When Yun Rou opened her eyes again, she thought she had returned to that vast expanse of white, only to hear the old man with the white beard rambling on as usual.

Meanwhile, the drama-loving technician received a message from Director Zhou stating that he was now with Master Mu from the company. He instructed them to head over to consolidate the situation so that the search and rescue operations could be arranged later.

Taking out the sword-shaped jade pendant, Ximen Zhui-Xue examined it carefully, discovering only a peculiar energy contained within. Beyond that, there were no other findings. However, given that it had been treasured by the Blood Demon Sword Venerable for so long, he surmised that the pendant must be far from ordinary.

"You beast, born of no mother and raised by none! To strike your own brother and nephew! Do you even have a shred of humanity left? You animal!" Madam Wang cursed in a fit of rage.

With her narrow-mindedness, she believed that one day, she might be able to return to the village in a blaze of glory and settle scores with them one by one.

The commotion lasted until the early hours of the morning. Gu Jingshen washed up briefly before returning. Gu Qianqian had obediently listened to him and was already asleep with her eyes closed by the time he finished. He climbed into bed and, without a second thought, pulled her into his arms.

"Qianqian, I’ve discovered that I am not as important to you as a mere face. I feel a bit hurt." The way this man was jealous was truly speechless, yet he was also honest enough to admit that his jealousy had made him unhappy.

Su Shi did not take on any disciples himself, but his son had already accepted nine. Whenever his son was away, it was naturally his turn to help train them; he found this life quite agreeable. While he had no disciples of his own, he could help his son train his grand-disciples.

However, this long river was a Daoist artifact—a top-tier one at that. In the blink of an eye, the two sword beams were obliterated.

In that brief moment of distraction, a black-robed figure’s chain-sword pierced through Li Le’s protective aura and struck deep into his abdomen.

Everyone’s eyes widened in shock. How could this be? Captain Zhang was a national Sanda champion who had never known defeat in military competitions. To think that such a man could not even last a single round against the new instructor.

After saying this, he prepared to turn back and engage the black-robed figure once more. He thought that if he could buy Li Tiandao some time, it would be worth it.

"Brother Yi, the Qingyuan Sacred Ground has clearly involved itself in this matter. What do you think our next move should be? Shall we lie low for now, or launch a direct attack on the Qingyuan Sacred Ground?" If Yi Pengyi had been worried before, he now felt no trace of fear in his heart.

From now on, the relationship between the Tokugawa Shogunate and the nations of the South Sea would be as sharp as needle points against awns, irreconcilable as fire and water.

A man like a fierce tiger, a horse like a dragon, a crimson robe stained with blood that echoes through the ages. He values promises over his own life, traveling a thousand miles, and with a single spear and one horse, he rescues the top scholar.

She slowly tucked it back in. It was obvious that the tassel had been dismantled, and the contents inside had already been removed.

Back from the rooftop, Chen Beiming pondered how to ensure Haruko obtained that document. It had to be done in a way that made her exhaust every effort to secure it, believing the intelligence was hard-won and therefore authentic, while ensuring she would succeed at the critical moment.

It wasn't until nightfall that Li Le shook his head, sighed, and pushed these frustrating matters out of his mind before calling Qing'e to prepare dinner.

As the chief of the procuratorate, one does not need to be overly familiar with the technical details, but one must know how to employ people. Chen Gong was a good leader because he knew how to delegate; Zhang Xueliang and the others felt that Chen Gong had a knack for management. While his technical expertise might not match that of Li Dongfei, his skill in utilizing talent was a cut above.
