Perhaps the stunned, bewildered expression on his face was too obvious, for the Prime Minister kindly presented a scroll of the imperial edict, handing it to Shen Tianqing with utmost respect.

Regarding this matter, Li Chunfeng did not pay much attention. He assumed someone was digging a cellar or laying a foundation, thus causing so much earth to be moved—he never imagined these were the schemes of those scoundrels.

Upon hearing this, the three of them chuckled softly. Though they did not claim to be virtuous, they had never committed heinous acts and had done many chivalrous deeds; they were hardly villains.

“Loving you makes my heart race, yet you are hard to reach; drawing you is impossible, for I cannot sketch your very bones; remembering your complexion is my persistence in waiting for you; my heart is willing to sacrifice everything for you...” Her cherry lips parted slightly, and until the last syllable, everyone was immersed in the moment.

Zi Han could not hide inside the carriage; hearing the clash of weapons outside, she quietly slipped down and concealed herself in the bushes. She understood all too well that staying in the carriage would mean capture. Weak as she was now, venturing out would only hinder matters—so hiding here was safest.

“But Gu Ding is my son too; shouldn’t I trust him?” Aivis retorted.

Seeing this, Luo Shuiyi quietly exhaled with relief in her heart. Susu’s self-healing ability was indeed remarkable.

Upon hearing Su Yef’s words, Dai Wenna knew she could not force the matter. Being intimately familiar with the old man’s character, she understood that though Su Yef liked her deeply, he would never break the principles he had steadfastly upheld for her sake.

“How’s it going? Can’t handle it? Then retreat for now. When you fall back, you won’t feel this pressure.” Standing in the doorway of the medicinal pool room, Duan Ke spoke gently to He Hong, who was crawling on the ground, though beneath the gentleness lay a deep disdain.

The old mage Steve had been living quite comfortably lately. Though he still conducted magical experiments, he was no longer as frenzied as before; occasionally, he meditated to enhance his magical power. This directly caused a sharp decline in explosions at the Duke’s mansion.

With no chance for mitigation, a tremendous boom erupted as a vast shadow shattered, enveloping the surroundings in swirling dust.

“Have you read the doctors’ testimonies?” Ma Siming asked. Gu Weilin shook his head, indicating he had not.

“Why do I feel like you’re distracted? Is it because of what happened with Director Sun today?” Xiao Xiao looked at Gu Weilin. It was rare for him to invite her out to eat, so she naturally did not want to be disturbed by other matters.

After the millennium war, the two ancient saints Yin Litian and Yang Fengzhuo, unwilling to let their descendants suffer the ravages of war, spent a hundred days using supreme magic combined with the Yin Ming Pearl and Yang Ming Pearl, two sacred artifacts, to seal this mountain midair. Since then, the dual saints have gathered disciples here, giving rise to the Yin and Yang dual sects in later generations.

Qin Zheng stared in surprise at Li Yu and Lü Zheng, thinking to himself that they had clearly plotted and framed someone, yet now they sought to excuse themselves with a few words. A complex mix of emotions swirled within him.

Fine, it’s decided then. It’s just plunder points. If necessary, I’ll work harder to earn them later.

“I have a token. It should verify my identity.” Saying this, he produced the token Tang Yi had left behind.

I feel my whole body filled with power. Trying it out, I found that not only can I cultivate now, but I also possess strength comparable to a deity.

Sun Jincheng and Yang Huaide have each come to see Gu Weilin. Gu Weilin only suffered superficial injuries and was simply treated at the infirmary with no serious issues.

Such secretive movements naturally aroused suspicion, so Cai Die continued to follow. After all, it was her master who was going out at this moment.

“It truly is beautiful. Those who do not understand, or cannot appreciate it, really cannot sculpt it.” Xuan Che also approached, holding it in his hands for a careful look.

I was not surprised at all. Perhaps everyone I like also has someone they like. Whether in dreams or reality, I have grown accustomed to it.

“Old Gao, you lied to me! How is this the Sixth Heaven?” The old man’s expression twisted in fury. Seeing Qian Xing approaching again, he fought back fiercely.

“Just right, just right—exciting but not exhausting.” His gaze softened considerably, his smile became natural, and his tone relaxed.

Hu Ye never wrongs his friends. Not only did he offer Zhao Ou a high salary, but he also promised Zhao Ou could use company funds to purchase any equipment he needed.

I felt awkward, but the square soon became lively again, distracting me from my embarrassment. The dozens of minions of the Demon Emperor, originally escorting the High Priest and his group, were now all gathered below the square, shouting loudly in chaos.

If Liu Mingyue had persuaded her to go, she might have refused. But since Liu Mingyue did not want her to go, why would she comply?

The night market was just as it had been years ago, filled with local specialties. Zeng Bingbing carefully selected several items, prices comparable to those back home. She happily munched on squid slices as she walked, while Huo Jingran watched over her to prevent her from bumping into anyone and distractedly fed her double-skin milk pudding.

The carriage swayed along the street, heading toward the most sacred and inviolable place in Chu State—the Xiangbei Prince’s Mansion.

Since she had talent in this area and had a venerable figure like Doctor Mao to guide her, she ought to have become an outstanding traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.

Ordering the warriors to retreat and disperse to avoid the enemy’s relentless bombardment, preserving their remaining strength.

Yue Lianshuang was not afraid of Zhuge Yan escaping. Without her protection, Zhuge Yan had no way out but death.

Su Yang’s shoes were already on. Hearing Su Xingtong say she came to see her, she raised her head.

Since the emergence of this mathematical problem, countless mathematicians have tried to solve it but all failed.

After some thought, she took out Xu Xinxin’s test paper from yesterday’s exam and began grading it.
