Volume 1, Chapter 27: Stirring Hearts Once More

The old man reached into his pocket and produced a lighter.
"Just press this and it ignites! Take it, use it, and thank that young lady for me. If she hadn't stepped in, I would have been paralyzed. It’s an old ailment, and the doctor warned me not to get agitated, but my condition flared up right at that moment."
Li Haixia took the lighter with both hands. "All right, Grandpa, I understand. I will pass on your message."
The old professor smiled happily. Having survived this ordeal, he had come to realize many things. The greatest tragedy in life is to die with money left unspent. If he were lucky enough to return home alive, he would certainly make it up to his family!
Li Haixia knew that lighters were foreign novelties, and the ones used in every household now were...
Deep within the soil of the Medicine God Mountain, a phantom image condensed. It was an old man in grey clothes with grey hair, looking ancient beyond measure. His gaze held the vicissitudes of time and a profound wisdom, as if nothing could escape those sagacious eyes.
"Shimura Yo?! It shouldn't be him; he wouldn't be so foolish!" Chiyo listened to Karura's report and spoke after a moment of reflection.
It was precisely because of this that, until now, no one knew that Chen Zheng was actually very poor at handling these matters—except for Dong Jie.
But did that matter? Because of her presence, if things went as expected, Namikaze Minato would not have to face the scene of his family being destroyed as in the original story.
Inside the rockery, Huang Yuan had completely fused with Luo Yunzhi, mounting her and thrusting relentlessly.
"That depends on Mike." The Chairman of the Earth Shield turned around, looking at CIA Director Mike Pompeo with a smile.
Zhan Mu saw Lin Fei and Leng Ying out of the villa. After they boarded the car and left, they headed to the entrance of Capital University, picked up Fu Chunbo, and the three began their journey to the Wu family estate.
If one only listened to what Chen Zheng was saying, there seemed to be some room for imagination, but if one heard the voice coming through his earpiece, the dialogue didn't sound so pleasant when pieced together.
"Dad, we've hit bedrock!" A young man who looked very much like Li Laohei wiped his sweat and reported the situation.
That entire routine involved intimidation—stating the threats, and inducement—offering generous rewards. Above all, the final act of leading by example greatly dispelled the agents' wariness.

Now, however, things remained but people had changed. Her master was gone, Leng Yu was no longer in this world, and Leng Xiao had betrayed both her master and her, becoming an enemy who constantly sought her life. Qian Qianhui was also missing, her fate unknown. She could not help but be overwhelmed with emotion; she wanted to weep but had no more tears, and memories of the past flooded her mind like a river.
Incongruous with the layout of this military base, Wei Hui did not see the grand scene she had imagined, where a row of experts would sit below while she stood on stage to face their pointed questions.
"Yes, don't worry, I wouldn't dare let my guard down for a single moment!" Zhao Ze replied respectfully.
After the group led by Tang Seng departed, Wang Xi enjoyed a period of true freedom, though the plot inevitably drifted back toward its original trajectory.
Fang Li had previously told He Xi about his predicament. Although He Xi wanted to help, he could provide little practical assistance. Whether in terms of his own strength or the resources at his disposal, he was of little consequence in this world; at best, he could only offer advice to Fang Li.
Daylight gradually broke. Wang Xi felt a dull ache in his head and frowned. He raised a hand to press his temples, only to feel a cold hand touch him.
Hui Deyuan smiled, gave a thumbs-up, and gestured with it in an interesting way, implying without words: brilliant.
Therefore, when Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel looked up at the stained glass, they did not see the visages of saints; instead, it depicted the long history of the Einzbern family as they wandered on the path to the Holy Grail.
Young Master Lin vaguely remembered the dark speck that had been sent flying. He guessed that the person was young and must possess some life-saving spirit or divine artifact. Having fought so hard, they were surely injured and in need of medical attention. Ignoring those behind him, he continued to run toward Wang Xi.
Qin Yue, with Blood Pupil, pressed forward, intending to bypass Lin Ying and rush toward Wan Ling, but was directly blocked by Lin Ying’s outstretched hand.
In particular, the Batwing that Batman had just piloted onto the scene looked packed with black technology.
The problem was, if Qin Yan were really found, the incident of her hitting someone for Chen Yu would stir up the internet, which would easily expose her relationship with Chen Yu and likely have a negative impact on his reputation.
Led by the Commissioner, the officers all returned to the Gotham Police Department from the scene at Wayne Enterprises.
He had recently been curious about the secret behind his wife's restored youth, while also being troubled by his own waning virility.
But the moment he pushed the door open, he saw Zhouzhou wailing loudly. His cries were piercing, as if he had suffered every possible grievance. Lin Xu was trying to coax him, surrounded by several servants.

Old Liu suddenly looked up, moved his limbs, crawled to Li Chengjing, and began to lick his shoes frantically, making the corners of Li Chengjing's mouth twitch uncontrollably.
"Sacred artifacts are truly terrifying; even a fragment is so formidable." Mo Liang felt a lingering fear, thinking back to the scene in his consciousness. Facing the overwhelming will, he had been like duckweed in a vast ocean, unable to withstand even a single impact.
Following a few seconds of brief silence, the rebels immediately erupted like water in a boiling pot.
Lin Zhibai hadn't exerted much energy, spending most of his time watching Nightingale and the others farm and work. However, since the production team was treating everyone to a free barbecue, he was naturally happy to participate.
Li Chengjing frowned, a strong sense of unease rising in his heart, leaving him feeling restless.
Watching the mermaid struggle and try to make its way toward him again, Su Yan thought silently that it was quite persistent.
"Just endure it, Young Master Gang. We really can't do anything to him right now." Someone advised him.
After seeing the person off, Yan Ziqi couldn't stop thinking about the person named Zhong Feng. She always felt inexplicably familiar with this stranger.
"It's best if you remember this lesson. If I ever encounter you doing such heinous things again, there will be no way out," Wang Lin added.
Zhao Feng felt an even stronger visual impact. The way Marquis Guangjun opened his eyes and raised his hand seemed to harmonize with the surrounding environment, radiating a suffocating momentum.
Zhao Zirong was also startled. He turned to look at Liao Chengfei and saw that his face was equally filled with suspicion, yet also betrayed a deep dread that kept him from stepping forward.
Lin Yu frowned, very dissatisfied with Ji Yunchen's actions. He was his own biological son, after all; how could he casually hand him over to someone else to care for?
