Chapter 51: The Behavior of the Male Lead

Three days later, everyone from the sect gathered at Jiang Heng’s cave dwelling. Jiang Huaixu led the group, with Xu Ning’an trailing behind Huo Shiqing, his eyes swollen like peaches and his spirits low, biting his lip. Upon seeing Han Jie, except for Shen Yanchu, everyone else’s expressions darkened noticeably.

“Junior Brother Han,” Shen Yanchu greeted Han Jie warmly, and Han Jie responded politely. With a wave of his sleeve, Shen Yanchu conjured a variety of spiritual fruits and celestial teas on the previously empty table.

Xia Donghe ignored Ma Tianhao’s words, his gaze instead fixed on Lin Jinglong’s arm and palm.

Today’s date with Chu Fei was meant to be kept secret from Guan Ya, so it should have been confidential.

The roaring of rakshasas echoed continuously, but the group noticed their attacks only caused superficial wounds.

“Who’s this mutt, daring to question Lord Xia? Security! Security, get them out!” Onstage, Ma Tianhao’s anger flared uncontrollably.

Upon arriving at the Hainan General Military District, he discovered several retired American-made helicopters captured from the North Gaoli battlefield, as well as three armed helicopters once generously provided by Old Su during better relations.

Ding Congli had also become highly sensitive, constantly checking her phone, tracking Mu Zheng, and bickering. The two had lived like that for over a decade.

“How is this possible?! Doesn’t he like me? Does he like someone else? Or is there something wrong with his character?” She fired off three questions in rapid succession, her earlier shyness gone without a trace.

He smiled inwardly, suspecting the tea might have been drugged; otherwise, why would he think of those things when Shen Qingli fed him tea or gave him a massage?

The Jinling Chamber of Commerce, holding assets exceeding three hundred billion, would lose control to the Qinglong Group, which was set to replace it in the future.

Bending down, he scooped Shen Xiaoyue up around the waist. Her legs were fair and delicate, the touch pleasing enough that Lin Jinglong instinctively caressed them.

The higher-ups intended to release them back to their country, but since they were ungrateful, they should not blame the military for being ruthless.

Meanwhile, Dugu Qianchi stood alone, facing the flood of rats and those enormous rat elders comparable to great scholars, barely holding on.

Other classmates were stunned, thinking, “No wonder she’s called the Thousand-Thoughts Guanyin; her questions are incredibly profound.”

Throughout the history of Daxia and other continental nations, Lin Yu had never seen any record of animals attaining sentience.

Shen Cha bowed, then turned around and, without hesitation, extended his hand toward the target she had already chosen.

Damn it, she really couldn’t stand Wu Day’s thick-skinned, self-important chatter without any self-awareness.

“The Emperor means that all the children I bear in the future will be princes?” Ning Rong stared at her intently with wide eyes.

Based on the timing of Ashuan’s disappearance and the deaths of the others, this hypothesis was quite reasonable.

The tremors quickly intensified, unleashing a violent force along with an inescapable fury upon the pitiful ruins.

That night, the western city was struck by the first rain since autumn. The downpour was fierce and heavy, and the temperature dropped accordingly, though many trainees remained unaware.

Chu Bailian’s body froze, his expression cracking and crumbling like mud plaster falling to the ground in pieces.

For some unknown reason, they noticed an unusual number of dogs on the streets that night, many unfamiliar faces among them.

About half a month after Chen Yuan’s return, Huang Xing’er was sent by her parents to the Zhitian Temple, and Chen Yuan accompanied her to see her off.

Yaoran’s casual demeanor was striking, much like the day she kissed Chen Yuan on the cheek right in front of her, then pushed him away nonchalantly, as if declaring war.

There was once a news report about a child who, during school, found money and handed it over to the police. To thank him, the police officer personally brought a set of test papers to his school and handed them to him.
