Chapter 154 The Start of School
"Big brother, can I really become a sage like Confucius?" Zhao Cheng's breathing grew rapid, his blood boiling like a pot of rolling water.
Zhao Su nodded solemnly. "You certainly can, and you will be even greater than Confucius."
Throughout the imperial court and among the common people, there was currently only one universally acknowledged sage, and that was Confucius.
If Zhao...
"Are the three of you going in, or not? Jiuer and the others have already gone inside," Lan Qimian said, kindly breaking the silence as she looked at the three of them standing by the doorway, staring at each other in a trance.
"I can tell." Xi Yizheng nodded with a sense of gratification. He had actually managed to pass the senior technical certification for diamond design and carving in just three short years.
"Thank you, wife. From now on, I will definitely stay far, far away from that jinx. The moment I see even her shadow, I'll take a detour," Wu Haoming promised repeatedly before a smile finally returned to Zhu Zhu's face.
Cheng Linting's footwork was as illusory as a phantom. With a single step of his left foot, he flashed behind Yeya, his hands clasped behind his back as though strolling through a leisurely garden. At that moment, Shangguan Zhi let out a stern shout, his body leaping into the air as he brought his hands together, grasping two golden maces and smashing them down furiously toward Cheng Linting.
Finally, they managed to find a decent nightclub. Weijiacheng knew that by this time of night, Cici, that night owl, was bound to be hungry for some sustenance.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you put on quite an act. Don't tell me you knew nothing about this," Yiyi said coldly.
On the other end of the phone, Xu Fenfen hesitated, her halting and hesitant tone sending a subtle sinking sensation straight to Luo Jinshi's heart. Someone was looking for her, and judging by Xu Fenfen's tone, it had to be an unwelcome visitor.
Cheng Nuo knew that Xiao Yang already had plans to marry Yiyi. Adversity reveals true feelings; during Xiao Yang's most difficult days, Yiyi had stayed by his side through thick and thin, helping him pull through. Xiao Yang was a deeply loyal and affectionate person; how could she bear to leave him caught in the middle and in a difficult position?
Xin Kan was unwilling to let him escape, but his lightness skill fell short. After chasing him for ten zhang or so, he completely lost sight of Shangguan Yun.
Inside his residence, after burning a stick of incense before the memorial tablets of his younger brother Nishiyama Asakawa and Zhang Zheng respectively, Nishiyama Shiumei rinsed his hands with clean water and began to enjoy his evening meal.
Lu Shaoyun did not return until three days later. Over the past three days, he had not gone to look for Gu Jinhuan, yet he had learned everything there was to know about her.
Chen Xiuyuan raised his eyelids to glance at Karote, ignoring him completely, yet the thoroughly displeased expression on his face laid his inner thoughts bare for all to see.
Jack returned disheveled and furious, so he headed to the casino to blow off some steam. No sooner had he stepped inside than he lost every last cent he had on him. "Motherfucker!" he muttered, rubbing his curly hair in frustration as he cursed his way out. Hong Xizhen had already returned to South Korea; returning in this state would make it difficult to explain things to Mrs. Hong, so he had no choice but to head back to the company first.
He Lu started the engine, while Chu Hemeng simply stared blankly out toward the horizon, accompanied by the noisy chirping of early summer insects.
As if afraid the world wasn't in enough chaos, Liu Yingying tightly linked her arm through Xing Haodong's, looking exceptionally smug.
"Yes, it was just picking something up along the way, nothing special." Li Er's words sounded a bit boastful, but upon reflection, compared to Li Er's military achievements in the Northeast, it truly amounted to very little, and everyone's doubts vanished.
Chu Hemeng fluttered her eyelashes in agitation, and the long-suppressed longing surged forth like a breached dike.
The two rushed to the hospital mentioned over the phone. The moment she stepped inside, Xiaofei felt her legs turn to jelly; she dared neither to go further nor to imagine what had happened, and was ultimately half-carried and half-dragged inside by Qiu Bin.
With that, Chen Xiuyuan wore a sorrowful expression, his eyes growing somewhat moist and his gaze distant, as if recalling some heartbreaking and devastating past event.
The more Ling Hanxue thought about it, the angrier she became, ultimately pinning all the blame entirely on Feng Qingcheng.
