Volume One, Chapter 31: Boy, You Even Deceive Your Elders

If the Fatty thought the previous sentence was a hallucination, he certainly did not think so this time. Yet, such a reality was utterly impossible to accept. The Fatty’s mouth hung open wider and wider, almost enough to reveal his duodenum.

Burning with suppressed rage, the old man’s posture shifted erratically, as if he were ready to tear Zhang Tianyang to pieces at any moment. He had completely lost his composure, bearing no resemblance to the head of a long-standing noble family.

Furthermore, regarding the university graduates recruited domestically, could it really be said they were inferior to those who studied abroad? Given that they were all capable of passing university entrance exams, how much of a difference could there really be?

Dozens of vines lashed through the air, striking down all the monsters that were about to touch Fairy Xiao.

The biggest problem now is that investment projects are growing ever larger while liquid capital is becoming increasingly scarce; meanwhile, domestic investments are multiplying, yet hard currencies like the US dollar are dwindling.

The Elf King fell silent, and with her silence, the structure—which was a palace in appearance but a Tree of Life in reality—sank into a strange stillness. Even the light filtering into the space dimmed slightly.

The figure was familiar and exuded an eerie aura, which left me feeling bewildered. Summoning my courage, I slowly walked toward where the figure stood. Before I could even get close, the figure drifted out on its own.

We didn’t need to look at the caller ID to guess that the person calling was the Eighth Virtuous Prince. As soon as Zhuzi heard the phone ring, he became excited, eager to answer it immediately.

Could it be that his previous attempts to infiltrate the underground palace, during which he failed to strike at the giant dragon, were also related to this so-called "rule"? And what exactly was this rule?

At the office, Tong Bing had tried to inquire about Captain Wang, but because the incident had occurred within the workplace, the staff remained tight-lipped and unwilling to speak of it.

"No," Jenny intended to try. This was her last chance; if she didn't attempt it, she would face the removal of her symbol of beauty.

"What is it that the Princess Consort wishes to ask?" Seeing Tang Yeshuang’s solemn expression, Su Le furrowed her brows in concern, seemingly realizing the gravity of the matter.

The flowers, once ravaged by the storm, were now in full bloom, as if the shattered state they were in that day had been nothing but a dream.

Xiao Jin had wanted to stop her, but upon being met with the predatory glare in Dong Yajie’s eyes, his hand stopped mid-air.

This was not a good omen. Su Le had been the one to drive Liu Lian’an away, so why did she feel that he was the one most wronged in this whole affair?

Ling Yufeng could not bear the sight of the two acting with such intimate disregard for others. With a cold face, he turned and carried Su Qiancheng upstairs, with Chen Chen following naturally behind.

In my dream, there was a man who called himself the Heaven-Patrolling Underworld Emperor. He was incredibly annoying, and in the end, I had foolishly taken him as my master. It truly was a frustrating dream.

Patriarch Liu Tian, having reached this point, saw no reason to keep up the charade. Provoked by Zhao Xun, he retreated two steps before a murderous glint surged in his eyes, and he issued orders to his subordinates.

Nangong Chen canceled all his work for the coming days, coordinating everything through his assistant, while he stayed at home, never leaving her side.

Although Milan had brought out a jade cicada from Jiyaxuan that was priced at market value, the two subsequent pieces from the Qing Dynasty Imperial Kiln were massive windfalls worth nearly five million each, and the acquisition cost had been practically zero. This championship was undoubtedly Jiyaxuan’s. Milan, Xin Rong, and the other Jiyaxuan team members cheered in delight.

Ling Lanyu glanced at Liang Luo with disdain. "Tch, I can’t be bothered to talk to you," she said, preoccupied with eating her rations.

However, I still knew a thing or two about his situation—which military academy he attended, which military base he was interning at, and so on.

Qin Jiu couldn't help but rub his finger carefully over it. The moment he made contact, the young master let out a sharp hiss of pain, his body recoiling and trembling uncontrollably.

"Oh, sister, be careful, it wouldn't be good if you fell," she said, leaning in closer while calculating how to give her a subtle shove.

"What do you mean? Can't you tell? I'm saving you the trouble of carrying a burden. Mo Mo’s parents entrusted him to my care, so naturally, I must take him to a safe place. As for you lot..." Veriel’s gaze turned cold, a wicked, mocking smile playing on his lips.

When Li Yaojie was sleeping on his desk, a masked person walked into the classroom, but Li Yaojie was already asleep. Li Yaojie had actually been looking for the masked person, but the masked person had arrived a step too late.

"The eldest sister is here!" the words of another veteran cadre who had just arrived reminded everyone in the room.

Lin Jiachun’s father wondered: Is Li Yaojie treating me right now? Why do I feel a force working on my body? What is going on? And why is Li Yaojie closing his eyes and doing nothing at all?

Just when Chu Yun thought Chong Xuxian wouldn't answer, the latter couldn't help but smile bitterly.

As they were speaking, the sound of a horn blared, and Lu Yang came speeding toward them in his sports car, moving like a whirlwind.

Liao Xuebing knew there was more to the story and decided to take charge of the matter. The Ah San Clinic was less than a thousand meters from the Vermillion Bird Martial Arts School; he couldn't afford to have any hidden dangers lurking within his own territory.

A dirty stray dog suddenly darted out from a trash can and rushed toward the wheels. Liao Xuebing hurriedly slowed down and turned the steering wheel, his car nearly swerving to the side.

After finishing their work, the aunts sat on the bench to rest. Li Yifeng prepared to tidy up before taking them out for a meal.

A bottomless rift cracked open in the ground, and many police and military forces fell into it. Out of an expeditionary force of over three thousand, a third were lost in an instant.

Consequently, everyone present fell silent, though they occasionally cast venomous glares to express their inner dissatisfaction.

Thinking of this, I was stumped again. Since managing the company, I had always taken unconventional paths, focusing on internet publicity. I didn't have many connections in formal media, so I hadn't built up a network.

With the support of the sword formation from Jin Li and about five or six others, the situation stabilized for a moment.
