069 Unwilling to Reveal His Name
All at once, expectations soared to their peak—not so much anticipation as a readiness to unleash criticism.
[One has to admit they really have unlocked the secret to going viral.]
[Jiang Zeyu: My brother isn’t here, but his legend is everywhere.]
[I’m honestly speechless at the producers. Having Qu Wan play Jiang Zeyu’s role is just asking for backlash. First, gender-swapping is a lightning rod for criticism, and now they’re throwing in a hint of a girl-on-girl dynamic—it’s sickening just to think about.]
[There’s no way I believe Qu Wan drew that card herself. The producers will do anything for attention. Is this fair to the others?]
[There has to be something shady going on. Out of more than twenty cards, she just happens to draw Jiang Zeyu? No way.]
[I’ve got my keyboard ready. Next episode, I’m watching Qu Wan like a hawk—I’m ready to roast her.]
“A challenge, bro? What challenge? This is my first time here!” Zixiang was utterly baffled. Why would entering the tower require a test? What kind of rule was this?
“Then who are you?” Nie Wanluo was truly stunned now. If this person wasn’t Lady Qin, then who could she possibly be?
Gao Xianzhi led the imperial cavalry of the Celestial Empire, and with the help of the pilgrims and their disciples, advanced all the way to the outskirts of Xiuxun Prefecture. General Mosanke, the Arab commander defending the city, saw the Tang army pursuing them right up to the walls and led his White-robed Legion out to meet them in battle.
“What?” Qiao Neng’s brows knitted together. He immediately felt that he had spoiled Nie Wanluo lately, emboldening her to say whatever she pleased.
The master’s disciples, relying on their skills and the cover of night, slipped into the city and gathered the people for protection. Then, they dashed off toward the four gates and quietly unbarred them. Grand Marshal Zuo Di, seizing the opportunity, led his entire army in a charge, storming into Liangzhou City.
If Peng Yulin really had something urgent to report and he didn’t deliver it to Zeng Guofan in time, what if something went wrong as a result?
No longer paying attention to Zhuang Jian, who was now frantically absorbing the sacred spring’s energy after his breakthrough, Xia Yan and the others resumed their discussion on how to take Huyan Manor by force with the least possible cost.
Wang Jingqi hurried in, set down a stool, then left, returning shortly with a tray of tea.
Tusou instantly realized things had taken a turn for the worse and tried to leave, but the door he’d entered through was nowhere to be found.
“How many floors, sir?” the attendant asked respectfully, addressing the two of them. On this luxurious cruise ship, there were elevator operators assigned to each lift—now a common sight.
In the dead of night, as I tried to sleep, I still couldn’t shake my worries. When I got up for the bathroom in the middle of the night, I took the opportunity to feel Xueqi’s forehead. To my delight, I found it beaded with sweat, and the fever had subsided.
They heard a heavy thud as Xu Jiao crashed to the ground. Only then did the screams and cries start up—the very sounds I’d heard from my own room. What happened next matched exactly what I’d seen: I finally understood why Xu Jiao’s body and head were twisted at such a strange angle.
“Clearly, this isn’t just about the scandal sparked by the magazine. Obviously, someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes.”
“Qin Feng, this doesn’t count! The boss set me up with this. Wait a sec, let me freeze myself, then I’ll take two more of your moves!” Lei Yan said, puffing his cheeks and preparing to freeze himself again.
The key point was, Fourth Master, perhaps intentionally, had let slip that besides being a doctor, Erxu’s true skill was his tattoo artistry. What hot-blooded teenager didn’t dream of a bold, striking tattoo? As a result, these days, everyone was going out of their way to curry favor with Erxu.
The changing room wasn’t far. Weiwei chatted as she supported Jinnian, and soon they arrived.
Watching Jiaqi grow day by day, I always felt I was growing alongside her, as if my life were being lived anew.
But now, having had my thoughts seen through by Yuezi and opening up my heart, I felt an indescribable sense of relief.
He hadn’t meant to set up Niu Suqin, but all his resentment toward Ma Sanpao ended up being vented on her instead.
“This person is at least a fifth-level Fragmented Core expert,” Yang Tian silently surmised. If it were just an ordinary expert at the Fragmented Core stage, he might feel some pressure, but not such overwhelming force.
