Volume 1, Chapter 63: Wang Rushan

Jiang Buyue handed her payment QR code to Tang Xiangqin and said, "Transfer the money!"

Hearing this, Tang Xiangqin grew hesitant and fidgety.

"I lost... How is this possible!" Tang Xiangqin's face turned ashen, filled with deep regret. He had thought victory was certain, never expecting to lose so miserably. "Miserable" didn't even begin to cover it—it was an absolute wipeout, defeated in less than three seconds.

Luo Yunyao and Qin Jinghao exchanged glances, their eyes full of the question: "Does it look like most of the troops are actually still in Qingyue?"

On it was a family photo from Jiang Nianshi's home, though it was quite old. Jiang Nianshi was only twelve years old at the time, and two elderly people were also in the picture.

As the crowd was charging forward, they suddenly heard a series of wails coming from ahead, sending a chill through their hearts.

Seeing strands of hair falling off the top of her head, Su Qing, for some reason, thought of the hardships and bitterness of these days along with the events of the past. She felt a surreal, dreamlike illusion. Closing her eyes, tears welled up and spilled from the corners of her eyes.

Qin Mo's image in Qiu Chi's eyes had completely changed. Initially, she thought he was an honest man, but who would have thought—tsk tsk tsk. She must make sure not to learn any bad habits from him.

With a sharp "slap," a hand came down on the solid wood desk. The next second, Doctor Wang's face distorted instantly. He hurriedly shook his aching hand, his face turning completely red, yet he managed to hold back a scream.

Adjusting the office's air conditioner to a comfortable temperature, Jiang Nianshi glanced at it for a brief moment, feeling that its state today was somewhat abnormal.

Chang Le's eyes widened to the size of bronze bells, his pupils trembling like ripples stirred by the wind on the surface of the Pingjin River.

A new quest named "The Horn of Counterattack" appeared in the quest list. Clicking it revealed the quest description.

On the 4th arena stage, the Blade Emperor, who was in poor condition, was easily locked onto by the Frost Sorcerer. With his movement speed drastically reduced, he was soon knocked out of the arena.

Yu Xin carried Gui Gu and ran a great distance. She deliberately pretended to be careless, letting her blood drip onto Gui Gu. To her surprise, the visibly weakened Gui Gu instantly recovered. As Gui Gu sat on the ground to regulate her breathing, her complexion gradually returned to normal.

Glancing at the man in black who was being driven into a panicked retreat by the Earth-Rending Explosion Bear, Yinzhen resolutely chose to leave.

Cheng Yurou stared blankly at his retreating figure, looking somewhat flustered and at a loss. Apologize for what? After a long while, she finally realized that he must be referring to the marriage engagement they had almost entered into.

Even though needles and thread were piercing her flesh at that moment, and the pain had left her practically unable to breathe, she still desperately forced herself to endure it when facing Yu Pingsheng.

The white mist was seemingly torn apart by a pair of hands, and a world of extreme brilliance unfolded before Lin Qingyue's eyes.

"Teacher Luo, I've checked. The second-year students are no match for Wanyue," Zhan Yunge added.

Clearly, they seemed to have the upper hand when they first arrived, but after just a few sentences, they had lost their ground. How pathetic, really.

When the news reached Jiankang, the entire imperial court of the Song Dynasty was thrown into a panic. Last year, they lost Yizhou and Jingshang, suffering casualties of fifty to sixty thousand troops and losing a third of their tax revenue. Now the Qian army had begun attacking Huainan—what on earth should they do?

Exhausted and starving, the crowd now had to contend with the biting cold. Daring not to light a fire for fear of attracting the creatures from the previous night, they could only hug themselves and stamp their feet to keep warm.

"Hah! You guys are just finding out? I knew it ages ago. The Qin family is simply jealous of the Ye family's booming business. Just think about what kind of standing the Ye family has in Fengling City right now," another person chimed in.

Then, under Chen凯's expectant gaze, he noticed that the coin did not roll across the ground as it usually did.

This news was utterly shocking to him—the two dominant superpowers of Yunfeng City actually originated from the same root.
