Chapter 98: Shielding Her from Calamity?

Xu Yun Zhuo stood there stunned for a full minute before tossing the cigarette butt into the puddle outside the car window, his expression tinged with urgency. “Will this car even start? I need to go to Harbor City.”

“What???”

Assistant Gao was utterly dumbfounded.

No, their boss’s mood was so unpredictable—he had changed his mind three times just in the past two days.

One moment he insisted on going, then was persuaded to change plans, only to reverse again today and insist on going. His original schedule remained unchanged, and now this new trip...

“Speaking of a box of jewels, it reminds me of something!” Cao Xiaohui suddenly said with a smile.

“Qiu Ye, you... could it be that you’ve long been...” Though young, it wasn’t hard to guess the implication. Could it be that Qiu Ye had already sworn allegiance to Liu Zhang?

“All right, I’ll take you there.” Such a stubborn one surely deserved a scolding from Ma Yunlu; if I couldn’t bring myself to do it, someone else surely could.

I am already a man on the brink of death; being able to grant the wishes of those who care for me is a great comfort.

The disciples were overjoyed, but the senior brother’s expression grew grave. He didn’t show pain, which was already commendable—each death among them would cost one million yuan! At the time, no one knew the old professor had arranged for someone to infiltrate.

Before, there was no choice but to take things step by step. Now, since we have certain connections and conditions, if we don’t make use of them, all the hard work over the years would be wasted.

“Has everyone received it? Then there’s no need to doubt—others should have received it too,” said Teacher Jin.

Thus, overnight, midfielders like Pirlo and Modrić, who played deeper positions, became masterful organizers skilled in passing.

When Su Ming arrived, all the doctors present breathed a sigh of relief, looking at him as if he were a savior, their eyes filled with admiration.

He felt as if he were dead. After all, soon after reaching the summit, he suddenly fell unconscious. Undoubtedly, Shi Qing had succeeded in reaching the peak, and Jiang Luo was eliminated as a result.

Except for Zhao Yu, everyone here had experienced at least five nightmares, some quite difficult, and they often exchanged thoughts with other nightmare apostles.

What surprised Zhu Yijun most was that those able to accept the emperor with an open heart were mostly young people—impoverished souls and frustrated scholars.

“No! The Zhou family has gone too far, hiding such a huge matter while discussing marriage. Isn’t that just deception?”

At the thought of the envious gazes from other educated youth in the courtyard, Gu Zhengxu’s heart swelled with pride.

Shi Chenze remained silent for a long time, recalling every reaction from Xu Yuan—from the initial quarrels to the eventual silence. Now, the reason revealed itself.

Don’t be deceived by that short, stout, clumsy-looking man; he was surprisingly agile. He crouched low, slippery as an eel, dodging Hu Tou’s determined slash. With a flick of his wrist, his short sword left its sheath. At the instant their bodies crossed paths, the blade angled sharply, stabbing suddenly toward Hu Tou’s left shoulder blade.

“I am Feng Yuetong. Though you tortured me to the brink of death, I have been reborn... and, in fact, I should thank you!” Feng Yuetong’s words sent a chill down Su Fuliu’s spine.

Li Lei was the squad leader of the second battalion. Logically, even if he wanted to request an operation, he should apply through the second battalion commander.

Ji Xiang observed carefully, using these divine generals to probe, shaping divine forms from the spirit tablets, then constructing bodies with the primal energy of heaven and earth, finally commanding them into battle to test the depth of the waters in Yuanshan City.

Those alluring phoenix eyes no longer held the warmth and tenderness Chen Tian once saw; instead, they radiated a coldness that kept all at bay.

“Zheng Xiaochun!” The squad leader beside him shouted sharply, pulling Zheng Xiaochun back from his sorrowful reverie.
