Wang Yu’s eyes widened in anger, unsure of what was happening on the other end, as the person answering the phone changed to Director Fu.
“Qiao Qiao, you must come back to Gang City immediately.”
“Uncle, you’ve misunderstood. I came to Gang City on business, and incidentally to earn foreign exchange, which benefits the country's development,” Ye Qiaoqiao explained, knowing exactly how to appease Director Fu. “Next time you feel unwell, just ask me directly. Since we’re family, there’s no need for formalities.”
Director Fu was momentarily stunned; how had he not realized Ye Qiaoqiao was so magnanimous? He hadn’t wanted to communicate directly with his daughter-in-law, so he had asked his own wife to intervene.
“My stepmother’s relationship with Jue Chuan was never good, and with so many intermediaries, the message inevitably got distorted. I...”
Although Yan Xiaxia was lazy and only half-heartedly followed rules, she had already memorized all the essentials.
“Lang’er, do you have any ideas?” Du Gu Yifang looked toward a young man named Duan Lang.
For several days, he had been working to remove the malignant curse from Yuan Xiyao, while the mystics delivered food to Bai Kai.
The deputy general accepted the orders with a salute and hurried away; time could not be wasted now.
They were utterly stunned, frozen in place, unsure how to proceed.
Usually, aside from two children and caretakers, few people visited the kennels, so Yan Xiaxia was surprised when Madam Gong and her husband arrived.
The three announcements shocked netizens—not just for their content, but the format alone left them speechless.
Ye Kai finally relaxed a bit; the cold discomfort she imposed was lifted, his body lightened, and he surged forward with renewed strength.
Xing Shuang had just caught her breath but grew tense again upon hearing her stepson was coming to pay respects.

However, Gong Xiang was nowhere in sight; by then he had already circled to stand before him.
His sarcasm was clear not only to Lan Xi but to many disciples of the Tian Zhao Alliance present as well.
Yet, once your master ascends to the Purple Rank and steadily strengthens, the limits of divine fire will similarly rise.
Meow Meow bit her lip; now that she couldn’t remember how to get home, her parents would surely be worried. She had to find a way to locate them.
Qin Shifeng had said, “You don’t look exactly like A Ruo, but when you stand there, you are a living, breathing A Ruo.” Now she understood—Ye Qing wasn’t Ye Mingxuan, but when he stood there, he embodied Ye Mingxuan, carrying his essence just as Zi Jin carried A Ruo’s.
Jian Yi worried that if he touched this spear, the murderous intent within him might awaken, dragging him back into those bloody, chaotic days. He couldn’t betray Mo Xunxun again.
“Yao Yao, is this… the night-glow jade sent by that Mr. Murong?” Madame Pei entered from outside, surprised by the glowing jade.
The meaning was clear: Jian Yi agreed they could stay with the Kang family, so they might consider accepting Jian Yi.
“You are originally from the Divine Clan; it’s not something you can simply refuse,” said the Xuan Yuan divine general.
They were too conspicuous together, easy to detect, but if they split up, then in this dark forest, they could move freely—like birds soaring in the sky, fish leaping in the sea. Tian Xiang’s solo combat skills could wreak havoc here.
Seeing all the beggars in the capital, Long Qi felt pity and ordered that those willing to stay could remain, while those who didn’t would be paid to leave.
Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi, and Wu Song were enough to hold the stronghold, deterring invaders and exposing traitors.
The straightforward Li Jianshe finally spoke, “Mom, why say so much? Brother Chang has already completed the admission procedures at the provincial hospital. Are you suggesting we turn back halfway?”
Although it was just a county’s administrative seat, its scale and prosperity justified its title as a major city.

His glasses—anyone who had seen his photos or videos, or followed him, would never forget them.
How could she have forgotten this luminary of traditional Chinese medicine? The He family was the pinnacle of the imperial medical bureau in the last days of the Qing dynasty, masters of acupuncture. The congenital ailment she carried in her mother’s womb was deemed incurable by both Western and Chinese medical experts—only this grandfather saved her for ten years.
She gently twisted her waist, eyes filled with a tender longing, her gaze moist with emotion. She had seen Lin Chong prepare pills for Ximen Qing and longed for him to make one for her as well.
The guardian beasts controlled by the Dark Ring in the mechanical city ceased activity as the Dark Tower was completely destroyed.
Just as he was about to kneel and kowtow, Lin Chong calmly lifted him and helped him to the side.
Yang Zhi watched Lin Chong’s every move from behind, ears perked at his words, silently eavesdropping without expression.
The air was thick with danger. Although Yan Luoxi had been with Li An many times, his frenzied look and rough actions made her extremely nervous—she could find no escape.
“Join Yun Valley’s Thunder Peak?” Li Yan was surprised. He hadn’t expected Wei Jiangdu to approach him with something so unforeseen, but he did not rush to refuse.
Young Yu Songyuan could tell that his aunt had surely thought of him and his family’s plight when looking at Xi’er. After each performance, Yu Yueyue would privately weep as if heartbroken, taking a long time to calm down, which deeply saddened both Yu Songyuan and his brothers.
The suspicion that the shepherd might be linked to demons remained Landon’s hypothesis, unconfirmed, and the shepherd acted cautiously, revealing nothing.
In an instant, although she said nothing, he clearly felt her sever the fragile warmth between them.
As he spoke, Instructor Shen casually raised his wrist, and the ‘jade’ token floated lightly, landing precisely in Lu Wei’s hand.
