Chapter 44 (Short Chronicle 2): Symmetrical Ternary

How could it appear that she had already enrolled in a suitable school, yet at the last moment, the school she actually registered for would be vastly different from the one she had “planned” to attend?

“We don’t need that one anymore. You go ahead,” Long Shaofeng, who had caught on, took a deep breath and then fixed his gaze on Chu Yahe’s face, which was also full of confusion, speaking in a calm tone. While speaking, he quickly signaled to Chu Yahe with his eyes.

But it was only resignation—he knew well that sooner or later the truth would come out. Still, people are like this, always deceiving themselves, and when things finally happen, there is almost a sense of relief, not particularly sad.

Everyone grumbled inwardly; this really didn’t seem like the usual style of the Flower City’s strongest fighter. Yet, what the true strength of Flower City’s main force actually looked like, many newcomers had never witnessed.

Xiao Yu frowned slightly. Who knew how much longer the seal in this place could last? After all, the environment had surely corroded it; otherwise, the power of death would not have been seeping out.

Chang Li sized him up for a moment, then nodded. “Get up.” He clenched his right hand into a fist, coughed softly twice, and only then did Fang Xiu and He Jin notice that Chang Li’s face was unusually pale.

She had once thought that the first man she loved would be the man she would spend her life with, but now she had experienced such heartbreak. At this moment, Dongfang Xiaoxue’s heart was truly aching.

At first, Long Shaofeng hadn’t considered this possibility, but the tone and confidence of the young man in the rolled-up sleeves made him realize it immediately.

Tong Tingyu spoke gently—if it had been a pair of ordinary friends, perhaps they would have agreed to her request to dine together.

Seeing the Xianbei army gradually entering the valley, Guo Bin tightened his grip on the Black Dragon Spear. When he saw the highly noble and lavish carriage surrounded by the troops, escorted by the Xianbei cavalry to a third of the way into Shenglong Valley, the vanguard was only a few hundred meters from the mouth of the valley.

Beasts continued to throw themselves at the carriage carrying Ankang and the others, wave after wave. Inside, all they could hear was the thudding of impacts, and the screeching as claws scraped across the copper armor.

Now, only nine ground forces of the Barrow Empire remained scattered across the various star domains of the World Origin Empire, and having lost support from their space fleets, these nine Barrow ground forces had become trapped like fish in a barrel.

Only by killing could order be restored, and those who had once slandered Lord Dongping truly deserved their fate.

He could only exert a portion of his true power as a level-four warrior.

“Is this assassin blind? Why not hit the lower lane?” Qiu Yan, hot-tempered as ever, complained. Sister Huai Ge had traded so much blood down there—a single assassin could have netted a double kill.

Of course, Ankang could only imagine what use a steam engine might have in this ancient era, two thousand five hundred years ago.

The topic had become impossible to suppress, and their couple’s suite scandal was already out in the open, so the solo fans were all caught up in their joy.

Before Consort Feng could finish speaking, a distant thunderclap sounded, startling her so much that her heart raced wildly. Her anger, before she knew it, was completely extinguished by fear.

Connecting the radar to the existing vehicle surveillance and alarm system, Ivan remotely operated the electromagnetic valve to raise the rectangular block from the roof. Within seconds, the radar screen displayed distinct signals.

With the van, Lin Luo could deliver goods directly to Yunhai City, without having to go through Ding De in Qingshan Town.

At last, the Fire Cloud Sect members reluctantly accepted the truth, their faces drained of all color.

Ye Xunhuan carried the sleeping Nika into a room, settled in another, set up a barrier, and began absorbing the spiritual energy brought by the Five-leaf Golden Crystal Grass.

Two blocked Lu Xue’s path, while the others hurried toward the cave entrance, though they knew this escape would quickly lead them back to the building.

The several youths cried out in terror, collapsing to the ground, trembling all over, their eyes vacant and full of fear.

The formation design had been lost, passed down from dynasties preceding the construction of this ancient city over a hundred thousand years ago.

Nan Gong Chuxue and Luna knew something serious had happened; otherwise, Ye Xunhuan would not be so urgent. But there was nothing they could do now, so they brought Zhu Chuan and Ye Zhifan to the Dwarven blacksmith shop to find Adolf.

In just a moment, Lady Immortal He leapt from the Lotus Creek to the shore, three-foot Blue Edge Sword in hand, her eyes fierce and full of anger as she glared at the Green Carp Spirit. In her hand, the blade gleamed coldly in the night, revealing its fine steelwork.

Shi Hao blinked at Purple Mountain Shou, whose face was gentle and kindly; Shi Hao thought to himself that this must be a good person.

He pondered many things, but his pace did not slow, reaching Li Yu’s side. Here, even the body of Chen Dong was barely able to withstand the flames, forcing him to constantly circulate his cultivation technique to resist the external burning.

Just as Ye Tian was conversing with the Devouring Sky Mouse and the Purple Gold Ridge Flood Dragon, distant cries for help suddenly echoed.

As the smoke cleared and drifted away, a hint of helplessness flashed across Xue Chen’s face. He looked up at the starry night sky and sighed softly.

Ye Shinian’s stern rebuke halted the quarrel between Feng Xinglang and Lan Youyou. They all got into Ye Shinian’s more spacious Land Rover.

Before Xue Luo could make sense of things, she was unwilling to rush off and collect that slip of paper with Feng Xinglang.

“Buying two sets is no problem—I don’t need them, it’s up to you what to do.” With this single battle, Boss Fang had earned far too much military merit.

“What’s going on? Why did I sleep so long?” Hua Qi Chen’s consciousness had fully returned.

The single blade was aimed only at Xue Chen; as for himself, he plotted everything from behind the scenes. With so many lackeys to deal with Xue Chen, he could simply sit back and watch, needing not lift a finger himself.
