Chapter 51: He secretly got a girlfriend behind my back

The Ming Estate.
Ming Zixue swept the cosmetics off her vanity with a crash, startling Ming Mian as he was walking upstairs.
Ming Mian strode to her doorway and asked, "What on earth are you doing?"
With reddened eyes, Ming Zixue choked out, "He went behind my back and found a girlfriend."
"You mean Shen Zhi?" Ming Mian...
Her voice, soft and alluring, fell upon Di Tianli's ears like a curved hook, tugging at the strings of his heart.
The setting sun cast a lingering streak of rosy clouds over the figure and the fox, making the already desolate Heavenly Star appear even lonelier. A quiet, sorrowful, and tender melody from a flute slowly drifted through the sunset, sounding like weeping and yearning, as if recounting a bitter and agonizing past, evoking profound pathos and helplessness.
I still politely addressed him as Director Zhang: "Thank you." The moment I set down my cup, Kong Daoran raised his glass to toast me again. I respectfully replied, "I will drink to your health."
However, how could Muyun possibly have the time to deal with that fellow Zhen Yaozu? The most urgent task was to destroy the root cause of these walking corpses—namely, the Undead Earth-Revolving Eight Trigrams Formation.
Since Di Tianli had stated he did not want to eat, Ye Qinglan did not ask further. She ate her meal heartily while Di Tianli simply watched her in quiet silence.
"Bastard, how dare you raise a hand against me!" Banyun flew into a rage, beginning to twist his body frantically. He wanted to break free from Jiang Yi's restraint, yet he was terrified of plummeting into the depths of the courtyard abyss and leaving no bones behind. Caught in a dilemma between advancing and retreating, he had no choice but to launch a fresh round of verbal assaults on Jiang Yi.
That was the voice of the Sword Saint Dugu. Everyone simultaneously cast their gazes toward him, and in an instant, all the focus converged upon him alone.
Knocked backward against the vanity on the side, Jiang Nan collided with it somewhat ungracefully, and one could easily imagine how painful the impact must have been.
What was even more devastating was that her mother came over in the afternoon, casually bringing her two mobile phones—one for her and one for Ye Chu. Leaving behind the ultimatum that her wedding date with her father had already been set for the sixth of next month, she promptly left.
A moment later, the fluctuations of spiritual energy dissipated, and a wisp of thin mist scattered along with it. Looking ahead, Muyun's jaw genuinely dropped almost to the point of dislocating.
The water sources of all the villagers had already been confiscated by Qiu Xing's troops, but after a careful tally, Qiu Xing was driven to despair upon discovering that this water was utterly insufficient to supply even a single meal for tens of thousands of soldiers.
Mo Qi was momentarily taken aback, finding it difficult to answer. One could never be certain without having seen everyone—take Chen Guanglin, for instance, whose fame was not particularly grand and who often hid behind the scenes, yet when the Magic Star Shining competition arrived, his technique was no whit inferior to anyone else's.
"Humans are also a part of nature. Besides, humans are not the only ones who know how to brew wine," Ye Mo smiled slightly.
However, the ordinary soldiers were far too silent. Deprived of proper rest and living in constant fear while knowing they were carrying out a vital mission, their pressure was immense, resulting in very mediocre performance.
Seeing Yuan Tianjiao strike that posture and hearing Su Hanran's warning, Qin Di knew that Yuan Tianjiao was about to unleash a supreme ultimate move. Thinking to himself, *If you possess the Void-Splitting Palm force, could it be that I do not?*, he immediately gathered his focus, held his breath, and channeled his strength into both palms.
"Let everyone deliberate and come up with a proposal, and then submit it to me," Xiao Mo said. His emotions were somewhat too agitated today, making it inappropriate for him to put forward his own ideas. In truth, which of those ministers and officials was not similarly agitated? It was simply that they were able to forcefully suppress their personal thoughts, which was why Xiao Mo left the matter for them to discuss.
Ye Shaobai was undoubtedly the most heaven-defying genius he had encountered since coming to the Heavenly Realm. The growth rate of this person was in no way inferior to his own, and furthermore, even after suffering consecutive defeats, he was capable of staging a comeback. Such a figure was truly terrifying.
Upon hearing Xiao Mo's words, the military generals in the grand hall nodded slightly. In this manner, the hierarchy within the military was clearly delineated, titles tended toward uniformity, and the transmission of military orders became vastly more convenient.
