Chapter 54: At a Disadvantage

Player 1128 single-handedly held back Su Ya and Chi Fei, while on the other side, "A Game That Makes Me Younger As I Play" was fighting head-on against "Such A Combat Thrill."

Yu Zhuren was positioned in the back, setting up her sniper rifle. She was not a professional sniper, and coupled with the fast-moving targets and her own hand-trembling caused by intense nervousness, for a moment she did not even dare to pull the trigger.

The situation soon tilted in favor of the blocking squad.

Su Ya grew increasingly anxious.

Once panic set in,

Every year's examinations were even attended by a large number of important members from the Alliance Mansion, and representatives from the "Evil Soul Research Institute"—which had always stood on equal footing with Asura Academy and proclaimed that "technology leads everything"—would also come to observe.

With a single slash, a blade aura as substantial as reality erupted, fiercely meeting Ye Tian's attack head-on.

These were hardly news stories; they were all ancient history, incidents that the media had reported in the past but ultimately managed to suppress.

My geographical knowledge is far from extensive, but even I felt the climate here was somewhat peculiar, perhaps due to the unique geographical conditions that caused such severe polarization.

As he spoke, his other hand had already drawn out three exquisite business cards and handed them to Lan Zhenzhen and the others.

Qingyu looked around. To break out of the encirclement of the Arm-Ape Demons, the only chance lay in targeting the baby apes.

Qin Qingtong reached out to brush away a crumb clinging to the corner of his mouth. Although she felt somewhat at a loss for words, she likewise lacked any standing to condemn such behavior.

Consequently, she ruled out the possibility of anything going on between Lu Yichen and Zhang Xuan, having only called her over to vent her grievances. Yet, given Lu Yichen's demeanor, how could she fail to perceive that there seemed to be some unspeakable, ambiguous relationship between her long-time friend and Zhang Xuan?

Brother Hu sneered inwardly. He possessed one redeeming quality: though perhaps lacking in intellect, he was not the type to get carried away by a couple of flattering remarks. Perhaps due to a deficiency in spiritual insight, he had a rather straightforward temperament and particularly despised sycophants like Liang Zi.

Even a few deeply hostile rival factions were present, yet none of them stirred up trouble simply due to the joyous occasion of the Azure Feather Sect.

Gu Lingze let out a scoff. This fellow was certainly straightforward and harbored no malicious intent, but unfortunately, his ideological concepts were deeply flawed.

Pei Xi'er had originally intended to ask Ye Lancao for permission to use the latouse in the back, and then shamelessly borrow a spare set of clothes for her sister, only to be coldly cut off by Ye Lancao.

Su Wenyu pressed her lips together, a blush flying across her cheeks. She cast an embarrassed glance to the side and slightly lowered her head.

Old Lady Yan had never expected Yan Beijue to be truly this ruthless—striking his father's lineage right off the Yan family genealogy, banishing them from Jinlin City, returning them to their native registry, and not even allowing them to remain in the Marquis's Mansion.

The stern and solemn expression on Yan Beijue's face seemed to gradually crumble. He quietly gazed at Ye Lancao, his eyes revealing a look of sheer disbelief.

Yet she ultimately felt that something stood between them; neither had truly opened their hearts, choosing instead to conceal a great deal. This feeling had arisen long ago, and she felt it was a sensation that should not exist.

The two of them tightly embraced as they slept through the second half of the night. Despite being in the crude and harsh environment of a cave, their hearts experienced an unprecedented sense of fulfillment and gratitude.

The staff member also smiled—rivaling Song Zhiyuing in sweetness—and explained to the two of them that ever since they both left, the production crew had been operating this way. Everyone had gone a whole month without a proper rest, and now that the two of them were back, they would just have to adapt to the crew's adjusted shooting schedule.

It was currently spring, and areas surrounding the capital had been experiencing rainfall during this period; why, then, were the canals here completely dry?

They had received reliable information that Pei Gaoang, President of the T&M Group, and Fan Xixi would arrive at the airport at 9:00 AM today.
