Volume 1 Chapter 25: Following and Counter-Following

Ye Zhong felt a rare sense of panic; his instinct told him that Princess Yuzhen’s visit to the Governor’s manor was undoubtedly prompted by the rumors circulating about him and Li Guo’er.

China is not yet on the radar of Sega or Nintendo, but should Li Fangcheng dare to reveal even the slightest hint of unauthorized console production, he would undoubtedly face total suppression by Nintendo and abandonment by Sega.

Gongsun Ce struggled to recall, but he could not place the man; his suspicions regarding this so-called "Thunder General" only deepened.

Sunlight shone upon the gleaming silver business card, which bore a line of text: Dong Quhan, General Manager of XX Company—Extensive business scope, please call for inquiries.

Where there are trade routes and fat sheep, it is only natural that opportunistic bandits—highwaymen—will emerge.

"What!?" Lin Ai felt a jolt of alarm, her face turning pale. Virtually all the combat strength of Pascal Village had been deployed to the front lines; the rear was now dangerously exposed.

In truth, Guan Yun dared not cause any loss of life, but time was pressing, and he did not want to waste it on lengthy explanations; he simply wanted to get the job done first.

Qinnan was not a large place, and because its geography kept it away from the mountains, the streets were filled almost entirely with common folk, unlike Xincheng, where one could spot a sword-wielding youth from a cultivation sect every ten paces.

"Rumble..." A rolling sound awakened Yan Yunxing from his deep slumber. He felt a round object fall beside him, but he didn't even lift his head, too lazy to even reach out and touch it.

Gan Jing was getting a headache from their questions, yet she refused to answer another word; at a time like this, the more one says, the more one errs.

The Young Sovereign’s younger brother had left the Qin Imperial Palace nine and a half years ago, more than half a year after the Young Sovereign himself.

The tolling of the bell echoed throughout the entire sect. Everyone was thrown into a state of panic and confusion, unaware of what had transpired.

Lunch was hardly a feast for the eyes; Gan Jing ate in the company of a cold, aloof driver before rushing straight home.

"Quiet! My affairs are not for you to comment on. Li Yan, you have overstepped," Qing Wu said, her brows furrowed in a sharp reprimand.

As the large group formed, the terror in their hearts subsided slightly. As the saying goes, there is safety in numbers, and such was the case here.

"You know as well as I do that it is impossible. The system of the Great Wilderness world is entirely different from the outside," the avatar said, expressionless.

Ye Haoxuan could not help but feel a deep sense of sympathy for them; to be subjected to such mockery at the very end was truly pitiful.

Lin Feng then kicked off against the void, flying in the direction from which the unmanned combat drones had come; there, two massive space battleships were approaching.

"Rou Ti, why are you smiling at us? What is the rush? What is the matter?" Ruo Haimu stood up, looking at her daughter-in-law, who was squatting nearby and giggling foolishly, and reached out to pull her up.

"Very well, that will be all. You may go back to your work," Tao Ge said with a nod, signaling that the head nurse could leave.

Upon hearing Mo Zihan’s words, the man in black, who was holding his breath while lurking above the latrine, and Yi Wuchen, who was outside the room, both suffered facial twitches.

Murong Che stood there, mouth half-open and frozen, the smile on his lips and the corners of his eyes locked in place as if he had been struck by a binding spell.

Although she did not understand the situation, she knew that Li Chen was by no means simple; otherwise, he would never have been so indifferent toward the son of the Audit Bureau Chief.

At this moment, his head was resting against the edge of the bath, tilted slightly upward to reveal a sensual Adam's apple. Droplets of water shimmered on his fair chest like pearls.

"What are you saying? Stop talking nonsense!" She threw a throw pillow at Lu Fengfan, but he caught it with ease. He was always like this, turning improper mid-conversation; he was so thick-skinned that he dared to say anything.

He was a man of few words by nature, and after what had happened, seeing Lin Shenshen safe and sound brought a sudden, adrenaline-fueled sense of relief, as if he had survived a brush with death—making him even quieter than before.

Wei Routi lowered her head even further. Could she dare say it? To hell with it; she wouldn't say another word even if they killed her.

Yun Duoduo rolled her eyes, already understanding his intent. Although they had received the Emperor’s approval, they still needed to maintain a low profile to avoid people accusing the Emperor of going back on his word.

In that instant, he grabbed her and took it. His feet scuffed the ground, kicking up a thick cloud of dust. Before the cashier could even react, the two of them had vanished into the distance.

Sitting in the center was the veteran officer who had held our meeting yesterday... Uncle Da. After retiring, Uncle Da had been rehired and had become our direct supervisor.

Every time Jia Ren utilized the Profound Water Escape, he could feel the staggering depletion of his spiritual energy. Had his cultivation not reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, he would never have been able to perform the master-level technique, which drained spiritual energy like a pump, even twice.

Most people, finding their path blocked, created their own realms and took unconventional routes, hoping to bypass the barriers and approach the Great Luo.

The fog of the Cloud-Veil Illusion Array churned, quickly concealing the fluctuations of the Profound Sword Seven-Kill Array. On the surface, it looked no different than before.

In fact, among the four great families, the Yutian Han clan was the first to rise to prominence. Han Derang not only became the Great Chancellor of the Liao Dynasty—the highest political position—and the King of Qi, but he was also granted the Yelu surname, renamed Yelu Longyun, and entered into the imperial register, becoming the first Han Chinese to be incorporated into the Khitan imperial nobility of the Liao Dynasty.
