Volume 1, Chapter 27: Putting on the Act Again

The next day, the filming of the production team’s short video officially began.

Di Ba paid no heed to the screaming eunuch, even though the man was a Martial Immortal. Di Ba’s gaze remained fixed on the frost-faced Third Princess, his eyes cold and detached.

As he spoke, he leaned his head a little closer toward Su Yunran, tilted it to study her for a few moments, and then laughed even more heartily.

"Haha, I’m off. You two carry on chatting." Shi Hu stuck out his tongue, closed the door, and left.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yu immediately perked up, her eyes brightening with undisguised excitement.

The Emperor’s lips tightened. He rubbed his thumb against the dragon head on his throne, watching young You-ge, who was completely oblivious to the situation, his emotions fluctuating in complex waves.

The result was that four-fifths of the people supported Wang Dao's proposal; the only ones who did not raise their hands were a handful of minor generals from the pro-war faction who followed Li Meng.

Watching this, Nanny Hong felt a mix of complicated emotions. Suddenly, she heard Shou'an speak, and the content of her words made her heart skip a beat.

Without further ado, Xiao Yu followed Liu Yan to the area where the Ancient Sword Divine Tree resided. This was the core of the Sword Academy, heavily guarded by numerous experts.

Yesterday, the man had been unrestrained for a while. Yang Yuwei had managed to hold her ground at first, but later, swayed by his sweet talk and charming antics, she found herself led by the nose before she even realized it.

Well, since she was here, she might as well make the best of it. She would focus on living her life well and helping her sister with whatever she could.

After placing the sixth piece, my Spirit-Eyes began to sense a resonant spiritual energy fluctuating gently. By the time I placed the twelfth, through my inner vision, that surging spiritual energy had transformed from a soft whisper into a raging torrent, shaking me so violently that my Spirit-Eyes left me dizzy and disoriented.

"Damn it, it’s happening again! Is our vanguard army going to be wiped out here?" Seeing the violent explosions, Ashi Nuo'er cried out, his face ashen.

"Very well, very well. Young Master Lin, go ahead; Mother and I will take care of everything. You can rest assured." Xie Yingying let out a breath, finally calming down.

Kang Zizhen was stunned. He opened his mouth but couldn't find the words. The question was too broad, and he did not know how to answer.

Kong San’s hand trembled as he released an icy-blue feathered arrow. He did not aim it at Zhao Shiyu, but fired it in the opposite direction, sending a signal to another old monster.

Then again, Tian Yin was, after all, a world-renowned superstar, a celebrity of the highest caliber. Her aura was immense, and she did not lose even an inch when facing a titan of the industry like Lin Sen.

Lin Jue and Liang Qi led ten thousand troops, barefoot, splashing through the mud as they charged into the enemy's left camp. It was, naturally, a ruthless trampling and slaughter. The enemy's left camp was indeed thinly defended; after twenty thousand cavalry had been redeployed, fewer than ten thousand soldiers remained, and in their panic, they were completely incapable of resistance.

Of course, this test was meant for the proctoring instructors, serving to demonstrate the transparency of the evaluation results. The duty of the three instructors from Ailins Academy was to maintain order and record the candidates' test scores.

Jinyu: Thank you for your concern, Director. I will take your kind words to heart. I only walk long distances occasionally, not nearly as much as you did when you were in the service. You must make sure to rest along the way; don't ignore the toll of your age.

To ensure the crops in the seed base were unaffected by the drought, irrigation was carried out day and night. At night, Li Yu had the tenant farmers light bonfires at the edge of the fields or hold torches to provide light for the watering operations.
