Chapter Seventy-Six: Just Playing Around

Lin Li kicked the iron gate with a heavy thud, making it shudder and clang loudly. He sneered and shouted, “Li the Severed Finger, I, Lin Li, have come to gamble!” After a moment, the auto repair shop’s gate was flung open from within, and a crowd of robust men surged out. Though they lacked sunglasses and suits—those flashy accoutrements—they appeared even more agile and sharp.

These men adopted their former titles in the Soulmaster Arena: Dai Mubai was known as the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, Oscar as the Sausage Dealer, and Ma Hongjun as the Evil Fire Phoenix. Night Sacrifice always suspected they were capable of such deeds, so he dared not approach the three old men too closely, fearing they might make a move against him in secret.

Wielding authority with nothing but a feather as their token, and with a gang of brothers relentlessly pummeling their old master with wild fists, the rules of the Secretariat were thrown into disarray. Zhao Guangyi, newly appointed as the Secretariat Minister, tossed all those chaotic regulations aside.

No rigid requirements were enforced; all that was needed was a mentor’s signature and a report submitted for staff review. But why was the handwriting so sloppy? The accounts at the front were written far more elegantly than the records at the back… Could it really be because there was no light? But with so many flashlights around, it was improbable that all were lost or out of power.

Five ghostly faces flew forth. The couple, being larger targets and closer to the burly man, attracted most of the faces; only one ghost face flew toward Night Sacrifice.

This time, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo did not trespass upon Dugu Bo’s Eyes of Ice and Fire, but instead visited the Dugu Residence in Sunset City.

Yet, Yi Hai showed no intention of stopping, preparing to assault once more. In his mind, today’s events would not end here—Lu Tianming was doomed without a doubt.

Hu Yang curled his lips into a cold sneer, his eyes at this moment as icy as a frozen pond, utterly devoid of warmth. He walked out of the grand hall in silent desolation.

Father Jiang was likely deeply disappointed in him. If news of his health issues were to spread, the consequences would be dire.

A century had passed, and not only had moss grown upon that stone, but grass had sprouted there as well. After days of sunny weather, the blades of grass were dehydrated and wilted. Tang Lichuan felt a surge of emotion as he approached, hesitating at the door just as Xiao Gu stepped out.

In the most difficult days before his rebirth, even though the elder generation had cut ties over grandmother’s affairs, his brothers still secretly lent Lu Yiming money.

Reporting to the Heavenly Court, he was issued a set of clothes to wear for dealing with a monkey.

When Cold Water Song passed away, Cold Bai Feng was eight years old. At that time, Sea View City had no so-called city lord’s wife, and Lord Luo Ai struggled to maintain his position, facing many hardships. Later, Jin Guangjian arrived and married Luo Ai.

Victini’s power was peculiar; its infinite blue bar alone was enticing, meaning its danger level was extremely high.

Wang Shen thought to himself that his aunt had taught him well, and smiled at Zhang Qingqing. But Zhang Qingqing signaled with her eyes that he must not accept the sword, and Wang Shen understood.

Wang Jiming’s expression at ZFF was a clear shake of the head in his heart; those who wore their emotions on their faces rarely achieved great things.

At this moment, Ah Shan Nu, still armored, approached the former emperor’s tomb alone, carrying a jar of wine. His face was solemn, as if immersed in deep water. He quietly set down the jar, kowtowed three times with reverence, and turned away.

“Of course things like this happen. Common wisdom says wealth seldom lasts beyond three generations, poverty seldom beyond five. No family prospers forever, nor does any languish eternally. Prosperity begets decline, adversity brings resurgence. Heaven’s way replenishes what is lacking and diminishes what is excessive. It’s like the law of conservation of energy; in the unseen, everything is balanced.”
