Chapter 46: Envying Those Welcomed by Fans at the Airport

Is Huo Hongming really not playing hard to get? Just moments ago, all the guests were watching Huo Hongming; now, every gaze is directed at Le Xi. Zhang Qian turned her head aside with a laugh. Gu Xiaomo, noticing this, pretended to hand Zhang Qian a tissue, discreetly pressing her microphone as she did so.
“Qian, here’s a tissue.”
Although Zhang Qian didn’t need it, since someone had noticed, she played along as if she truly did, dabbing at her nose before turning to speak with Gu Xiaomo.
Suddenly, all sound faded away. The world was so silent, one could hear a pin drop. Everyone shivered, as if their blood was turning to ice.
For now, the only certainty was that if nothing was done, nothing would happen. Life beside the Prince passed each day much as the last, with little difference between them.
The General Li spoken of by Xiyun and Cuihen was none other than Li Hui, a current commander of the Shengqi army.
“Xixi, I’ve waited so long for you to act, but you never do, so I just couldn’t hold back anymore!” Yunhe said with a cheerful smile.
“To begin with, the City Kingdom and our Ji Kingdom are technically allies, but Zuo Qiu Liye has been meddling behind the scenes. Even so, I cannot disregard City’s reputation. Now that City’s troops have arrived in Tai Xi, I must give City time to manage its own affairs,” he explained with all the propriety of a ruler.
Guan Yu hurriedly ordered Du Zhongnian at his side to escort Miss Feiyan and her men back to his camp for temporary placement, promising he would join them soon.
Old General Yan stroked his thick silver beard and gently shook his head. “Had you not suffered an arrow wound, you could face him. Two of our generals have already fallen; we must not underestimate this third battle!”
“Alas!” Qin Bo sighed deeply. He slowly made his way to the Ye family’s grand courtyard. I knew he was going to perform some restorative exercises again; all these people, like myself, harbored a smoldering fire within, impatient for release.
Worldly power and riches are mere trifles before absolute strength—child’s play, utterly insignificant! Strength and the pursuit of the Way are our eternal goals.
On the fifteenth night, Yuan Huazhong, ill for many days, was ordered to be moved to the Guan Wang Temple in the prison. That night, he was slain by Qian En, whose blade sliced his throat.
The sound rang straight through the spirit, igniting the blood and war fervor in everyone’s hearts. The crimson battle clouds grew deeper, the blood-red brilliance surged and billowed, burning into a sea of scarlet fire. A banner of blood and flame swept across the skies of the Eastern Continent, surging ever eastward.
Arsenal, though plagued by injuries before the match, remained full of confidence for this round. They had gone eighteen games unbeaten in the league; although their winning streak had just ended, facing the Wolves on the lower end of the table, Arsenal’s certainty was undiminished.
Zhang Kai, though ashamed by what he heard, was also warmed inside. He could feel that Yi Tianhao, though critical, was also concerned for him, which only deepened his sense of embarrassment.
Beast Tevez was injured, and Bundesliga golden boot Dzeko joined Manchester City in the winter transfer window. Yet his form was wavering, and the golden boy Balotelli’s performance was hardly steady; despite their star-studded front line, Manchester City’s attack was riddled with problems.
Certain this was no dream, and with no danger nearby, what else was there to do but gather herbs? These rare medicinal plants were treasures; bringing them out would surely yield unexpected rewards.
Li Yuemei burst into laughter. Though she couldn’t be called a peerless beauty, she was dazzling and alluring enough to make one want to kiss her. Yi Tianhao felt the urge to do just that.
A streak of tragic determination appeared on everyone’s faces. With the allied fleet ahead and blockade behind, a single warship could never prevail.
