Volume 1, Chapter 46: The Jiang Sisters Driven Out of the Banquet Hall
(1/3)
Those who had been paying attention here suddenly fell completely silent.
Aside from a small number of people who didn't immediately react to who "Su Qiuyu" was and only found the name vaguely familiar, the rest who knew her froze completely for a moment, unsure of what expression to wear.
This—wasn't this someone who had been dead for four years?
Moreover...
Although no one knew what exactly had happened back then, everyone knew that this name was a thorn in the hearts of both Liu Guanqi and Gu Moting...
Liu Guanqi's expression was exceptionally grim, his brow and eyes as cold as frosty blades.
Gu Moting, the other party involved who had been inexplicably dragged into this, didn't even lift an eyelid, continuing to smoke and look at his phone.
As for Zhu Li, who had been directly called out...
Hong Kong, Asia Satellite. What amazed the researchers of the original satellite design institute the most was that Mr. Li from China could actually install a satellite in person. Furthermore, unlike other satellite companies, there were quite a few intelligent robotic arms working alongside the engineers to install the satellite here.
With a shrill scream ringing out, the scramble for equipment came to an end. Only two thieves remained alive, guarding against each other. The others had either left quickly after succeeding or been taken down by someone else, sent back to the starting city free of charge.
"Hehe... When we get to City T, we'll go bother them and see how they spend their world for two." Lele said with a smile.
Lu Lin greeted his neighbors as he ran. Having lived here for so many years, even though he didn't know them personally, their faces were all very familiar to him.
As soon as these words were spoken, someone commented: Right, no timer bomb, but does that mean there's a wiretap?
By the time Zhang Lingfu fought a retreating battle and reached the vicinity of Huamen, his two divisions, which had originally numbered over ten thousand troops, had dwindled to fewer than three thousand men upon regrouping, though the casualties from the earlier fierce battles with the Japanese army were quite heavy!
After saying that, Guo Yi entered his room and casually closed the door. By this time, his clothes were already dry, but he still felt somewhat uncomfortable. He took off his clothes, took another shower, and changed into his own pajamas. He didn't usually have the habit of wearing pajamas, but when traveling away from home, wearing them gave him peace of mind.
"You..." Although he knew the team couldn't possibly stay united, they truly hadn't expected that just as things started, internal strife would break out right in their own rear.
Guo Yi looked over and saw a lean old man looking at him with a smile. Believe it or not, it was actually the kind, benevolent sort of look. Guo Yi hurriedly stopped jumping around and trotted over to the old man. Because he was a bit nervous, he even stumbled slightly.

"Of course I know that." Regarding this point, Meng Que naturally couldn't play dumb. After all, the fact that these two fellows could find this place meant they had seen him earlier this afternoon.
"To be honest, you're actually very lucky!" Xiong Shan suddenly turned around, staring straight into Liu Ye's eyes.
"Didn't I already tell you? I'm here to collect a debt from you on behalf of my sworn sister." The big gorilla said expressionlessly.
At that time, Luo Shuiyi had not long arrived in this era. Fearing that she might forget her past life if she stayed here too long, she constantly forced herself to recall her previous life, dragging Hua Lingyu and Shen Yifeng into her torment along the way.
She procured a cracked, broken pot, lining the bottom with roof tiles, rags, and other such items. These things could be found everywhere in Haiwei City and were not hard to come by.
Coming empty-handed and leaving empty-handed, no matter where she went, she realized she had never carried away a single cloud, for she was a drifting soul without leaves or roots, unable to bear the weight of a cloud.
Just as the two wretched men finally couldn't help but make a move on Su Yajun, Luo Shuiyi gave a light cough and stopped them.
The celebratory banquet held inside the palace that evening was a great success, and the entire event proceeded in an enthusiastic atmosphere.
Not far from her side, a young man watched while clapping his hands, occasionally uttering words of praise.
Yuyang feigned displeasure and glared at Yun Feng, but then immediately shifted her gaze to Gongsun Fan.
Wei Xuewei almost laughed out loud, and turning to see Lady Wei gently shaking her head at her, she instantly understood.
Driven by curiosity, Li Jiu read through it carefully once more, marveling at the work, and didn't fall asleep until the small hours of the night.
With a powerful memory and astonishing comprehension, aside from his lazy streak, Shi Mu found teaching him a very fulfilling experience.
The token given by Dugu Bai was one that could record conversations; one simply needed to infuse it with spiritual power to turn it on or off at any time.
Under the devouring of the blazing flames across the sky, the black smoke made a sizzling burning sound, then tumbled to the ground and transformed back into the King of Dongli.
Yet worn on Yuanluo's body, it possessed an indescribable harmony, as if only such supreme and luxurious adornment could match the innate nobility she inadvertently displayed, and match her identity as a monarch.
Taking down a Heaven-grade One-Star expert in six seconds caused all the mecha experts waiting in the queue to back away. No one wanted to go up and throw their lives away. If the gap was limited, they could still put up a fight, but when the gap was this massive and going up meant certain death, no one had any desire to participate in such mecha combat.

Being stared at by so many Qingming Ascetics simultaneously, even an arrogant youth could not help breaking out in a cold sweat.
In an instant, a formidable surge of bloodline power burst forth, enveloping Mu Yuan in a massive, intensely blazing golden radiance.
However, this joy lasted only for a moment before turning into unease: Will Lord Sun's trip go smoothly? Will Madam Cui make things difficult for him? And what will my cousin's reaction be?
Its function was primarily to accelerate the absorption of spiritual energy, with the spiritual energy density on each floor being several times or even dozens of times that of the outside world.
Unfortunately, Su Man's attention was entirely focused on the clothes, and not a single word of Gu Wan's reached her ears.
After chattering away for a long time without coming to a single useful conclusion, Xing Shijie was simply left speechless. She wasn't afraid of god-like opponents, but rather of teammates dumber than pigs.
"Don't you dare laugh!" Ouyang Jue glared at her reproachfully before raising an arm to pull her into his embrace.
"You know yourself that your grades are good and you look quite pretty. So you'll definitely meet someone better. Bye-bye." With those words, Xiachuan Heyou walked back to the classroom.
Standing beside her was Hiiro Tatsuya, who had come along with her. Since there was nothing for Hiiro Tatsuya to do at the café, he simply accompanied Fujiwara Rei outside.
This person had a tall and sturdy build, dressed in deep brown nomadic martial attire, with his unbound long hair casually tied at the center with a gold-threaded ribbon.
Cha Jingjing let Su Xialuo be and curled up on the sofa to catch another nap. Just as she was dozing off, the doorbell rang. Muttering a low curse, she went to open the door. "Ji Rui?" Seeing him was somewhat expected, yet still a bit surprising.
Qi Moyan put down the memorial in his hand and walked over, gazing tenderly at Shen Zui, who sat on the bed looking bewildered.
Su Ruan's eyes were moist and pitiful, making Shen Zui忍不住 (could not help but) sit a little closer.
"These few stones of yours are worth five million; are you really going to give them to us?" Yue Mei'er looked at Long Xiang in utter astonishment. Long Xiang had always given her the impression of being tight-fisted, yet this time he was acting so generously, which naturally surprised her.
