Chapter 28: Handing Over the Wages

The aroma of garlic oysters was enough to make the neighbor’s child weep with envy, and it also jolted Xie Jinyu from her thoughts. Ye Changzheng had brought back sixteen oysters, and Xie Jinyu had prepared all of them with garlic. She arranged the grilled oysters on a platter and asked Ye Changzheng to deliver two to Brigade Commander Cheng, Political Commissar Tan, Regiment Commander Wei, and Regiment Commander Gu, respectively. When Ye Changzheng returned from delivering the oysters to his comrades, he brought back some steamed oysters they had prepared in return.

Whether in the Ye family or the Dai family, within the entire Alliance, Ye Jingyun truly could not find anyone whose pure beauty could rival that of Ye Ziyi, to say nothing of her unique temperament.

Then, Yu Qinghe recounted in detail everything that had transpired within the Void Secret Realm to Xuan Tianqi.

The men sitting in the adjacent booth noticed Wang Jili drinking his sorrows away alone on the sofa. They exchanged glances, walked over with smirks, and pulled Wang Jili toward their own booth.

In the enclosed space, amidst the oppressive darkness, his voice sounded muffled, as if he had suffered some grievance; hearing it made one instinctively want to ask him what was wrong.

Watching the partition door of the exhibition hall slowly rise, Alan, knowing that the agents of the Third Republic were already in pursuit, had no time to think. Not daring to engage the agents in a direct firefight, he slipped into the darkness of the ceiling and vanished.

"No, I did not use the power of the mask. Every time I put on that mask, saying those insincere words and playing someone whose personality is so different from my own, it fills me with fear."

The general idea is that when a person's attention is focused on one thing, even if someone passes by, they will neither see nor remember it, as if it had never happened at all.

Su Jue was quite candid; this was no secret, he simply hadn't elaborated on it during his previous chats with Mu Qingzhu.

If one were to ask who would dare to boldly declare to the brand manager of CICI, "Your brand's endorsement fee is too low and unworthy of my noble self," only Yun Chu would be arrogant enough to utter such overreaching words.

More importantly, the personnel guarding her did not discover her escape immediately; they were discovered by others. These guards had fallen into a deep coma and only regained consciousness a few days ago, and without exception, they had lost all memory of the preceding three days.

Meng Xisheng shook his head but remained silent. The Emperor nowadays did not care about the homage of ten thousand nations. For envoys from Goryeo or Japan to attempt to use the guise of tribute to line their pockets as they had in the past was now nearly impossible.

"Good, worthy of being a descendant of our Zhang family. You are truly a man of responsibility. Your grandfather thanks you here," Zhang Kun said, a look of apology crossing his face as he patted Zhang Wei’s hand.

Although Wei Qiongshan spoke nicely, he was actually quite uneasy in his heart. After hanging up his son's phone, he made a call to someone else.

Within the vast expanse of the rainforest, a red dot appeared. Staring at this red dot, Jiang Yang's expression gradually grew grave.

The main force of the Mari army established the Ebla city as their capital and founded the Second Ebla Dynasty, also known as the Mariot Kingdom.

If he had Zhou Jian as an ally, things would be different. Setting aside the direct assistance Zhou Jian could provide, even if he did nothing but remain his good friend, it would still increase his leverage within the family.

At this time, a great drought once again befell the land. Tang adopted Yi Yin's suggestion and ceased paying tribute to the Xia Dynasty to test the strength of Lü Gui.

The more Zhou Jian listened, the tighter his brows knitted. He finally understood why his father had lived in seclusion all these years, and why, after his own identity was exposed, his father had chosen to go into hiding once more, a location he hadn't even disclosed to Zhou Jian.

At this moment, when Lang Feng, Babai, and Lai Qilin saw that their Master of Tribulation had left, they looked back at the majestic and imposing statue standing behind them, then hurriedly gave chase in the direction taken by their master, Xiao Nan.
