Chapter 29: A Sudden Windfall and Catching Loaches

[Page 1 of 3]

Yan Mingqiao will not be able to go this year. Her elder sister is getting married, and Yan Mingyue is about to become engaged, so it is impossible for her to return to Xiaoyang with them.

For a film that performs reasonably well, the theatrical run generally lasts anywhere from one to two months.

Jiang Xu took a look and was amazed to discover that An Nuonuo had handled everything flawlessly.

After the group finished their meal, Zhao Yi left with Lu Su. The army commanded by Zhou Yu was due to set out at dawn the following day, and they still had many things to prepare.

Gu Mian was somewhat helpless. When she said nothing was wrong, she meant that there was nothing wrong with finding her elder brother—not that she herself was all right. Still, she really was fine, so she took the opportunity to go to her brother’s courtyard and call him over. Since their mother wanted to question her, she could wait until her brother returned before asking anything.

Only some people failed to notice the strange atmosphere, unable to see that every word from Shen Yuanjing was like an arrow, striking straight into Yan Mingze’s heart.

Unless you can obtain more empty-shell fighter jets, tanks, and the like retired from the American military next time, we will have no chance to cooperate again.

Chu Hantang finally had time to think about the plot points. Xie Sihuai had kept her occupied the entire previous night, leaving her no time to think, and the system had not appeared either. There was truly nothing she could do.

Chu Hantang swallowed her grievances in silence. She now understood that all of Xie Sihuai’s strange behavior today was because of Chi Yaoyao.

The carriage had barely come to a stop when the two people inside heard a hurried series of footsteps descending the stairs outside. Ning Jiu turned to Yan Yunzhou with an expression that plainly said, “See? What did I tell you?”

If my lord is determined to wage war against the Tadi, how many troops will you need to ensure victory?

Wen Yin’s consciousness gradually began to return, yet she still could not open her eyes. A faint ache spread through her entire body as her senses slowly recovered.

At the same time, the Dragon-Stealing Envoy suddenly noticed, in astonishment, that something strange was happening inside Lin Feng’s body. It seemed that an invisible force was stopping the blood flowing out of him.

“Damn it. I’m truly unlucky. I never expected to run into them while carrying out a mercenary mission. Not only am I missing out on the reward, I’ve also lost ten percent of my experience for nothing.” The King of the Gods was deeply irritated. Just as the third wave of attacks from Qin Feng and the others struck him, he vanished with a whoosh and returned to the White Tiger City respawn point.

“You.” With so many people around, Huang Zijie was furious yet unable to vent his anger. He could only glare coldly at her, then lower his head and warn her in a low voice beside her ear, “I’ll settle accounts with you when we get back.” Hmph. If he had known they would make him dress up as a waiter, he never would have come.

“Senior Spirit Venerable, we all know each other well enough by now. Just say whatever you have to say plainly. Don’t keep stopping and starting—isn’t that deliberately toying with us?” Zhang Feng complained. His words made everyone laugh, easing the heavy atmosphere considerably.

Moreover, ever since Wen Yin had fallen ill and fainted, Leng Jingtian had no longer assigned Night Eagle to escort her to and from school.

At this thought, Lin Feng could not help reflecting on Yue Chiyu’s affairs. They had parted at Lone Peak twenty years ago, and he had never imagined that they would now be separated forever. It was a pity that he had never had the chance to visit Meimei in the Eastern Continent, and he did not know how she was doing. Perhaps after Third Senior Brother’s death, she had remained there to keep watch over his grave.

After True Man Wumu’s body was cremated, it became a heap of ashes. Just as the old farmer had predicted, he had been reduced to dust. After all these years, his primordial spirit had most likely ceased to exist; all that remained was perhaps a trace of awareness from the moment before his death.

“I know,” Li Xu said with a silent nod. The poor and the rich would always belong to two different worlds. The poor hated and envied the rich, while the rich looked down upon the poor. Two parallel lines would never intersect. That was the law governing the divide between rich and poor in the cosmic age.

Wondering what exactly had happened, she hurried through the company entrance and immediately searched with her eyes for the office’s greatest gossip, Bian Xian. But after looking everywhere, she found no sign of him in the vast work area.

After that day, Jun Mu had sent Ling Hongzhuang away to a place far from headquarters. He could no longer remember exactly where. In any case, she was an unimportant person, and he would not waste his thoughts remembering her.

The commotion immediately attracted many passersby, who stopped to watch. Seeing a handsome man sprawled on the ground after such a nasty fall, they all burst out laughing.

She did not know why, but she felt that the way Old Man Luo looked at her was somewhat strange, as though he were plotting something.

“Stop wasting your breath. I don’t want to see you again. Get out of here right now.” Chen Haoyu dragged Bai Muyan outside.

Leaving was one matter, but whether he could simply let him train alone in peace was another.

If Bei Yeyi were wary of the Lanyu clan, shouldn’t she have gone after A Mo long ago? Why wait until now to target A Qing?

As she watched him lean toward her, her heartbeat involuntarily quickened, though she forced herself to remain composed.

A burst of laughter came from outside the door, clear as a tinkling bell, carrying both innocent purity and playful charm.

She rode forward and stopped the Rolls-Royce, which had already turned around and was preparing to leave. She brought her bicycle to a halt directly in front of it.

To Luo An, when someone helps keep your secret, you must offer them some benefit in return. That is simply a means of control. How could you expect a horse to run while refusing to feed it?
