Chapter 55: Comparison (1)

Gou Pang's face flushed crimson under the gaze.

He was different from Ning Xin.

Ning Xin had no idea whatsoever that her mother intended to arrange a match for her. Before Gou Pang came, his father had made things very crystal clear to him.

Ning Xin was fifteen and unattached; his trip was not merely to collect game from the mountains, but also to see how things went with Ning Xin with marriage in mind.

This kind of meeting allowed the youngsters to see in private whether they caught each other's eye. If mutual affection blossomed, the elders would then engage a matchmaker to propose and finalize the engagement.

For those just beginning to operate their Weibo accounts and encountering such an incident on their very first day, they were completely overwhelmed.

Even though the students produced such a wildly off-target set of scores, the instructors remained entirely unfazed. After all, many of the students were touching a firearm for the very first time, and such results were well within reason.

Clearly she loved him, yet she had no choice but to say she loathed him; clearly she loved him, yet she had no choice but to hurt him.

"Reply to... what?" Gu Chunjing had long since cast Mu Bai's birthday party to the farthest corners of her mind, and only recalled the matter at Mu Bai's reminder.

No coaxing words carried as much deterrent power as that single sentence. The moment Xia Nuannian finished speaking, Ji Ziyan's momentum to turn around slowly became well-behaved.

At this point, Young Master Ze could only silently pray that the Tiger-Headed Monster's strength was formidable enough and its backing strong enough.

"I didn't know what would happen ahead, knowing I thought it might be fine," he said, his voice calm.

Unable to wait for the driver to get out and open the door, Di Yecheng strode directly out, hurrying toward the inpatient building.

Quan Zeyao massaged his temples in exasperation. He had thought that after untangling the relationship among Xu Rui, Chen Guang, and Chen Jia, Luo Ye would understand that the other party was targeting him, but as it turned out, he was completely oblivious to the fact.

Rushing back to the guest room, she found a dress to slip on. When she went into the bathroom to wash up, she caught sight of several deeply colored hickeys on her neck through the mirror.

Upon hearing this, Yan Niang felt a sudden constriction in her chest, and her limbs instantly grew somewhat weak, though she had rarely been subjected to such humiliation in all her life. After just a brief daze, a flurry of fists and kicks rained down upon him once again.

How laughable that Xu Shi, shrewd as a ghost, had wasted all those days of anxiety for nothing. He had no idea that Qin Yibai had long since intended to impart his skills in precisely this manner.

Thus, when the third watch of the Yin hour arrived and daybreak was about to break, Zhang Ruyun felt a strange anomaly beneath the earth, yet upon looking at Lin Fuyu, the latter appeared completely oblivious to it.

"You wretched girl, see if I don't tear that mouth of yours!" Mo Yue blushed with shame, a sight that left me dazed for a long time. It had been so long since I last saw Mo Yue looking so delightfully shy; we had constantly been struggling just to stay alive, so when would we ever have the opportunity to speak of romance?

On the surface, the Han family and the Shangguan family were locked in an irreconcilable struggle. But what was the truth? It was merely a staged performance, a play prepared three full years in advance. In this drama, many second-tier factions in Suhang had suffered attacks from both families, meaning that Suhang was now entirely under the control of Qiu Shaoze.

"Can't I come to visit you when nothing is wrong? I heard that an assassin got into the palace, and I was worried about your safety," Jin Feng said in a coaxing, sweet voice. Believing that that cheap woman would come looking for him, she had deliberately rushed over through the night.

These thoughts flashed through Xiao Rang's mind in a mere fraction of a second. Without much hesitation, he stepped out of the grotto mansion, raised his hands, and firmly grasped the True Dragon Sword and the Immutable Underworld Bell.

Witnessing this scene, Li Ningbu could not help but smile inwardly, because everything Chiang Kai-shek was doing indicated his desire to attend today's meeting between the Far East and the Hanji Kingdom. In truth, Chiang Kai-shek had no idea that Li Ningbu had already planned to have him join from the very beginning.

From the preceding conversation, it could be deduced that the bespectacled man had evidently developed a multi-functional high-tech pair of glasses, one of the features being the ability to block psychic powers.

The three previously independent auras had now completely fused into one, indistinguishable from each other, tightly entwined like multiple ropes twisted firmly together.
