Volume 1, Chapter 32: Retreat as a Means of Advance

In the end, Fu Heng was dragged out by three men.

After smoking a pack of cigarettes, he forced himself to calm down.

He could not believe that Bai Xuanxuan, who loved him so much, would be willing to leave him.

It must be—it must be that she had lost her memory.

In any case, her goal was to make the people of the ninja world realize the value of peace; it was certainly not to gossip about the stories of Hashirama and Madara from the old days.

Among those fragments that only time had witnessed and silently recorded, those concerning the Changxin Gate would henceforth also include the figure of Ruan Xueyin.

Having finished healing his wounds the night before and then rushing thousands of miles, he certainly needed sleep, so the question was timely and appropriate. But was it because he himself was sleep-deprived? She felt as though she were dreaming at this moment, whereas she had felt more clear-headed when she was traveling alone.

Just as Tang Wu was feeling puzzled, he felt his body tilt, and he suddenly lost his balance. The excited Chinese teammates around him suddenly grabbed Qu Chuliang’s body horizontally and tossed him high into the air.

He wore a tailored dark gray suit and a burgundy shirt, with a rose tucked into his suit’s breast pocket.

After his words fell, the others at the table looked toward Beihe, all of them wearing strange expressions, the kind of feeling one has when looking at a creature that is not of their own kind.

So, Zheng Jianguo took Audrey to the front gate. Facing the biting north wind under the dim, pre-dawn sky, he had her cover her ears, lit a long string of ten-thousand-shot firecrackers, and ran back to her side, gently pulling her hands away amidst the deafening crackle and pop.

Long Zhanyan walked forward, observing how neatly the items in the shop were arranged—at least, for an ordinary person.

Yun Sheng remained smiling as he set down his chopsticks and slowly chatted with everyone about his transfer operations.

After winning the match, during the waiting time before the next game started, the three of them ate takeout to settle their dinner.

With a sharp snap, colorful confetti rained down from the ceiling, covering Yao Yi and sparkling under the lights.

She lunged forward and pulled hard on the steering wheel, changing the car's trajectory. By this time, Ling Lie had also regained his composure and steadied the wheel.

Caizi handed the phone to Old Hai, only to find him snoring. He placed the phone by Old Hai’s bedside and drifted back into a hazy sleep.

Perhaps for them, this was also their true home, their true sanctuary. After wandering for so long, returning here naturally evoked a sense of warmth.

Yao Yi appeared to have gained a massive advantage on the surface, but in reality, this had also created greater difficulties for his future development.

"Look at that cowardly face of yours. We’ve already escaped, so why the long face?" Seeing Yi Yang’s deathly pale complexion, "Black Three" chuckled and pursed his lips.

However, Xuanyuan Xiao believed that this door was the very barrier that stopped cultivators in their tracks. "Breaking the Dao," as the name implied, meant shattering the Heavenly Dao; if one could not see it, one could not break it, and only by opening this door could one glimpse where the Heavenly Dao lay.

At this moment, Ouyang Pu was also somewhat puzzled. Could that young man really have such a deep background? Interbank lending was not unheard of, but borrowing hundreds of millions at the drop of a hat was likely not easy, and even a bank loan wouldn't be processed in a matter of minutes.

However, would Yao Yi think of this? Obviously, it was impossible for him to think of such an obscure possibility. No human would think that way; only a non-human like Mr. Wall would come up with such a sinister and ruthless scheme.

Driven by intense curiosity, Li Changkong walked toward the temple complex, wandering among them before pushing open the doors of the Mile Hall.

Summoning the Blade of Kings from his storage grid, Tian Ye activated his Eye of Silence to observe his surroundings, but the result left him speechless.
