Chapter 35: Dining

When Ning Chu arrived, Ning Xingxian and the others were already there, as was Sun Hongda. "Mr. Sun, I am truly sorry about what happened last time. We are here today to make amends. Ansheng, pour a drink for Mr. Sun and keep him company."

Ansheng forced a smile and picked up the bottle to fill Sun Hongda’s glass. "Mr. Sun, I’m sorry about last time; I was just a bit intoxicated."

Sun Hongda ignored her, turning instead to Ning Xingxian. "Didn't you say your eldest daughter was coming too? Where is she?" If he could play with someone President Tantai had already handled...

"Uncle, please, no..." Lu Xia cried out, shaking her head frantically. She clutched Lu Cang’s hand, desperately trying to pull it back onto her shoulder. But Lu Cang’s hand retreated with such firm, absolute resolve that no matter how much strength she exerted, she could not hold him back in the slightest.

Half an hour later, Liu Tianhao, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu began jogging around the perimeter of the former Punu camp. After completing ten kilometers, they continued with basic martial arts training. Since the six top generals had been taken away by Lu Bu, they were left without sparring partners.

First of all, it turned out You You was merely a junior college student, not some genius at all. Her persona as an academic high-achiever was questioned by her classmates, who even posted her failed exams and makeup test permits to prove the truth.

The vastness of the area was far beyond what could be perceived from the outside; it seemed as if the entire palace was a treasure of spatial dimensions.

"Dog meat? I won't eat it! Do you have any wild game like rabbit or roe deer?" Liu Tianhao asked. Coming from a later era, he believed dogs were empathetic creatures and therefore could not bring himself to eat them.

As the Jiang family gates swung open, a dozen bodyguards surrounded Jue Zhiyuan, completely encircling the people at the entrance.

However, no one noticed that the distribution of the exotic beasts, initially chaotic, was gradually showing signs of converging toward the sealed site.

In truth, even if his abilities were to awaken, he still could not become the head of the Huo family. After all, the gap between him and the true head of the Huo family was not merely a small one.

No sooner had the words been spoken than a ferocious lion suddenly bolted, slamming into the iron bars of the window with a loud bang.

She really didn't dare eat any more. She rolled her eyes, feeling that both her heart and her mouth were overly sweetened from having consumed too much sugar.

Look, you are now inviting into your home a person who has never felt the warmth of family, who has been abandoned by kin, bullied by classmates, surrounded by malice and filled with disdain, and who has shut her heart away because she cannot feel the kindness of the world.

From the very beginning, Mo Keke’s act of issuing a death mission to Bai Yujing was simply using him. Everything that followed was an extension of that point. Now, hearing that the Master was in trouble, she urged Bai Yujing to save him—wasn't she just trying to manipulate his heart again?

The daggers of resentment and hatred being shot at him from their eyes were so intense they felt like they could actually kill him. Unable to withstand the barrage of glares, Bai Zhan grabbed a textbook from the desk and fled in a panic out the back door.

Just as the sword tip pierced the Fourth Prince’s protective aura and was about to strike his throat, the sound of a jade pendant shattering rang out. A circular screen of light expanded around the Fourth Prince, deflecting the green-flame-enveloped sword tip.

Bai Xueran couldn't help but chuckle softly, her eyes filled with tenderness as she gently stroked her soft hair.

An Ran still didn't understand Duoyi’s abstract body language; let alone her, sometimes even Mo Lin couldn't grasp what Duoyi was trying to say.

In the backseat, Jiang Wan leaned back with exhaustion written all over her face, closing her eyes to rest. Zhao Qing sat beside her, watching her state with a moment of hesitation, but ultimately, she kept her silence.

"Alright!" The taxi driver, seeing that he could no longer persuade them, stopped talking. He nodded in agreement and pressed the start button on the meter.

For the past few days, Mo Lin had been dropping hints to Alton, trying to find out if what Peiyingaide said was true, yet he felt his own curiosity was perhaps a bit excessive.
