Chapter 10

Seeing that their employer was Lin Dong, all five youths wore expressions of joy. They never expected to be bodyguards for Lin Dong, which came as a huge and pleasant surprise.

What of the teachings of the Confucians? What of the words of Confucius, Dong Zhongshu, and Ban Gu? Nowadays, locusts and mosquitoes hold the same status—they are both pests that bring harm. How on earth do you have the audacity to call them divine insects?

Can I sing a song now to relax myself? I am afraid that by then I won't even have the chance to sing, and can only listen to a song of sorrow.

Zhao Qian had already been vague about it, and seeing as she didn't wish to ask further at this moment, she could easily guess that what he meant was simply having her luggage sent back to the hotel.

Therefore, Hu Zhiyuan and Hu Xinyao did not harbor overly high hopes either; they simply wanted to hear the performance interpreted by the original creator.

After eating a bowl of rice, their stomachs finally felt a little more comfortable. Both of them stopped and waited to continue with the rest of the meal.

This person still hadn't concealed himself well enough. Clearly adopting a friendly attitude, the fierce flash of sharpness in the depths of his eyes as he turned away after speaking left Lieyan full of doubts.

Although many factions now had their eyes focused on him, as the former crown prince of Baiyue, he still possessed his own pride and showed no signs of cowardice despite being targeted by these forces.

Just the day before, he had been discussing with his father-in-law how to weaken the powerful aristocratic families. Taking advantage of the Taiyuan Wang clan's currently low reputation, they had intended to strike with the momentum of a tiger descending a mountain, anticipating various potential crises, yet they never expected that at this most crucial juncture, His Majesty would fall ill.

Lieyan's brow twitched violently. She could roughly catch the general meaning of the clamor and angry shouts coming from all directions; most of them were voices condemning her. It was rare to hear one or two people defend her a few words, only for them to immediately be treated as public enemies by the other students and subjected to vicious criticism.

"What are you laughing at, dammit!" Xiong Qi glared with both eyes, grabbing Damocles and flying backward as he retreated. He had no desire to keep company with heat waves approaching ten thousand degrees. Although the energy shield supported around Xiong Qi's body at that moment could block the toxic gases blown over by the scorching storm, it could not make him turn a blind eye to the heat of nearly ten thousand degrees.

The training time was only two to three weeks, and coupled with the fact that Wang Kai still had to participate in the Four-School League, time was tight, leaving very little preparation time. Thus, they intended to use this motley crew of a combination to defeat the Tyrant Emperor Team.

Yuzhu and Chonglou looked at each other, and with a trace of reluctance, they had no choice but to agree and withdraw.

The ultimate ability had a cooldown of only two seconds. After two consecutive lunges, Wang Kai directly transformed back into human form. Landing a spear on the Rek'Sai, he transformed once more and lunged straight onto the Rek'Sai's body.

Night Qingcheng no longer felt the sense of awkwardness she had before, because having been called that a few times already, her adaptability had naturally kicked in, and she had grown accustomed to it.

Mu Qianxun didn't have the luxury of noticing whether Qian Ning was acting unusual. Turning her head, she saw Mu Youchen resting his head on one hand, looking at her with a light smile.

At the head of the group was a cold yet handsome youth. His gaze swept over Tianxuan and the others, and with a slight nod, he said nothing more.

It had taken him less than two years to rise from a squad leader to a deputy platoon leader, and he had just been promoted to company commander less than two months ago. During his time in the company, whenever the soldiers mentioned him, they would all give him a thumbs-up. He participated in every single type of training project, and whenever he took part in the regimental competitions, no matter the subject, first place always belonged to him.

One had to admit that the Japanese soldier's swordsmanship was truly admirable. Under the siege of more than ten people, he was actually still able to launch counterattacks and protect himself exceptionally well, to the point that even Fang Jie's steel needles could no longer pose much of a threat to him.

It was evident that the fellow had some solid foundations in swordsmanship, and his attire also indicated that his military rank was not low. Judging him to be a high-ranking officer, Regiment Commander Wang picked up a saber from the ground and went to meet him in combat.

Fortunately, before he even had a moment to ponder or feel a pang of heartache, he caught sight of a figure lying on a bed not far away—it was none other than Xie Yingying.

Following Fang Hu's subconscious movement of raising his eyebrow, Wu Qianxin finally lost all hope. No matter what, she had to admit that her eight years of deep affection had indeed been fed to the dogs.

However, in Huogen's eyes and Heiteng's understanding, the two of them were searching for each other's flaws. Once a vulnerability was seen through, the ensuing match would conclude within five minutes.

Clearly right before their eyes, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were nevertheless completely unable to capture the slightest trace of Chu Mu's aura any longer.

Zhao Fu had merely spent the silver coins he was holding, leaving eighteen gold coins untouched. Moreover, in order to acquire that golden soul bead, Zhao Fu had even brought along that cultivation manual just in case he didn't have enough money.

Seeing that Murong Shang was still about to refuse, Yang Shang simply waved a hand to cut off her words. "It's settled then, say no more." Yang Shang hadn't overthought things as much as Murong Shang.

Zhao Fu nodded and, wasting no time, immediately led his men in pursuit. Since they were now fully prepared to attack Peach Blossom Village, they had no scruples left whatsoever.

The largest white-furred ape let out an angry roar and charged toward Zhao Fu with a ferocious and formidable momentum.

If it hasn't been extinguished, we might as well continue searching here for the Scroll of Mountains and Rivers that we need.

Lin Jin's meaning was very simple: both you and I know this thing is a scam, care to have a chat with me?

Whether the horned snake did it intentionally or not, its journey deliberately picked out the most rugged terrains, strewn with countless fragments of rock and leaving behind endless scales.

"Can we force our way in? Just give me five more seconds at most, and I can crack the injection, then you can come in." He Chen looked at Lao Hei, pondering a viable method.

After a fierce engagement, the team that had encountered Kongbai and the others was beaten to a state of complete helplessness, with Alice and Yoyo charging forward in what was practically a steamrolling offensive.

Xu Bao understood that at this moment, the enemy was strong while he was weak, and he could only fight his way out first. He also knew that this situation was the result of his own momentary miscalculation.

If you fail to gauge the distance properly when hugging the edge of the blue zone, causing you to take damage from the poison closing in behind you, and coincidentally an enemy discovers you, you will be at a disadvantage in a fight due to your low health.

On the outskirts of the Xiawen Mountains, in a jungle fifty miles away from Songshan Town, a figure in black robes sat cross-legged beneath an ancient tree. Beneath the spot where his body rested was a circular magical array.

"Were you the strongest person in your former unit?" Huoshi Yun asked directly, while taking Long Meixin to change her clothes.
