Chapter 23: The Only Tie Between Us Is a Contract

Xu Yunzhu gazed at him wordlessly.

Lowering her voice, she said, “Even if you change, there will be a time to change back. If you keep living the way you did before, it won’t work.”

Pei Qiaonian’s brows were shadowed with pressure as he looked up at her. “Are you concerned about me?”

Xu Yunzhu: “……”

Not really.

She’d spoken instinctively; as someone who cherished life and stayed optimistic, she was simply spreading positive energy.

Between yes and no—

At present, she couldn’t muster the slightest respect for Shui Miao Miao. Her heart was full of loyalty, yet Jing Qiao’er disparaged what Yue Shan desperately wanted to protect.

“Dalang has returned as well. Did you actually enlist these past years?” Li Guangyi asked during the servants’ work.

However, his decision came a moment too late. As Cheng Hai volleyed the ball, his foot only just arrived.

The family was already few in number. If they continued to slaughter one another, the resulting internal friction would further diminish them. How would the bloodline survive then?

Demonic Long-Arm Ape Emperor: An ordinary animal evolved by the influence of the Aura Spring, a higher form of ape, powerful in magical attack and defense, but its weakness is its slightly inferior resistance to close combat.

Lin Muxi’s ethereal eyes flickered with displeasure, but the next moment she regained her composure.

“Brother.” Shui Miao Miao slowed her speech, feeling odd—everyone in the room was watching her, addressing an unconscious man as brother, each with a different tone and expression.

With Dortmund’s substitution, Benfica immediately made changes as well, taking off a forward and a winger, putting on a central defender and a defensive midfielder, instantly strengthening their defense.

At this moment, seeing that the whole world had learned of the incident in Longfei City, the locals had nothing left to hide. The forums filled with accounts of what had happened.

Once arrogant pirates now dutifully carried out patrols for Luo Songxi near the trapped area in Herpus.

“Speaking of the Northwestern Marquis’s residence, I feel as if I’ve heard its name somewhere,” Zhou Yunxi suddenly frowned and muttered softly. Of course, even while pondering, she didn’t forget to follow Lin Qing’s steps.

Since Bai Hua had come for Mu Cheng, Mu Cheng naturally gained Zhou Yunxi’s ‘authorization,’ learning about the outside world through her eyes and ears.

Zhou Yunxi understood the medical technology of this era somewhat. If Xu Nuo’s injuries were truly that severe, survival would be unlikely. Moreover, blood still seeped faintly from his back; some wounds hadn’t even crusted over.

These ten million transaction points made Huiyuan Cheng wince, yet he had no other choice.

At this time, Qin Fengyi felt much more at ease about the Marquis’s condition. He turned to ask about the medicinal herbs Zhou Yunxi had brought. No matter what, the fact that Zhou Yunxi could present herbs of sufficient age astonished him.

They went on teasing Cuizi, making her blush with embarrassment once again.

As for Teacher He, being the host, he rarely broke into laughter, but clearly, thanks to Zhou Xue, he was struggling to suppress a smile.

Meanwhile, Xiling Rong kept her face dark, watching Zhou Yunxi and Qin Fengyi without speaking. Or perhaps, she simply had no chance to interject.

She waited at the door for a long time, until the housekeeper arrived and informed her there was no one inside. Only then did she leave for the base.

If it were other videos, she could claim an editing error, but everyone knew Boss Qin’s videos never contained mistakes. There had never been a single error in all those videos.
