The day Ji Junyao graduated from graduate school, the sunlight was especially harsh.

She stood at the school gate in her academic robes, clutching her diploma tightly in her hands, her heart feeling strangely empty.

For the past three years, she had devoted all her energy to her studies, believing that this would help her forget Gu Changyuan. Yet when graduation day finally arrived, she still could not help thinking of him.

But neither of them noticed that, while they were attacking the black pillar, Mo Yanyu, who was fighting Gu Lanyi and Qian Sha on the distant opposite side, had detected the disturbance here.

The original purpose of this mission had been to contact Zhou Ming, but now Wuxin had encountered this unexpected situation as well, leaving both of them extremely anxious.

“Birthmarks, huh? What can a birthmark prove? Plenty of people have them, and with technology so advanced these days, even a birthmark can be faked!” The bespectacled man sneered.

He went to ask the doctor what was wrong. The doctor wore an embarrassed expression and stammered that the injuries were too serious, so the patient needed to lie down and rest more. Once the pain eased in a few days, everything would be fine.

The implication was that he had never truly let go from the beginning. When success and fame finally arrived, how many people would be willing to give up such readily available glory?

A flash of purple light appeared in his right hand, and in an instant a long spear radiating violet brilliance materialized. The spear swept across the air, piercing straight through the man’s protective spiritual energy and killing him with a single thrust.

Without saying anything more, Gu Lanyi turned and left. She could not ask where the Heavenly Empress lived either, lest she expose herself.

“I’ll ask you one more time: Do you have five hundred million? If not, don’t blame me for being ruthless. I’ll break the arms and legs of everyone here and throw you all out!” Lin Fan’s voice was chillingly cold, like a verdict pronounced by the Grim Reaper.

The nouveau riche had extremely abundant funds, and naturally offered an extremely generous reward. As a result, someone accepted the mission.

“It’s all right, Principal. With so many uncles and aunts here, I should at least come forward and resolve this matter,” Xia Youzhi said calmly.

“Youzhi, I called home yesterday. My mother said your family’s shop in the county town is about to open, isn’t it?” Li Mei asked with a smile.

Because the economy of the Song Dynasty was exceptionally prosperous, it issued a vast quantity of coins, and the coins of that era also came in an astonishing variety of types.

By the time the army arrived, there was no sign of anything at all. After searching without result, they could only return in silence.

As the price of jadeite material continued to rise, their family’s stock grew smaller and smaller. This year, they had to find a good master appraiser.

That old man was truly vicious! Li Qiushui slammed down her chopsticks and rose, intending to argue with him, but Li Qiushui’s mother grabbed her at once. She shook her mother’s arm, signaling her to remain calm for the moment.

Sun Chaowu was quite capable. Among all of the sons in the Sun family, he was considered one of the more favored, and usually helped manage the family’s porcelain business.

“It really does look somewhat similar. How strange!” Song Ran’s curiosity was aroused, and he casually ran his hands over the rock wall. Suddenly, a section of the wall trembled beneath his touch, startling him into leaping backward.

“Damn it! If only the firepower were a little stronger. Ideally, we could throw a nuclear bomb at him. Even if it didn’t kill him, he certainly wouldn’t retain the strength to move,” Ma Gongcheng said irritably.

But everyone had taken different routes. Even by the time they caught up with us, we still had not finished traversing this passage. It grew hotter the farther we went, and we did not know whether that was because the passage was narrow or because there were too many people.

When they rushed closer, the entire ground began to shake. Even Cao’s troops stationed in Yongqiu City could feel the city beneath their feet trembling, as though it might collapse at any moment. An aura of despair swept across the sky above Yongqiu like a hurricane.

At this moment, after hearing the unreasonable words spoken by this man who claimed to be the father of a doctoral student—

“They can be considered acquaintances. Sorry to have disturbed you.” After Pang Feng finished speaking, he left directly, leaving behind only two cultivators wearing bewildered expressions.

The next moment, beneath the horrified gazes of everyone present, the servants who had already been on the verge of death suddenly condensed into black cocoons one after another.

“I understand now. No wonder you became a legendary mercenary. So you’ve already passed through the trial of love?” Richard looked at Yi Tian with even greater curiosity.

He did not eat much. After finishing, he wiped his mouth with a sheet of paper, then glanced at me indifferently. I ignored him.

Thus, after the blacksmith took Pang Feng’s pill, the injuries on his body visibly began to heal. Gradually, strength returned to him, and he opened his eyes.

The vehicle drove on for a while longer, but all they could see was desert and barren mountains. Yilan was somewhat disappointed; she could not find even a single decent piece of timber.

“Be careful not to touch your hand today. Have Axu examine it again later. You can climb down using the gangway,” Guan Li instructed as he opened the cockpit door.

The spiral of flames showed no sign of weakening whatsoever. It continued plunging into the sky and flew toward the distant horizon.

At dawn, two forces roamed the streets of Xianyang City. One consisted of the constables from the Office of the Interior Administrator; the other was the three hundred soldiers under the command of the Magistrate of Xianyang. They searched house by house, looking for commoners who resembled bandits as well as local powerful families, and dragged them all into prison.

Although Yilan breathed a sigh of relief, her anger toward Hoss Bei was blazing. With a stern expression, she booked a hospital appointment on Tuduo Prime Star together with Hoss Bei. Even though she had never been particularly insistent about their engagement, Hoss Bei’s words today reminded her that a premarital examination was absolutely necessary, and that the sooner it was done, the better.

However, after taking into account that Yangping Pass had already been captured by the Yi army, and after confirming that some Shu soldiers had escaped during the battle between the two sides, Lu Xun was immediately alarmed. He hurriedly summoned Ma Xiu and the others. Upon hearing that Lu Xun had urgent and important military intelligence and was calling everyone together, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and Ma Yunlu immediately set aside their tasks and came running.
