Volume 1, Chapter 33: Untainted by the Mire

"What is going on here?" With too many people crowding around, the manager was summoned by other staff members and began scolding them as soon as he arrived.

"Yuetang, did you grind this almond powder?" After inspecting the ingredients, my father flew into a rage and glared at Yuetang.

The director spent the entire morning speaking with the homeroom teachers of those three classes, then called our class in and asked a barrage of questions. In the end, he kept me and Sang Zhan, while everyone else returned to their classrooms. The other two classes only kept their respective student council representatives.

"Another junior brother? Haijia!" Wang Nuo turned his head immediately, locking his gaze onto Zhou Minghai.

On the other hand, thinking about it from a different perspective, this was a good thing; at the very least, my family would no longer be under threat from Pan Quangui.

"Why did you lie to me? I have no grudge against you—what kind of conspiracy are you plotting by going to such great lengths?!" I demanded furiously.

However, before she had even run two steps, Bai Yan grabbed her abruptly and pulled her tightly into his embrace.

"Even if the interbank lending rate is negative, one must consider the currency value adjustment after the currency conversion; the currency value will smooth out this exposure," Meng Han remarked.

Shangguan Luoying opened her eyes, squinting slightly as she scrutinized the person who had entered, a flash of keen insight passing through her eyes.

Though Qingge was somewhat bewildered, seeing Hua Xuanji in such distress, she hurriedly handed the steamed bun to her.

Looking at the completed form, Yang Bian was speechless. But then he thought, forget it; a mistake is a mistake. It was only a codename anyway, so it wouldn't have much of an impact.

Ni Duoshi steadied his stance and held the giant water vat firmly with his Tiangang Great Hands. He waded into the pool, lifted a full vat of water, and after catching his breath for a moment, bent his legs and propelled himself upward toward the top of the cave. While his movement hadn't been very steady on the way down, it wasn't too difficult, but carrying such a large vat while climbing upward proved quite strenuous.

Satan gazed into the distance at the faint, light-blue phantom. He remembered that Ling was a treasure of the Evil God.

However, his treatment was absolutely different from Wan Xuefeng's. Even though Zhuang Hai's cultivation had been crippled, his expertise was in intelligence. Having lost his combat ability, he still had the capital to remain by Jiang Qiubai's side, which is why he was much more composed.

Tian Xin was terrified. She naturally knew that Su Yang could never do such a thing, and not understanding what had happened, all she could do was resist with all her might.

That indescribable composure and an undeniable aura emanated from him unconsciously. As a breeze blew, it seemed as if the moonlight of the world had quietly gathered around him.

If it were a toroidal space system with bizarre spatial configurations and chaotic gravity, then it would be perfectly reasonable that they hadn't seen any other temples.

Before the leader of the ten-man squad could finish speaking, the leader of the West Group, Xi Hu, had already been holding an empty pot in anger for quite some time.

Those three simple words contained immense hatred, and the overwhelming unwillingness in his heart flowed out along with the blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Just the two of you?" Guo Nianfei looked at An'an with a teasing expression. An'an was dressed in a grey tracksuit, yet it highlighted her perfect physique flawlessly.

"Then who are you?" Nie Wanluo was truly bewildered now. If this person wasn't Madam Qin, then who could it be?

Zhuang Jian naturally knew that Huo Yuqi was sensing him, but unfortunately, he knew very little about spiritual arrays at that moment. His only knowledge came from a book on spiritual array laws he had received from Silin, which covered the most basic principles—far too elementary for someone like Zhuang Jian.

In the end, the Green Turtle Great Sage learned a profound lesson from his momentary negligence. From then on, he genuinely repented, served Grand Marshal Yang Zhilie wholeheartedly, achieved countless military exploits, and attained true enlightenment. He became a generation of Green-Armored Immortals in the Celestial Realm who made significant contributions and was deeply appreciated and trusted by the Jade Emperor.

The next day, Zeng Guofan and Liu Changyou were accompanying Zuo Zongtang for breakfast when an orderly led a man who looked like a servant into the dining hall in a great hurry.

The door to the Elf Interrogation Room slowly closed behind Dean. Dean did not see the meaningful look in Ash's eyes the moment the door shut.

However, after what had just happened, Lin Peng no longer had the heart to look at the scenery. He wandered around the top of the tower, bored and aimlessly looking around.

"What's the situation?" the doctor asked Revolver. "She drank nearly two bottles of sleeping pills and also took a bullet to the stomach," Revolver said anxiously.

In other words, the war between Liang and Parthia was not actually a struggle for territory, but a trade war, much like the Opium War. But Liu Fan was not afraid. Parthia was not the British Empire, and his Liang was not the Qing Dynasty.

On the other hand, Tusu, like Lin Peng, had arrived at Mount Longhu and begun his journey of cultivation.

That parent probably never expected Qi Zhixi to have such a side, and was momentarily stunned.

The Tailong Bill Exchange, having monopolized all the market share in Dinghai, would in time surely become the largest bill exchange in the Great Chang.

Kong Yixian turned her head, wanting to bite him, but he dodged. She then grabbed his lapels, forcing him to bend down and meet her gaze.

Serving on duty in space was a boring affair. The first time one left the home planet and witnessed the vast, silent beauty of space, it was breathtaking; however, after staying in space for a long time, even with a space fortress simulating everything from the surface, a male insect with immense mental power would still feel lonely.
