Volume 1, Chapter 24: Everyone at the factory is whispering that they are going to get back together.

Jiang Weiyue and Song Chuanhe arrived at the factory director’s residential compound. Much like the housing provided for school teachers, it was a detached dwelling with its own private courtyard. It was enclosed by a wall, and a high one at that—nearly two meters tall. Passersby outside could not see what those within the courtyard were doing, which provided a great deal of privacy for the director.

Just then, the two Hall Masters struck again. They grabbed Doutian Wuchang’s hands and stretched his body out.

Ding Yu looked at Wu Rao. Regardless, Wu Rao had not shielded her brother; at the very least, on the surface, she had done what was expected of her.

Originally, the Five Great Alliances had sealed off Stone City like an iron bucket, treating any powerhouse from outside their ranks who entered the city as an enemy.

"It's not easy for an undergraduate to get a teaching position at a university," Ye Li remarked nonchalantly, distracted by the sound from the television as she shifted in Qin Lang’s arms.

However, his luck was clearly good; on his first draw, he picked a newly promoted one-star elder, someone Zhou Zhuo actually recognized.

The total number of challengers this time did not exceed twenty. The official presiding over the event was merely a five-star elder, with a bamboo tube containing about three hundred lots placed before him.

Elder Jiang was dead. It must be said that Tian Tian felt a sense of relief. Everyone who had harmed her back then had finally met their deserved retribution, and the fire of resentment deep within her heart could finally be extinguished.

In Lu Xiufu’s view, it certainly could not be Taiyi. The possibility that a Great Shaman had been suppressed and forced to sign a contract was far greater than the possibility of a reincarnation of Taiyi.

For a moment, the Ancient Chessboard suddenly felt an urge to flee this place, so that its own decision would not contradict her preferences or strip away the only sliver of emotion she possessed.

Seemingly recalling something, Su Ruoshui walked out brazenly and began to carefully size up the two cultivators blocking the doorway, who both appeared filled with a murderous aura.

Rating: S (Legendary).

Count, count, count the treasures; head out the west gate and look to the east. Winter snow, the bridge to the east, the eastern market is bustling with people—bustling, noisy, and full of the joyous spirit of the New Year. Rising at the fifth watch is not too early; the peddler shoulders his pole. Selling New Year pictures, selling garlic sprouts; after selling his wares, he sells New Year cakes.

The Crown Prince is benevolent, but for an emperor, benevolence is sometimes cheap. Just like the current Emperor—when he was Crown Prince, was he not also benevolent? Yet, how many ministers and nobles fell because of him?

Zhang Zhong said firmly. He truly wanted to build a road here. The mountain was full of game and fine timber; with a road, he could make money. He had no thoughts of environmental protection; even the Emperor encouraged people to clear forests for farmland.

Mai Shiranui was knocked to the ground by Mary’s beautiful flip-throw technique, causing an instant, dizzying spin of the world.

But now his "patron" had gone into seclusion. Damn it, it seemed the Liyang Kingdom incident really had deep underlying motives, so deep that even his own master had to resort to seclusion to avoid it. Situ Hao drew this mistaken conclusion.

Upon hearing the other party name the contents of his storage bag, Luo Yu’s expression darkened instantly, and he asked in a deep voice.

Admiral Wu Dahai of the First Fleet accepted Xue Yun’s orders and immediately commanded the navy to hoist the command flag of the Xue Family Army’s main naval fleet. He then signaled the attack flags to the various fleets, directing the five great fleets of the Xue Family Army to begin their encirclement of the two Dutch three-masted sailing ships and five merchant vessels.

"Sigh, Brother Yang, to be honest, I don't have high hopes for you," Can Hong sighed and shook his head, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Liu Mufeng’s arrogant, manic laughter.
