Volume One, Chapter 24: Xie Jingling Regrets

Although chance and coincidence played their parts, could such opportunities and accidents ever befall someone without great fortune? Gu Yudong was stunned to see such a large suitcase; although she hadn't attended university, she knew that each semester only covered a handful of courses, at most a dozen, so what need was there for such a big box? Ming Luoshan had Jiang Xu confront rival sects, letting him fight until he lost, then sending someone else; Sikong Yan was cheering Jiang Xu on. The matching stainless steel spoon handle was already somewhat bent, but under my pressure, it bent completely.

Returning to the dormitory, I found that, apart from the missing Gao Huan, Chen Ming and Li Jiayu were still asleep. What surprised Song Yiyi was that she and her brother ended up in the same examination room; Song Yiyi was at the first desk by the window, and Song Zi'an sat at the third seat from the end in the middle row. In the end, it might lead to the failure of her marriage, and the children might lose their father, or their mother.

"Where's Dad?" Yan Qinqing took a deep breath to compose herself, making her appearance and gaze seem more natural and clear before looking toward the living room. El Koya nodded slightly; her eyes, usually narrowed, opened wide for once, revealing her dazzling, uniquely colored irises that could easily captivate anyone, as if one's spirit was drawn toward them by some mysterious force.

The Chief No. 1 was no longer joking and turned his gaze to Gu Zemin, first inquiring about his past. Gu Zemin answered succinctly, mentioning his adoptive parents and his more than twenty years in the military. As for some of the male trainees, they were formidable as well; their status alone was enough to overwhelm others.

Finally, Li Yue burst into tears, her emotions gradually stabilizing. After wiping her face clean and seeing Li Yue no longer cry, the shepherd felt relieved, though his heart ached to see her swollen, reddened eyes. She could only blame her own foolishness; she believed that trust should exist between spouses and that she shouldn't doubt Jin Lufeng because of what Ji Leyao had said. Yet, those words had always lingered in her heart, making her unable to let go.

Xie Dajun picked up the remote from the coffee table and turned the television volume to maximum to drown out those filthy sounds. Wang Zihan laughed heartily and formed a hand seal; in a flash, a dazzling shield of light appeared before him. As his laughter rang out, Chen Rong closed her eyes, slowly slipped the golden hairpin into her sleeve pocket, and took a deep breath of fresh air.

Qi Han leaned against the bed, his right arm bandaged and hanging from his neck, his expression gloomy until he saw Wen Yang enter, making his eyes light up. Not long after, Qiu Ju hurried back, nodded, and signaled Tu Qiushuang that the matter was genuine. Dongfang Zier's pretty face grew cold, and she responded with a palm strike, her hand blazing like fire.

The more Jian Rui thought, the more aggrieved she felt, her emotions surging uncontrollably with her breath; tears flowed, and her body began to tremble. "You're the barbarian dog!" Wang Haoxian cursed fiercely in his heart, but when he turned around, his face was already smiling.

After entrusting Wei Zu'an and the others to Steward Yu, Wu Sanxin hurriedly took a boat back to his residence to report the news. The Zhang family was astonished to see the imperial inspector so young and handsome, like a divine being. Moreover, his manner was friendly and nothing like the county magistrate, who went out surrounded by attendants, with gongs sounding the way—a display of great prestige.

He had no idea where he was, nor who had captured him. Upon arrival at the station, someone pulled him off the horse and dragged him into a room, finally removing the cloth from his face and loosening his bonds.

Two figures walked down the avenue of Stein Academy, their shadows stretching longer across the clean cement road under the sun. Or perhaps, the power in my hands is too great, and I no longer see others as human? I seem not to have been like this in the past.

The waiter had been terrified by two groups who, at the slightest disagreement, drew knives and guns and smashed tables, chairs, bowls, and plates. Seeing Liu Feng speak kindly and spend generously, he was overjoyed and all his fear vanished; he hurried over to clean up, thankin
