Chapter 38: The Counter Was Hijacked

"Mom, he has a dinner engagement tonight."

Madam Wen, showing no curiosity about her son's affairs, asked Jiang Mi instead how she felt about her first day working for Professor You at Lin University.

Jiang Mi replied, "Professor You is very easy to get along with. I feel the work environment is great, and it isn't difficult at all. I would like to continue working there."

Madam Wen naturally supported...

However, it was truly remarkable that this task was actually completed through Qingyou's fingers.

His nephew said he was in physical education class, so he walked into the sports field. The weather that afternoon was lovely, with blue skies and white clouds. On the field, there were many students as tall as his own legs, running, jumping rope, and chatting. He couldn't tell what they found so funny, but they were giggling and laughing incessantly.

"What else is there to think about? Chiang Tin-sang has no sense of honor; he threatened Uncle Po-wah using Sasa. What is the point of following a leader like that? I wish I could go and hack that bastard to death right now."

A true hand-holding involves subtle interactions. From a bystander's perspective, it might not be clear, but for the parties involved, Qingyou could distinguish it perfectly.

Not to mention that the human race’s own strength was already formidable, even if the human race were truly defeated by the combined forces of the myriad clans, no one would be able to get past Wang Zhan in the end.

Ye Rongjiu left one thing unsaid: the reason he did this was largely to put on a show for Jimmy.

Such a person is certainly the best helper when dealing with enemies, but once faced with internal treachery, they are prone to confusion.

Li Sansui turned to look outside, only to see a squad of men appearing to be government soldiers rushing to the entrance, followed by the sound of a heavy, masculine voice.

Her appearance was even more stunning; those clear, bright eyes were as fluid as autumn water, and a faint, melancholy beauty shimmered between her brows. Her jade cheeks were slightly flushed, and her lips seemed to carry a smile, like a flower just beginning to bloom in spring.

At first, they wanted to refuse, because adding sand to the porridge would surely result in the common people tearing them to shreds with insults. If it even reached the imperial court, heads would roll.

In any case, there was no rush; he would wait for her to rest well before asking exactly what had happened during this time.

Xia Ziwei walked to the mirror and realized that her current state truly made that act impossible. She couldn't help but smile bitterly, then turned to look at Fang Hao, her face slightly flushed as she took a running start toward the other side and leaped across.

It spiraled out of control, spreading all the way to Southern Europe. Now, the Southern Chinese Empire’s army was at war with Austria, while the navy wreaked havoc on the ports of the "white-skins" along the Mediterranean, working with feverish intensity.

Although Chen Yuxue was belligerent, she knew how to cherish the lives of her own soldiers. Especially when her side held the advantage, driving her own troops to their deaths would only invite scrutiny.

For this reason, Lü Huiqing overturned the policies of Li Shizhong and Lü Gongbi, retiring and dismissing almost all of the so-called "eight thousand usable troops."

As Zhong Kui’s voice faded, he vanished from that place, and at the same time, the entrance disappeared as well.

The girl in the round bun and I had been wearing these same clothes for a long time without changing. We had torn them in many places while fleeing into the mountains and seeking refuge down below. When he saw our getup, he likely guessed we were refugees, but he gave us plenty of face, never asking or mentioning a word. He found us a house to settle in and even left us several tens of thousands in cash.

The leading patrol soldier felt a sudden flash of red light pass through the corner of his eye. He immediately turned back, vigilant, and shouted out loud.

The beautiful youth always wore a spring-breeze smile on his face. Even when he was saying words that extinguished all hope in others, the angle of his upturned lips never changed. For someone to be able to do this, it only goes to show just how deep his indifference toward human life had become.

"Shut up! Is the Wujie Palace something you lot are fit to discuss?" some who supported the Wujie Palace shouted.

Beibeili's explanation left him quite surprised; it turned out the cultivation system was so critical. Once one stepped onto the wrong path, there could be no further growth for the rest of one's life, leaving one stuck and stagnant forever.
