Chapter 139: Fending Off Unwanted Admirers

Jiang Guoqing was utterly baffled and perplexed. Why had his personal charm plummeted so drastically after just one trip to the countryside?

Once Meng Yu demonstrated her strength, everyone was convinced that this young man had undoubtedly made full preparations to flee.

Even Mu Zhenting firmly believed in the relationship between the two of them. Therefore, when news regarding Professor Pei arrived, Mu Zhenting's first thought was naturally that the professor must have news of Li Xuan.

The leftover ingredients in the cafeteria's back kitchen could be taken home—this was universally recognized as the tangible perk of being a head chef.

Even in a clash destined not to end in mutual destruction, when blades met the enemy or the opponent's sharp edge thrust forward, one's courage might shatter or burn with even fiercer intensity. This hundred-man vanguard belonged to the latter, their tragic fierceness surpassing even the first round's thousand-man battle.

Naturally, Qi Yanming would not speak of these matters to Qi Sheng's family; he would not undermine his own prestige as the head of the household.

Within the span of an incense stick, disciples with cultivation bases at the Foundation Establishment stage or higher had been summoned, and several elders subsequently arrived in the main hall.

Elderly people often have poor hearing, so when they make phone calls, they tend to speak very loudly, fearing that the person on the other end won't hear them.

Once such a conjecture formed in her mind, Pei Youxi felt that the way Mu Zhenting looked at her became rather strange.

The scripture room located on the inner side of Zhongli Wa. This scripture room was not the tranquil study of a wealthy household; rather, it was draped in a layer of mystery.

Do not be fooled by Zhang Yang's ease in the face of the hurricane; that was simply because he possessed the "Immovable Amidst Eight Winds" technique.

Zhou Handan nodded with outward composure, while inwardly scoffing. Her ill-fated younger sister was truly confident; upon receiving her message, she actually dared to enter the palace. A wave of stifled resentment and annoyance instantly rose within her. This sensation of being manipulated by others was truly unpleasant.

This Xiao Zhan was also a man of thin fortune. In the previous life, when the king fell gravely ill, the crown prince seized the opportunity to frame him with the crime of colluding with the enemy and committing treason. Before the king could even investigate the matter, he was inexplicably executed at his own home.

Li Yanhe wore a charming smile upon hearing Lin Miaomiao's words, and consequently, for the upcoming week, Lin Miaomiao brought Li Yanhe stewed chicken soup every single day.

Tang Xi sat on the sofa, dialing Gu Kexin's phone for the thirtieth time. The prompt remained that the call was unanswered. With a dark expression, she stubbornly redialed it over and over again.

They were unwilling to participate in uphill battles, but when it came to downhill battles, they were still willing to chime in.

His voice was booming, and when he laughed, the leaves on the nearby tree rustled violently. Xie Yanzhen was also startled by the laughter and immediately turned back to hug Fu Wan's thigh.

Tang Xi stood by the roadside, watching the taxi drive away, massaged her brow, sighed, walked over to a secluded street, and got into a BMW sedan.

To Fu Wan's ears, the sound of those leaves was essentially the large banyan tree cursing aloud, accusing He Rong of disturbing its peace.

After all, she was different. If these words were said to Zhan Jinrong, he probably would have already collapsed onto the ground and played dead.

The Second Prince had been kind to her and her husband, and she would need his help again in the near future. This time, she would just consider it doing him a favor of convenience.

Everything seemed completely normal. Aside from the running footsteps occasionally echoing down the hallway, there was nothing unusual in the entire dormitory building.

After accompanying Banggen and the others for breakfast in the back courtyard, and supervising Huaihua and Fengye—who had woken up later—in starting their training in the middle courtyard, the First Elder directly informed the First Matron and the others that he was going out to help a friend.

Starting from the sixth game of the match, the opponent's playing style had consistently given them a deeply familiar feeling.

Therefore, she raised her head toward Jiang Zhi as if seeking help, only to find that he had been watching her all along, startling her so much that she shivered all over.

Filled with joy, she impatiently drank the remaining sacred spring water, only to feel a refreshing sensation coursing through her body. Like washing a dirty garment, it flushed the impurities out through the fabric's weave, while the grime accumulated in her own flesh was expelled through her pores.

Tang Xi looked at the thorn-like gaze of Huaihuai for a long time without speaking; she could tell that Huaihuai was suspecting him.

Putting aside the affairs of the brave and resolute Marquis's Mansion, from her perspective, Zhao Yi'er's initial approach was entirely correct.

Just as everyone wanted to rush into the tribulation valley to closely observe the other party undergoing the heavenly tribulation, an invisible force blocked everyone back.

Seeing that she was prepared, Di He no longer hesitated. Although the words he was about to speak might be cruel to her, they were still much better than letting her get hurt.

Because of last night's events, Daisy had no appetite for food and went to the hospital with Lu Yan.

"Old Huang, let's go to 'Qingyu Hall' first." Pang Suqiu planned to visit Yu Jingnian's "Qingyu Hall" first to verify the truth of the news before planning her next steps.

Just as imagined, this fellow actually caught the milk, and the entire movement was quite handsome and agile.

After gaining a certain understanding of the Russian Empire's military strength, Old Jiu's mood turned extremely heavy. Quietly leaving the territory of the Russian Empire, Old Jiu intended to personally make a trip to the M Empire as well, to investigate its specific military strength clearly.

Although she still believed his words, she simply could not trust his face, always feeling that Qi Zhen's expression lacked sincerity.
