26 Quiet

Changsun Hong wore a smile that appeared kind and approachable, yet to Ding Daquan, it sent a jolt of panic through his heart.

Mu Tian scouted the area thoroughly, and only after confirming that no one was around did he run to the back of the truck to open the door.

Ye Xuan listened to the conversation between the two grave-robbing gangs from the side. While he was touched by their mutual loyalty, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. To think that even tomb raiding could cultivate a sense of faith—truly, every trade has its masters.

As he descended, the pitch-black depths of the ravine left Ye Xuan uncertain of the situation. He could only steady himself against the bank and continue downward. The chaotic obscurity ahead filled him with a sense of dread; the darkness represented the unknown.

Just as Ye Xuan hesitated, Hong Rui had already pushed the door open brashly, letting a gust of wind sweep into the room.

Xin Pi could only comfort himself in silence, thinking that at least this would allow him to observe the attitude of the Jingzhou people toward the imperial court.

Just as he was muttering to himself, the door behind him creaked, and Wu Xiaodong stepped out. Standing side by side with Old Zheng, the two began to urinate at the base of the Tian-gen.

"Fatty Fire, when did you turn into a mouse, knowing only how to run?" Ignoring the zones of elemental explosion, Lei Hong did not pause for a second, continuing to pursue with sword in hand.

Although the road was difficult, it was hundreds of miles shorter than taking the water route. Thus, after traveling alone on horseback for some twenty days, Master Zhou entered the territory of Jingzhou, in the Northern Jinghu Circuit.

Master Zhou took the paper, the ink still wet. A single glance was enough to tell him that this newly written poem did not differ by a single character from the one on the draft paper.

As for the boys, they all focused their attention on Li Yunyan, their eyes filled with a complex mix of admiration, infatuation, and longing.

To avoid giving herself away in front of him, she decided to play along, grabbing her bag and claiming she was heading home right then.

To be honest, my life is a mess right now. I came here just to see Tang Gongru, to pass on a message from his father and ancestors, and incidentally... to help him if I could. But looking at him now, he seems to be doing quite well. Is it time for me to go?

Ling Chi did not care about the timing of the Star Lord Mao Ri's entrance. After subduing the Scorpion Spirit with his "Universe in the Sleeve," Ling Chi entered the God of Cookery space, took out a dish, and force-fed it to the spirit.

Zhao Sihai himself held a 25% stake in Sihai Holdings. Excluding the 30% held jointly by the central government and the Tianjin municipal government, and the 21% held by the four major state-owned banks, Zhao Sihai was the largest private shareholder—a man whose wealth could truly rival a nation.

Celestial soldiers clad in golden armor charged forward, brandishing halberds. Each one possessed the strength of a Half-Saint, and there were ten thousand of them.

Yun Jiang spoke, his face filled with disbelief. Among all the races beyond the realm, to comprehend the intent of eternity while beneath the state of eternity was a feat one in ten thousand.

Nan Shengyue had initially disagreed with this absurd scheme, but Sheng Youqian had invited the director of her orphanage to "persuade" her. Coupled with her desperate desire for revenge, she had no choice but to agree for the time being.

The sea warriors marched in unison up the terraced steps of the force field. Even though the march was arduous, like walking through a quagmire, not a single one retreated.

He couldn't shake the feeling that the aura of this place was off, as if it harbored some kind of murderous intent he couldn't even imagine.

As a friend in adversity, Wang Hehe had always been blunt yet obedient toward Qian Mu.

She had heard such conversations more than once. Taohua, in particular, had dragged her aside one night to talk about how to perform a craniotomy on a living person, even claiming that by making a cut behind the ear, one could peel off human skin in one piece. It terrified her so much that she huddled in bed all night, unable to sleep. After all, those were her father and brother; how could she not be worried?

Whenever she was by his side, she felt as if she were trapped in a quagmire, unable to muster any strength.

Clearly, she hadn't brought many servants on this trip, so when she had to do things herself, she had to wear gloves and chew her food slowly and carefully.

Thinking of this, she ordered takeout and took a shower. By the time she finished, the food had arrived. After eating her fill, she buried her head and fell into a deep sleep, ready to head back to the set the next day.

"I'm really sorry for delaying the filming process," Wan Qi apologized to Lin Lin, who was standing to the side.

Zhan Tiannie nodded. Holding her in his arms, he looked down, unable to resist reaching out to touch her face.

Although he could barely make out her potential location through the static on the phone, Cheng Dajun still asked to confirm.

Perhaps she could not give him her heart, but she could offer him companionship and warmth. In her heart, Jun Feiyu was a special existence, no less significant than Mo Youxun, though it was a feeling that transcended both friendship and romance.

"How is it? My company isn't too bad, right? But I don't like it here. As soon as I arrive, I feel incredibly stifled, and all the things from the past start appearing in my mind," Xu Fei said as she walked into the office and sat on the sofa. By the looks of it, her mood had improved somewhat.

The scene on the field was too painful to watch. Ted had launched a fierce team fight, trading three for three. While they had severely damaged WD, they had suffered heavy losses themselves; not only did they fail to gain any advantage, but they also wasted a great deal of time they should have spent farming.

But one thing was certain: there were no strong winds at the cliff's edge, otherwise they surely would have been blown off, and they wouldn't even have known how they died.

"The one who pushed me was someone else." With the victim, Gu Ye, saying as much, no one else had any room to interject.
