Volume 1, Chapter 40: Su Tingwan, how could you be so shameless?!

In truth, Paul understood that someone as exceptional as Ghost would naturally choose to hide their brilliance under such a dazzling spotlight. Concealing oneself from the eyes of outsiders is exactly what a peerless master should do, and Ghost was naturally the type of person who cherished their own reputation.

"If you have something to say, just say it. I prefer directness; there is no need to beat around the bush. You are all far more cultivated than I am, so there is no need to worry about me running away." Old Seven looked icy, seemingly very unfriendly toward Du Fang.

Countless clouds of smoke completely enveloped the open ground, leaving Li Yun in a state of bewilderment amidst the haze.

Nara-i fell silent. She did not know what Li Yun was thinking, but she felt it might not be a good choice.

Contrary to Hinata Rou's expectations, Li Yun actually smiled and pointed at his empty left hand.

Having received the money and consumed the wine, the Cao army soldiers became even more lax, abandoning their vigilance entirely.

Suddenly, Han Mengxin threw down the precious sword in her hand, squatted on the ground, and began to wail.

A sense of mortal crisis emerged in everyone's hearts. If the inner disciples felt this way, the fear within the hearts of the heavenly disciples could be imagined. They wanted to activate their teleportation tokens, but they were unwilling to give up. Moreover, they no longer had the chance.

In Yuan Shao's mansion, bright lanterns hung high, the air was thick with the scent of alcohol, and the atmosphere was exceptionally lively as a grand banquet was underway.

The strategist turned and said, "Would you like a drink?" He then slid a bottle of foreign liquor and two glasses across the table.

Just as the "old man" of Heian-kyo reminisced about the past once more, an equally important conversation was taking place in Tianyu Capital.

The high heels were specifically matched by Tang Zheng for the staff uniforms; only when the two were combined could the intended effect be seen.

However, surprise was just surprise. Su Lie always strictly demanded of himself that he never let anything disturb his focus. Thus, even though he had a hundred thousand questions in his mind when he saw Ye Fan rushing toward him, he could only suppress them one by one, holding his blade in a reverse grip and thrusting fiercely at the menacing Ye Fan.

"Who says I have no confidence? It’s just a prince; I’ll make him pay sooner or later!" Nangong Jing roared.

When Yue Sheng stepped over the threshold of the third courtyard, a hunchbacked old man suddenly appeared before him. The stench emanating from his rotting teeth made him frown involuntarily.

"Then I will be straightforward: regarding the naming rights this time, does Manager Wu have any special instructions?" Ye Fan asked.

Pingcheng Commandery, not far from Yunzhong, had only seventeen cities and a population of less than three hundred thousand.

Though she had only recently arrived in Fengxian, she knew that the Ye family was a prominent figure throughout Jinzhou. Although she did not recognize Ye Di, the presence of someone from the Ye family here might represent some kind of signal.

"Alright, then pack up everything, and when you're done, we'll leave," Chu Yechen said in a low voice. Su Nianqing nodded and returned to her room, her gaze lingering on the empty house.

Considering their weak foundations, the intensity of their daily training was naturally far behind Tang Zheng's.

In any case, within this world, Riser, as a Phoenix, possessed extremely powerful regenerative abilities. It was precisely because of this characteristic that the "Tears of the Phoenix" of the Phoenix family were known as the strongest restorative item, a treasure worth more than gold.

Right now, Xiao Feng was considering not winning the third game, otherwise, a 3-0 score might cause the Cavaliers to collapse, and the series would not return to Los Angeles.

But the realization came too late. Their formation was already broken and scattered, disconnected from front to back, unable to form a unified force. The "Tianjin" first crippled two Russian ships, then accelerated to catch up to the cruisers ahead. Acting like a lone warrior against a thousand, it fired its cannons in a fierce, alternating barrage, blasting them one by one until they were dead in the water, firmly controlling their path.

"Heh, if it were anyone else, my fellow disciple and I wouldn't dare risk offending Master Lei to do this. But Junior Brother Bai has just performed a great service for our sect; Master Lei might just show some leniency." The two Tianji Mountain disciples exchanged glances, and one of them immediately replied with a smile.

"No wonder you're called a super-strong newcomer! You're really amazing, amazing, amazing!" Corni watched Wang Dong with glowing eyes; she had never imagined that such an order could be given.

This vicious cycle continued until there was nothing left to plunder. It lasted until the peasants, unable to survive, rose up in rebellion.

Under the watchful eyes of the masses, Yang Hao's "Weiyuan" departed with pride and fearlessness, its first stop being the administrative and military command center occupied by Vietnam in the Nansha Islands—Hongxiu Island.

Uchiha Madara did not panic. Susanoo appeared once more, its massive skeletal frame instantly wrapping around his body.

Fortunately, those attending the banquet this time were not ordinary people. Everyone used magic to isolate the excessive light and continued to watch the changes on the stage.

"What? Even this cannot be detected? Perhaps Uncle-Master should try another method!" Although Liu Ming had regained his freedom and the pain in his body had vanished without a trace, his heart turned cold upon hearing this.

Sometimes, if that red dot remained still as if asleep, he would keep his eyes open until dawn. Only when the red dot began to move again after daybreak would he feel at ease.
