Chapter 53: The Examination

When Jiang Caiyuan ran toward Jiang Mi, she had not yet noticed Wen Zongfu. As she drew closer, she saw Wen Zongfu handing a cup of hot milk he had bought from somewhere to Jiang Mi, instructing her, "Drink something warm if you are thirsty. You might catch a cold if you drink cold liquids."

Jiang Caiyuan's expression changed instantly as she looked at Wen Zongfu with a complex gaze. To be honest, Wen Zongfu was extremely handsome. The moment she first laid eyes on him, she had fallen for him, especially after learning in advance...

In the Old Madam's eyes, without Li Qiuyi, she and the Right Prime Minister's Manor had no connection whatsoever. After all, being born of a concubine, she was an insignificant existence.

Hearing this, the man in the vest broke out in an even more violent cold sweat. Blood continued to drip from his chest, and his lips were trembling uncontrollably.

"That is very likely. If there is anything about me that catches someone's eye, it is only this." Zhu Tianyun agreed with Han Li's perspective.

Another three double-hours passed. Wei Qiuqiu began to sense her own body and felt a pleasant warmth within herself. When Li Yuanqing withdrew his hand, Wei Qiuqiu sat up from the stone platform. This time, she truly felt her physical body and realized she was a living person.

Jun Zizhen watched the car gradually disappear, utterly failing to understand where he had gone wrong.

"Are those two brothers dead?" Seeing the two Wang brothers lying there, Li Yuanqing asked again.

Seeing Li Ronghua step forward, Li Qiuyi only worried that something might happen to her and that she would be truly beaten by Mrs. Yu. Anxious, she hurriedly pulled Li Ronghua into her arms, adopting a posture that directly exposed her own back to Mrs. Yu, as if to say that if Mrs. Yu was going to strike, she would take the blows first.

"Why don't... you pour me some more?!" Guan Jinhong said to Jiang Sinan in a negotiating tone.

There was no knowing where Shang Meng had found a doctor, who actually exaggerated the injury on her head to mystical proportions, insisting she must be hospitalized for a period of time.

As soon as Hao Xinyan's voice trailed off, the surrounding classmates burst into a roar of laughter. Zhang Hongtao was usually used to being overbearing and arrogant, and quite a few students in the class had been bullied by him. Seeing him get taken down a peg now, everyone was overwhelmingly delighted.

While saying these words, Lin Xi did not slacken his observation of the two men. Unfortunately, he could not detect the slightest trace of abnormality on their faces. Nor was this unusual; if they could be so easily seen through by him, they would not have been entrusted with heavy responsibilities by Qian Longyun.

Gao Panglong was also furious. This Wei Dazhou was truly a piece of mud that could not be plastered onto a wall. He had kindly spoken to him, yet he treated it as wind past his ear. With someone like you constantly at Dahong's side, it was no wonder there were so many preconceptions against him within the party.

"Brother Wang, it looks like the platoon leader and the others haven't arrived yet. What should we do now?" Huang Shi asked. Although Wang Zhi might not be older than the other two, the skills he displayed along the way had deeply subdued them, and both men naturally began calling him Brother Wang.

Amidst the howling gale, Su Che and the others likewise did not dare to use their protective vital energy to block the dust right in front of the old man's head. Yet Su Che's action was the boldest; he immediately took out a thick, heavy cloak, wrapped Tianyin tightly from head to toe, and folded her into his embrace, unable to bear the thought of even a speck of dust touching her.

The truly troublesome matters now were the remaining three blood sariras. The one representing "desire" was with Mo Zhaonu; they were still lacking "sorrow" and "malice." Where on earth were these two located?

"I'll help, how can I help? Just say the word, and I'll see it through to the end! How's that? Am I acting like an older brother now?" Zhu Guoying was intentionally trying to lift his spirits and said with a hearty laugh.

Su Che muttered some incoherent nonsense to himself as he slowly floated upward. He had already discovered a fist-sized hole on the forehead of the statue. Without a doubt, the blood of the holy demon had to be extracted from that hole and swallowed into his stomach.

Ishiro Ishikawa was already aware of yesterday's major aerial battle; nearly all of their own aircraft had been lost. Ishikawa knew that this entire region would henceforth become a free-roaming zone for the newly formed 6th Army's aircraft.
