Chapter 126: Ruan Qingtian's Partner

Returning to Old Man Lame’s house, he declared that to find the Ehuang Spring, we first had to prepare some insect and poison repellents. With that, his diminutive figure began bustling about, inside and out.

He kept his word, at least.

Lu Xiaoxiao was in a foul mood, sitting alone in the corner of the room, lost in dark contemplation.

Fatty Zuo, who loathed Old Man Lame, whispered to me, "That son of a bitch Lame-leg has burdened me with a heavy karmic debt. Once we’re done with the Ehuang Spring..."

Seeing Father Gu so blatantly favor Cheng Xueping, Gu Meng was utterly devastated. He was indifferent to her, but could he really be so cold toward Gu Beichen as well?

Following his gaze, the crowd instantly grasped who he was alluding to, and a collective gasp of cold air rippled through the room.

Lin Hu knew that his brother-in-law had arranged for people to come because he was worried that, having never been to a big city, he might struggle with certain matters.

Because the old couple had already passed away by then, there was naturally no one left to mention the younger sister to the three brothers.

Just when she believed he had finally settled down and was ready to build a life with her, he shattered that illusion once more.

Upon entering the street, however, the scene was entirely different from what he had imagined. Jiraiya kept his eyes hidden beneath the brim of his hat, scanning his surroundings with vigilance, his expression quite grave.

Leng Kong merely cast a glance, and then, with a bitter expression, spilled everything he knew like beans from a bag.

After the manager left, Qiao Si sank into silence. He recalled the man he had seen at the recording site that day.

Although he didn't dislike Su Dashan, he truly didn't feel much affection for this older cousin.

He was so crazed that he abandoned all defense of his vital head, choosing to endure a critical strike just to land a blow on his opponent.

Lin Tianyao was not only clever but also exceptionally quick-witted; he viewed issues with great comprehensiveness and was the first to guess this possibility.

Since participants were only allowed to challenge opponents within five ranks of themselves, and the victor could choose to sit out three rounds, those who fought first were not at much of a disadvantage. Once someone took the lead, others immediately followed.

After speaking, they headed toward the market. They wandered back and forth, feeling that everything they saw was wonderful.

He would maintain it himself, though in the future, this order might well be built upon a foundation of fear.

It must be said that in this day and age, there is no friendship or romance that cannot be shattered by League of Legends. No matter how good the relationship, if you feed in a match, well, even if you were my own father, I’d want to bash your head in.

"What are you doing?" He gripped her hand with such force that Qing Rang gasped, looking up abruptly. Biting her lip, tears began to fall onto the ground, and Yu Zichen suddenly released his hold.

"Don't come any closer." Yan Xiaoxiao glared at him with wary eyes, not forgetting to brandish the wine bottle in her hand.

The courtyards here were far more elegant and much larger than those in the Fifth District, second only to the residences of the deacon elders in the First District.

She had assumed Prince Ning would be in the Qinxin Garden, but she hadn't expected him to stay the night at the Jing Garden again. After Xian Yu announced her arrival, Ruo Xin entered the room where he was sleeping.

Past the hour of the Pig, Ruo Xin changed into a night-suit, left the room the housekeeper had assigned her in the backyard, and slipped toward her destination.

"Who will make it into the top eight, and who will leave this stage? Let us wait and see!" Jin Tian declared heavily.

Helan Yao hadn't demanded Helan Ting’s earrings from Long Jinyu just to look at them; she intended to use them to threaten Helan Ting. Even if Helan Ting hadn't done that thing, once the Crown Prince learned that she was the one who had brought that letter into the palace, her precarious favor would surely turn into pure hatred.

Section Chief Li looked at Deputy Commander Miao and Chief of Staff Xie and said, "In my view, the Japanese 11th Brigade intends to occupy Osaka and Linxi. Their 73rd Regiment was initially afraid of an attack from us, but surely they have received word of the night raids carried out by our other garrison forces."

"I’m just afraid that eventually, you’ll be the one asking me to support you." Helan Yao tapped Helan Zhiyuan on the head and, taking his hand, led him toward her room.
