Volume 1, Chapter 54: Teacher Shen, Are We Really Going for a Drive Tonight?

Wen Zhi hurriedly explained. Qin Yi was stunned as she listened and instinctively glanced toward Shen Nianchi, only to find him staring fixedly at Wen Zhi.

Of course, it was also possible that he had deliberately asked the question to make people believe he bore no hostility toward the Red Army, thereby prompting Zhang Qingshan and the other two to confess on their own.

“If you want me out of your lives, that’s simple. Get Shi Yanyu to stop pestering me, and I’ll disappear from your lives at once,” Lin Hao said agitatedly. He knew that telling Hua Ke about this was risky, but who would know whether it would work without giving it a try?

“How is it? I heard that your Falling Sunset Sect has a powerful expert. Could it be that the rumor is untrue?” The young man’s words, spoken as he looked down at the injured Liu Yueqin, came through with perfect clarity to Zheng Fan.

I stopped looking at the screen and ran toward them as fast as I could. When I arrived, I was ten meters away.

Apart from Lin Hao, everyone else was stunned. Lan Bo was the local tyrant of Peaceful Village, and with his mother’s protection, no one throughout the village dared oppose him. Yet Lin Hao was asking someone to slap him in the face and deny him his dignity. Wasn’t that tantamount to courting death?

Though the emperor had said he was pleased, once his delight had passed, a measure of suspicion remained in his heart. Xiao Yan had always kept a low profile, so how could he have won the tutor’s praise so often? Nor could one rule out the possibility that Duan Rubi had lied on Xiao Yan’s behalf.

Outside the courtyard, a chaotic din of footsteps arose, accompanied by the clattering of armor striking armor. Someone shouted loudly as he directed troops here and there, issuing orders in panic and confusion.

“Of course. Perhaps it’s catching fish.” Qing He had barely finished speaking when the waterbird returned with a fish in its beak. It raised its neck and swallowed the fish whole. Qing He glanced at Yelu Sa and saw how engrossed he was, so she could not help but let out a mocking laugh. As expected of someone raised in luxury within the imperial palace—even such a simple matter was beyond him.

Her gaze fell once more upon the door to the president’s office. Liu Mengmeng suddenly felt as though she were a wife coming to catch her husband in the act. In truth, however, she did not know whether Yan Yeting was inside, nor did she know whether the President Yan mentioned by Anne was the same man.

She had thought that Tang Tuo before her was already a rare phoenix among men, handsome and distinguished beyond compare.

With the wedding matron’s support, Luo Wusheng limped into the bridal chamber. The instant his backside touched the bed, he felt as though he had finally been liberated.

As the great sword came crashing down with a fierce surge of force, the sickle spun relentlessly through the air and hacked toward Su Mu. Almost by the time he noticed it, the sickle was already only thirty feet away. Never could he have imagined that a skeleton with no intelligence whatsoever would throw the weapon in its hand.

The carriage was as warm as a greenhouse, filled with the gentle warmth of spring. Sitting on the bed, Ye Ge held Mei Zhaoling in his arms. Because he had been constantly worried about the recovery of her injuries, he had traveled at an exceedingly slow pace all along the way.

Tie Xiang thought to himself, Are you siding with Liu Yan again now? You were the one who drove him away back then, and now you’re suddenly “thinking of others”?

At eight in the evening, Zhang Yunze returned to his room and took a shower. Then he went with Wang Yuehan to find somewhere to eat—or rather, to wander through the city reputed to be the largest sleepless city in the world.

“Stop! Your blood vessels can’t withstand an infusion of dragon blood at such a high concentration. They’ll rupture!” At that moment, Nasalisais had no choice but to speak up.

If Gu Youran had been willing to sacrifice herself and Tang Tuo and the others solely out of remembrance and regret over Leng Youhan’s death, that would have been one thing.

Luo Wusheng’s expression became somewhat comical because of the involuntary interjection he had just uttered. Fifth Mo burst out laughing at the sight, unable to restrain himself.
