Chapter 26 Catastrophe

This time, Han Daqiang was furious and brought over a hundred people with him. Yet Lu Fei still dared to make a move. This act once again left the Jiang family, Xu Yunyao, and the others deeply shocked. This fellow was truly a scourge, a real troublemaker.

But no matter how strong your fists are, you can’t fight off a hundred people alone. You might take on ten, but could you handle a hundred? Some people just don’t know their place! Xu Yunyao shook her head and muttered to herself.

...

What’s this? Is the earlier dispute still not settled? Thinking this, Dian Wei turned his gaze to Wang Che.

If the river dries up, the situation will become even more dire. Come summer, it won’t take a month for the crops in the fields to wither. With no water underground and the ruthless sun above, how could the crops survive?

Wang Che was no stranger to such schemes. He’d seen these tricks countless times before. The county office got its cut, the common folk got their explanation, and, crucially, the county office gained reputation and authority. It was a win-win ploy with no risk of loss.

However, at this beach, almost every year, one or two students drowned while swimming.

In reality, Lei Lei had yet to officially debut, so talk of brand endorsements and the like was still premature.

“Restore the dantian? Impossible. Boss, what nonsense are you talking about?” Wang Yang, unaware of the specifics, thought Lin Xiu was joking when he heard this.

The moment Wang Zhenxing saw Gu Mingyuan arrive, he tossed his cards on the table and said, “I’m done, let’s call it a night.” He crushed out his cigarette in the ashtray and strode out.

Hold a grudge if you must—as long as he could take East Commandery and defeat Peng Tuo, even someone like Huangfu Song, a court-appointed general, would have to look at Cao Man with new respect and take him seriously. If anyone still wanted to meddle and take things from Cao Man now, they’d have to think twice.

This was clearly a staple act at every gathering of the Gui Sect—membership to the sect’s qigong required a one-time payment of 8,888 yuan, which made you a lifetime member. You’d receive a secret manual and a few commemorative items, plus a chance to attend the annual mass qigong transmission ceremony.

Everyone frowned and remained silent, but in their hearts, all knew that the paint smeared on the door was most likely human blood.

Li Yu looked at Xiong Wei in surprise and suspicion. Why did it seem like the more he wiped his brow, the more Xiong Wei sweat? Was the office really that hot?

Chi You immediately acted on his thoughts. First, he reforged the meteorite iron with secret techniques, then used the souls of the monster clan from the endless battlefield as a guide, absorbing the blood essence of countless tribes. In the end, Chi You performed a sacrificial battle, the murderous aura soared, black clouds churned, but still, Chi You was not satisfied.

“Eleven thousand!” Lin Fan finally raised his paddle and called out softly, drawing astonished looks from everyone at the auction house.

“That useless Hua She actually lost to a mere Sword Marquis like you—a disgrace to our Black Serpent Sword Sect.” The Sword Emperor before Lin Fan sneered as he spoke.

Though Angelina was still retreating diagonally, when she saw her opponent throw a punch, she met it head-on, her fists blocking every blow.

I had no idea what the thing was. In the mist swirling all around, it fell through the air in a parabola, looking pitch-black. But Fatty never fumbles in a crucial moment—without hesitation, I caught it with a backward sweep of my hand.

Song Nanxi should have been the brightest presence in this competition, but because of that confrontation on the airplane, she instantly became the talk of the entire Yinda University.

“Give me your hand.” Yuan Hongyi didn’t wait for Luo Lingjun to raise her hand; he’d already grabbed it and was examining her meridians.

“Since Madam has said to let that matter go, there’s something else I came for!” Now that Xu Shu was here, Xu Ting had no more reason to be circumspect, so she got straight to the point.
