Volume 1, Chapter 23: Shen Qingzhu’s Formal Apology

"How much is it? I will have the accountant refund you," Ye Xingbang said. He and Zhou Heng had hit it off immediately, so he had the authority to handle such a minor matter.

In an open-air cafe by the seaside, Li Wan still wore a cold and aloof expression, like a statue carved from eternal ice, chilling everyone who looked at her.

"Stop spouting nonsense; you will only die in despair. And as for that guy who kicked me when I wasn't looking, I will make sure you die in agonizing pain," Clement stared at Lu Tianyu, smiling with malice.

This familiar voice reached Xu Hai’s ears once more. He looked closely and realized it was the old man who had previously vanished.

Chen Ting proved to be much more reliable than her brothers. Her second brother had had his legs broken here earlier, yet this young woman acted as if she knew nothing, showing no signs of discomfort.

Since it was just a monthly exam, Langya No. 1 High School did not place as much emphasis on it as they did on joint school exams or midterms and finals. The purpose of the monthly exam was likely to gauge the students' current grasp of the material and provide feedback to the teachers.

Once Yu Qing finished cooking, Shen Du was dragged over to "enjoy" the meal. It must be said, compared to the previous few times, Yu Qing's dishes at least looked much better.

Liang Bohong let out a startled cry, then stared into Wei Zhongtang’s eyes and asked, "Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"

Seeing her attitude had improved, I said that since the misunderstanding was cleared up, we could skip the meal; I had things to attend to and would visit her grandfather in a few days.

Who would have thought that this time, the Sableye butler would use the excuse of being a supervisor to refuse to come along, claiming he hadn't yet recovered from the last trip to the Green Apple Forest.

But this was undoubtedly the straw that broke the camel's back; Chu Yingxue stared on with wide eyes.

Abomination slapped Tony away, sending him crashing into a wall... This was the downside of the My-Era-developed armor; some of the finer details were neglected. Consequently, Tony, having never fought a creature of such massive scale, found that his shock-absorption system was not as perfect as the true Mark 4. As the immense force struck, the armor slammed into the wall, and he was stunned on the spot.

After all, he was considered a public figure in the e-sports scene; if such words were overheard by outsiders...

The man began to writhe in agony. People poured water on him, but the flames only burned brighter. Seeing the man about to be burned alive, Xiao Qingzhu was just about to use spirit spring water to extinguish the fire when she suddenly realized that the power dynamics here were intricate and complex; if she were to use the spirit spring water, it might invite unforeseen disasters.

He could understand; after all, he was just an ordinary child without any exceptional talent.

Chu Huan nodded, "Prince, please don't be so formal. Who is this?" This person hadn't even bowed to him, and he had no idea which noble house he belonged to.

Zhang Ren, who appeared relaxed and indifferent on the surface while his heart was racing at 180 beats per minute, was focused intently on the battle ahead when a voice suddenly came from behind, causing him to shudder and break out in a fine sweat.

However, Lingji had no time to apologize to the Buddha for the moment. The great changes in the Journey to the West concerned the entire Buddhist faith, and he could not afford to delay! Bowing slightly, Lingji voiced the deductions he had arrived at through a sudden flash of intuition.

However, the class bell rang, and Ying Xinyan still did not see Dai Xiyan. She lifted her head and scanned the rest of the classroom several times, but he was nowhere to be found. Looking at his empty desk drawer, she realized Dai Xiyan had run off.

Qin Fan did not stand on ceremony. The group boarded Zheng Shusheng’s Jeep Cherokee and drove toward the Zheng family estate.

"Ho ho ho, is that so?" Netero knew Li Zhuoguang wasn't telling the whole truth, and Li Zhuoguang knew he couldn't hide it from Netero, but both men ignored such trivial details.

She finally climbed back up, feeling both ashamed and furious. She first whipped the horse, then acted coyly toward Sun Yuehua.

The "Light and Shadow Piercing the Void" of the Emperor Armor had the support of the Sun Star; as long as they were within the solar system, the summoner could instantly reach anywhere they desired.

Below the cliff, it was said to lead directly to the abyss rift; even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would not dare to descend easily.

Hearing this, Jiang Nanan remained silent, looking at Dao Changsheng with eyes full of guilt.

Today, according to He Qian's original plan, the focus was to remain on investigating the companies controlled by the Zhao, Gao, and Hua families.

With no demon commander, the demon soldiers and the high-level demons around Wilson all charged toward Eli, but aside from adding a new splash of blood to the ground, they accomplished nothing.

Qian Shentong felt a jolt of fear, knowing that if he retreated, he might be expelled from the sect by Qin Fan, so he hurriedly stepped forward and shouted.

Chen Qingxue nodded, thinking that Qin Fan's parents must be extraordinary people, and her admiration for him deepened further.

Nanhua Cheng wanted to strangle the young girl beneath him just to keep his embarrassing situation from spreading.

"Mentally unstable," "send him to an asylum"... He had indeed said such things, but it was just talk; he neither dared nor wished to actually take action.

In such a desolate and remote place, where could one expect to see other living beings? Fairy Tale felt that the uncle was just making excuses to protect her, leaving her alone on the rock.

Xu You commanded one hundred thousand elite troops and held the strategic stronghold of Hulao Pass. If necessary, he could reach the gates of Luoyang in a single day and night of rapid travel, while Luoyang currently had no troops other than five thousand imperial guards and twenty thousand forest guards.

Lin Feng was in such agony over his heartbreak, with no family members around to confide in. Although this Liu Qingyan was not his friend, Lin Feng was in so much pain that he truly wanted to pour out all his bitterness.

Ai Shulan sliced the mooncakes, and Ye Fanxing wrapped them in paper, holding them in her hands as she happily went out.

After staring for a while, Qing Ran couldn't help but wonder if he had offended this young master of the Bai family, or if Bai Yuque had discovered his feelings for Bai Yudie, which made his heart race and a light sweat break out on his forehead.

As the days passed, Zhang Tie sat in the corner of his cell, his mind filled with flashes of images that felt both incredibly familiar and strange.

"Master, if you ask me, you are a respected high monk of Shaolin. These people show you no respect, even claiming they want to search you—they clearly don't hold Shaolin in any regard." Lu Xingrui began to sow discord.

An indescribable divine light blossomed, repelling the dragon claw with a single strike. Immediately, a colossal manifestation of the Dharma appeared in the sky, feet treading on the earth and head touching the blue sky, stretching almost to the edge of the atmosphere.

Seeing the projection of the Great Emperor of the Eight Desolations, even the audacious Nezha bowed with cupped hands, and the Right Prime Minister bowed directly to his knees.
