plan; it could only be called a route.

In that void, it was a bit blurry, but one could still see an ancient medicine garden, permeating with an astonishing fragrance.

Just as the King of Green Scourge and the visitor from the Wind Valley fell into a tacit battle, the war situation on the King of Hell's side saw a major change.

"Leave it as a souvenir for you." Zhao Chen dropped this line and tossed the gun directly to Mongoose.

The Ten Crown Prince, the Immortal Exile, and the others all shouted in succession at this moment. Although there was a suspicion of bullying with numbers, this concerned the greatest fortune of this Immortal Ancient era—how could it be conceded?

Whether on the Imperial Pass or on the side of the Exotic Army, nothing could be seen; no one knew what had happened in the center of the battlefield.

This was a very quiet banquet. I stayed in a corner, watching these Japanese people bowing and greeting each other, whispering in conversation. I couldn't understand them anyway, so I just held my wine glass and sipped slowly. The Japanese sake didn't suit my taste, but there were no other drinks here. To me, this was a very boring banquet.
