Chapter 54: True Nature
Left standing in place was a dazed Tong Ying, who remained frozen on the spot for a long time, unable to snap back to reality.
Him? Facing Master Xuanshuai's reputation, Wang Lin actually refused to go and just flicked his sleeve and left? Could this still be Wang Lin?
Tong Ying was now somewhat confused and bewildered, but the next moment, a surge of anger filled her chest.
Very well, very well! So full of backbone, let's see if he can remain so full of backbone in front of Master!
...
A dark shadow flew over! Just as it was about to flare up, upon seeing so many people, it collapsed limply onto the ground.
The reactions of the Ye family members, along with the division of Ye Lansheng's assets, indicated that he had been completely unprepared, and thus the shares fell into Xue Wei's hands.
None of these were major issues, but piled up one after another, An Shu rattled them off for a long time without repeating a single one, making even An Cheng's scalp tingle.
As for what Teacher Guo had just said about hateful classmates or the like, he was so immersed in his research that he didn't hear a single word.
Right at the end, Chen Jiu's master, Feng Qingyang, leisurely handed him an anti-diarrhea antidote. Only after taking the antidote did Chen Jiu's diarrhea gradually subside.
After being enhanced for such a long period, Ren Hai's physique was already far beyond what an ordinary person could compare to, but it was still merely better than an ordinary person. As far as Ren Hai's current understanding went, the Favored were also human beings, just possessing favored abilities.
The manager was a man in his forties, wearing a shirt and tie, with a demeanor that made it clear to anyone at a glance that he was a big boss.
The tension grew increasingly heavy until it was on the verge of breaking. Xu Wen and Ji Huaqiang started a fight, and eventually, the security guards noticed something was wrong and called the patrol officers.
With a flash of the blade's light, the blood dripping from Ye Chen vanished, and immediately, a stream of information appeared in Ye Chen's mind.
Qingruo still looked silly and hadn't gotten into character, having no idea how Ji Hua intended to teach her, so she just stared blankly at Ji Hua.
Meanwhile, Long Bing was thinking about other matters; earlier, he had been probing, testing the identities of these people.
Li Chunfeng had stayed here longer, and therefore, he was quite familiar with the environment.
Landing on the ground, the grey wolf shook its shoulders and ran at full stride toward Xiong Qi's position. As for Xiong Qi, he stood quietly in place, waiting for the grey wolf to arrive.
In the eyes of others, the reason Ye Qingcheng appeared exceptionally happy upon receiving the money was this: did it mean that if their Myriad Treasures Firm had enough money, they could also bribe her to work for them?
To take a step back, even if the Noble Consort was not speaking the truth, she was merely going to see the Retired Emperor, and there would be no loss for her. A bedridden old man like the Retired Emperor wouldn't do anything to her anyway.
He had no choice; heaven destroys those who do not look out for themselves. Would Suoran really risk her life for someone she had just met by chance? Telling him to stop you was naturally a matter of unshakable duty.
What played on the screen was precisely the previous scene of the Amer Empire's fleet arrayed against those Zerg. Looking at the two formations deployed across the void, looking at the various energy beams filling the battlefield area, and looking at the human warships repeatedly destroyed by those terrifying bugs, everyone was shocked.
After a while, the boss served a few good dishes and brought a bottle of Jinliufu for him. Zhao San hurriedly invited the boss to sit and eat together. The boss didn't stand on ceremony either, took two wine glasses, and filled them up.
Sure enough, the Japanese soldiers in one of the houses heard their shouts, so they first blew out the lit lamp and then thrust the muzzle of a gun out from the windowsill. Lei Zhongliang hurriedly instructed three soldiers to lie flat outside the wall to monitor them, but without making a sound. Hearing no movement, the Japanese soldiers in the room indeed stayed put inside.
"Go!" The twelve flying swords did not directly attack Shen Dongyue; instead, they continuously circled around him, constantly waiting for an opportunity.
In just a short while, Li Qing absorbed more than two hundred million points of merit, which gave a glimpse of just how much was stored within the Merit Pool.
At the thought that Yin Xue was leaving her to handle duties in the main hall—though they would still reside in the same palace and occasionally catch a glimpse of each other, they would ultimately no longer be able to spend every day and night together—Jing Dan couldn't help but feel a deep sense of sadness, becoming increasingly nagging.
The fissure wasn't the main point. The point was that he actually saw a gigantic basalt tortoise on the other side of the fissure.
Returning meant having a barbecue after all, but it was the ancient kind—burning a bonfire, skewering some food, sprinkling some seasoning, and roasting it right over the fire. Lin Xi had never tried this before. Watching Ling Zhou skillfully roast a skewer of rabbit legs, she began to imitate his movements to roast her favorite corn.
"Let's go up; we cannot allow this Innate realm expert to continue running amok," said Zhuge Ming.
Though she had equipment that increased critical strike chance, critical hits still required a certain amount of luck to trigger and were rarely achieved.
A heart-rending scream echoed from the void belonging to the Donghuang Demon Physique; something went wrong with the solar power, and it was immediately overwhelmed by the lunar power.
Chen Dazhi remained noncommittal. Watching the figures of the few limping away in high spirits, he shook his head. The opportunity had been given to them; whether they were mules or horses, it was time to bring them out for a test.
Imperial Physician Zhang had already retrieved the ointment and handed it to Mama Hu with both hands. Mama Hu carefully applied the medicine for Yin Xue, blowing softly on the affected area from time to time, terrified of causing Yin Xue any pain.
The creaking sound of moving furniture finally ceased. Recalling their meeting this morning, her expression grew gloomy once again.
"What's wrong with my dad? Isn't his health quite good? How did he suddenly fall ill?" Zhou Qing asked.
"You've studied martial arts, right? Judging by your physical form and your walking posture, you must have studied martial arts for quite a few years," Cheng Xiaodong asked with curiosity.
After stabilizing her injuries, Nolan knelt before the statue of the Cute God in the temple and began to pray. During this time, Nolan had gathered all the materials needed for awakening, and most of these materials had been contributed by the Church of the God of Envy.
