Volume One, Chapter 28: Young Mrs. Rong, Have You Come to Bring Me Food?

Rong Shaoqin took his leave.

Inside the carriage, Su Han leaned against Qi Yao. Qi Yao held her, his eyes narrowed, and the two remained silent throughout the journey, their mutual understanding deepening.

The room was fully furnished, requiring only a simple cleaning before it could be occupied with peace of mind. The two of them replaced the curtains and clapped their hands in satisfaction.

However, Xie Ju and Fu Yi had already promised him that the title of "Emperor's Protégé" would be within his grasp. The quality of his policy essay no longer mattered; what mattered was what he intended to write.

There was a voice—intoxicating like wine, alluring like a demon, bewitching like a fox. Even though the person wore a look of impatience, signaling for others to keep their distance, people could not help but feel their hearts stirred by the temptation.

Gu Qingyun occasionally wondered if their current calculus was the same as in his previous life. He could not recall if the theories matched, but he believed that these calculus symbols must be vastly different, given the different national circumstances.

"Very well, then. Does your demand for a 'blood debt to be paid in blood' mean you intend to exterminate the entire Zheng clan?" That would be far too tragic and bloody.

When the child ran out, Chen Qingzhi instinctively picked up the shoe the child had dropped. He took a few steps in pursuit, but upon seeing the fearful expression the child displayed while wailing, he halted his steps.

It was fortunate that he had enjoyed tinkering with such electrical appliances in the past. Coupled with what he had seen from time to time at that family’s home, he had actually managed to fix it. Afterward, he kept it as a prized possession.

No, it was likely that everyone else knew, except for the first person she had approached. Otherwise, why would Ye Jingying have bet on the other side the moment she arrived? No wonder no one had paid her any mind no matter how hard she tried to incite them earlier.

He himself lacked the ability to scale walls or vault over roofs. Among those he could trust by his side, capable of easily retrieving the register from the rafters, there was truly no one else but Fu Qi.

One was imposing and unruly, his eyes filled with care and excitement. The other was weathered and persistent, revealing a mix of guilt and joy.

Just as the old men were utterly bewildered, several fire trucks and police cars roared in from the distance. Seeing the police arrive, they quickly concealed themselves and headed toward the headquarters of the Yamaguchi-gumi.

The energy of heaven and earth nurtures all living things; the sigh of Tianshu brings the destruction of all beings! Tianshu controls the energy of heaven and earth, which in turn nurtures the world, but when Tianshu sighs, it shall be the moment of all life’s demise.

So, the Emperor was not yet aware that the Imperial Elder Brother already knew of this matter. All she had to do now was remain silent and pretend to be ignorant.

She could feel Chen Fei’s affection for her and the sorrow he had shown when she left. She could sense that Chen Fei hoped for her to stay; if she were to return, there would certainly be no issues.

Wu Yutong pulled out her phone, intending to call Wu Yulin to clear things up, but the battery had died and the phone had shut down at some point. She looked at the dimming sky outside; at this hour, he should be off work and heading back to their rented apartment.

"Brothers... do you remember the vow we once made?" one of the elites suddenly shouted with great intensity.

The flames condensed, resembling flowing magma, while the central core had already solidified into a deep crimson meteorite.

Her words at this moment were like knives, stabbing fiercely into his heart; he found himself unable to catch his breath.

Naga looked at Ode with a face full of guilt. "Great Elder, I am sorry, but Naga is truly so very tired. You watched Naga grow up, and now that Naga has found someone to lean on, Naga wishes to rest. The Great Elder has always loved Naga the most; please, let Naga be self-willed just this once."
