Volume 1, Chapter 39: Not a Corruption Case

With the current position of the Incense Envoy, Manager Wang is determined to install his own people, and he is even less likely to allow someone who does not obey him to occupy the seat of Chief Incense Envoy.

That night, the generals also struggled to find rest, for by following Zhu Qizhen to the capital, they had already wagered their futures and even their very lives.

He had promised Lin Ziwei that he would drop by her place after work, so he would likely be eating dinner there, wouldn't he?

Liang Tianran grew increasingly curious. "Father, why such a rush? Can’t we wait until my older brothers return from the prefectural city?" Even if they couldn't wait for the official posting of the results, the difference before and after the exam was only about half a month.

The hidden sentries were incredibly cunning, acting much like the Japanese in the Second World War. They had concealed themselves within the dense branches; had it not been for the rich experience of Black Bear and Big Ox, they might have already entered the enemy’s firing range.

"This..." Seeing Bayan Temür pleading so earnestly, Esen could not help but hesitate. Although he was reluctant to relinquish the title of Grand Preceptor, his own actions seemed to lack the magnanimity expected of a ruler.

The opening of Xuanwu Lake was set for the Double Ninth Festival on the ninth day of the ninth month. During the Ming Dynasty, this day was marked by outings, sightseeing, climbing heights for a view, admiring chrysanthemums, wearing dogwood, eating Double Ninth cakes, and drinking chrysanthemum wine. With Bai Minghe’s five-day opening gala, people from all over the southern provinces flocked to the site upon hearing the news.

"For this servant to discuss poetry with Your Majesty is satisfaction enough! I can swear on my life that I would never dare to harbor any wild ambitions beyond that!" Linghua spoke with a string of pearls falling from her lips, her voice filled with sorrow.

Gathered together were several dozen members of a winged flight race, similar in appearance. Having seemingly grasped the patterns of the Killing Firmament, they began to cast their spells from a distance of over a thousand meters.

Poison Nova: A spherical explosion of toxic energy occurs around the user, impacting enemies for 1836 poison damage.

This crystal archway was entirely scarlet. Its frame shimmered with countless starlight points, each representing a different world and serving as the source of the archway's power. A translucent scarlet veil of water hung over the arch, through which one could travel to any world of a known frequency.

Wei Dongming was even less aware of the intricacies involved; he didn't realize he had landed a massive bargain. It was not easy to encounter such things. If the loan sharks hadn't first tried to scam someone, Li Weijun wouldn't have had anyone to retaliate against. He could have targeted real estate developers, and they would have given him a good deal, but could he really do that?

"Miss, are you the owner of this shop?" Lin Yuxiu was just about to step inside after seeing all the vegetables moved in, when someone suddenly called out to her.

This guy was truly not a "guy" in the conventional sense. Although he had been a bit arrogant, he had truly not expected such a sudden and violent offensive from this fellow.

Therefore, although Ji Kong currently possessed a good temperament, who could guarantee that he wouldn't eventually turn into a perverted, sadistic master?

In a sense, the main content of Buddhist doctrine can be divided into two major aspects, which this year he understood slightly: one concerns the theories of karma and cultivation—the practical, religious, and moral aspects of Buddhist teaching.

It was like Jing Ke singing his farewell song by the Yi River, Cao Cao softly chanting, "The hero in his twilight years still harbors high aspirations," or Yue Fei leading the Han sons to charge the iron cavalry of the Jin.

"Yes!" the elders replied in haste, their hearts trembling. Having seen Diablo display his divine might last time—utterly crushing the three pillars of the otherworld who had reached level 100 or higher after their demonic transformation—they held him in even greater awe.

Of course, it wasn't as if he hadn't contributed anything; after all, the Hong Kong government couldn't award him a medal without merit. But the incident involving the capture of Han Biao would, for anyone else, have resulted in nothing more than a certificate of merit from the police station.

Jiang Xinyu tapped her slender fingers rhythmically on the table, her teeth subconsciously biting her lower lip, which was a beautiful, vibrant red. Her mind raced with a thousand thoughts; she had to consider these matters carefully to avoid capsizing in the gutter.

"Brother, it is getting late. We should head back," Xiao Xiwei said, turning to interrupt Lin Yushi.

"Fine, Jing Chu, you just remember this!" Li Lairen did not have time to verify the name, but he etched it into his memory. Once he finished speaking, he immediately took flight, determined to escape as far as possible. He might even leave the Flame Dragon Empire, having offended the Heavenly Martial Star Emperor.

Hearing He Yuhan's words, Han Yixian excitedly pulled her into his arms. To hear such words from her made everything he had done worthwhile.

However, knowing that the police were on the scene, Fang Jing’s police radio on her chest was still active. Jiang Shaowu suppressed his anger, barely managing not to explode.

"Fine, I agree. How do you intend to prove you are right, or rather, what is your reason for saying it didn't freeze?" Ning Fuchen asked.

"At that time, we were naturally carefree, and Father, Mother, they..." As the Prime Minister's wife thought, her inner monologue slipped out. Once the words were spoken, she immediately realized what she had said.

It wasn't that he didn't want to sell it; the system had set the price that way. If he were to sell by weight, Chen Feng would have to bring out pot after pot. At that rate, he didn't know how many times he would have to swipe his card to produce a single catty of tea.

He had spoken unintentionally, but it left Mingyue startled, and she exchanged a glance with Cai Ze.

Seeing Xiao Xiwei's gloomy expression, Manager Wang dared not say anything else; he bowed to her and retreated.

Indeed, in a major disaster, the entire city would cease to function, and those frontline officials and medical personnel were the silent contributors who sacrificed everything for the city.

I had been to the Qingxi Hotel several times before, so I walked directly toward the general manager's office.

"Oh, the landlady is looking more radiant than ever." The man in the suit who had been shouting just moments ago reached out as he spoke, aiming for Su Duo’s backside.

Li Jie and I walked into the old house, feeling a sense of nostalgia as we saw the familiar furniture. Li Jie looked around the layout, wanting to tidy up. After I carried Hanxue inside, she began to cry and fuss...

Ah Long interjected, "Ah Feng has money, but I don't. Mina bought the villa, not me."

If they had truly run into a world with the background of a game, they would naturally have to plan carefully.

Song Yingluo was actually filled with thoughts of "None of your business," but her decade of education kept her decorum in check, preventing her from being impudent.
