Volume One, Chapter 37: The Third Blind Date

Du Qing had no idea how she made it back home. Everything that had happened today was simply too bizarre to comprehend.

As soon as Yun Changhong received Du Qing’s call, he rushed back from the office in a hurry. The moment he stepped through the door, he saw Du Qing staring blankly at the flowers and plants in the courtyard, lost in thought.

“Is what you said true? Can our Xiao Jiu really predict the future and even see ghosts?” he asked urgently.

Du Qing finally snapped out of her trance and nodded earnestly.

Although he boasted of commanding an army of a hundred thousand beastfolk, in reality, there were only a few hundred truly formidable warriors among them.

“Perhaps, but I absolutely cannot let my students see my true self. I must maintain a cold, stern demeanor—otherwise, I’ll lose all authority over them,” Gu Manxue replied with utmost seriousness.

But if Wang Yuanfuzhong could understand Yuan Daping, not only could he explain things to Lin Tiexue, he could also win the favor of Wang Boyan. He might even reach Wang Boyan’s level. It could be said he was aiming to kill two birds with one stone.

“After all, Fellow Daoist Lin, you don’t often gather with everyone to discuss the Dao or share your insights, so it’s inevitable that there are some misunderstandings about you,” Ye Jingxue replied calmly.

After Du Ziyuan explained the entire sequence of events to Yan Yun Songzi, he was indeed met with Xiangliu’s biting sarcasm.

Kaisa thought the referee would penalize the opponent for diving, but to his surprise, the referee, apparently blind, awarded a penalty kick instead.

Distributing the other pieces of equipment in the same manner to the rest, Charlotte finally breathed a sigh of relief before turning her attention to those other props.

Shi Bin figured that they were in no mood to discuss military matters and would most likely need a break. Since there was no urgency to set out, Shi Bin suggested postponing the meeting until the evening so everyone could rest. To spare them any embarrassment, he even gave it a dignified name: “Haste makes waste—success comes to those who proceed steadily.”

As soon as they saw the first page, everyone immediately sensed there was something special about this work.

A few days earlier, when Zheng Fan had killed Emil and the others, Marilyn hadn’t been present. Her impression of Zheng Fan was still stuck at the time when he killed Attila; the rest she had only heard about—how he had slaughtered half of Europe’s divine realm—but had never witnessed his prowess firsthand.

As for the airplane and the ghost gourd, Fang Shaoping felt they had nothing at all to do with directly boosting his combat strength.

Suddenly, a violent explosion rocked one side of the arena’s wall, bringing the whole wall crashing down. Tanks and armored vehicles surged inside, and an armed helicopter hovered overhead.

“If I cannot defy fate, then for our family to remain together would also be a blessing,” Yue Jingxuan thought. He knew how dangerous it was to use the Life-Extending Pill; if it failed midway, neither he, Yun Lan, nor the child would survive. Yet he would rather accept that risk than do nothing and simply give up on the child Yun Lan cared for so deeply.

“You’re lying! My mother coughed up blood and fainted—you dare say she wasn’t poisoned?” Mu Qingyao shouted harshly.

Given this, even if he sent a large force of elites, Luo Tianzheng would likely annihilate them all, because the skills of the Heavenly Demon Domain were simply too overwhelming.

Sure enough, the blind monk appeared in the bottom lane, coming out of the river and warding straight onto Varus.

Some of the guards in the courtyard understood the Yi language. Listening to the conversation among the three, they had no idea what expression to wear. On duty, they couldn’t laugh or joke, but they felt distinctly uncomfortable.

“Huh? Where is everyone? These girls—are they really going back on their word?” he muttered in feigned confusion.

The Grand Madam was indisposed and couldn’t come; the Second Madam Li was in no shape to attend either; as for the Third Madam Zhang, even if she had given orders, no one really took them seriously.

The general plot was about a team of Chinese archaeologists who, while excavating at Sanxingdui, accidentally discovered a strange bronze artifact.

Especially with things like fish, shrimp, and crab—take this bowl of seafood noodles, for example—there was more seafood than noodles. Clearly, in this region, seafood was cheaper than rice or wheat.
