Chapter 100: Remember
Originally, Gu Zhuo had planned to go to town herself to buy some medicinal herbs, but since Wang Dahu had arrived, it conveniently saved her the trouble. She immediately took ten large notes, wrote out a list, and handed it to him, saying, "Help me purchase the herbs on this list. I’ve already taught you how to control the quality—just make sure it’s roughly right."
Fortunately, unlike in later times, even if the herbs in the market varied in quality, the difference wasn’t too great.
“Got it,” Wang Dahu said. “Just in time, I—”
Ye tried to control it, and to his surprise, the divine turtle obeyed very obediently, stretching its head forward without resistance.
However, the eel trapped upside down in the ice posed a great challenge to everyone: the ship’s hatch was completely sealed under the ice, and the only way to rescue it was to break open the hull. Yet, this brand-new warship donated by White Harbor to the Great Wall was made of thick, sturdy premium wood, covered with a thin layer of ice—cold and hard—far from easy to break.
Still, if such a huge variable were completely ignored, the consequences during an emergency would be catastrophic.
A chill immediately emanated from Song Zheng, sending a shiver down Song Yuan’s spine. He dared not say more and quietly stood beside Song Zheng, waiting for orders or instructions.
“I’ve already spoken with Zhang De. Li Erdan has been found, and he’s not the culprit,” Wang Da said, one hand on the door, seemingly unwilling to let these people in.
Of course, at this point, he was no longer in danger, though he would probably need to spend a month or so recovering in the hospital.
Jin Can nodded, saying that might be possible, but if she returned, it would be a dead end for her—she would never marry that half-dead old man no matter what. I sighed and said, “Fine, then let’s find a chance to make a call.”
The emergence of the Green Shadow Shield greatly relieved Song Zheng’s pressure. The firelight was completely blocked outside by the shield. The green and red beams continuously canceled each other out, but a high-level spiritual talisman could easily kill a Spirit Void realm cultivator. Although the Green Shadow Shield was a high-quality defensive spiritual artifact, resisting a high-level fireball spell would be difficult.
“Based on your previous foundation, even if you learned nothing in the past three years, there’s no way you’d fall to last place, right?” Jiang Liusu suddenly asked.
After so much hatred and pain, that person reentered her world like this, and she found the hardest thing to suppress was the yearning to see him once more.
Yue Yao feigned a look of anxiety and asked in surprise, “Uncle, what happened?” If she hadn’t prepared herself earlier on the road, she might have revealed her emotions.
“Good you came. With just these few pieces of material, how could they possibly harm me!” Ran Yu turned around and, with a single kick, knocked down a bodyguard. Other guards swarmed in, and Ran Yu fought them in a flurry of punches and kicks. Yuan Jin’s face turned green with anger as he led the guards to separate the two sides.
Gao Jingzong casually handed the letter in his hand to Feng Lei, who after reading it passed it to Cui Cheng, who then transferred it to Sima Chenying. After reading, Chenying passed it to the commander of the internal guards, Xu Jingxuan.
Guan Qiong, however, was relentless. “The sun is shining brightly today, and the lotus flowers on the lake are in full bloom. It’s the perfect time for painting. Miss Lian, why don’t you paint a lotus flower for us to see?” Knowing that Yue Yao had no backing, Guan Qiong was unwilling to let her go. As for the Ma family, she didn’t even bother to take notice.
At grandmother’s house in the morning, Lan Rui tutored her younger sister with homework. In the afternoon, her sister clung to Lan Rui, begging her to play. Later, when Grandma saw Yu Xiao come to visit, she was very pleased and repeatedly urged Lan Rui and Yu Xiao to stay for dinner before leaving.
However, Liu Jiaru had no idea that the course of events would far exceed his expectations, surprising him greatly. He had planned to ask Ling Feng about Yu Xiao during the winter break, but in the end, they knew even more than Ling Feng did, and Ling Feng kept questioning them repeatedly.
