Si Yao smiled gently. "Let's go back."

Xing Jue didn’t leave; he stayed close by, lying beside Si Yao.

Si Yao rose and returned to her room, with Xing Jue following behind, resting by the bedside.

Unable to sleep in the middle of the night, Si Yao turned on her phone, set to silent.

The executive producer had called more than a dozen times.

Si Yao didn’t answer but glanced at Weibo instead.

If today had been this account’s owner playing the training match, the outcome would have been completely different. After all, having advantages in the top, mid, and jungle lanes, and as long as the bottom lane held steady without giving the opponents any chance like he did, the chances of winning would have been very high.

“So I only accept Shui Ling who come through legitimate channels. Those who come through shady means, I refuse all of them. I don’t want my uncle to scold me,” Ming Xi deliberately cast a glance at Bei Qiyun, who looked apologetic, then continued with a smile.

Lately, the Mu family had been in utter chaos. Acting now would likely yield a high chance of success.

Bai Ye nodded, and Mu Jinxuan raised his hand. Several men dressed in black, hidden in the shadows, quickly stepped forward. They knew what to do without needing Mu Jinxuan to say a word.

After much turmoil, everyone almost believed that Gu Yue was playing the game of ‘push and pull’ with desire. Moreover, Long Yan had repeatedly sought out Gu Yue and even specially let her rest on the side today while they observed their military training.

Hu Jiu Niang naturally did not care about Qin Feng’s intimate gesture. They had already done more intimate things, so this was merely a happy gesture.

Countless lost messages repeatedly shattered Nangong Yan’s heart. He seemed to age much overnight, his spirit broken. Yet he sent people to search relentlessly while desperately managing state affairs, leaving no time to grieve or lose control.

Sitting before this doctor was a young couple holding the left and right hands of a boy seated between them, their worried eyes fixed on the doctor.

At this stage, the Palace City was in ruins and desolation; nine out of ten houses in the capital were empty, pervaded by an atmosphere of bleakness. Xiao Fan followed closely, guarding Nie Yuqing’s side without leaving her, accompanied by Tian Ya and Hai Hun.

The Morning Star Alliance paid no heed to the enemies eyeing them greedily and launched an unrestrained campaign to hunt down spies.

She noticed yesterday that Ma Yichen no longer had the item in his possession, indicating that this life of Ma Yichen was not meant for cultivation.

Boluoyi nodded, recited a spell beside the man from Great Qin. After a moment, the man’s eyes slowly opened, clear and bright, though his body had yet to regain consciousness.

A few steps forward, a kick knocked one down, then a leap to grab another, but just as his fingers touched the other’s clothes, the opponent suddenly vanished.

At this moment, Leng Yu strode forward, activating the Hunting Heaven Bow, appearing like a giant demon hunting the celestial eagle.

A tiger’s roar came from midair. Xiao Ran straightened his back swiftly and looked up to see the legendary Qiongqi descending from the sky, followed by a mass of black mist.

As Ghost Old Man pulled up Gui Xin and Gui Yu and they swiftly moved, the beasts regained their senses and roared furiously, chasing after the former in unison, ignoring the objects falling through the void.

Leng Hanche held a card and, with a ‘swish’, the apartment door opened. He then led Su Mianmian inside. The apartment wasn’t large, but it was fully furnished with all the necessary furniture.
