Volume 1, Chapter 63: Finding a Good Man

Xiaomei's legs went soft as she collapsed onto the floor, clutching the hem of Shen Qi'er's trousers. "Miss Shen, please save me...!"
Shen Qi'er gripped her handkerchief tightly, not daring to meet her eyes.
A maid stepped forward, grabbed Xiaomei by the hair, and yanked her aside.
"Bring me my tools," Mother Zhang instructed the maid.
Two maids acknowledged the order and quickly approached carrying a tray.
"Slap!" Hu Ke delivered a heavy blow directly across Nala's pretty face, sending her crashing to the ground.
"I'm feeling much better, you don't need to worry." Song Xi'er looked into Shi Jingchen's concentrated gaze, and a sudden, unbidden warmth bloomed in her heart.
Outside the door, the cold wind whipped up snowflakes. In the eyes of lovers, however, they were drifting willow catkins, a sign that spring had arrived and flowers were in bloom.
She was aware of the existence of the Four Sages. After consulting his master, the Shi Sage had not kept it from her.
Whether it was Yan Xi's insults that took effect, Xiao Zhihan slowly came to a halt, clutching his head in agony. His lips parted and closed as if he were still muttering something.
Fortunately, he was currently on leave, so it did not matter that Han Tianyu woke up late. After washing up, he prepared to head to the officer's mess hall to eat. Since it was already around eleven o'clock, Han Tianyu decided to combine breakfast and lunch into one meal.
He did not utter a single word, because the meaning he wished to convey had already been expressed through his gaze and expression. Right now, he was furious, especially under such circumstances.
A magnetic voice reached Anjing's ears at close range, and that heart-palpitating sensation filled her with a profound sense of happiness.
As she spoke, her gaze remained fixed on Zhou Lili, her intention unmistakable—she was targeting Zhou Lili.
The middle-aged man's expression was exceptionally stern, or rather, furious—furious to a terrifying degree. Everyone present below wondered how he could sit there so calmly, watching his one-armed son, and somehow manage to restrain himself from erupting.
Last time, when Ruolan took six people to the Kaifeng Prefecture, she wasn't included. As the eldest sister and supervisor, she inevitably had to make many sacrifices.
"Consider yourself ruthless, but let me tell you, Prince Umu will not let you off," the boss said fiercely.
"Have you ever heard of 'A man should strive for self-improvement'? Have you ever heard of 'Never give up your ideals'? You have the high school entrance exams coming up in a few days, right? Once they're over, come work as a waiter at my hotel. Throughout both high school and university, you can work and study at the same time. How about it? Are you afraid of hardship and fatigue? If you are, then don't bother!" Jin Faguang said with a look of utter contempt.
A flash of blue ran across the edge of the sea of flowers. Her snow-white skin was crystal clear, her blue eyes resembled deep oceans, and her pink lips were as vibrant and enticing as rose petals.
The two arrived at a spacious plaza, where three thousand disciples of the Purple Firmament Sect were waiting quietly. The personal disciples, inner courtyard disciples, and outer courtyard disciples were divided into three distinct groups, maintaining a clear separation. With Liu Buhuan and Luo Qiushen personally presiding over the scene, no one dared to cause trouble.
"This is his location. Go find him," Yezhang said after sensing the man's aura, directing Xuanming and the others to press their advantage.
"Observe the developments quietly. Tell the brothers to eat, drink, play, and make merry as they please, but seize every moment to train and elevate our combat effectiveness!" Jin Faguang said.
"Imperial physician? Hahaha, you're having an imperial physician examine me? What, am I supposed to be the emperor now?" Jin Faguang couldn't help laughing at the mention of an imperial physician.
"Dongfang, you really are fortunate! Even though you hurt Luo Ning so deeply, she is still afraid that I might target you," Luzhi said with a wry smile. He knew he had completely failed in his goal to strike a blow at Dongfang Ming; instead, he had only managed to provoke even greater hatred from him.
Yunniang raised her face, feeling the temperature on her skin yet not sensing any heat. She looked at Yun Yang with a puzzled expression.
"Li An is right, you must be careful. Huang Heng, please take good care of Candao!" A-Zhen said to Huang Heng.
