Chapter 106: Whoever Works Is a Fool

“Key verification? Key verification... If I want to complete this key verification, I must find a way to confirm whether my team members are involved.”

As Li Wanbai pondered this key verification while walking away, three streets over, Quan Hao spoke softly.

No one answered his question. Even with his handsome face staring them down, the production crew remained silent.

Quan Hao clicked his tongue and paced back and forth along the bustling street.

“Xiao Yunfei, look at the mess you’ve caused,” Luo Yumei hissed angrily from beside him, glaring fiercely and scolding him.

“No need. Have Hei Wa bring the food here. I have many matters to attend to,” Xia Jian decisively refused Long Zhu’s offer.

“Though your Daoist skills are formidable, you’re far too arrogant. It seems that in the Dragon Submersion Sect, you’ve learned not only cultivation and Daoist arts but also your own conceit!” Li Jiang said coldly.

Before dawn, the gates of Xinghua City swung open wide as the Gao Li army filed out in formation. A dozen or so Xi tribe soldiers led the vanguard, while Deputy General Zheng Shenyong commanded twenty thousand Gao Li cavalrymen to sneakily attack the Great Khitan army’s camp outside the city.

Within moments, a middle-aged man clad in a white trench coat appeared before Xiao Yunfei. His strikingly handsome features caused Xiao Yunfei to momentarily lose focus.

Soon after, a van with flashing police lights pulled up behind Xia Jian’s Mercedes. Four uniformed officers jumped out. Though the village was already dimly lit, Xia Jian immediately recognized the one leading them—it was Lei Yu, the chief of Pingyang Town Police Station.

Xia Jian’s eyes blurred as he gazed upon Yao Junli’s alluring figure beneath her pajamas. A dormant desire within him stirred once more. Setting down his glass, he lunged forward like a hungry wolf pouncing on a lamb.

Bai Shi’s fate was truly cruel. He had been trapped by Wan Li in the Wanfa Sect for sixteen years, constantly drained of his essence by the Scarlet Treasure Spirit Snake. Just as Long Luo and Ku Yin rescued him and he left Meituo Temple, he was captured again. Judging by appearances, the Black Snake Spirit Lord was also feeding on his energy to cultivate demonic arts.

What comes next? Wen Xin still had plans, much like before but with subtle differences. This time, he would challenge masters from every corner and genuinely compete with the prodigies of the Northwestern Domain. But before that, Wen Xin had one matter left to settle.

Qian Duoduo heard those words amidst her sorrow, crying and laughing simultaneously. Her rich expressions could easily make her a leading actress.

When the lively Ji Junlan suddenly succumbed to poison and died, the stone chamber erupted into chaos as doubts and questions flew in every direction.

Ru Huan narrowed her eyes slightly. Though it was midsummer, locking eyes with Yu Lin Xingli made her feel a chill creep over her body.

Zhang Zhuzi had not initially come to seek traditional martial arts guidance from Huo Yuanjia. He coveted Huo Yuanjia’s exquisite close-quarters battle skills. To improve his survival chances in future operations, Zhang Zhuzi persistently begged Huo Yuanjia to teach him CQB techniques.

The transmission of Daoist teachings was the most vital foundation of any sect. If even this cornerstone was on the verge of collapse, what future could the sect possibly have?

Whether it was to survive a wild brawl with the natives in this time-space or, as he hoped, to join the great PLA, being able to receive supplies from the “Props Team” in this green lacquer zone was a valuable asset.

Nor could it be ruled out that Liu Changming truly had no other options and knew no one else close to him.

“Damn it, they got off easy!” Hao Dajian cursed, but he reluctantly agreed with Zhao Zhiyi and the others.

Hearing this, Xia Jiang suddenly realized his oversight. How could he have forgotten to use martial arts? Just one palm strike—would this chunk of char siu still be breathing?

He held her close, burying his face in her chest, feeling her breath. “Haixin, will you stay by my side forever?” he murmured softly.
