Chapter 44

Hearing Zhang Ruifan's suggestion, Qi Lanye, whose face was initially cold, suddenly broke into a smile. "Bring it on!" The response was brief and clear.

It sounded like a sound emitted from a testing instrument; then the image on the screen vanished, and two lines of data leaped up.

Jinyu: I wanted to take a clear picture, but unfortunately my hands are too short. I wonder whose hands stretched out farther than mine, sweeping the lakeside flowers completely clean. I had no choice but to take some distant shots and bring them back to make do.

This dagger appeared crude in workmanship, but its shape differed somewhat from ordinary daggers. The entire blade lacked any luster or ornamentation, yet the edge was exceptionally sharp. The hilt was somewhat narrow, yet fit the hand remarkably well upon gripping, evidently the result of careful design.

Therefore, how to better enhance one's physical strength has been an unchanging topic for humanity for thousands of years, as well as the most difficult subject to conquer.

"Forget it, never mind all this. It might just be some customary festival; finding Master Gu is what matters most," Xu Qian urged.

The golden duo of Lan Feng and Yin Enhao took the lead and charged straight into the defensive formation of Yiyang Middle School. This startled Ling Baichuan and Tong Fang, who were guarding them, prompting them to rush forward to meet the charge. Meanwhile, on the other flank, Yang Yangyang grew alert, preparing to provide backup defense against the highly threatening Lan Feng at any moment.

Jinyu: That is hard to say. The mortal world is full of temptations; a moment of carelessness and you wet your feet. It is better to be on guard. Besides, you people gluing your eyes to your phones all day long is precisely a manifestation of a lack of self-awareness. Those who do not strive to improve will suffer a heavy loss sooner or later.

Old Fu followed suit, first dispatching two skilled operatives. Who could have expected that through a twist of fate, the mission would fail. Old Fu had investigated Liu Feiyang, but given his level, he could not unearth much more, knowing only that he was the owner of two companies and his assets were completely insignificant in Victoria Harbour. Teaching him a lesson was just teaching him a lesson.

In reality, Lorin was merely pondering the specific data and practical applications of "magic acrobatics," rather than using such a "handicapping" action to achieve the purpose of showing contempt for his opponent.

Although he strongly disapproved of these people's wasteful style, Xue Tian at least managed to discern the old man's intentions from this.

"Damn it! We absolutely cannot let them break the record for the highest single-quarter score on our home court! For the remaining time, I'd rather let their other players score, but at this moment we must lock him down completely!" The Pacers' home court commentator was somewhat panicked. Were they about to have their home court turned upside down?

After expressing a faceless sneer toward Berg, Armand flicked the ash from his cigarette while puffing away, adopting an arrogant and bossy posture.

Practitioners of the Dao often speak of taking things step-by-step. That is because, for the majority of cultivators, cultivation is a grinding effort that requires day-by-day and year-by-year accumulation, making it difficult to attain fortuitous encounters overnight.

Li Siwei stood on no ceremony with him, snatched the cigarette in one go, and stuffed it into his pocket. Then, he pulled out that cigarette, lit it, and took a fierce drag. The pungent, hot vapor entered his body, instantly reviving his spirit.

Casting one's gaze further away to three miles distant, under the setting sun, a massive military formation of forty to fifty thousand men lay prostrate there.

"But..." Ayla simply could not let it go. She looked up at me, her bright red eyes clear and shining. I had never looked into her eyes so closely before, and for a moment, my heart felt like it was pounding wildly.

He had thought that luring Wan Qian into the gaming industry would make things much easier in the future, but he hadn't expected that Wan Qian still intended to take on acting roles.

Within the court of Joseon, the Chief State Councillor was a senior first-rank official, also known as the Chief Minister, holding a position of great power and influence akin to a prime minister in the dynasties of the Central Plains.

Haurchefant wore a look of satisfied contentment, his eyes half-closed, nodding repeatedly while tapping the beat for them with both hands.

He clenched his fist, feeling that he should now have reached the peak limit of Tier 7, coming infinitely close to the threshold of Tier 8.

However, for Huo Yuhao, it was not quite the same. Due to his background as an orphan, he did not know much about this曼陀罗蛇 (Mandala Snake).

Zhou Yi looked at Lü Heze at this moment and smiled. Even she hadn't expected Lü Heze to say such a thing.

"Alright, I know you're old, and you don't always need to show off. I happen to be a master tomb robber of my generation," Zinian wrinkled his nose.

Because if anyone had some bad luck and happened to appear directly inside a volcano, they would kick the bucket on the spot.

A bitter thought arose in his heart, and the wine bowl in his hand shattered into pieces with a crash, falling onto the tabletop.

He Shi froze for a moment. Chen Zhishan had the capital to do so, but the others did not. For the sake of web traffic, perhaps they were capable of doing anything.

"Yes, President Liu, it is my fault. I will make adjustments immediately." Wang Kequan probably enjoyed good treatment at the hospital; despite being chewed out fiercely by Liu Jundong, he did not dare to resist.

Yet now, Director Chen Hong and He Shi barely exchanged any words, merely greeting each other with a nod upon meeting.

Through certain underground channels, they acquired portraits of these prodigies at high prices. Once these individuals entered their field of vision, they would rack their brains to build rapport through various means.

"Impossible. According to Boss He, that Wu Shizhi is an entrepreneur just like him. If he were to die, it would definitely cause a sensation throughout society. But now that everything is so calm and peaceful, it's obvious that Wu Shizhi must be safe and sound," Ye Tianyi shook his head and said.

"Sit down, Nanny Gao. This is the silk that Noble Consort De just sent over. I was just thinking of sewing a pair of casual boots for my younger brother. What do you think of that amber-colored brocade?" He Zilan asked perfunctorily, a trace of helpless frustration welling up toward the old nanny.

Just as he was preparing to go visit Zhang Qiwei, he was summoned by the Chief. Perhaps this was a kind of coincidence, yet he would not shirk his responsibility. After all, all of this was what he deserved; what qualification did he have to shift the blame onto others?

Yet Qionglzi never imagined that she had come with trepidation, only to end the journey in sheer joy. With things between her and Lu Yan having reached this stage, she would have no regrets even if she returned now.

Originally, Di He was not supposed to emerge from seclusion until a few days later, but because the matter Wei Yuanzi told him was somewhat urgent, he forcibly broke his seclusion on this exact day, which happened to be the half-month mark.

Bullied by him often on ordinary days, now that she finally had a chance to turn the tables, how could Bo Yanhe possibly fail to tightly grasp this opportunity?

Lu Junyi hurriedly ordered the military officers to register them and assign them to the various chieftains' commands. Those unwilling to stay were all given traveling expenses and allowed to return to their hometowns.

The moment Zhu Wu's voice faded, Wang Qing had already spurred his thousand-li-a-day steed to catch up with Sun An, thrusting his spear straight toward the horse Sun An was riding.
