Volume 1 Chapter 34 You Should Put in More Effort

When Shen Qingqing rushed into the living room, Mo Lingcheng and Meng Jiangbao were sitting on the sofa, each occupied with his own task.

Mo Lingcheng was on the phone, while Meng Jiangbao was leafing through her proposal.

The moment Mo Lingcheng saw Shen Qingqing emerge, he ended the call.

“Brother Ye, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you. Would you mind stepping aside with me for a moment?” Meng Xingda suddenly said in a low voice. He then glanced at the people around them, the meaning in his eyes unmistakable.

Yet the instant the Nine-Infant saw the matchstick, it showed no intention of swallowing it at all. Instead, it stared at the matchstick for a while.

“What you don’t know is that this clan struggle is an immense challenge for the Su family. Winning would naturally be wonderful, but if we lose, our family will be destroyed and our people wiped out.” Su Tianxiao’s face was filled with worry.

Only later, when Zhang Jingming made it clear that he truly did not like Zhao Yanyan, did the original Shen Qingqing stop trying to play matchmaker.

A trace of viciousness flashed between Su Yi’s brows. He pointed at Xiao Feng in the distance and issued an order.

Li Xiangyang threw back his head and laughed wildly. Though his constitution had been invaded by the sinister energy within the cavern, he still could not restrain the dense moisture pouring from every pore of his body. One water dragon after another flew recklessly around him, determined to seize control of the Ghost Ring.

Dou Dou seemed to have gone stupid, allowing Zekin to manipulate her as he pleased. She knew perfectly well that this was wrong, yet she simply could not refuse. The sensation was unbearably painful. Every time she heard Zekin say the name Nan Nan, Dou Dou felt her heart jolt.

After receiving word that assassins were about to strike, Fide slept as soundly as usual—not so deeply that he became lost in the comfort of dreams, nor so lightly that he could be easily disturbed. When Fide opened his eyes, his head was still attached to his neck; the rebel assassins had not managed to cut it off.

After washing her face in the restroom, Feng Sumei rubbed her temples and secretly regretted accompanying her husband to whatever class reunion this was.

Yet although Jiaoyu had saved Wu Chenfei, that did not mean she considered him any different from other men. She had saved him only to repay the favor of his helping heal her injuries. It had not been a matter of saving her life, but he had still offered help when she needed it most.

“Has he arrived?”

Confronted by Zhu Shijing’s ingratiating smile, the man known as Director Dong merely gave him a淡 glance. His attitude had nothing in common with Zhu Shijing’s enthusiasm. Instead, he unconsciously conveyed the impression that he was above everyone else.

Ma Qingfeng was already in a foul mood. His family’s vengeance remained unfulfilled, and the woman he loved had been forced to leave him. Now some blind fool had chosen this moment to offend the Sword Sect. How could Ma Qingfeng possibly continue suppressing his fury?

The strangeness of the scene left everyone stunned. Could ice and fire truly coexist? Why was the fire encased within a layer of ice?

Behind the glittering golden gate lay an enormous open-air plaza. Since the plaza was completely exposed, it had no need for a gate as decoration. Clearly, the gate existed solely for show.

“Has the sect master arrived among the Miao people yet?” the white-clad man, who had maintained his silence until then, suddenly asked. The few people who had been restless and terrified immediately fell silent.

Zhang Yifei thought it over carefully. With our skills and our looks, he really had no idea how much would be an appropriate price to ask.

On the mountain road, every word Song Yu and Lan Qingqing had spoken, every cold laugh, every expression, appeared with crystal clarity before his eyes and echoed in his ears. Each one was like a sharp needle, slowly piercing his heart.

Wuyou did not think too much about it. Nangong Buqi had already released his restraints, and she eagerly leaped onto the fighting platform.

If those things had been used at that time, it would certainly have created yet another enormous problem.
