Chapter 20: Detention

Gu Sheng was startled; she dreaded such situations the most. Trembling, she instinctively moved to the side and looked up to meet a familiar face.

It was Cheng Yan.

Cheng Yan tried to grab Gu Sheng’s arm but missed, so she could only sob, “Sheng Sheng, you finally came.”

In that moment, Gu Sheng immediately understood—Cheng Yan must have been the one who suggested to Zhao Qinglang to call her for help. However...

A single line filled with tenderness made Tian Liuer obediently lower her head, and Tian Tian’s heart trembled. So that was why Tian Liuer had followed him so recklessly—there was a reason behind it.

With that, Tian Tian took out a sheet of rice paper. It was some of the fine paper she had previously obtained from Mu Qinghan. Knowing they were going to establish a fish pond, she planned to draw some distribution maps so the team leaders working would better understand what she envisioned.

Damn it! Anzi Rui, do you think you’re so merciful and humane? After you violated me, I still have to thank you for your magnanimity in taking me as a concubine?

“You eavesdropped on my phone call!” Finally catching her in the act, Mi You pointed at him, fuming.

A chill seeped through her skin into her blood, even causing a sharp ache in her heart. In truth, I still love you as always, and I still care for you.

Alas... a fatherless child is truly pitiful, but a fatherless child with a foolish and silly mother and a bootlicking older brother is even more pitiful!

Then, Zhiyun waved her hand to shoo everyone away and buried her head in sleep once more. This time, she dreamt peacefully through the entire night until dawn.

When the section chief finally got the report, he looked at it and asked, “Who wrote this? Reason for repair: Loud noise? Isn’t that terrifying? Is it really that exaggerated?”

● Regarding the moon, many folktales and myths circulate among the people. Among them are tales of Chang’e flying to the moon and Zhu Yuanzhang’s uprising against the Yuan dynasty.

This year, Feng Zizai, now thirty-three, still wore the same patched, filthy hemp clothes as he did in Hangzhou four years ago. At his waist hung the so-called ancestral large wine gourd. Two battle axes were hidden discreetly—no one would suspect such a shabby man harbored weapons.

Lin Yu sat cross-legged on the ground. The three great immortal cultivators quietly released a faint divine aura, and instantly, the hidden spiritual energy in the space surged into his body.

I hurriedly crouched at the cave entrance to peek inside—the darkness was impenetrable. Where were the lights and the figure of Fatty San?

“Ah!” Su Xiong suddenly sprang up, a brilliant glow of martial energy flickering on his fist. He too had touched the threshold of becoming a martial master.

“Teacher” is a common form of address in journalism. Upon meeting reporters, it is customary to call them “Teacher So-and-so” rather than “Reporter So-and-so.”

Lei Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Well, these cars were fine when our own people raced for fun, but racing against Chen Zi’an, none of them held up.

People often say, “A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold,” and that’s the truth—not just some ancient bridal chamber cliché.

Wang Hua looked at Meng Qi’s gloomy expression and felt a wave of satisfaction. He spoke to comfort him, but his tone sounded more like a provocation.

“Even if I were to ambush you, it would be only after killing the Sea King. Moreover, I’m the only martial sovereign in the Eastern Sect. If I ambushed those below sovereign level, what could I do? Wouldn’t I just be handing you over to be slaughtered? You two are martial sovereigns yourselves.” Feng Dingyun smiled calmly.

“What about the ancient ancestor’s true name?” The elder struggled to suppress the urge to strangle Gao Qing and asked again. He decided to give Gao Qing one last chance; if he still didn’t know, the elder would be forced to kill him. The smile on Gao Qing’s face pierced the elder’s heart like a dagger.

Qingshan County is named so because within its borders lies a vast mountain range stretching hundreds of miles—the Great Green Mountains.

Yu Sheng grew even more nervous. Damn it, this person has never experienced the torment of chickens and rabbits sharing a cage; he must have misunderstood the situation.
