Volume 1, Chapter 47: Can't a girl show a little restraint?

"Yanran, you all step outside for a moment. There are some things I'd like to discuss with this fellow surnamed Jiang in private."

"Alright, we'll wait for you outside!"

The three women left the private room together, but Ye Qingcheng lacked this awareness. Chen Fan glanced at her sideways and said, "You go out too!"

Ye Qingcheng's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Jiang Dong whisper to her, "Qingcheng, I already said I'd take care of the matter with the brooch for you. Trust me, let me talk to Chen Fan alone."

In his view, Chen Fan must have been terrified.

That was why he dismissed everyone else, wanting to have a private conversation with him.

This time, he simply had to put on airs and handle him properly.

"Alright, you two talk!"

After Ye Qingcheng left, only... remained in the private room.

Hearing this, Lin Miaojiao cast a reproachful look at Dong Yumin. The sisters-in-law had been chatting merrily together, but as the sky grew darker and mosquitoes began to multiply at the doorway, their conversation tapered off and they each dispersed.

Her mind was now completely filled with what had just transpired between herself and Zheng Yechang. The fact that Zheng Yechang was going to get engaged, the moment Zheng Yechang wiped away her tears, and the instant Zheng Yechang snatched her handkerchief. The more Bai Zhu'er thought about it, the more heartache she felt. She had to admit that Zheng Yechang had already attained a certain significant weight in her heart.

The two of them couldn't outrun their roommates, so they had no choice but to wait until after evening self-study to return and wash up. Gradually, however, people began racing for spots even after self-study ended, and so, the two of them were forced to manage in the dark at night.

Bai Tang felt annoyed inside by Aunt Bai's greedy and insatiable behavior, yet she found it inconvenient to show it too openly.

However, Zhang Yue could now handle things completely with rationality. Thinking about it this way, it was actually completely sufficient after all.

Seeing that Fan Jiabao had walked far away, Lin Miaojiao carried the rice cooker over to the large chair beside the table, then turned and went back into the kitchen to fetch the dishes.

As for the Gate-Monitoring Guard, the primary source of their troops came from the region of Shu. Among the six imperial guard armies, they were formed the latest and possessed the lowest combat effectiveness. People always bully the weak—a logic that not only Yuan Guanshou understood, but Gao Huan understood as well.

After a burst of smoke, the Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of the Asura Beetle turned into a section of a wooden log.

First, his fellow disciples had finally woken up; second, he no longer had to suffer from headaches over those vexing matters.

Usage method: Place two pairs of Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan in front of your eyes, and the system will automatically complete the replacement.

The fat man casually wiped the nearby incense burner a few times as well, and upon closer inspection, just as the blind man had predicted, what was engraved on this incense burner were precisely the village rules of the Wooden Man Village. They summarized some twenty or thirty rules, the majority of which focused on teaching people to be kind, with the most unusual one being the final rule, which stated that the secrets of the village ancestral hall must not be leaked.

The security technology level of the Kator people should be inferior to that of the Nard people. It was a pity they never had the opportunity before, but they could give it a try this time.

None of them had reacted in time, looking at all this with shock and astonishment, their gazes fixed and unmoving.

After the arrival of these four individuals, they had already sensed Ding Yang's cultivation realm, which was why they spoke so fearlessly in his presence. Who would have thought that the opposite party seemed even more impatient than them, striking out directly. One of them let out a roar, and the four immediately executed their combat skills in unison.

At this moment, whether in terms of the range, speed, or clarity of his spiritual detection, his soul was countless times stronger than before when he was still lingering at the Heavenly Realm Great Perfection. Moreover, as long as it was within the reach of his spreading soul, his attacks could similarly span a distance of ten thousand miles and be unleashed in an instant. Such means were completely on a different level from Dou Saints.

Fang's Industries currently employed over two thousand people, a quarter of whom were researchers; they truly could not spare that many hands. Besides, not just anyone could mine. Relying on the many elderly, weak, sick, and disabled individuals at Fang's Industries to extract ore would simply be signing their death warrants.

After all, from an official standpoint, this project was led by Jin Guoqiang, and Professor Zhang was completely detached from it. He must have prepared his alibi for not being at the scene long ago.

According to historical records, in order to leave no clues or traces that tomb raiders could discover, the burial site was never recorded.

The Seal of Heavenly Dao initially had no master; instead, it was independently controlled by the artifact spirit of the Seal of Heavenly Dao, known as Tianling, which suppressed the universe and all its directions.

Anyway, she had figured it out. Ever since she ruined the face of Ling Xiao's son, this fellow had been at odds with her.

Hoshino Junxia froze, taking in the teenager's almost unchanged appearance clearly, before drawing a breath to steady her gaze again, looking at him with bright, glowing eyes.

Whether on top of the city walls or beneath them—with the ramparts bustling with guards and preparations all day, and the travelers below exhausted from their journey and terrified—after the deep night fell, they gradually grew quiet, with only loud snores or sleep-talking disturbing others and provoking a few muttered curses.

This scroll was none other than the Taiji Diagram, one of the three supreme Xiantian treasures! The Taiji Diagram possessed boundless profundity and infinite creation, holding the power to transform Yin and Yang and the might to pacify the Four Elephants.

He had already noticed this place from the start, but initially, the Grand Envoy Lord had taken the initiative to speak, so it was not his place to say anything. However, this Konoha ninja was acting a bit too excessively; escorting was escorting, did he also have to moonlight in flirting with girls? Unable to watch any longer, he stepped over and forcefully inserted himself into the conversation.

"Caiyu, you really understand me. I... I truly have something I want to tell you." Jiang Chonglang had no choice but to admit.

As he spoke, Kinoshita Yoichiro waved his subordinates away while subsequently stepping out of the interrogation room himself.

"Flying fish?" She narrowed her eyes. Sure enough, apart from its wings, this beast really looked quite a bit like a fish from head to toe. In her original world, there was also the concept of flying fish; this thing was probably the equivalent of that.

Red Boy never cared much about item rewards; as long as there was a reward, and he wasn't left behind by others, that was enough! Thus, he accepted it readily and shouted, "Alright, Master!" As he spoke, Red Boy had already hurried to catch up.

The patterns on the edges of the box in his hand had distinct and sharp angles yet seemed to be formed of a single piece. However, the surface of the box still retained traces left by long-term burial underground, caused by slow oxidation and corrosion, which gave it an added sense of the passage of time.

Especially since he had to sally forth from the city to launch a sneak attack; just imagine, if the enemy were lying in ambush among the tall grass, by the time they were discovered, it would practically be face-to-face. A Maxim gun could hit the enemy, but by the same token, the enemy's arrows could pierce him into a hedgehog.

Although Xennalin had broken down and walked away just moments before, in an occasion like this, it was impossible for her to vanish for long. Besides, her infatuation with Bo Junyan was merely love at first sight; she had simply taken a liking to his face, family background, and talent, without any deep emotional attachment yet.

The Dragon River had been rerouted, deviating from Wucheng by a full five miles. To maintain the convenience of water transportation, Wucheng had no choice but to build a large new dock along the Dragon River five miles away.

Ji Chao desperately wanted to roll his eyes. Weren't all these people the result of the Great General's endless sheltering? If it were up to him, he would have long since disbanded those commoners. In this era, being able to afford to feed an army was already quite remarkable.

As for the banquet that followed, there was really nothing worth mentioning. Great Princess Zhaoshou acted as if she completely didn't know Qiao Huaping and Bai Feiye, limiting their interaction entirely to a couple of polite, perfunctory remarks within the bounds of social etiquette—and that was the extent of it.
