As for the seats on the right, they were occupied by Cao Bohao, head of the Cao family in Scarlet Sun Main City, along with Cao Weifang and Cao Weiyuan.

After all, it was difficult for a single man, constantly buried in work, to remember his own birthday. This year was no exception.

Though he said that, Yushan naturally knew that this jade was different as he gazed at the green radiance flowing like water.

“Exactly. Fortune and misfortune never seek us out on their own; we bring them upon ourselves.” Liu Tianshui made a show of preparing to deal with Yushan.

Ye Xing had not attacked the crazed Rising Sun Dongsheng out of cruelty. It was simply that this was no time for leniency. Whether Rising Sun Dongsheng was truly mad or merely pretending, keeping him alive would always leave behind a tremendous hidden danger. Mercy now would only put Ye Xing at a disadvantage in the future.

At that moment, another burst of footsteps came from the doorway. Liu Yahang hurried in, his eyes immediately locking onto the bearded middle-aged man beside Liu Nuoning.

Why did such a low purchase price soar tenfold or even twentyfold once the product reached the dining table? The successive markups imposed by distributors were one reason, but the most important was that shelling them was far too troublesome.

Outside the reception hall, fierce battles raged across the courtyard, accompanied by thunderous explosions. The people of White Cloud City were locked in brutal combat with the members of the Blackiron Sect.

“It’s you? What are you doing here? And where have you been hiding this past month? What kind of coach are you?” Su Danhong fired off question after question, visibly annoyed when she realized it was Chen Jing.

He was young, talented, and possessed a solid material foundation. Although he knew that everything he had now came from his younger brother, he did not mind. They were bound by blood, after all. He knew that, if given the chance, he could keep pace with him.

Only then, as he watched the palace doors close, did the Central Ancestor secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Since this conflict was unavoidable for everyone, they might as well fight until both sides were destroyed. That would still be better than allowing the realm to fall into the hands of a foreign race.

The Mysterious Origin Sect certainly did not possess such grandeur. This was Southern Nest, the Du family’s stronghold. How could the Mysterious Origin Sect dare come knocking alone to challenge them? Let alone a mere inner disciple of the sect—even its patriarch would have to address Old Master Du respectfully as Senior Fellow Daoist.

It regretted everything now. If only it had known, it would never have chosen Xi Linlang as its primary target. A beauty with such an enchanting bearing could leave a man dizzy with nothing more than a coquettish glance, to say nothing of the fact that she possessed both talent and beauty.

Protected on all sides by skeleton soldiers, the scouts had paid with the lives of five comrades to uncover this information.

Yue Yun had even halted production on his web series for the past few days, giving the crew a holiday and handing out movie tickets so that everyone could go see the film.

The old prince had come under imperial orders to question Xie Mao, so naturally they needed to find a proper place where Xie Mao could kneel and listen obediently to his reprimand and answer his questions.

He had only just thrown down The End of Shadows: A Shattered Dream when a ribbon covered in anti-magic sigils, propelled by an unknown force, suddenly bound him tightly.

Setting everything else aside, the mere fact that they had invited the wolf into their house—allowing their king, ministers, nobles, and common people to be seized by the people of Wu and sent to the front lines as slave labor and cannon fodder—would be enough to keep the Kingdom of Tillytune from holding its head high for centuries to come.

The man said nothing. He merely lowered his head and glanced at the hands resting across his waist and abdomen. His fingernails were brushed with a faint peach-pink tint, clean to an almost unbelievable degree.

Judging from the inscription and the collector’s seal of the Far-Reaching Studio, only Young Marshal Zhang’s exceptionally close relationship with Zhang Daqian could have qualified him to obtain two monumental splash-color masterpieces.

Hong Kong’s film industry had always outpaced that of the mainland. In China, anyone honored with the title of Best Director could practically dominate the directing world.

“Disciple, why is it that every time I see you, you’re bullying someone?” an exasperated voice came from behind Mo Xi.

“Forget it. I can’t win an argument with you!” Su Mo gave up and had no intention of continuing the dispute with Li Yaotian. On the contrary, after talking with him for a while, Su Mo actually felt much better.

The training grounds lay in the outskirts of Hong Kong, not far from the city center. They had been converted from a massive factory and contained not only various professional arenas and training equipment, but also a combat ring and an antique wooden dojo.

When it came to attack power, probably no one could rival Su Mu. That was why Xing Tian’s profession was so strange.

“I’m fine.” Wanyun smiled at me and replied softly. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and there seemed to be a hint of avoidance in her eyes.

Father Kim still had not woken by the afternoon, and Seon-ya began to grow worried. To keep them from fretting, Mother Kim told them to go home first and promised to call them once Father Kim awoke. They could not persuade her otherwise and had no choice but to leave.

Jack did not expose the truth either. He simply went along with Carl’s words and told Rose to leave first. Although Rose pleaded bitterly to go with Jack, he ultimately pushed her aboard the ship.

“Heh heh, I surrender. Isn’t that enough?” Yuan Zhize was thoroughly defeated by my twisted logic and hurriedly tucked in his tail, seeking peace with me. The coachman seemed to have heard our conversation and deliberately slowed the carriage, giving us more time to wander through this splendid sea of lights.

Seon-ya happily took the white touchscreen phone and admired it with delight. “Wow, it’s really beautiful. Thank you, President.” The president was not actually as bad as he appeared on the surface. He was quite kind to people, or at least that was what Seon-ya thought.

“Um… did Orpheus take us the wrong way? Why do I feel as though we’ve been here before?” The familiar stone walls of the cave prompted me to voice the thought.

“Haha, shh… I know! Haha, come on, let’s hurry and tell Father. He’ll probably be so happy when he hears that he’ll jump for joy,” Xuanyuan Ze said excitedly.

“If I tell you, can you help me make it happen? Never mind. Being able to drag you down with me means I haven’t lost out too badly.” Luo Man lifted her pretty face. In the darkness, she could clearly see Qin Feng’s sharply defined features.

As she watched the door slowly open once more, Ling Qing smiled. She had never been this happy before. At last, there was still a chance for her final wish to come true.
