Chapter Forty-Eight: The Battle of True Feelings—Defeated by You

“Nan Gong Jinyu, what did you just say?” Ruo Xi clearly heard what Nan Gong Jinyu had said moments ago.

Qiao Husheng waved his hand generously and walked off, leaving Shi Jian and Qiao Yu feeling utterly disheartened.

They only saw Ling Yao display a dazzling array of moves, bewildering to the eyes, and in the blink of an eye, the battle was over, with Yan Shiming’s men lying on the ground, groaning in pain.

Moreover, hundreds of thousands were watching in the live stream. Not even a single word was said to them; hiding inside the container was simply unacceptable.

When Mo Jin returned to the children's dental department floor, he saw the door to Director Su Mu’s office slightly ajar. Smiling faintly, Mo Jin pushed the door open and entered.

The captain of the guard and the courier station head, Cao Deli, exchanged glances, then reluctantly agreed and left.

Speaking as he did, he walked to one side and gave Shen Yanhao a sycophantic smile. These people were simply not to be offended.

“Your Highness, this time we have deeply offended the demon clan. In the future, I’m afraid we must strengthen our defenses,” said Fan Hailong, the Dragon King of the Waves.

Here, information could be bought and fighting was forbidden, but what about beyond this place? Who could guarantee their survival?

At the meeting where Xiao City forced Qin Mu to resign, Wang Mingtang’s defense of Xiao City, upon reflection, was actually helping Qin Mu.

Inferior martial arts only strengthen the body but cannot cultivate true qi. Superior martial arts can cultivate true qi, and they are divided into three tiers: Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Chen Jiu’s heart was resolute. He decided to use his “golden finger” from his past life, even if it meant altering this world. He would not tolerate any more harm coming to those he cared about.

San Xiu followed Du Heng’s gaze toward the gloves and gently nodded, his eyes filled with sorrow.

At that moment, in Yu Ye’s mind, it was as if a massive ancient bell was being struck by a wooden hammer, producing a deep rumbling sound that shook his entire body, terrifying and soul-stirring.

As expected, things unfolded as Xiao Mo anticipated. Only a little over a hundred people came, and after selection, only ninety-three remained. It was better than nothing. Xiao Mo wasn’t too disappointed; as his territory expanded, the population would grow, and among the many, there would surely be those skilled in water.

Suddenly, a powerful devouring force surged from within the animal skin, voraciously consuming Lin Fei’s blood.

It was still that osmanthus grove. Still that courtyard covered in climbing roses. Still that melody. Still that young master Yu.

Under the watchful eyes of Wang Chongyang and Deng En, Qin Fuhan, dressed simply and elegantly, lightly stepped down from the carriage.

Hearing this, not only did Ma Jun’s eyes light up, but the assembled ministers were also secretly delighted. If Xiao Mo’s plan came to fruition, then with sufficient materials, an army could be rapidly equipped.

But today, Ping Ping’s words made him feel as if he were meeting her for the first time. From her speech, he sensed her sincere affection for him. He was both moved and ashamed, speechless for a long moment.

Huang Yuan smiled at everyone, then followed Li Ang toward a distant cliff. The others said nothing further and quietly followed. In the dark sky, the steep cliff appeared blurred; only when the cold moonlight shone down at noon could the protruding rocks be clearly seen.

“Don’t force it too much; let fate decide,” Elder Zhuo said. Though he deeply hoped to obtain such jade, satisfying customers and indulging his own eyes, whether or not it existed was beyond anyone’s say.

The five-dimensional space vanished. Yang Dongqing’s hand remained on the surface of the mercury sphere, his gaze fixed on the evolving galaxy.

“Attention! The precise term is violation!” Yan Bihui flicked the armrest with his finger, issuing a reminder.

Yet, in front of so many people, what else could he do but silently bear his bitterness?

The twenty-first form was called the Squatting Stance, a sword-holding crouch. A simple crouch with legs together was one move, but to warrant separate explanation meant this squat was no ordinary one.

Amid their laughter, the four great brothels had already determined their rankings. The madam of Tianxiang Brothel bought all the instruments for the Four Talented Scholars’ ensemble for one hundred thousand gold coins. Though she still smiled, her steps faltered, and who knew what thoughts lay in her heart.

Ruth thought briefly before stepping inside. Sure enough, as soon as she entered, the concealed door behind her closed softly. Ruth was not surprised and continued walking forward.

“Damn it, why doesn’t the Grand Qin’s Records of Customs mention these?” After understanding, Murong complained nonstop to Huliguang as they headed to Xun Rizhao’s lodging. To him, the people from Wanzhou and the barbarian tribes of Haixi looked nearly identical, only their features were softer.

It was probably clear even to Wen Jiayu herself that, in terms of family background, she and Shen Mingyi were worlds apart.

“Gu Yi, Gu Yi is still waiting for you to come back, and aren’t you going to explain the news?” Tao Yao tried to divert his attention.

There were jewelry, antiques, limited-edition luxury goods, bonds, and the precious medicinal herbs Lin Yu desired.

After parting ways, Wang Sheng carried the vegetables back home. Unsurprisingly, Wang Jianguo and Wang Qian had not yet returned.

Jiang Nansun said no more, staring intently at Zhang Anren. Seeing him hesitate with his wallet in hand only deepened her disappointment.

Truly a remarkably clever person, focusing all his thoughts in the right place, deducing everything.

On the morning of October 5th, Shen Mingyi got up early, put on a tank top and shorts, ran two kilometers outside the school, drove the Audi back to campus, then showered and changed into casual clothes.

Ding Junqi felt uncertain about those words—not because of any reason, but simply because he didn’t quite believe them.

However, the money didn’t stay long in his account. Over time, under Goldman Sachs’ powerful management, the acquisition of Olkus shares and investments was already settled, only awaiting fund transfer.

For good people, such actions were warranted. Such old scoundrels fully deserved their fate; had they thought about their end when committing wicked deeds?

“No, send it away,” he said, turning to leave. Passing by Leng Yan, he casually instructed.

Those beauties laughed heartily, leaning forward and back, finding the incident with Madam Zeng and the Tang family simply hilarious.

Zhou Ran bent down, eyes shifting left and right over the Sudoku puzzle on the screen, fingers tapping numbers after a while.

Whether his words were true or not, Huan Tian naturally knew. Having received the nameless one’s promise, Huan Tian was overjoyed. Nothing could please him more than this.
