“Any news?”
“I just saw Gu Tingwu sneaking off toward the drying yard. He was acting all furtive—definitely up to something.”
“There’s nothing at the drying yard but haystacks to hide behind. Those two must be planning a secret rendezvous in the hay.”

Perugia fans began to express their dissatisfaction with the home team’s performance—anyone could see that Perugia was on the receiving end of a beating now.
Hearing this, Encheng felt as if thunderstruck. His face turned deathly pale, and the light in his eyes faded, growing dull and lifeless.

The movement tugged at her wounds again, forcing a sharp breath through her teeth. Seeing that Qin Tian was nowhere in sight, her heart grew all the more anxious.
Of the three, only Zhou Yunfeng knew little about the Seven-Star Dao Fruit. On the way here, Lei Yi and Qing Qianyou had given him a crash course, and the Yao Guang Dao Fruit was a crucial component.
