Xu Yu paused.

"Things from nearly three years ago—who can remember them clearly? Besides, Young Master Zhao's household is already in total chaos; it is best not to provoke those loose women outside."

Shen Liangyan's warning sounded like a mockery, causing Zhao Qian to lose face. "Third Master, don't say that. I've just gotten a divorce, and I'm quite a catch in the matchmaking market."

"With..."

His younger brother saw things more clearly than he did, which is why he managed to escape. He subconsciously tried to struggle, but was seized by the bodyguards and forced back into the room.

Hu Jianjun knew that these kiwis needed to be picked and left to ripen before they could be eaten, but he couldn't resist taking one to taste anyway.

Hu Jianjun hardened his heart. If he wasn't ruthless, he feared she would develop ideas she shouldn't have, and if she brought disaster upon him one day, he wouldn't even know it.

Recalling his thoughts, he realized that the matter of this mysterious person must not be leaked; otherwise, the trouble would be immense. He could not tell a soul.

After the two parties converged, the reinforcements stopped advancing and, after a short while, retreated. It was useless to proceed now, and there was nothing to be gained.

"Will you scold me?" Her mind was already in a muddle; she only felt that Gu Zhiyin was terrifying whenever he wore that expression.

She took a casual glance, but the headline on one of the papers shocked her deeply.

The man froze. Turning his head stiffly to look at Gu Zhiyin's expression, he instantly broke into a cold sweat and retreated.

Just as Chu Ling was struggling to think of how to explain, the crowd's reaction was surprisingly calm, with some even sighing, "Well, that's not surprising then."

Madam Huo had not yet left Nancheng, and her tone was accusatory. Lin Xixi guessed what it was that Madam Huo likely wanted to discuss with her.

Yuxie did not speak. With a flick of his finger, all the dust in the room vanished. Then he began to work; his divine power of creation was naturally ingenious. Old utensils shed their rust and became new again. In just a moment, a kitchen was completed.

Tears welled up in Gatomon's eyes. In the days they had spent together, Liu Hao had constantly played with her, and their bond had grown quite strong. Especially when thinking of everything that had happened in the past, time seemed to freeze in that moment.

At worst, if things blew up, it would just cost some money. The person had said that if it really came to that, she would cover the compensation. Today, she had already given enough money. Zhou Ping was not someone who had never seen money, but even so, she was deeply shocked by that person today.

If one were to ask who was the happiest today, it would naturally be Du Linbo. He firmly believed that setting aside his pride to invite Lin Feng and the others to his home for dinner was the most correct decision he had ever made in his life.

Jaws dropped to the floor. Liang Dong, who had just appeared quite valiant, turned and ran, shouting for help without any shred of dignity as he fled. His voice carried for miles, which truly exceeded everyone's expectations.

He reached out his large hand, fiercely trying to pull Gu Xiaobei’s body apart, but Gu Xiaobei, curled into a ball, was like a corpse; no matter how hard he pulled, he could not straighten her out.

In the room, not far from them, stood a large tiger nearly half the height of a person, estimated to be two meters long. Its fur was stained red in many places. After emitting a whimper, it bent its legs and lay down. On the tiger's back was a person dressed in red.

Hearing that cry, the three of them felt their legs go weak, and they nearly collapsed to the ground. Good heavens, was it just a little arson? Did it really require such a grand spectacle?

Zhao Lanshan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze fixed on Xu Zhe with astonishment. He had never imagined that Xu Zhe would be able to fight him to a draw while inflicting so much damage.

"Could it be because a phoenix can be reborn from the ashes?" Dantai Mingyue was full of suspicion, grabbing Ye Huang and shaking her violently.
