Chapter 45: It Turns Out They Had Not Made Up

In the boundless night, the carriage moved at a slow and leisurely pace.

Pei Jiuru looked at Jiang Nian, who was half-squinting her eyes. He really wanted to ask her why she had been so clingy after getting drunk last time, yet remained exceptionally aloof tonight after drinking. He even more so wanted to ask her why she had inexplicably quarreled and sulked with him.

However, he did not know how to bring it up. He believed that given Jiang Nian’s temperament, as long as he asked, she would answer truthfully. But he—he was somewhat afraid of her answer...

Pei Jiuru let out a faint sigh, hesitating again and again.

"Still unwilling to take it out? In that case, as your uncle, I won't stand on ceremony. Skarmory, give her another Hyper Beam!" Staring intently at every move of Lan Xin, Lei Yan's patience had reached its absolute limit.

"Please tell me what this is!" The male police officer's cold voice raised by an octave as he looked straight at Wang Nanbei.

"It's you!" The expected displeasure did not appear. The moment Li Hai caught sight of the figure in the black robe, a flash of astonishment crossed his eyes, and a slightly delighted exclamation slipped past his lips.

The group replied in unison, "Understood!" They immediately sprinted toward the direction of the conservatory. However, upon arriving at the academy, they discovered that everything seemed as usual, with no cause for concern whatsoever.

Long before Regner grabbed Dacros, Irene had sensed something was amiss, so she inched a bit closer in order to handle any potential incidents that might occur. It was thanks to her vigilance that her life was saved.

Calming down from her brief astonishment, Li Hai looked earnestly at Elder Bai and the purple-haired old man. There was no way the two of them had not heard his exclamation just moments ago, yet right now, they both put on an utterly clueless act. Under Li Hai's intense stare, their gazes flickered slightly, not daring to meet his burning eyes head-on.

These were Jiayingzi's last words before regaining consciousness. Following that, she fainted. Then, the shadowy figure glanced at Babashen with a mutual understanding, transformed into a lump of mud that attached itself to his shoulder, and the dark shadow soared away into the air.

"You're not human?!" Upon hearing Lingxiao state that his true form was a phoenix, Catarina revealed a look of shock.

Gazing at the massive, black-hole-like presence before him, Lin Yi felt an extreme sense of terror. What appeared to be a door right in front of him was clearly nothing less than a meat grinder.

Ever since around late January, peasants had been permitted to go out to the fields outside the city to fetch vegetables and other such things. But according to those people, walking such a long distance was hardly worth it, as almost nothing was left in the fields.

After Lin Jing lost consciousness, the content of their conspiracy was clearly transmitted into Qin Yu's ears.

Alas, she had forgotten most of what she had studied in the past, and for a moment, it was truly difficult to recall.

Lu Fenglie found it somewhat amusing. Meeting the expectant gazes of several people, he clinked glasses with them.

She couldn't even manage to show a desire to draw a clear line between herself and Lu Zhi; resistance implied care, and care implied that there was something shameful needing to be covered up.

Ruan Yaozu was startled. He looked apprehensively toward the doorway and genuinely spotted a guardsman peering in this direction.

Xia Meiyun gave some thoughtful instructions, her gaze dropping down to sweep across Wen Xun's wrist as she turned to leave.

"As long as you're fine, as long as you're fine. Why is your face hurt like this? Have you applied medicine?" Seeing her safe and sound, Cai Dongmei finally let out a sigh of relief.

The reason everyone was willing to step into the examination rooms provided by Shanying Technology was none other than the immense temptation of strengthening their disaster curses.

"I need to wake up early tomorrow, so I'll go back to my room to sleep first, or I won't be able to get up," Ye Muxi said, rubbing her eyes.

After racking my brain to no avail, Xue called me at that moment, making me realize she was still waiting for me by the security booth.

In the past, it was so well-protected that no one had ever seen the real person, and over the past two years, all news of it had ceased completely—it might even be dead for all anyone knew.

Li Xinyi never paid any attention to Chu Feng throughout, and although Chu Feng was anxious, he had no good solution either.
