Volume 1, Chapter 66: The Hatching Black Cat
"The person manipulating this must be nearby. Go search for them."
"Understood."
Xu Kangjia's expression was grave. He had originally thought he could achieve two birds with one stone, but when it all came down to it, he was still one move short.
Indeed, compared to ferocious beasts that only possessed brute strength, the cunning members of the Heretic God Cult were far more difficult to deal with.
"Director."
Lin Peng shook his head at him with a face full of disappointment.
Sure enough, the place was already long deserted.
"Interrogate them carefully, and try to extract as much intelligence as possible."
In the end, Qin Lang still returned at dinner time just like usual. At that moment, Ye Li was still lying in bed, sleeping in a daze the entire day.
Looking at the loyal and busy Zhuan Zhu, Li Zhishi looked toward the rising sun in the east. Beneath it stood the City Lord's Mansion, which symbolized the highest center of power in Tang City. The thoughts he had pondered over late into the night lingered repeatedly in his mind. Everything is difficult at the start, but once the first step is taken, every subsequent step will follow closely behind.
"What kind of taste is this?" Jia Zhengjin shook his head in disgust, picked out a few pieces at random to wear, and then walked straight out.
Seeing that Old Jin's attempt to gain an advantage ended in a loss, Kui Ran spat out a harsh remark and continued to entangle with the Yin-Yang Flood Dragon.
Liu Tianqing was not asleep; he had been watching Ye Li under the dim light of the wall lamp. In her sleep, her brows were still tightly knitted. At this moment, her whole body suddenly curled up, her lips were bitten so hard by her teeth that beads of blood oozed out, and her body spasmed convulsively, as if someone was beating her while she endured unbearable pain.
Zhang Chengming hid in the corner, trembling all over with excitement, his eyes fixed dead on that slip of paper on the stove. In his eyes, that was practically a check.
Wang and Sun both wanted to become disciples of this Juren scholar. To test their talents, the scholar had specially set up three barriers.
I will just rest for five minutes. During this period, I have to monitor Su Huan, worry about the affairs of my second uncle and second aunt, and also guard against that Zuozhi. I am really too tired.
"I want it. If you didn't show up anymore, I wouldn't be able to keep this class under control, and my salary wouldn't be guaranteed," Ye Li replied without hesitation.
Though their faces forced a calm composure, their hearts were actually surging with turbulent waves. Every change or disappearance of the tens of thousands of destiny life-fires they witnessed represented the intensity of this cruel battle.
For all these days, this was the first time Shang Qi had shown concern for him. Although it was "tricked" out of him by Luo Yichen's scheme, his heart still felt warm. No matter how Shang Qi viewed this marriage, Luo Yichen still deeply hoped for a good outcome. Like every married man, he hoped his wife would revolve solely around him.
The awards ceremony ended as midnight approached. Colleagues from Boxiao far away in Beijing sent their congratulations one after another. This was the first award won since the new company was established, making it particularly significant to them.
Yuan Qiuhua said: No, it's a fish that flew onto the shore, a painter and photographer from Guangzhou who came here to sketch and take photos. After I went back, I posted a few landscape photos online. When he saw that our place was picturesque and like a fairyland on earth, he insisted on coming here to gather inspiration.
"Get up. The ground is cold, don't hurt your knees. When you get older in the future, it will be hard to bear," Emperor Hongxuan said gently, personally going over to help Consort Lan Zhao up.
He firmly believed that the acquisition of any antique was always a matter of the object choosing the person, rather than the person choosing the object. The bond between a person and an object seemed to have been predestined in a past life.
"It doesn't matter," Yue Li shook his head, signaling him not to mind. With that, he turned around and walked out of the convenience store.
Yue Li's eyes were filled with remorse and despair. He slowly squatted down, burying his head in his arms helplessly like a child, making it impossible to see his expression.
Thank you, thank you for witnessing our growth, and thank you for providing your encouragement when I was most helpless.
"You should ask the comrades at the hotel about this—see if they have these two items. If they do, just order whatever you want," Lin Jinghong said, breaking out in a sweat.
"Green Snake, we have already given you a chance. Since you refuse to know what's good for you, don't blame us for being merciless." Having said that, the immortal sword that the Green Snake could originally control was actually intercepted and controlled by that fellow Jin Zhilin.
