Chapter 154: Handing it over to the State! (Part Two)
Inside the restaurant, Shen He lightly tapped his fingers on the table, seemingly considering the recent proposal in earnest.
Chen Zhao sat across from him, staring at him without blinking, his gaze as affectionate as if he were looking at his own wife.
Zhang Ling'er stood quietly to the side, waiting for his reply, a gentle smile seemingly forever resting on her face.
The three of them formed a rather bizarre scene right there in the restaurant.
A moment later, Shen He picked up the wine glass in front of him.
After exchanging pleasantries with the wealthy young man he was meeting for the second time, Wang Dali shifted his gaze to the only black man present.
Judging solely from the applause at the scene, that metaphor had been brilliant—like a celestial being descending from the beyond, the absolute finishing touch.
Failing to see Chu Luoyi fly into a rage as she had wished, Qingxue was consumed by a sudden surge of anger.
The chieftain of the Thunder Giants went to awaken the slumbering Ice Dragon. To everyone's surprise, the awakened dragon was uncharacteristically calm, offering no roaring reprimand as to why it had been roused from its deep sleep.
"Who is your sect master?" Yehan looked at the rugged man, instantly feeling a sense of familiarity; such a robust physique was rarely seen in the Jidan Kingdom. Seeing that the burly man actually recognized Yehan, Mu Qingqing and Ling Qingqiu quickly hurried over to sit nearby.
After finishing his porridge, Yi Fan summoned a resentment ghost, gave it a few instructions, grabbed several talisman storage pouches, and stepped out the door. The journey was peaceful; occasionally, he would spot a few skeletal remains, but he walked past them as if they weren't even there.
Wang Dali, the mastermind behind the scenes, was currently discussing the matter with Tony Stark, the mastermind's assistant.
As for Gu Yuxi, she was merely at the Eternal Realm and possessed no spatial domain; returning to the Buddha Gate by herself was simply an absolute impossibility.
Zhengcheng was taken aback. Such a good thing? He had always intended to sneak into Kumogakure, and though he originally thought he had lost the chance, things had suddenly taken a bright turn... Just as he was about to agree, he realized something was amiss.
"Whoa, why are there so many people?" After getting everything set up, Mingye finally noticed the live stream's online viewer count. Despite having experienced the broadcasts of many major tournaments, his heart couldn't help but leap in astonishment at the sight of this number.
Consequently, the three of them retreated along with a large number of disciples from the Five Elements Sect back to the sect's gates, entered their respective dwelling caves, and began a period of closed-door cultivation.
Seeing Chuni Shini act in such a manner, Ayla van Hemstra felt more than half of her anger subside.
Though it was merely a distance of three steps, Chou Wuyi felt as though it were a road longer than three years could ever traverse. Musha collapsed into Elder Yesheng's arms with a smile. Chou Wuyi's arm, stretched out to pull her back, hung foolishly and rigidly in the air, unable to advance even half an inch.
I retrieved an introductory manual on unorthodox water magic from the Five-Element Bracelet. I had studied this previously, so it shouldn't be too difficult, but I couldn't say the same for a dummy like Hu Ting.
"Kotori, since when did you become so heartless? Weren't you trying to save all the Spirits through dating?" Lu Yu opened his eyes and demanded loudly.
The crux of the matter was that tonight's gathering could not be kept under wraps. If these few individuals openly opposed it, refusing to go and demanding alternative conditions, it would inevitably arouse the sect's suspicion regarding their loyalty.
"I can see that! Senior Yun, what kind of attacks do you think Nahalin can fend off with her current strength using this move?" I asked with a smile.
"Old man, I can show it to you now. I didn't show it to you before because one piece didn't look good on its own; it only looks nice when two pieces are put together..." Muhan said with a beaming smile as he looked at the old man Wuwei, deliberately raising his voice.
Upon hearing the youth's voice, Moqie's attack noticeably paused. At that moment, he felt a faint, lingering trace of unease.
After a period of planning and calculation, Sima Chang mustered his troops in Yezhou. He did not call upon the garrison troops of the northern frontier or the defenders of Xuantong, but rather the mercenaries he had hired with his own money.
Upon reaching their destination, the group had no choice but to pitch tents and rest. There were numerous mosquitoes and venomous insects on the mountain, making it quite difficult to get a good rest. They simply had to endure the hardship, and Ning Xia had no right to complain—she wasn't an invited guest here, but a captive dragged along by force.
