Chapter 34: Someone Comes Looking for Trouble

Xie Yixing had been busy all night, but instead of receiving her praise, he was scolded, which left him feeling quite displeased.

"There was clearly an easy path," he asked, unable to comprehend her choice. "Why didn't you take it?"

"What easy path? One paved by you?" Jiang Yunyao’s eyes were firm. "Even if the road to success is filled with thorns, those thorns are the unique scenery of that journey."

Xie Yixing remained silent.

"Director Zhou, I think I’ll just observe from here," Gu Mingxian said. Without waiting for Zhou Lingbo’s approval, he grabbed a chair and sat down to the side.

The arms expert had eaten some food and regained a bit of strength, but at the mention of the word "flattened," he shuddered, a look of terror appearing in his eyes as he glanced timidly at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng wanted to strike while the iron was hot and continue refining, but unfortunately, the remaining fourth-grade spirit tools were insufficient to forge an eighth-grade one. Besides, it was late, and he decided to head back to his quarters in the city to get some sleep and recharge.

There were many people on the deck. Lin Cheng found a spot along the edge, leaning against the railing as he gazed toward the motherland, whose coastline was no longer visible. He wondered if he would ever have the chance to return. A sense of melancholy stirred in his heart.

Hua Shao chuckled bitterly. Thinking about it, he realized these were official sect NPCs, and players were only ever meant to be on the receiving end of their wrath.

If that were the case, would he harbor deep resentment toward Ye Fengluo, the Medicine King, for failing to provide the medicine to cure his mother? Would he contemplate killing him?

Hearing Parker put it that way, I felt more confident. If nothing unexpected happened, Marshal Baroque’s troops were surely doomed to lose this time.

Hua Lang was somewhat worried and hurriedly asked if there was any problem. Wen Meng was anxious and had no idea how to answer Hua Lang’s question.

Chen Hao could not refuse Meng Rubing, and he understood her position. He would certainly be very busy for a while and rarely home. Since Meng Rubing didn't know anyone in Haichuan, these tasks would be a good way for her to pass the time.

Churchill’s response was subtle; he neither promised non-interference nor explicitly stated that he would intervene, effectively kicking the problem right back to Tang Jian.

It’s not about the chicken; it’s about the fact that when a guest visits for the first time, you have to make them feel at home, don't you think?

Tossing his phone aside, Nie Zhao changed his clothes and hurried to the door in his slippers.

Down his straight collarbones, further and further, a trail of marks was left behind, looking rather suggestive.

It was designed specifically for students with special abilities to train and spar. The interior was forged from a special metal capable of self-repair, possessing extreme durability.

She had met Xi Lanyu only a handful of times, and most of her understanding of him came from her own conjectures.

After seeing Wei off, we chatted for a while. Lao Kao and the others gradually hopped into cars heading home. Man Shao was the toughest of us; he casually hailed a taxi, waved goodbye, and left. The rest of us headed back to our respective homes to find our mothers.

After Huang Feihong finished rambling through the miscellaneous announcements, he told us to pack our things for winter break. Everything felt so wonderful that even Huang Feihong seemed unusually adorable.

This fluid, seamless display of skill left not only the two brothers stunned, but Mother Hao and the wet nurse as well.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Faced with Zhao Jianguo’s reprimand, Sun Liwei’s face turned alternating shades of blue and red, and he dared not say another word.

Her delicate, jade-like hands were not accustomed to such work. She stood by the stove, dazed for half an hour, until the cook told her that chicken soup was simmering in the pot. All she had to do was boil the noodles, blanch the greens, and pour the chicken soup over them—a simple and delicious bowl of chicken noodle soup.

Qi Yao knew that Ruyun’s words carried weight and felt secretly relieved. This saved her the trouble of having to beat around the bush.

After Liu Hui left with Engineer Jiang, Lu Di brought back a professional accountant from the talent market. She offered a higher salary than Liu Hui's and even established an additional incentive system for the accountant.
