What on earth is this?

Ling Ruoxue looked over, only to see the burly man suddenly collapse on the ground, motionless, yet she did not witness her blade piercing him. Liu Xie, meanwhile, quietly instructed Guan Yu to try not to kill Sun Ce, for he favored Guan Yu; even though Guan Yu had only just recovered from his arrow wound, he was still stronger than Sun Ce.

The early impact of the game login device made Mr. and Mrs. Zhuang calm down and reflect accordingly. “Enough, let’s stop here. Go in and check on Lin Xing,” Li Yue said, her head aching badly. At this moment, Dora was almost impervious to persuasion, so Li Yue had no choice but to send Dora to Lin Xing’s bedroom.

“Lord Ling, this is the newly compiled auction list. The items we’ll be appraising are right here…” Chen Yangjun held a long auction list and explained to Ling Tian. They had thought that Ye Tian’s escape meant everything would be fine, but now it seemed Ye Tian had gotten himself into enormous trouble.

Lu Sinian’s expression changed, just as he was about to speak up for Su Jian, Su Jian secretly tugged his hand and shook her head at him. Feeling the chill emanating from behind, Yin Tianyu turned to look, and upon seeing the eerie blue glow, he instinctively mimicked the beast’s reaction, retreating two steps and landing hard on the ground.

Before Li Xuan could react, Dongfang Yuechu knelt and bowed to him. The playing card spun rapidly, drifted through the air, swept across dozens of meters, and landed directly in Tang Feng’s hand. Yun Tong considered that even if He Yu was implicated, it would show within three months; if, after three months, he was found innocent, then he could be trusted.

The Ace of Hearts outranked the King of Hearts, so its position and strength surpassed Ruan Lingqing’s. Otherwise, why would Ruan Lingqing pay such solemn respect upon seeing the Ace? Li Tianchen looked down and discovered that the skyscrapers below were arranged according to a mysterious formation, intricately patterned, the overall shape rectangular and stretching into the distance.

Li Xuan, completely unguarded, opened his heart, showing he had no defenses against Yaya, shedding all armor. “Yes,” Wasim paused for a moment upon hearing this, but answered without hesitation and led the soldiers to confront the elephants. The soldiers, too, paused, some showing fear, but all responded without delay.

“But Sixth Master, in these ten days, our profits haven’t even covered the shop’s expenses, and you’ve ordered us to suspend business. If we keep the doors closed for one or two months, when we tally the accounts at year’s end, it’ll be hard to explain,” the attendant said. Five more Tears of the Void rushed at Susu, who instinctively raised her rainbow wand again, “blocking” the attacks.

“Soldiers, you belong to the Imperial Guards’ Left Wing and the Court Army’s Right Wing—receiving the highest pay and best treatment in all of Ming’s military. Don’t disappoint His Majesty and the Deputy Commander’s expectations…” the speaker declared.

“Fine, I’ll move out, and you can move in. Let’s see if Rui prefers you,” Luo Li snapped, her anger boiling over. Tang Yin was quietly amused, listening to the conversation and guessing at matters she hadn’t previously understood.

Situ Qianchen nodded in understanding, his gaze lingering on the plaque above the State Protector’s Mansion. The bright red silk remained, festive as ever, yet his heart had shattered into pieces. “What happened here? How did things end up like this?” Aunt Yuehe asked as she saw Ning Lan arrive with Lu Yingquan, knowing that the plan had succeeded.

Ji Qiandao had thought the Illusory Gold would win him Tang Lin’s favor, but now it seemed he had been warmly rebuffed, left with nothing for his efforts. “No, no, I can only offer advice. The decision is yours. You’re the most experienced of the three elders, so just issue commands when the time comes,” Wuhua replied politely.

The carriage from the Seventh Prince’s residence rolled gently to the gates of the Duke of Feng’s mansion. Inside, Ling Jiantong nervously clutched her hands, head lowered, lost in thought. Only when Mu Jinghong reminded her they had arrived did her mind return a little.

Ling Luo’s eyes flashed with anger, his aura growing heavier. In recent times, his kingly presence had become more solid and formidable—ordinary cultivators would be uneasy before him. Yet the blood-sweated dragon-horse betrayed no such fear; its limbs bent, but it refused to kneel.

Lu Yingquan’s kindness and conscience had not been extinguished, but now her heart harbored a hatred that nothing could quell except vengeance with her own hands. “She’s back, she returned yesterday!” Yingxia said warmly. Half a month ago, the sect leader had sent Sister Purple Robe on a mission; after ten days, she returned yesterday.

“No need, someone will drive me,” Su Ling shook her head, a playful smile at her lips as she glanced toward a silver-gray BMW that had appeared nearby. After the call connected, Shao Yitian asked his parents what they were doing; his father replied that he and his mother were planting peanuts in the field.

“Brother Monkey, can you tell me why you think this is good?” Shao Yitian asked Sun Wukong. Su Ling nodded, saying little—some matters are best kept in the heart, just as some friends are best remembered in silence.

Unlimited vodka? It wasn’t the first time they’d drunk together—Fulongzhi, that wild girl, had already been knocked out at the corner of the table by the young master last time. Is this a personal vendetta?

“You two keep talking, I won’t disturb you,” Guo Ming said, turning to leave and gently closing the door behind him. One could say that Lu Kang and the others’ hopes were beautiful, but reality struck like a slap across the face.

Well then, it seemed he had become, in his classmates’ eyes, a lazy, unmotivated, underperforming student for no apparent reason.
