Chapter Twenty-One

Asking Shisui about this was a waste of time; he hadn’t arrived until after it had already begun and had no idea what underhanded methods Konoha had used behind his back to make a quick buck. Even now, the third exam was still underway.

Deidara, however, had no such concerns. He hadn’t even eaten breakfast, having snuck out at the crack of dawn to follow Uchiha Qingfeng. With gourmet food right in front of him, there was no need for restraint.

The old man was now completely convinced: despite Ye Fei’s clear-headedness in serious matters, he was, in reality, still just a foolish child.

Su Jin looked behind her, but there was nothing there. Yet, the moment she stepped out of the hall, she felt as if a gaze were trailing her.

"I am not such a calculating person, am I, Young Master Qing?" Himegamiya Izayoi asked Yuan Qingse, sounding aggrieved and displeased.

Himegamiya Izayoi turned her head, saw Yuan Qingse, huffed, and looked away, ignoring him.

The moon orbited the Earth, and amidst the pitch-black darkness, moonlight filtered through the gaps in the cedar trees, illuminating the three of them.

He had expected that the children would harbor some resentment toward him because of his actions, but he never imagined that they had seen through his intentions all along.

Yang Di immediately took up the conversation. He was the type to seize every opportunity to take the initiative, so he believed that proactively chatting could never be wrong.

The cultivators of the Combat Department hurriedly threw out their weapons to block, and only after several of their armaments had melted into lava did they barely manage to hold it back together.

Even so, sewage is sewage. The reclaimed water after treatment is still technically polluted, but discharging it into a river is not a major issue, as the river itself contains silt, flows constantly, and possesses natural self-purification capabilities.

The "Elder Zhang" mentioned by Elder Luo was a famous physician in Huaya and the great-grandfather of Zhang Ziyin’s grandfather. Living to over ninety could be considered a natural end to a full life.

Fortunately, the soul-fire palace lantern wasn't very bright. Jiang Feng immediately stood in front of his two underage disciples, his spiritual power blooming, transforming his demonic energy into ordinary robes to cover the exposed areas, only then letting out a sigh of relief.

Bai Lian saw this comment among the feedback, set his phone aside, and had no desire to look at those messages anymore.

Sometimes, even if I don't give it to them, I know exactly where he hides his homework and will help steal it for classmates who need to copy it.

He finally realized the treachery of Cen Yuanzhang at the very last moment. Now, he could no longer afford any feelings of contempt or trust. The Duke of Rong encouraging him to "seize the opportunity"? That was surely a malicious scheme to drive him toward a dead end.

"Oh, for heaven's sake, System, stop being cheeky. That explanation is easily misunderstood!" Wu Hao covered his face. After the upgrade, this system had become somewhat anthropomorphic; it was truly incorrigible.

After dictation was finished, it had to be handed to the English teacher for grading. Those who made mistakes were punished by having to copy the words twenty times, and those with too many errors were met with the rod, getting a proper "education" from the pointer.

"Sigh!" Zheng Qing heaved a sigh, his right hand gripping the Thunder Phoenix Fan tightly, his emotions appearing to become somewhat agitated.

To prepare for class, I copied my schedule onto half a sheet of notebook paper the day before yesterday and taped it to my desk.

"They said this defensive line will cost a lot of money, and there is very little they can actually do," the translator said to Tian Cai.

My desire for a defensive wall, much like the Great Wall of the past, was largely driven by a psychological need.

"Does that mean there's a similar accumulation method for joining the Assassin League?" Zhan Wushang became interested. For a slow-moving warrior, missions involving being hunted and chased were simply not suitable.

Gu Fei would never have actually fought these guys in earnest had they met at any other time.

"Darling, as long as you are obedient and do things well for me, I will let you and your son reunite. Perhaps your whole family can even live a happy life together again." Jesse let go of his hand and smiled gloomily.

"Looks like a unit came here to parachute and met with an unfortunate accident," the sergeant said casually.

"What's wrong?" Mu Tiankuang, who was holding her, stretched out a large palm to cover her forehead and asked softly.

This府兵 (fubing) militia system was submitted to Xudu along with the memorial proposing Xiahou Lan’s appointment as a commanding colonel.

However, their battle robes were already tattered and shredded by thorns, their leather armor was falling apart, and they were all unkempt and haggard, looking no different from wild savages.

The streets were quiet, and the channel was quiet as well. Once the real fighting started, even Pig Fairy dared not chatter. Everyone left the channel clear for the commander, Yun Zhongmu.

These pages were filled with meeting content, and even the speeches of different representatives were recorded with absolute clarity.

Chen Luyang felt a gaze land on her. She turned back and saw Chen Jinyue sitting on the swing with a flushed face, looking at her.

Besides, such a thing was so shameful; if it weren't true, how could a man possibly pin it on himself?

A sense of guilt arose in Chen Yuan's heart. The impact of what was happening before his eyes was simply too great.

Off-balance and falling, Lohak immediately swung his sword to cut the rope by his feet, but two wild goblins, having waited for their chance, sprang from the shadows, raining short spears and blades down upon him.

When Longyue arrived, Chu Tianjun was sitting under a peach tree. Beside him was a stone table that Longyue had taken the liberty of bringing over. Seeing that the table was still there, Longyue felt a little better, and a faint smile could not help but touch the corner of her lips.
