Long Xingyu, meanwhile, was taking a certain delight in Bai Yue’s misfortune.
Bai Yue, there is always someone better, and there is always a higher sky.
At last, you are going to get what you deserve!
Unexpectedly, the next second, Long Tianyin’s palm came down on Long Xingyu’s head with a sharp smack.
Unable to restrain himself, Long Tianyin began lecturing his son. “What are you thinking about now, you rascal? Learn from Bai Yue. Just look at how diligently she cultivates, and then look at you!”
Long Xingyu: …
The Arena
Mo Qiongyan clenched her teeth. That bastard Di Yan had done exactly this in her previous life. After snatching the Fire Phoenix and taking her back, he had his way with her that very night.
At this moment, she seemed to understand. Mo Xiuyuan had asked her father to bring Yinuo over so that she could properly get to know Zixi.
Someone shouted, “That’s what happens when you fail to take proper safety precautions.”
Huang Shangkun was growing anxious as well. “You weren’t even there! There were more than a hundred people in the workshop. It didn’t hit you or me—it hit him!”

“Who is it?” the guard suddenly called from outside, followed immediately by a muffled groan.
Zhao Shu instinctively rolled away. At once, the tent flap was thrown aside and a dark figure burst in, a sharp sword stabbing into the spot beside him. In that instant, Zhao Shu caught the cold gleam of the blade and saw the intruder’s face clearly.
It was Zhao Yun.
I steeled myself and stepped inside. The place was empty, devoid of the slightest sign of life. Looking around, I noticed cigarette ash on the table, proof that someone had been there.
Looking at Xiao Qiyue’s beautiful face, he suddenly wanted to laugh, yet he could not manage even a smile. The corners of his eyes grew moist.
The box now held nothing but gold and silver objects of considerable value, though rather vulgar in appearance. They sullied the box. In a fit of anger, Nanny Ji dumped everything out with a clatter, then carried the box herself and placed it inside the chest outside.
She had actually collided with Bei Ming Changfeng’s lips. She had kissed the man. Though it had been accidental and entirely beyond her control, she had truly kissed Bei Ming Changfeng.
A Zhen smiled. His ugly face was bunched up by the grin; without hearing those cheerful words, one might have thought he was threatening someone.
Xuan Yuan Tianyin did not say the rest aloud, but Yan Xingge could not possibly have misunderstood the meaning conveyed by her eyes.
The more Zhao Jing thought about it, the more feasible the idea seemed. And carrying it out did not appear particularly difficult either.
But Sister Hui was different. For all these years, she had struggled and made her way through society, thoroughly familiar with its rules and dangers.
“Yes, yes, of course. That would be wonderful. I’ll trouble you, then.” Han Qiushi accepted the bowl of soup Liu Miao handed over, glanced at her mother, and smiled.

I found several talismans I had drawn a few days earlier at the very back, but as I looked at them, my heart suddenly gave a jolt.
It was obvious that she intended to kill them here and silence them forever. But what exactly was the point of killing them?
“Hey, so you’re allowed to say it, but I’m not?” Zhang Qingling was only grumbling verbally, but in practice he slowed down again and still followed Ranran’s instructions.
He continued to believe that Rao Di was single. He continued to believe that Rao Di was not seeing anyone. He continued to believe that he still had a chance.
Was he deliberately picking a fight? He had only been here for two days and was not even familiar with his own office. How much could he possibly know about our organization? Yet he had come barging in and disrupted our normal work without distinguishing right from wrong. How could a newly arrived supervisor be so prejudiced?
Sigh. There was no point dwelling on it here. Better to think about what to make for dinner.
After some time had passed, she raised her wrist to check the hour, then got up and went into the kitchen. Xiang Chunzao suddenly remembered that she had left the Chinese sausages she had ordered online in the mailroom of the office building because she had departed in such a hurry.
Following Li Kuafu’s gaze, the two of them looked toward the combat simulator. When they saw the data displayed on it, their mouths fell open and their eyes went blank with astonishment.
Qin Zhonghai shouted, “Everyone, split up and move! Go!”
Xiang Tianshou wielded his flying stones and led the way. The scholar in blue knew he was the target of everyone’s hostility, so he avoided a direct confrontation and merely had Xiang Tianshou protect him as they fled toward the edge of the forest.
Several people tried to pursue them, but Qin Zhonghai and Chang blocked their path.
