Hearing the sounds coming from outside, Lin Yafeng’s heart suddenly tightened.
She glanced nervously toward the door, went around the sofa to open it, and took a deep breath.
She opened the door a crack.
When she saw who was standing outside, she instantly relaxed.
“Oh, Sister-in-law Qin, it’s you!”
Sister-in-law Qin beamed as she handed over the cloth bag in her hand.
“This is what your husband, Old Lu, asked my husband to bring back for you.”
Lin Yafeng accepted it with a smile. “Thank you.”
“Oh, don’t mention it. We’re old neighbors, after all. By the way, have you heard? A teacher from Red Flag Elementary School was just arrested.”
Before Lin Yafeng could say anything, Lu Jiajia came rushing out of the room in a panic...
This spring imperial examination was of the utmost importance to him. How could he not have prepared for it in advance?
Baishan let out a cold laugh. With a mere thought, the spiritual energy radiating from the beam of light suddenly surged, forcing Ke Lixuan back again and again.
The green-haired warrior was surely Ximeng’s ultimate hopeless romantic, her number-one bootlicker, and the ultimate simp.
When Shen Qingqian looked up again, she saw that Shen Qingxiao’s face was flushed an unnatural red. Her heart immediately sank once more.
The man who had been “chasing away the flies” was deeply troubled. In any case, Su Bai was delighted to see her emerge from the gloom so quickly.
At that moment, the dragon’s head had already formed within the Opening Gate among the Eight Gates, while the rest of its body was beginning to take shape elsewhere.

“Don’t worry about what happens to her just yet. Think first about how you’re going to explain this to Boss Ji Lei and Master Mo,” Xu Hong reminded him.
Nanshan Academy was the pillar of the Chen Dynasty, while the Medical Hall was a sacred sanctuary in the hearts of physicians. As its hall master, she naturally possessed extraordinary medical skills. Having inherited the art of medicine from the former hall master, she was no less accomplished.
Whenever he saw this scene, an urge to destroy everything would rise uncontrollably from the depths of his heart.
Perhaps because I pitied the other person for still being a child, I unexpectedly felt a trace of compassion.
A scraping sound rang out, and the surrounding light suddenly dimmed. The baby lay in Liu Genqing’s arms, seemingly sensing that it had escaped the jolting danger and was temporarily safe.
“Yes. Don’t be surprised. I have no expectations of your marksmanship, let alone your physical fitness. Just go through the motions, and I’ll give you a passing grade. Then you can get lost!” The captain spoke quietly as he gazed out the window.
The young man was completely stumped by Hao Tiantian. His face turned bright red as he gasped for breath. The onlookers, watching the two bicker like children, could not help feeling sorry for him.
Yet in Ruhe’s eyes, his pale and feeble defense sounded more like an attempt to excuse himself.
But he had asked the doctor, who said it was caused by depression. His ex-wife simply thought too much. He had once told her not to trouble herself over nothing and to sleep obediently at bedtime, just as he did.
Today’s meeting had come completely out of the blue. His father had traveled all the way back from abroad at Tang Wen’s father Tang Chengze’s invitation, solely to settle the final wedding date.
As Old Li spoke, he nodded and tucked his hands into his sleeves, still maintaining his floating position in midair.
She had not seen Chen Zhiyan for a long time. Some time ago, Chen Zhiyan had been sent abroad to attend an academic conference and had only returned in the past couple of days.
As Third Young Master Ye ate, he noticed Cheng Anya glaring at him with flames in her eyes, as though she wanted to swallow him whole. He paused, raised an eyebrow, and took another bite of his chicken wing.
“Let’s go back.” After the Grand Ghost General finished speaking, he said nothing more and simply rode his horse away.
Daoist Qianding had merely served as the domestic martial-arts instructor for the reserve members of the War Wolf Special Forces. He had no idea that many of those he trained would be selected for the unit; he thought they were just ordinary soldiers undergoing training.
After several days, a pure and limpid aura suddenly burst forth from Jiang Zaiyuan’s body. It filled him from head to toe, making him let out an involuntary cry of comfort. Only afterward did he calm down and begin circulating the power that had been completely transformed into primordial force.
“So you’re saying this move can’t block the Peacock, but it can block me?” Qu Chenyu still looked doubtful. Tilting her head, she said, “I still don’t believe it.” Her gaze drifted downward, lingering over Jiang Yao’s throat and chest. She looked as though she wanted to try again.
“It was nowhere near the situation described in the scouts’ report, where all forces had supposedly been concentrated. Old Adviser Gu and I believe the commander of District A was worried that, if they launched an all-out assault before the exercise ended, they probably wouldn’t be able to win.”

The tremendous noise alerted Bai Ye and Su Man, who were nearby. The two stepped out through the moon gate. Su Man pressed her lips together; he had guessed that Mo Shitian would be unable to restrain himself and would come looking for Su Ruyu in the middle of the night.
“This will do!” Looking at the vast open ground below, Lin Fan could not help revealing a smile. There were no monsters anywhere around the clearing, so killing the Demonflame Beast King before him here was still within reach.
The voice was ethereal, now distant and now near. Lei Zhan thought Old Dragon was calling him, so he used his spiritual sense to look toward him. But Old Dragon was meditating with his eyes closed. The voice had not come from him.
At that moment, Li Xiaolong and Tang Mu of the Hua’an Bureau had surrounded the fair-skinned young man from both sides. This time, they absolutely could not let the two demons escape again.
Naturally, not everyone was willing to accept such a dazzling display by Ji Jida. The one who objected was He Shi, the second son among the Four Young Scoundrels. He had painstakingly laid a trap meant to drive Ji Jida into utter desperation, never imagining that Ji Jida would end up winning over Wu Meimei, one of the Four Campus Beauties, and make such a spectacular comeback.
“Ready? I’m ready.” Jian Fan pursed her lips. Could it be that everyone knows I’m being summoned by Assistant Liao tomorrow? I’m going there to be reprimanded, so why is everyone smiling as though I’m going to collect a bonus?
“Leave fifteen disciples below the mid-Mysterious Rank behind. Bind every last one of the others. That is my bottom line!” Mo Bai said, casting a sidelong glance at the bald man in the valley.
A heavy snort pulled Dong Xueqing and Lu Qixin back from their mutual embarrassment, and they once again focused all their attention on Lu Wantian.
“There’s bread in the car. Go wait for me there.” Jiang Shuai pulled out his car keys and tossed them into Lian Yifan’s hand.
The surface of the pool was perfectly still. He examined it carefully, and suddenly a golden tail flashed across the water.
The Jade Bureau Shrine lay far to the south, separated from the Northwest Bridge by a considerable distance. We returned to the carriage, and it proceeded along the Jin River.
“You guessed correctly, but you no longer have a chance!” a voice suddenly sounded beside the three infiltrators huddled together. Yet they could not see who had spoken.
Tian Zhili stroked Ren Pengfei’s head, his eyes brimming with tears, but he did not dare say a word. Zuo Jing tugged at his sleeve, and together they lifted Ren Pengfei and placed him in the medical vehicle.
The major news stories that had surfaced from time to time not long ago had also begun to disappear. The dominant voices in the financial world were instead looking back on last year and looking ahead to this one, while one viewpoint was being expressed with particular clarity:
Correction.
