Volume 1, Chapter 53: Difficulties at the Law Firm

Li Shuhe stood in the lobby of Hong Kong City's renowned law firm, her heart beating like a battle drum.
She wore a well-tailored suit, and her black high heels made crisp sounds against the marble floor.
In about ten seconds, I could no longer see Fang Tang's figure. My field of vision was filled entirely with figures in "red robes and white cowls," leaving no gaps whatsoever to observe anything.
Lu Ziyi, who had been hiding in the room all along, rushed to the window and watched as Chu Jinran, struggling to hold Laola while carrying bags, gradually walked away into the distance. He smashed his fist fiercely onto the windowsill, blood flowing freely.
The location of Chu Yan Studio is situated in Area A on the fifteenth floor of an elegantly landscaped CBD office complex in Jiangchuan City.
Lacking the courage to continue imagining, I forced myself to concentrate, bracing myself as I searched for suspicious traces amidst the darting light and shadows.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. You have a saint here, and since the train just passed through this place, there shouldn't be any danger. Hazardous zones are generally areas the train hasn't traversed yet," Dongfang Baye shook his head.
"How did you manage to find such a wonderful place?" Du Ziyuan had not expected that such a beautiful island would be unclaimed.
As the last member of the Huangshi Sect fell, the villagers of Mo Family Village were astonished to discover that they had actually won the victory.
Quite a number of people came, yet very few actually purchased Magic Energy No. 1—only a few wealthy young scions bought a couple of bottles each.

Xiao Long struggled to crawl out from under the table, then stared speechlessly at Jin Ling'er, who possessed the beauty of an immortal, thinking to himself: Is this girl really that innocent? Just because of a single remark from Daoist Xuanguang, she is willing to marry me?
"Hmph, not a single human being is any good! Today you shall receive the punishment you rightfully deserve, as a way to implore the God of Nature for your forgiveness," Jonas said coldly.
"Bad score, how many bad scores are good," Xueliya said, speaking in pidgin Shanghai dialect, which elicited a wave of laughter.
