Chapter 104: Opening a Shop

“No problem!” Jiang Butong agreed at once.

“Xiaoyuan, with the new restaurant just opening, there may not be enough staff. Send a few of your men over to help,” Chen Sheng said to Jiang Yuan.

“Don’t worry, Brother Chen. We’ve got more than enough people now. One call, and everyone comes running,” Jiang Yuan replied.

...

Jiang and Fanny slipped behind a fresh thicket. Fanny was still sitting on a uniform folded into several layers, while Robin was wiping sweat from his face nearby.

“How did it get so much bigger inside? I remember it looked the same thickness from top to bottom when seen from outside!” Robin said, gesturing with his hands.

“Sorry. I didn’t expect something like this,” Su Manman said, slowly lowering her hand from her face, her eyes slightly downcast, her mood dimmed.

“You’re with the Dragon Unit?” Jin Yi noticed the common emblem of the Dragon Unit on the document and asked aloud.

At that moment, Feng Guang was preparing to sleep in the county magistrate’s residence when he suddenly heard the sound of a flute. The melody was plaintive and mournful, drifting far and long, carrying the player’s indescribable sorrow and gloom.

Behind the screen stood a majestic great hall, and in that hall hundreds of officials dressed in robes of many colors were also staring wide-eyed at Robin.

“Been a few years, and he’s grown so much older,” came a sigh from behind a half-open window on the fourth floor of Duck House.

“Good day, Second Master. What brings you to a place like this? There isn’t even anywhere to sit!” Zhang Erbao, the foreman in the workshop, said awkwardly when he saw Zhao Cheng enter.

At that very moment, Fu Yuerou’s palm suddenly accelerated, sliding straight past Kong Ming’s arm. Kong Ming then felt a tremendous force strike his chest, and his body became light all at once, thrown into a weightless state.

When facing a bone-blade zombie, its speed would often be completely outclassed. The blade arm that ordinary people could not even track was easily avoided by Zhang Wang, who then finished it off with a swallow-tail saber.

“Tell me more. What are you thinking?” Since Ye Zeyue had dared to play the recording for her without altering a single word, it was clear he already had a plan in mind.

A production team always needed time to settle in together, but everyone had come into the desert with the crew so early that the process was already long complete. Putting aside her rough start, the other actors had also been affected to varying degrees, and filming had not gone smoothly at first.

Almost at the same time, a violent surge of energy came from beyond the back wall, where one of the featherless arrows had ensnared something.

“Her eyes have presence; they’re full of spirit. If she develops along this path, she should have a very good future.” Su Yue offered this assessment. Though she was no expert herself, the performance had indeed given her that impression.

He shot her an exasperated yet indulgent glance, but the regent kept his expression unchanged as he listened to the quarrel below.

At the sound of those words, the ministers immediately prostrated themselves and then withdrew backward from the hall. In an instant, aside from Long Fei and a few others, the council chamber seemed far more spacious and desolate.

Not to mention what lay near at hand: even the leaves on trees dozens of paces away and the insects in the grass could be seen with absolute clarity; even the patterns carved into the moonstone wall bricks on the city wall several miles ahead were visible as though they were right before one’s eyes.

Bang! With a piercing crack, before Zhen Yinjian even realized what had happened, he found himself under attack.

“If you had a half-brother, and because of the company’s inheritance you hated him from the very beginning, only to fall in love with him in the end, could you perform that for me?” Su Yue asked, resting her chin in her hand.

Lin Xiao was nothing more than a fake monk who had taken up the robe halfway through life, so in their eyes, tonight their real opponent was only each other.
