Chapter 56: Protesting Too Much

The method Lin Wei proposed had not yet been put into practice, and Shen Jize furrowed his brow slightly as he listened.

After pondering over it carefully, however, he truly felt that this approach was remarkably good.

Just as Lin Wei had said, once this method took shape, handling future demolition and relocation projects would become infinitely simpler.

Consequently, they would need to carefully consider how to allocate this resettlement compensation so that people would feel tempted and willingly sign the agreement to move away.

"Thank you, you really are—"

Turning around and catching sight of her, his furrowed brow smoothed out, a wave of warmth rippled through his eyes, and a faint smile touched the corners of his eyes and brows.

After the surge of excitement passed, the temptation was suppressed by reason. Yu Huan took a deep breath, holding it in his chest for dozens of heartbeats before slowly exhaling. He retrieved the manual of cultivation techniques recorded by Hong Shaoyue, selected two targets, and committed their detailed backgrounds to memory before flashing out of the cave.

Yu Huan materialized abruptly before him like a fierce demonic beast. Before Steward Liu could process his disbelief or even have time to think, he stammered and instinctively brandished his blade for one last desperate fight.

"The turmoil of the Xiao family? Heh, since you must return, let me cook a meal for you," Xiao Yu said with reluctance in his voice. Gripping the hand of the still-stunned Xiao Xun'er, he strode toward a nearby restaurant.

Aoba Ba knew he was in the wrong and did not waste any breath on him. Stepping inside, the moment he caught sight of the servants and maidservants all dressed in mourning attire, his heart skipped a beat.

"With those black specks, these must be sesame-filled. There are barely any sesame ones, so how did they all end up in your bowl?" she said, licking her lips.

Xiao Yan embraced Xiao Xun'er from behind Wang Genji, then retrieved a servant contract from his storage ring and handed it to Wang Genji. Trembling with excitement, Wang Genji took the contract and dropped heavily to his knees with a thud.

With a resounding crash, their palms collided, producing a loud sound that echoed through the Hall of Righteousness. This was precisely the sonic boom generated by the clash of their internal energies.

"As expected of a man possessing a system. Without me, you might genuinely have had a chance at seizing the supreme fortune of this world, but what a pity—you met me!" Xiao Yu's eyes flashed with murderous intent. With a sudden flicker of his figure, he sped toward Xiao Huo in the courtyard.

Xuan Yuanhun watched Lu Wei's changes over the years without a word, then closely followed in Lu Wei's footsteps.

Cen Mu and Xiao He were already accustomed to it, both tacitly categorizing his behavior as deliberately trying to make things difficult for Fu Sheng.

As soon as Liu Baotian finished speaking, Zhao Tieli, who had all along been wearing the expression of someone who had stumbled upon a priceless treasure, froze instantly, his eyes staring blankly.

Although Ning Bei was capable of handling both tasks, he always felt that his own writing and painting fell short compared to others.

"Is water-attribute blood Qi really that rare?" Ye Chen asked with some confusion. In his view, weren't all types of blood Qi virtually identical and no different from one another?

Feeling a sharp pain at the back of her head, Su Su pulled out her fiery needle in a fit of rage, fully prepared to fight to the death with Ma Han.

During the fierce battle, Baili Zhaoyang had remained hidden in the dark to observe the situation, and later recounted the whole story to Ziqing, who only then learned that Xiaozhong was trapped in the Fiery Magma Cave.

The light of the sun, the light of the bright moon, the light of the stars—various natural glows surrounded his body, spinning endlessly.

"Are you going to lend it to me or not?" After discussing for a long time and seeing that Fang Yu remained silent, the old man raised an eyebrow and asked.

Shen Yichu had just returned home when she received a call from Han Linjun's mother, insisting that she come over to keep her company the day after tomorrow.

"You need an assistant?" Lian Jue glanced at him sideways. "Very well, I recently met a guy who carries camera equipment and we get along quite well. It should be fine to cover a shift for him," she calculated mentally.

Qi Yuning appraised Long Shi'er. The pictures on the official website had already been breathtaking, but seeing her in person left Qi Yuning even more astounded.

Noticing that they were merely a group of youthful and extraordinarily handsome youths, the previously tense atmosphere relaxed slightly.
