Volume 1, Chapter 54: See When I Send a Matchmaker to Your Door

Li Zhi'an took Cheng Xi directly out of the palace. Cheng Xi glanced at him from the side; Li Zhi'an’s almond-shaped eyes were like a cold, deep pool, dark and unfathomable. It seemed he was even angrier than she was.

Suddenly, Cheng Xi smiled. Though the words of the Duchess of Dingguo had irritated her somewhat, when someone beside you is angrier than you, your own anger seems to fade.

Cao Cao felt a sharp pang in his heart, a fleeting shadow of sorrow passing across his face before he swiftly turned his head toward Dong Zhao, signaling him to say something to smooth the situation.

“Would you like it if I gave you this at that time?” Jiang Bo said playfully, a slight smile curling at the corner of his lips.

The original inscriptions read: To offer sword to gods and flowers. Truly wishing to drown in fine wine. The royal family's predicament shall be resolved by us. And I too dream of pursuing the musketeer’s path.

Indeed, Fu Jia had only been here a few days, yet each day she prepared nourishing meals for Cheng Xi without repetition, accompanied her on outings to lift her spirits, and found countless ways to make her happy.

From the outside, Cao Pi’s residence resembled that of most officials, with nothing particularly distinctive. Yet upon entering the courtyard, Cao Chong felt a sudden brightness before his eyes.

After cultivating this technique, one could summon multiple corporeal doppelgängers, each a tangible entity.

Wealth and splendor lay before him, yet the man with the sword grew fierce with anger, turning around sharply and staring fiercely at Wei Yu.

“Don’t talk nonsense. I only helped a classmate, after all, I was the class monitor in high school and just wanted to help him get home. What’s so serious about that?” Upon hearing this, Wang Xin’s expression changed immediately, for he saw Chu Shiyu standing right beside him.

Under the game’s prescribed tactics, flawlessly executed by Pharaoh King, Ellie was suppressed from the very start.

Tao You lowered her gaze, glancing at the still-warm insulated box in her hand. She placed it gently on a nearby chair, then picked up an unopened bottle of mineral water left by Song Yimian. Opening it, she feigned carelessness and splashed it toward the boy wearing a basketball jersey.

By now, over a thousand people had gathered inside. Other major factions’ areas were somewhat better, but the Tenth District was crowded and bustling. Arguments frequently broke out over seat disputes.

Consort Xiao had never seen him angry before; she was so frightened she stood frozen, opening her mouth but unable to utter a word.

“You bastard, my uncle just told me all the despicable things you did. Speak! Why did you do this? Did you ever consider my feelings when you acted like that?” Guan Chuling’s voice on the phone was clearly filled with fury.

After escaping, Xie Yuqing raised her gun again, aiming at the assassin opposite her. The gunshot rang out—but it was not fired by Xie Yuqing.

“Let’s go and take a look,” Sister Li Yue said, instructing Tieshui to lead the way toward the main hall. As they walked, she pondered quietly; she had an uneasy feeling that the Zheng family was in serious trouble this time.

“Then go and inform Madam Qu and Aunt Hua. I’ll call my grandmother,” Sister Li Yue said to Nian Lan’er.

“It’s been two years. Many of our brothers have died untimely deaths. We should honor those who have passed. Come, let us toast to our fallen brothers—may the departed rest in peace in the afterlife.” Saying this, she led the group in pouring wine onto the ground.

Moses was so engrossed in examining the electric wire that he was completely unaware of the landlady’s proactive approach. Perhaps that’s why many computer geeks are so emotionally detached.

Soon after, Madam Zheng hurried away. Sister Li Yue watched her retreating figure, frowning slightly. Perhaps that matter from a past life had resurfaced? It was hard to say.

At that moment, she chatted casually with Chen Guofeng, mentioning that when the Northern Desert Falcons came tonight, he must be sure to include her. Chen Guofeng naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
