Volume 1, Chapter 52: It Was Her, It Was Her, Discovering It Was Xu Ruoqing's Doing
Hearing this, those tiger-kin members wore expressions of regret. However, they did not dare to act presumptuously in front of Luo Yi, especially since Luo Yi had already displayed strength in this tournament that was formidable enough to command respect.
"You are so tall; playing the role of Si Jiu would require massive changes and present an enormous challenge for you. If you mess it up, it will ruin the entire production. Are you sure you want to take this on?" Chang Li said with exasperation. This fellow was crude, careless, and did whatever made him happy without ever considering the difficulty.
Although it was a one-against-two spar, Lu Zheng had clearly observed both of their current strengths during the match. After a brief estimation, he was quite satisfied with what he saw.
It was glaringly obvious that Mother Lin’s words had directly struck upon the two incidents: "cat abuse" and the "underwear thief." Instantly, Han Lei’s face flushed a burning, fiery red. With the surrounding neighbors pointing fingers at him as well, he truly wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
By this time, Zhou Zehai had already faintly investigated the events of back then. After all, following the death of his mother, Zhou Shitong, her close friend Madam An had never contacted the Zhou family again, and even skipped his mother's funeral under the pretext of pregnancy. Thinking about it now, there was definitely a reason for all of this.
"I had guessed such a day would come sooner or later. Isn't it all just for money?" He let out a slow breath, suppressing the sorrow and pain within his heart as he spoke.
Such news was best taken with a grain of salt; believing it outright would simply be too foolish. Giorgio Armani was the very soul of the Armani brand and would never give out casual reviews so easily. Zhou Bai's attire had been custom-made by Armani's side, crafted by their designers, so this was likely just a marketing tactic on their part.
"That is one way to put it. Still, we owe it all to this immortal artifact," Monk Xuan Yi suddenly remarked, coming to a halt. He turned his head back to look at Huijue, a faint smile lingering in his expression.
"Um, good junior sister, why don't you just tell the story right here!" She must not be allowed to change locations. If her junior sister spilled the secret shortcut halfway through the tale, wouldn't his losses be enormous?
Clutched in her hand was a cold, chilling blade of dark wind, as if she were prepared at any moment to fight a desperate battle to the death.
A hoarse voice came from behind. Wang Chongyang instantly grew alert. To appear behind him completely without a sound was simply mind-boggling.
Taking Kiko's computer, he effortlessly breached the United States satellite security center and launched a massive offensive.
Outside Wolf Valley, a young man in white robes, accompanied by five hundred heavily armored cavalry, charged forward like a whirlwind. The troop halted their horses once they reached the outskirts of the valley.
Looking at Wang Chongyang, who was dressed in black brocade robes trimmed with gold, Qin Fuhan nodded slightly and smiled as she walked out.
No wonder Yun Beihuai was in such a rush to consummate this marriage; even faced with the humiliation of a broken engagement, he was still willing to swallow his pride and beg to restore the old ties. As it turned out, he wanted to add a male heir to his household. However, because Mount Zhaoyao was isolated and had almost no contact with the outside world, he had never been able to find a match of equal social standing for his daughter.
Hearing this, Xiao Lin could not help but laugh out loud. It was highly improbable that someone so vulgar would have the inclination to study relevant history; he was probably only doing it for the money.
Ever since he started making money, he had loved traveling and thrills. His unrestrained, big-spending " tycoon" persona drew widespread envy.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Gods had bestowed upon him a supreme treasure, which significantly boosted his strength. If he could return to the Khitans, Wutu felt he might even dare to try challenging for the rank of a commander of a thousand men.
Even so, the speed of the Lightning Release that Lin Fei was currently exhibiting was still far inferior to the true Lightning Release.
Meanwhile, when signing the purchase contract in Germany, he also put forward two demands. The first was naturally the training of sailors and naval officers, and the second was the purchase of dock facilities to establish a maintenance and assembly yard in Korea. To these two proposals by Li Ningyu, Britain and Germany raised not the slightest objection.
For instance, during the acquisition of Shambala, although the entire acquisition process went smoothly, the company's stock price experienced a rare downward trend for several years after the target was secured.
"Is it not good-looking?" Yin'er looked at Liu Xu's unchanging face and suddenly said with a hint of dejection.
This implication was simply asking her to turn a blind eye when Ye Luo and the others made their moves, and ideally, to lend a helping hand from time to time.
Hearing Tie Bing's reply from the earpiece, Li Ningyu slowly lowered the magnifying glass in his hand, a thoughtful smile appearing on his face. Seeing Li Ningyu smile at him like that, Tie Bing felt a bit embarrassed, and then heard Li Ningyu say, "Hehe, Tie Bing, you've grown quite slick yourself now!"
"Hey, can you guys not follow me?" If Yue Wuhen spotted people from the imperial court, she would likely be mistaken for a spy again, and in that case, they would execute her without exception.
"Pardon me, for interrupting, but I believe the jade token you are speaking of is probably this one." Yang Tian held the jade token in his hand, exposing it under numerous gazes.
"What is Master saying? Being cherished by three masters is Ning'er's fortune, and I naturally should cherish it dearly. Today, I've prepared a few breakfast dishes you haven't had before. Try them and see which one you like; from now on, Ning'er will make them for you every day." Not a shred of hypocrisy could be discerned in Zhong Qing's innocent gaze.
