Volume 1, Chapter 40: The Filially Blind Workhorse Eldest Brother in an Ancient Imperial Examination Novel 20

Liu Hongmei and her party hurried along, finally arriving at the Lu residence by dusk.

As they approached the main gate, they saw a round-faced boy of about fourteen or fifteen standing by the threshold, looking at them with a curious expression.

"May I ask who you are looking for?"

Han Su let out a low chuckle, started the car, and began to reverse, saying, "It’s a pity, but it’s too late to regret it now." As he spoke, he glanced into the rearview mirror, quickly backed the car out, shifted gears, and pressed the accelerator, speeding away from the gate in an instant.

Regrettably, although Qin Yafei was eventually rescued, she lost the chance to feed the children.

Zhou Zhining turned into the restroom and began washing her hands at the sink, her gaze fixed on Su Xia’s reflection in the mirror.

I knew that Mother Su was not someone to be trifled with, but I hadn’t expected her to be this formidable; her tongue was truly venomous, leaving the other party with no dignity whatsoever.

"I know. There must be a punishment for a lesson to be remembered," Lin Zihang said, narrowing his dark eyes.

The day after receiving the call from Guo Yuqing, Ye Shengyin invited me out shopping. She had originally planned to travel during the National Day holiday but had been stood up, she said. Consequently, she had been stuck at home keeping her grandmother company until she suddenly remembered me, a jobless wanderer, and decided to reach out.

I wondered to myself, is he really that capable? He handled the Xi'an police in just two minutes? Could he be intentionally leading us into a trap? But with no other path to take, I had to bite the bullet and approach the police checkpoint. Ling Wange stopped the car, and a policeman shone a flashlight into the window.

The car pulled up in front of a private club, dazzling with neon lights. The driver stepped out, opened the door for me, and gestured toward the opulent, golden entrance of the club.

At noon, Wei Nan drove Jin Mian to the kindergarten to pick up Yangyang. Old Master Ran had invited the couple to dinner that evening to celebrate the public listing of Ruichang. Since he was an elder, it was difficult to decline, so Jin Mian decided to pick up some gifts along the way.

At this moment, the space between her slender, delicate, and smooth legs was already flooded, the crystalline fluid coating Zhao Yi’s palms.

Wang Chen felt a surge of curiosity and was just about to ask Qiushui a question when, in a flicker before his eyes, Qiushui, who had been standing right in front of him, vanished without a trace.

"You want to keep me here?" Feng Qiye smiled faintly, the depths of his eyes as still as stagnant water, impossible to stir.

What kind of absurd joke is this? This is incredibly dangerous! If nothing else, what if they decide to kill the hostage?

Seeing this, Zi Yan did not insist. She withdrew her hand into her sleeve, a flicker of exhaustion crossing her eyes. The journey during this period had not depleted much of her Dou Qi, but it had been mentally draining.

Everyone turned to look, only to see the Princess, who had stormed off to her maiden home in a rage that morning, now returning.

Although she wasn't speaking to me, compared to Ultear's Arc of Time, my Arc of Space was better suited for the current situation.

"Li Qing." The visitors were none other than Xu Panyan and Wu You. They hadn't seen each other in a hundred years. Upon meeting again, Wu You called out joyfully.

The burly man did not deliberate for long. Like the young nobleman before him, he flew toward the bottom of the lava lake. Yet, the young nobleman still had not devised a strategy; in a state of helplessness, he instinctively pulled out the fire spirit corpse.

Zhao Changtian also saw the Golden Bean flying at high speed, then observed the changes in the Thunder Dragon, and noticed the Thunder Tribulation Liquid that had vanished from its head.

I’m frustrated! The station takes seatbelt safety seriously, yet the staff responsible for passenger safety inside the vehicle pay it no mind at all! Indeed, human beings themselves are the primary focus that needs to change.
