Volume 1, Chapter 47: The Disappeared Woman (26)

Although the address "Student Chen" made Chen Ji slightly startled, compared to those titles like "Young Master Chen" or "Mr. Chen", being called "Student Chen" undoubtedly made Chen Ji feel much more grounded. After all, it was only a few months ago that he was still a high school student.

Lin Lei asked casually. Since this was Kyoto and not Ningcheng, and he was unfamiliar with the place, he naturally had to ask Lin Yin if there was a place with less traffic where he could practice driving.

The surroundings, originally pitch black, were now illuminated by their own lights, revealing twinkling lights in all directions. Consequently, various animals began to enter the White-Clothed Gentleman's field of vision.

"Be a good baby, aren't I still here? With me by your side, what are you afraid of? No matter how big the trouble is, I'll carry it for you, don't worry." Lin Lei's head gently touched Yun Su's head, feeling the silkiness of Yun Su's hair with his cheek, while his hands held one of hers and gently patted it.

"Three thousand taels!" Eldest Miss Qu, Mrs. Wu, and Nanny Wang all shrieked in unison.

Creating a peach blossom grove was no easy task; they first had to clear a patch of open land and then transplant the trees. Fortunately, the environmental protection company felt somewhat guilty about canceling the overwater wooden cabins, so this peach grove served as their compensation.

The next day, accompanied by Feilong, Mo Siyin caught up with the beast-drawn carriage carrying Ah Ye, Grandma, and her father.

"I came back to get my phone, and also, I'm leaving. Eat your lunch by yourself. Anyway, once Auntie Liu has made it, you can go downstairs and eat on your own," Ye Qingqing said as she walked over to the bed to pick up her dropped pink phone, though it looked somewhat worn.

As for Liu Ming, who had been keeping a low profile all along, he just smiled without speaking, yet vigilantly clutched his own share tightly, terrified that Lu Hu might shamelessly launch a surprise attack.

Failing this mission was entirely due to his own carelessness, and trying to save everyone now would be even harder than ascending to heaven. He couldn't help but sigh, deciding to reunite with Wang Xiuhong before plotting their next move.

"Liu Feng, I don't know how the secret realm was formed, nor do I know what you obtained inside it, but I can imagine it to some extent."

Yet the temptation of the Golden Soul Wood was simply too great, and the mysterious object inside the brocade box filled him with boundless longing.

"If it were you, would you give up easily?" Tang Mochen retorted with a question. However, his tone was very calm, devoid of any angry questioning, sounding more like a casual chat.

Qin Shiqi had also been startled by the sword strike Ye Chuanyi unleashed earlier. His face was somewhat pale, his vital energy in turmoil, and the crimson cloak billowing around him snapped like an ancient battle flag in the gale, nearly shattering the entire void.

What if they ran back to Tianxuan and brought back dozens of Celestial Masters? That was by no means impossible.

After all, Shen Xinyu trained with relentless perseverance, and his familiarity with this arena far surpassed that of Yang Yi, who could only search his memories for countermeasures.

To be honest, if the commanders on both sides hadn't both suffered sudden mishaps, Dong Zhuo's charging soldiers very likely would have routed the outnumbered coalition forces completely.

"Wuwu..." Seeing Chu Haoran's distressed appearance, Cai Xinting cried out anxiously, tears already streaming down from the corners of her eyes.

"I originally wanted the whole family to chat and laugh together, but you all look so tense. Am I really that scary?" As the dancers and musicians on the stage withdrew, the Shangyang Palace grew even more solemn. Min'er's words were delivered with such force that everyone stiffened their expressions.

This kind of demeanor possessed an unrivaled, magnificent beauty; even if no one appreciated it, she would admire her own fragrance in solitude, her nobility tinged with a hint of desolation. This was definitely not a temperament ordinary people could possess. For a fleeting moment, the boy in Binglan's eyes transformed into a noble prince, only his kingdom had perished.

Upon careful reflection, Lin霄 had never heard of any major incidents occurring in the entire capital city—at least for ten thousand years, there had never been an invasion by powerful enemies.

However, Huang Junchu had been on relatively good terms with Qi Yubai back then, and since he was a straightforward person devoid of schemes, Qi Yubai could understand what he said.

"Fine, then I will make the decision for you, but there may be sacrifices," Su Kouye said solemnly.

Xuan Yuan felt a surge of panic, fearing he might lose Suoying and her companion right then and there. Without hesitation, he channeled his internal energy and gave chase straight ahead.

The dream ended, and Binglan opened her eyes. The morning light was so bright, the sky so clear, yet why did the feeling from the dream remain so vivid and intense? It was time to properly calculate the gains and losses.

After my departure, a long line of cars bearing the insignia of the Academy of Sciences drove up to the main gate of the White Horse Temple.

After a fierce melee, no one managed to get close to Duanhun. Gritting her teeth, Binglan rushed forward with the embroidered silk sash, ignoring the attacks from behind and heading straight for Duanhun. Shuli and the others caught on, fiercely blocking Hongyi and the two others to carve out a path for Binglan.

"Thud!" Yuanqing snapped her eyes open to find a deep blue iron door before her, while her mother had stumbled forward against it. She could feel her mother's terror—and it wasn't fear of the fire.

"Naturally, Jiang's faction is the largest force in the Hedong region, and to our Peicheng, you are VIPs among VIPs. Now that you are trapped in Pei City, it is our duty to protect your safety," Xinmu said with a smile.

The financial auditor, named Shao Qibin, learned that Li Hao was willing to advance him three months' salary—amounting to 300,000 yuan—on the spot. Shao Qibin resolutely resigned from his position at one of the Big Four accounting firms and firmly chose to follow Boss Li.

After weighing her options carefully for a moment, Situ Tingting gritted her teeth fiercely and obediently began stripping off her clothes piece by piece.

"However, after going through all the procedures and hoping to withdraw money to treat a sick family member, only to find the money truly withdrawn, the patient lying in the hospital bed has long since 'returned to the western paradise' and stopped breathing. The family members who went to withdraw the money are then kicked around like footballs between the savings institution where they deposited their money and the physicians of the medical hall."

Naturally, this person, just like the previous four, kowtowed and paid respects with utmost reverence, a smile of indescribable worship and awe plastered across his face.

The sun set in the west, leaving the heartbroken wanderer at the edge of the world; no ancient road, no lean horse, accompanied only by the west wind and a scattering of melancholy leaves. Ye Qian opened his eyes as if he had anticipated it all along. Though he didn't check a watch, he already knew the exact time—a body memory cultivated over ten years, impossible to alter no matter what.

The human race is truly despicable and shameless, resorting to any means to achieve victory. The blue-haired man thought coldly, clearly holding their two-on-one bullying behavior in utter contempt.

Even an upright official finds it hard to settle family matters, so Li Hao couldn't offer too many opinions. He had a pretty good impression of Zhou Ruotong's parents; at least they gave the impression of being reasonable and knowing right from wrong.

"It's time for us to move out." A dashing man dressed in military uniform and a service cap walked over. Major General Ye had arrived, and at this very moment, the soldiers of the X Unit could finally unleash their true strength.
