Chapter 52: Chopsticks Flying
"I shall take my leave now, and let Mr. Qian ponder over this. I will wait for your reply in a day or two," Xu Tieyan said, then stood up and took his leave.
As they drew closer, seeing Fang Zheng actually carrying Fang Xiao and Fang Tian, astonishment spread across their faces as they wondered what had happened.
Although Xiaomeng did not agree with Wan's perspective, she still wanted to find a solution from Wan's line of thought.
Qin Nanyue glanced sideways at Su Sumei, who was hiding behind Ji Mofeng and thought she had escaped disaster, a mocking curve playing at the corner of his mouth.
"Serperior, use Disable." With a severe type disadvantage and a botched move execution, regardless of what the commentators outside the arena said, Liangren remained calm and composed on the battlefield.
"Did Mr. Qian know I was returning today, and come specially to meet me?" Yu Haoran asked in surprise.
Ever since Lieutenant General Heijiro Kimura, Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army, had visited Babic and the other three engineers, their treatment had improved by leaps and bounds. This was presumably due to special instructions given by Chief of Staff Kimura himself.
Hearing her words, Qin Nanyue raised his head, his indifferent gaze sweeping across everyone in the living room, and spoke every word with deliberate clarity.
"They found a man for me according to their own standards. I resolutely refused. But they felt they were doing it for my own good, and scolded me for being ungrateful. In the end, they drove me to the brink of death to force me, and with no other choice, I got married," the proprietress said with a desolate expression.
However, just because Liangren knew did not mean ordinary people outside knew, and tonight marked the end of the graduation lectures.
Then he added, "Dabu Shuiyun, escort Commander Lang." His tone carried a sense of relief. Seeing this, Lang Qige felt a bitter taste in his heart; unable to bear looking at Qiu Xuan's painful expression any longer, he strode out of the room.
For Lu Yu, the tiny bit of lingering light injuries could no longer serve as an obstacle to his cultivation, nor could they delay half a day of precious time waiting for a full physical recovery before proceeding. The yearning for progress was burning fiercely inside Lu Yu.
Yan Zhen strode along the main road carrying the Evil Emperor Blade. Having made such a fuss all day, he hadn't even eaten lunch, so it was time for dinner. Arriving at the cafeteria, he ordered a large pile of dishes to fill his stomach first, and after finishing, strolled away leisurely.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Anzi immediately set about checking for any loopholes; if he were caught, he would surely be beaten black and blue before his time was up.
Then let us see pseudo-Emperor of Water swordsmanship pitted against pseudo-Emperor of Water swordsmanship, to see whose pseudo-Emperor of Water swordsmanship is truly the most formidable.
Now that they had dealt with so many members of the Ouyang family, even with changed names and concealed faces, they could be considered to have forged a deep enmity with them.
"For this, I must thank you. At first, I thought they were my father's enemies. Although they trapped me without killing me and tried to capture me from the very beginning, their strength far exceeded mine. I used their desire to capture me and risked everything to break out of their encirclement."
With a prolonged shout, a terrifying wave of internal energy erupted through his body, transforming into a dreadful golden radiance that cast a brilliant golden glow over his entire frame. The force surged out of him, forming an immense wave of peerless strength that battered his surroundings in every direction.
After a moment, the four finally reached the very bottom of the Xuanxun Cave. A square cold pool, roughly a zhang wide, continuously billowed with bone-chilling mist. Qian Eryi could not help shivering, and looking around, he saw the body of Yun Bibo resting quietly upon a stone bed made of solid ice.
As the people of the Super Ghost Clan departed, everyone's expression shifted drastically. A single figure was caught in the shockwaves, sent hurtling toward the direction of the Ghost Domain Abyss, before plunging fiercely into the endless darkness.
After a brief conversation, Qianye finally parted ways with the two. Walking over to Yun Biqing, he greeted her and departed. Bi Shui and Qinghua, however, lingered for a long time, watching the direction of Qianye's departure, reluctant to leave.
Large tears fell heavily upon the moon-white silk handkerchief, beneath the misty moisture of which lay the graceful texture of Xiangfei bamboo.
Song Biying choked back a response, and following his direction, he could indeed see the patrons in the restaurant clearly. Even a fair number of diners curiously raised their heads to look over, yet none matched the face in his memory.
Yet the very next moment, to everyone's utter astonishment, Bu Zhanhu hurried over to Lin Yu and bowed deeply, apologizing with an expression of utmost respect.
Ignoring the idle chatter between Tang Luo and Yao Fei, Han Ruobing sat on the sofa, pondering and analyzing.
After Eight-Ten-Thousand relayed the message on behalf of Four-Sutra, he set off on the return journey to the Song residence in Yangzhou to resume their original mission. Every day, they continued to act as though they were venturing out to gather intelligence, moving about the marketplace and closely monitoring the movements of various factions in the Yangzhou prefecture.
Yuan Tian did not show weakness either; wielding a long sword with divine and demonic forces of completely opposing natures alternating within him, he neutralized all the attacks unleashed by Bai Bian. For now, however, Yuan Tian was still unable to wield the power of chaos.
At that moment, Tian Lin felt a sensation of extreme cold mixed with blazing heat. It was bizarre beyond description, almost impossible to put into words. Like actual running water, it passed through his palm and flowed straight into his chest. Without a doubt, this was the special energy contained within Hesbi.
Ji Baifeng's innocent inquiry made him look even more like a wolf in sheep's clothing, enticingly luring his prey into the trap.
Once they finished speaking, Gu Jiu and Chen Xin turned around. Before either could utter a word, the ramen chef spoke up first.
The maid Qingge immediately produced a prepared pouch of rewards and stuffed it into the head eunuch's hand. The head eunuch weighed it in his palm, and his smile deepened.
Su Haochen and He Chenguang were both startled at the same time, looking at each other's dialogue in silence for a good long while before finding words.
"True enough, Second Aunt's meaning is that our tempers are all running too high, and with the weather growing increasingly warm, we ought to purify our minds and restrain our desires," Lin Wanxin said indifferently.
Everyone present found his blustering and cowardly display amusing and could not help letting out snorts of laughter.
A surge of heat rose in my chest, and my eyes grew moist at the thought that I had nearly brushed past this figure. If the outcome had truly been a twist of fate, how would I face my past in the remaining years of my life, and how could I continue into my future?
"Well then, is it still the same place as before? And the time hasn't changed either, right?" Gu Jiu asked doubtfully.
After all, it is no exaggeration to say that being able to keep a company stagnant for twenty years straight shows that such a professional team is indeed professional enough.
With every step Han Yu took, a deep footprint was left imprinted on the stairs. Thus Han Yu crossed the stairs step by step and reached the second-floor corridor. And the entire second floor consisted of only a single room.
