Chapter 139: Score Estimation
At one o’clock in the afternoon, the students who remained in the classroom to study gradually began to slump down one after another. Lin Mengqiu also felt a bit sleepy; she lowered her head slightly, covering her mouth with her small hand as she let out a gentle yawn. Chen Shian had already put away his math book, preparing to meditate quietly. Hearing the girl yawn, he turned to look at her.
“Class monitor, aren’t you going to take a nap?” he asked.
“I’m not tired.”
“But you just yawned.”
When she finally adjusted, she realized that inside the box was a necklace—shining, sparkling necklace. Her sister hadn’t even given her time to handle her parents’ funeral before sending her to the Kaguya Marquis’ estate, where she endured so much scorn. If her parents were still alive, they would never allow her to suffer such grievances.
“No need to make it complicated. If you’re hungry, just go eat. As long as you work seriously when it’s time to work,” Mu An’an said indifferently. She wasn’t some ruthless boss demanding overtime.
In the end, it was Mu Yi who couldn’t bear it any longer. After inquiring about the two, and learning they were Mu An’an’s apprentices, he taught them the Star Map, allowing them to cultivate peacefully while waiting for Mu An’an’s return.
However, due to a comment she made about someone she liked, he inexplicably extended an invitation to Ning Jing.
“A stab wound to the left chest—judging by the bleeding, it’s likely a fatal injury to the heart,” Matsuda said, hands in pockets as he stepped forward. From the injury’s location and blood loss alone, he could roughly deduce the cause of death.
The butler glanced at the distant grandfather clock, about to speak, when outside, Gu Junhan and Tang Xiao walked into the courtyard one after the other.
They had existed longer than the seven great empires, dozens of kingdoms, and countless duchies of the Western European continent. They had amassed countless resources and wealth, established numerous rules and orders... In some respects, the Society to Aid the World was comparable to an empire, even surpassing empires in stature.
His plan had already failed. He was supposed to confess first, then the two would go on a honeymoon, living sweetly and happily.
What she wanted to say was that she and Fu Jing had taken safety precautions, but then she recalled that there had been one or two times when, caught up in passion, they seemed to have overlooked those details.
A respected senior should at least be given some face, to highlight one’s humility and show the necessary respect.
“Could it be that these people simply found Daisy pretty and came to abduct her?” Wang Long guessed, continuing to watch and see what these people would say next.
“Who are you? Show yourself. Hiding invisibly in front of me is useless. Your unfamiliar aura told me you arrived; the water everywhere in the air revealed your shape. If I’m not mistaken, you’re a snake!” Bai Long scrutinized Zheng Xuan’s location, speaking as if the invisibility were nonexistent.
Only after work was done would this dog return to Yan Jiangning’s side, underscoring Yan’s rare status as the dog’s caretaker.
“Heh, I guess by the second batch you’ll have nearly bought up the central district of the imperial capital in the game,” the bearded guest remarked.
“No need, I take the bus,” she refused without hesitation, waving goodbye before leaving the student council.
“Wang Long, are you alright?” Lin Qingya quickly crouched down, concerned, looking at Wang Long who held his head in his hands.
Standing nearby, Li Dali, vice general manager of the Power Herb Company, watched coldly, his heart full of bitterness.
And now, he needed to make the Demon Emperor believe it was the Azure Emperor who had killed Ao Tianchi, so that the Demon Emperor and Azure Emperor would go to war.
After more than ten minutes of effort, they finally landed safely outside room 808. Looking through the window into the room, Han Yang was stunned.
After eating, she returned to the sofa, watching TV while absentmindedly touching her toenails.
