Chapter 44

Duke Greymont was also a resourceful man. The moment he heard Lin Xia's words, he grasped her underlying meaning: transfer the current army away and disband them under a different pretext, while actually preserving their core, and then recruit and train a fresh batch of soldiers. It was indeed a brilliant idea.

With this thought forming in his mind, Lin Xiang looked toward Leng Tianao and Zhu Hongjun, an unfathomable glint shining in his eyes.

Although Yisheng was unwilling to leave Ji Huan and the timing was so inconvenient, this concerned her studies after all, and it was such a rare opportunity.

"No matter what kind of place this mysterious space is, you won't be returning here once you leave, so don't dwell on it. My time is running out. If you have any other questions, ask them quickly," the man in the projection suddenly spoke up.

Seeing that Jiang Hai had effortlessly absorbed his aura without the slightest reaction, the Silver Fox felt a surge of reluctance. He reached out and drew the Chasing Wind Sword from his waist, eager to test his strength against Jiang Hai in a duel.

Jiang Hai wanted to offer some explanation, but he simply didn't know how to phrase it. In matters like this, the more one tried to clear oneself, the darker things became.

"Then I'm afraid you're bound to be disappointed, Brother Hao has no secrets. Let's talk about the Sanctuary first!" Tang Hao curled his lips and said.

"Let's go, Tang Hao, the Judgment Platform is waiting for you!" Li Zan said with a smile, looking exceptionally happy at that moment.

His body surged forward like a sharp arrow, and with a few bounds, Lin Xiang appeared inside the warship where Wang Gang and the others were launching their attacks.

Hun Qianzhong's eyes were filled with venom as he said coldly, "Hmph, we'll let it rest at that for today!" With that, he and another Elder of the Nether Sect stepped down from the platform.

The next moment, Hua Qianyue, who had landed in the courtyard, abruptly raised her head. "Gong Chenjian..." The trickle of blood spilling from the corners of her lips was instantly washed away by the downpour. Her breathtakingly beautiful face looked all the more pale beneath the lightning that rent the sky.

As soon as these words were spoken, curiosity rippled through the crowd. Several people from both the first and second floors gathered around, seemingly waiting to watch a good show.

The spirit pearl was placed in the palm of my hand, and I could feel my body instinctively absorbing the spiritual energy contained within it.

Chu Yunxi tended to his wounds, applied the healing ointment to stop the bleeding, and then wrapped the injuries securely with bandages.

Rubbernecking was part of human nature. Seeing so many players gathered together, surrounding free-roaming players crowded in to get to the bottom of the matter.

The reporters opposite had already stepped out of their cars. Driven by their sensitive professional instincts, they impatiently raised their cameras and aimed them at Xu Qingyuan, causing Xu Qingyuan to hesitate.

After Yan Yunjue went into the palace to see Murong Yu that day, he had not returned to his estate. He couldn't possibly have been in such a hurry that he didn't even return home once; even if he didn't bring anything else, he wouldn't have left this pouch behind.

"I've already bought them." Although he didn't know about the animosity between the two, he knew that Luo Qi didn't want to spend even a single minute more with that man.

Seeing Yang Jian roll such a high score, everyone around let out gasps of amazement. They then turned to look at me, their faces filled with sympathy.

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Do you think the boss cultivates you just to send you to your death? Use your brain," Li Liu said to Lu Yu, looking at him as if he were an idiot.

A good family background meant a good learning environment, where parents were enlightened, understood the importance of education, and were well-versed in pedagogical methods. Children from such an environment, barring congenital defects, generally turned out successful, since they had already started far, far ahead on the running track.

This was because the alchemist had chosen an alternative method instead of directly deciding whether to leave this place and go outside to investigate.

Inside the sedan, Xue Baochai paused, tightened her grip on her silk handkerchief, and bit her lip. Her soft, delicate voice trembled even more as she stubbornly pressed on, "Brother Cong, it was all my good-for-nothing brother's fault. I apologize to you on his behalf."

He stood there blankly, watching as Quirrell walked toward him while raising a hand to untangle the turban from his head.

Su Yun observed his surroundings. At the current hour, most players were either lining up for food in the cafeteria or eating, though the two players from last night were nowhere to be seen.

Mrs. Weasley pulled Harry into an embrace so tight it nearly cracked his ribs, then pushed him back slightly to look him over from head to foot.

Grand Duke Li Daolin and Grand Duke Zhao Chong exchanged glances before simultaneously casting a sidelong look at Ning Zechen.

The tearful expression made Que feel a sharp ache in his heart; he could somewhat understand why there would be such a reaction.

Seeing Que lost in thought, Lily took him by surprise with a light laugh and slipped her arm around the young man's arm.

Snowflake-like data streams flashed through Que's eyes, and his processing power surged to an unimaginable level in an instant.

When packing their luggage, Su Zhaoqi only kept a few clothes that weren't too ragged, intending to leave everything else behind. The two children were reluctant to part with them and wanted to take all their clothes, but she stopped them by making up an excuse that Daddy would buy new ones for them.

Shen Qian'an went to visit his lover on his wedding night, and Liang Xuan went on a business trip the very next day, staying away from home for two whole days and a night, almost missing even the traditional third-day return visit to her parents' home. Judging by the current situation, however, the two of them seemed very much inclined to play their own games.

Meanwhile, the referee's voice rang out from the high platform: "Class Seven Xiao Yan's team, victory in the first match!" followed by Zhou Yi's sarcastic mockery of Mu Jin.

Yu Yue didn't seem angry at all. With a good-natured temperament, he took the glass, added some cool water to it, and walked back to the bedside.

Reeds generally grew near the water where the soil was damp, and some reeds even grew directly in shallow water.

Everyone grew tense—Qin Tian was tense, our Party comrades were tense, the secret agents tailing Qin Tian were tense, and the Japanese secret agents inside the carriage were tense as well.
