28 Another Big Order

In his view, when it came to matters involving government officials or the powerful, commoners were utterly helpless.

As for why the poet Chen later claimed that John Lone was difficult and demanding, one only need look at his subsequent angry retort to netizens to see that he was likely just making excuses for his own decision to recast the role.

In the Cangling Sea region, there are three mainstream methods for testing spiritual roots: the spirit-testing platform, the spirit-testing disk, and the spirit-testing bead.

Gong Daiyu’s mind raced through memories like a flickering lantern. Since she was going to die, the throne might as well go to her younger sister. Ultimately, her thoughts settled on the image of Yun Lang.

The two returned to their respective homes; Ao Xi went back to the police station, while Zhuo Ning said she was going to school to hang out with Tan Ying and the others and wouldn’t be back tonight.

From this perspective, heaven is indeed unfair, allowing some to be born with things that others must struggle for many years to attain.

"You can talk about me, but leave my parents out of it. If you dare to insult my parents again, I’ll tear your mouth apart," Chu Tian said, his face full of menace.

They only hoped that Li Shaolong would attend their press conference to help them explain to the media that they had not breached the contract, and that it was all just a beautiful misunderstanding.

Zhu Ziyue was still on the road to exile; even if she had the heart to help, there was little she could do.

Watching the incomparably beautiful Diaochan and listening to her zither music, Cao Ang began to drink alone.

It might have been better in the past. We’ve been married and registered for nine years now. For the first year or two, he didn't gamble. When we got married, it was modest—when I married him, he had nothing. There were two brothers, and the family only had one house, and it was one of those mud-brick ones.

Er Gouzi felt as if he had spoken without thinking. Although this was what he truly desired, it was impossible, and he had never dared to hope for it.

Once or twice was fine, but now he drew the number four slip almost every time. It left Yi Dun laughing and crying at the same time.

As Yi Dun said, although wrestling is a combat sport, it is arguably the safest one of all.

Lu Shaozheng ignored her, strode to the door, and entered the code. With a "click," the door opened. He carried the sleeping Meijing into the house, walked to the living room, and placed her on the sofa.

If anyone else had treated her this way, she wouldn’t have even glanced at him and would have walked away immediately, but because it was Zhang Gaoxing, everything was different.

Several days passed, and there was still no sign of Yi Xingluo waking up. Even the dean was alarmed. Nie Nanfeng glared at them with a dark face, as if he would tear the hospital down if she didn't wake up soon.

Qiao Yu nodded. Only after personally interacting with Chen Yuan did one realize that he was not a person who would back down easily.

Although they were not top-tier athletes, each of their records exceeded the standard for a national second-tier marathon runner; otherwise, they wouldn’t have had their eyes on the marathon prize money.

"To be honest, I’m curious, what would happen if you ate a jianbing guozi?" Chu Ran asked with interest.

Although his intuition didn't signal any great danger, he still felt that something was amiss. Moreover, Lu Chuan was inherently suspicious of such "pies falling from the sky."

"No need," Xie Luanyin said. Just as the Yan father and son were looking at her with suspicion, hurried footsteps came from outside the barracks. It was Peng Wei, whom Qi Shen had not taken with him, arriving in a rush, carrying a bundle in his hands.

After crossing a concrete platform, the group found the road ended, and the remaining path was a bumpy mountain trail.

Li Xiu muttered to himself that it was just as he thought. After hearing the Rhino Demon King’s rebuttal, he understood the key to how these demon clans had hidden themselves. It seemed these demon kings were merely pawns planted by the Great Demon Saints to plunder this primeval world once the restrictions were lifted.

Facing the expectant gazes of Aunt Liu and Lin Jiaro, he raised his head, his heavy tone reaching Old Madam Lin just as she appeared at the doorway.

Yang San was stunned by Luan Fei’s words. Although they were unpleasant to hear, upon closer reflection, they were not without reason.

"Of course, this price is just right. I suppose this is not Elder Liang’s first time selling holy water." Not only was Li Si very satisfied, but the other cultivators present also nodded in secret.

Qi Shen was not a man who lacked patience; he simply didn't want to waste time, so he compromised and spoke first.

I understood; since the top scholar lived here, even the smallest matter would spread through the neighborhood.

"However, what is reassuring is that his target this time is Lord Shi'an, so as long as he returns and hears the rumors about the Lord, if he is smart, he will likely give up. Am I not right, Deacon Qu?" Deacon Qu took over the conversation.

Su Jingwen had initially felt some guilt toward Chen Ziyu, but after seeing him resort to violence, that trace of guilt vanished instantly.

The stall owner said he had been selling goods here for over a decade, which was merely an implication to Li Yutong that his shop was "established" and reliable. He praised her for her keen eye and described the sources of his quality goods—layer upon layer, appearing sincere, but all a trap.

His broad shoulders and narrow waist were set off beautifully by his military uniform. Looking at his features—his clean forehead and the fluffy, side-parted hair—he looked incredibly mesmerizing.

When it came time to pay, Su Zhi insisted that she use Fang Jidong’s card. Shen Yuxi refused, but Su Zhi fished it out of her bag anyway. "What’s the harm in using it just once?" she said, handing it to the clerk.

Most importantly, with the support of her parents and brother, she had found a boyfriend with the intention of marriage.

If she remembered correctly, Qin Yiqing’s biological mother was a pipa player on the Qinhuai River. As for how she managed to get Qin Yu to break his own rules and bring her home, she must have had her own unique charms.

Qin Wenbo: I went to great lengths to have the Emperor transfer Qin Wenyu to the border, not so he could make a glorious triumphant return and completely bewitch Caiwei.

Amidst the terrified gazes of the crowd on the side of the road, a commercial vehicle suddenly rushed over and came to an abrupt, screeching halt.

Hearing Shu Yan’s voice, something that had been hanging in Feng Qi’s heart for a long time came crashing down. That sense of stability was as if she had finally found a towering pillar of support in that instant. If her fall into the demonic path had been like cutting off all expectations and attachments, then Shu Yan was an entirely different existence to her.

Zhou Zhou’s heart skipped a beat. Xiao Quan had never overstepped his bounds before; what was wrong with him today?

With a single palm strike, a massive wolf-like martial spirit roared behind him, and the surging energy of heaven and earth transformed into a giant palm, slamming down toward Fang Han’s head.
