Chapter 55: I Like Sensible People

"You certainly know how to play along."

Wu Xing'er offered a word of praise and said no more.

Xie Xu watched as Wu Xing'er lay back down, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes.

Did Wu Xing'er really think she could walk away unscathed after boarding his ship?

A faint smile touched the corner of his lips as the figure of Xie Yuhuai surfaced in his mind.

Xie Yuhuai...

Just as the two of them were waiting anxiously, they suddenly realized they could no longer move. Looking at the test questions, they recalled Ye Tian's stern warning never to stray from the team, and remorse instantly overwhelmed them.

"There are plenty of things you can do. First of all, not everyone is born immensely powerful; you must constantly temper yourselves and grow stronger."

"My parents' lives have been threatened because of your actions, yet you still claim to have top-secret information you cannot share. Confess everything right now, or get out of here with your foolish son." Jiang Dong did not mince words with them, especially since what this family had done was downright malicious.

As he reached beyond the three-point line, Monroe was already front-guarding Dirk, while Big Ben stood nearby, poised to provide help defense.

This kind of behavior was a fairly common gank tactic in high-tier games. Once a top laner is killed after teleporting back to the lane, their game is essentially ruined, missing at least three waves of minion XP and gold. For that outcome, trading even one-for-one was a thoroughly worthwhile endeavor.

This was the second miscalculation Weiyuanzi had made. He shook his head, a vague suspicion forming in his mind regarding Di He's concealment of the truth, and chose not to pursue the topic further.

"Rajon!" Rivers shouted in his raspy voice, and Rondo immediately stripped off his training jersey.

Unable to decline, Jiang Dong had no choice but to accept a few easily portable items at a nominal price. "Fathers and elders, thank you for your generous regard. Everything Jiang Dong has done is part of my duty, and earning everyone's approval brings me the greatest joy." With that, he waved goodbye to the crowd and soared straight up into the sky.

As Mu Jing's Lucian fell, the members of Team UF collapsed one by one beneath their own bot lane inhibitor turret. This time, Team OB achieved a flawless ace, wiping out Team UF without a single casualty on their side.

Yet now, he stood upon the podium, lifting the golden cup that represented the highest honor in the world of basketball.

Chu Tianyu remained silent. Since Yan Jiangtian had already recognized the technique he deployed, there was no need for him to deny it.

There were many things he could not quite figure out, yet everything Liu Tian displayed seemed entirely logical.

Song Yu was slightly dazed. Looking at Zheng Ji, a trace of shyness and warmth flickered deep within her eyes, but she shook her head and said, "There's no need. The company already purchased enough raw materials during my last trip to Myanmar. Besides, although this jadeite boulder is decent, the price is somewhat artificially inflated."

Suddenly, Ye Feng's eyes lit up. With a single explosive stride, he dashed forward to a display case five or six counters away and stared intently at the item inside.

Although he had always held high hopes for Chu Tianyu, he never expected Chu Tianyu to be quite this exceptional.

Cries of agony echoed continuously. The dozen or so accompanying guards had already fallen within moments of the black-clad assassins' appearance. A few sharp-reflexed guards shouted in unison, "Protect the Princess!" and hastily drew their swords, forming a defensive circle around the sedan chair. The deafening clash of steel rang out incessantly as pedestrians on the street shrieked in terror, scattering in all directions to flee for their lives.

Fifteen minutes later, the man arrived at the office building housing Jiangyu Weekly, strode past the entrance, and headed straight inside.

A coward would not brave life and death time and time again; a coward would not repeatedly risk their life to save their teammates.

Witnessing this scene, the young man's expression remained unchanged, though a strange gleam flashed in his eyes. With a flick of his finger, he pointed forward. A circular shield formed from dense spiritual energy materialized instantly before him.
