Chapter 159: The Down-and-Out Gu Tinghua

Li Qingyun hired a village ox cart, filling it to the brim with goods to send at the commune post office. The grand spectacle made the villagers aware that she was about to join the army, sparking all kinds of gossip. Yet none of it reached her ears.

At the commune, she ran into Chen Li again, who had been tailing her earlier. He was just leaving the supply and marketing cooperative with a young woman when they happened to cross paths. The moment Chen Li saw Li Qingyun, he felt utterly uneasy, as if cursed. Hastily, he took his companion and veered off in another direction.

Since the incident with Tian Mei, this was his only way to make amends for past misdeeds—it was far more than just a house. Furthermore, upon learning of Crown Prince Li Tai’s actions, King Wei Li’s previous gloom lifted completely, and he was almost rolling on the ground with joy.

Three days later, the Western Turkic and Arab forces, totaling 220,000 troops, launched a joint night attack against the Tang army.

Li Youcai realized he had let something slip. He despised himself for losing composure in front of a young man who was no thug like Sun Liang.

Though she had broken through the first level of the Lingwu realm, the spiritual energy swirling in Xin Yuan’s dantian continued to churn, relentlessly striking her meridians.

In the pitch-black room, the dragon-scale dagger rang out sharply, its strike aimed unerringly at Chu Yang’s throat.

“We aren’t looking for you, so why call you? Help us summon Xue with a bit of blood, tell him we’re waiting in Battle Zone B,” Rose whispered to Huang Lian.

The photo of Hao Xuexi showed him with a wry smile, his face etched with pain, looking utterly forced.

The atmosphere was tense and awkward. Chu Yang, holding needle and thread to close a wound, seemed unsure how to proceed. Beside him, Zhao Ya bit her lip, assisting quietly.

Liu Renshun’s corpse lay crushed beneath the melon trellis, marking the end of his once formidable life.

“No need. Listen to me—let me inform my father about your visit tomorrow so he can prepare himself. Otherwise, I’m afraid he won’t be able to restrain himself,” Su Yuanyuan’s tone grew more intense without realizing it.

Though it was said walkie-talkies had limited range, the actual effective communication distance far exceeded expectations.

At this moment, many business magnates had gathered, mostly inferior to the Su family and merely waiting to witness their downfall.

When a piece of porcelain sells for billions, one wonders if it’s art gone mad or the buyers who are insane.

Across from the hotel were numerous bustling street food stalls, teeming with customers.

Once inside the Wolf Clan, how could anyone return unscathed? The girl must be comforting Xingyao.

The man with the horse-face, seeing Yu Qing’s cultivation was only at the Human Immortal level, held him in contempt. Charging forward with sword in hand, Yu Qing met him with spear raised, and soon they clashed fiercely, their exchange lively and intense.

He had deliberately come out to avoid the hustle and bustle, hoping to win a little and make up for the losses in his vegetable plot.

Everyone looked to Ao Qing, who shook her head, uncertain of West Qi’s true intentions.

A harsh screech of brakes rang out as Su Zhenwei looked toward Shen Hao in confusion, only to see several figures entangled outside the car window.

Da Hua simply sat down and pulled some rations from Zhong Qing’s spatial pouch, chewing thoughtfully.

Even if someone noticed something amiss, as long as it lay still on the ground without moving, no one would suspect a thing! A shed snake skin—could it move or pose a threat?

When Zhao Shenping saw him, he was training in hand-to-hand combat with a soldier, honing his reflexes.

Su Jie’s words were casual and light, though she found it astonishing that the Dingguo Duke’s mansion would casually grant a storefront to someone else, regardless of the rent. At this moment, Liu Bo was precisely in such a state.

Long Juan’s expression darkened; this fellow showed no reaction to her questioning, which greatly displeased her.
