“Have you heard? It seems the National Government no longer wants to negotiate during these three-way talks between the Nationalists, the People’s Party, and the Pioneer Army. Chiang Kai-shek refuses to accept the views of the People’s Party and the Pioneer Army, and he refuses to establish a peaceful nation. He wants to become a dictator and rule as emperor!” the middle-aged man said in a lowered voice.

For now, they were still useful and could help everyone make money, so they continued to live quite comfortably.

Qin Shi Huang did not hesitate. He picked up the jade bottle and directly removed its stopper.

There were simply too many applicants. The overwhelming majority of countries had even copied the old imperial method of using a lottery to allocate home purchases—a practice developed during that filthy, unbearable era of the Empire’s past.

If things continued to develop this way, they would always remain behind the Empire in the future. As time passed, the gap would only grow wider.

Before the three newly advanced True Immortals who had just entered could salute and offer their greetings, Liu Kang, the formerly taciturn Sick Divine Physician, had already rattled off a long speech.

More than a dozen nobles fought desperately over it, while everyone else was watching to see whose hands the flower and lotus pedestal would finally fall into. No one paid any attention to the thunder.

The data on the lenses kept changing. Only after quite some time did they produce a detailed reading. The Rebette race could not be considered a true aristocratic clan, but Isha’s genetic potential had still reached eight stars.

Yet the cultivators at the higher levels possessed much keener insight and considered far more. It was clear that most great virtuous masters practiced the Path of Qi, while only one practiced the Path of Force. This showed how difficult the latter method was to cultivate. Besides, since one could already cultivate one’s own method to the highest realms, why seek out a method of Force that was not yet complete?

More than two hundred armed helicopters followed the tanks as they charged forward, firing all the way. Dense streams of bullets swept over them. Any Kuomintang soldier struck in the body would be torn into several pieces, with chunks of flesh flying everywhere.

At that moment, Lin Feng and Cao Shuijing also saw the person surrounded by the crowd. He was a young man of about twenty-four or twenty-five, dressed in rags so tattered that even if he had been thrown into a garbage heap, no one would have bothered to search through it. His cheeks were sallow, and his eyes held a trace of fear, yet his features were exceptionally delicate.

“Third Brother!” Wei Feng and Wei Zhi cried out together. By then, both men were already weeping uncontrollably.

Although Lin Xifan and Li Yuqi had done nothing in the room, Lin Xifan still felt that meeting Li Yuqi’s mother now was like facing someone after having taken liberties with her daughter. He was somewhat afraid to see Li’s mother, and his manner was noticeably awkward.

“I’m speechless...” Lu Feiyang closed his eyes and stopped paying attention to Li Zhigang. He began considering whether he should go to the bank tomorrow and send some money home. Now that he had money, should he buy a house in Shangjing City? Living in the dormitory was inconvenient in the end.

“That’s right. If not for him, you probably would never have seen me again.” Zhu Er spoke solemnly, and in an instant his expression became grave.

The rules of the ring required participants to stop once victory was clear, so no lives were lost. After all, many people had not truly come to fight for the Divine Jade. Most were merely there for the excitement, taking the opportunity to spar with one another and probe each other’s abilities. They had no intention of risking their lives.

At that moment, all the lights focused on the boxing ring, and the audience grew even more excited. A referee wearing a headset ran into the ring and began introducing the two fighters. The situation was exactly the same as the last time Lin Feng had encountered it. When the referee mentioned that he was an expert from Huaxia, the entire arena once again erupted in shrieks.

You are not a complete executioner. You have desires of your own. Only when you know what you truly want can you swing your blade without hesitation and cut down the enemies who stand in your way.

Hao was so powerful that his skills should not be lacking. Otherwise, he could never have spoken such grand and impassioned words. Mihawk looked forward to this battle even more.

Old Huang had once been a brother who had shared life and death with him. Although the two had lost contact for several years, their brotherly bond had only grown stronger with time.

The players outside, who were still forming teams to farm spider nests, were utterly bewildered. The world channel also fell silent for a moment at the appearance of this player ID before returning to normal.

Afterward, there were always haters claiming that Mo Guinian had powerful backing and insider connections, along with all sorts of other scandalous accusations.

In the end, it was Tao Yuanzhou who set up a studio for her. Only then did she begin posting daily selfies.

Mayor Li and his party left once again in high spirits, while Wang Yong led the company’s entire management team in giving them an enthusiastic send-off.

Wrapped from head to toe, Mo Guinian seemed to belong to a different season from everyone present. Yet she calmly walked past them.

But when it came to certain matters of common sense and interpersonal relations, she revealed the naivety one would expect from a young person.

This was especially true when she faced handsome members of the opposite sex; her instinct for gossip would be drawn out to the fullest.

They returned to the temple that day. To thank the monks for taking them in for so many days, Chen Youyi personally prepared a meal for everyone. The food drove the temple’s monks nearly mad with hunger. It was not only those working in the kitchen who came over after catching the aroma; monks from every corner followed the scent. Whenever there was food available, she distributed it among them.

I may not be in a position to say what I am about to say to you... but I saw the statement you posted today.

The man, still immersed in joy, was stunned. He stared at the snake-shaped carving before him, now shattered into pieces, and froze completely. What had happened?

The gate leading to the underground burial chamber opened, and a figure cloaked entirely in black descended the steps.

The statue sat upright on the concrete floor, facing the open doorway. Under the sunlight, its exquisitely carved eyes glimmered faintly.
