Volume One, Chapter 56: Dining Together

How could Brother Li do such a thing? To be honest with you, I have already told Miss Ningshuang that those verses were written by you. Upon hearing this, she insists on meeting you. Tomorrow, I will merely be a supporting presence. I only came here today to inform you of this matter. Let us meet tomorrow without fail. Farewell!

Having said that, Chu Yun departed the Li estate, as if afraid that Li Xian would refuse.

Li Xian opened his mouth, but facing the empty space before him, he could only offer a helpless, bitter smile.

In the end, he returned to the schoolroom and continued telling stories to the two children.

A dozen days later would be the preliminary examination. Since this was the first imperial examination of its kind, he had no idea what the test contents would be. Still, Li Xian was not overly anxious; he would simply take things as they came and deal with whatever challenges arose.

Sun Yifan continued to listen without interrupting, quietly waiting for Zhang Wuyi to finish everything he had to say.

Young Master. You have finally returned. Over all these years, how has the Young Master been? the man asked with an emotional expression.

Combining these two pieces of news, why did it feel so much like he was simply too excited by what he had said to her?

Xiaoluo grinned broadly and strode directly inside. Long Qianhuang's heart leaped into his throat. This time, he was truly convinced. If he had been in the same situation and seen Brother Jun swing a blade toward him, he would surely have dodged or counterattacked.

Among the five young men currently in the team, the most innocent ones were Sun Yifan's cousin, Chen Cheng, and Yang Rui.

Of course she was not worried about her father's attitude; what she feared most was that Dr. Zhao would take a dislike to her father, especially after staging such an absurd farce of catching adulterers tonight.

I panted heavily, not even daring to turn the phone over with too much force, terrified of draining the remaining four percent of battery that was as precious to me as life itself.

Seeing that Sun Yifan had already spoken, the boss dropped the matter regarding his son and continued packing the items for Sun Yifan.

For a moment, I failed to understand what he meant by those words. Then I saw him nod, and immediately someone bound my hands and feet, stuffed my mouth, hoisted me onto their shoulders, carried me up to the second floor, and threw me onto a large bed in a private room.

Before he had time to dwell on it, a fully dressed Luo Manyi rushed out of the room wielding an electric baton.

A twenty-eight-foot box truck pulled up right behind and came to a halt. Several burly men pulled open the rear doors of the truck and called out for everyone to start grabbing suitable weapons from inside.

"All right, brother, come have some breakfast," Youzi said at this moment, bringing over a few portions of breakfast.

Ye Li felt somewhat embarrassed. She had no idea how she had ended up resting her head on Liu Tianqing's lap while falling asleep. Lacking the courage to reach out and touch his trousers to check whether she had actually drooled, she hurriedly opened the car door, got out, sprinted all the way home, and slammed her bedroom door shut.

However, this matter drew fierce reprimands from Grand Tutor Shangguan--Shangguan Hong. During the morning court session, right before the current emperor, the Grand Tutor sternly rebuked the upright officials of the court, leaving them utterly defeated in debate without a shred of dignity remaining.

"I spent over five hundred years in Hueco Mundo, so of course I know about this," Asido stated.

He still needed to find the other nine Primordial Strengths. Perhaps doing so would unlock the secret of the Void Pagoda, but finding these nine strengths was easier said than done.

"Grandfather, what is it you wish to say?" Mo Shaodong restrained his smile, sitting upright on the sofa as he looked at his grandfather.

So far, the research on spirit manipulation was more than half complete. Once the crucial steps were figured out, they could essentially skip the rest and proceed directly to creating demons.

The Fengyi Sect possessed countless masters, and a hundred of me would not make a difference. Naturally, many righteous people wanted to uproot them entirely, but their roots ran unfathomably deep.

Seeing that everything that needed to be said had been said, and there was no rush for the rest, Tiger turned around and prepared to leave.

Before Yang冲 could continue his train of thought, that blinding headache returned, forcing him to temporarily suppress these superfluous thoughts.

Su Yi quietly watched as the crowd continued to place bid after bid, until the price of the Earth Demon Crystal reached ten thousand spirit stones, at which point many chose to give up.

Another person nearby woke up and joined the fray, leaving the pitiful Ma Dahai chopped in half and denied peace even in death.

Unfortunately, the mountains were overly tainted by worldly vulgarity, filled everywhere with newly built temples, inns, and restaurants. This not only suppressed the spiritual energy of the mountain but also destroyed countless trees, polluting what once was a celestial paradise into a mere vacation resort, completely devoid of any sense of tranquility.

Ke'er, running at the very front of the team, did not hesitate for a second. She lightly stepped on a protruding rock, leaped forcefully, glided a dozen yards, and landed on the other side of the street. Meanwhile, Peaceful Snow and Xiao Fen easily scrambled over the pile of rubble, reaching the opposite side of the blocked roadway.

A promise is worth a thousand gold! Yet Wang Jialuo's pledge was something far beyond what a thousand pieces of gold could ever buy.

Although the south remained quiet, the rest of the continent continuously birthed new developments.

The missile detonated. Even thousands of meters away, the shockwave originating from thousands of meters beneath the water could be felt. The ocean roared, and the joint naval fleet tossed and turned in the Atlantic.

Mo Qingcheng's eyes were filled with astonishment, though she quickly recovered her composure. Meanwhile, Ye Mei'er's alluring eyes lingered on Su Yi for a long time; as if thinking of something, a flash of slyness crossed her gaze.

Suddenly, not far ahead of them, a violent burst of explosive energy erupted. Looking over, they saw people engaged in combat halfway up the mountain of tombs.

While feeling puzzled, Duan Ruoxue gestured for me to keep quiet, presumably fearing that we might awaken the two giant pythons.

Even now, his strikes remained remarkably measured. Each arrow he loosed was executed with precise force, capable of slaying formidable enemies without causing the earth to collapse.

"Old Man Pushing the Cart!" Not stopping there, he transformed his fists into palms and continued his pursuit of the Thunder-Winged Tiger.

With that, Renault twisted the ignition key, started the car, drove out of the hospital, and spoke while navigating the road.

Finally escaping that place brimming with evil spiritual energy, Feng Xiyue felt a sense of rebirth. Had it not been for the relay assistance of her companions just now, completing such a difficult mission would truly have been nearly impossible.

As they marched along, Qin keenly sensed something amiss: Hong Lei and Ling Chen, the owners of the God-Slaying Blade, wore dissatisfied expressions. Jing Meiwan still maintained her bewitching aura, but like Hong Lei and Ling Chen, she showed utter disregard for military discipline.

"The hanging ladder beneath your feet is the Soul-Suspending Ladder, specially designed to imprison and torture tomb raiders." Palace Yunfeng's foot-long white beard trembled slightly, and with just a gentle stride, he climbed dozens of steps.
