Su Tang confessed everything.
“I am not Sister Li’s sibling but her servant.”
“At first, I had forgotten everything, until that day when I witnessed the street fortune teller’s demise; the shock brought back memories of the past.”
“Sister Li indulged me. If I was happy, she would comply; she never mentioned anything about the past.”
“Yet when the memory of my elders surfaced, I had to send letters, for the only blood relative left in the world is my grandfather.”
Ling Jiu’s earlier claim that she could discern the truth in Zi Chu’s words was no bluff; she truly possessed that special ability.
Leng Sicheng tossed him a phrase without looking back when someone greeted him; he strode off arrogantly.
Damn, this man only grows more conceited. She would never tolerate it. Du Gu Jinghua took a deep breath.
Those kneeling below were one thing, but the one seated showed no sign of cultivation; if a fight broke out, they would be utterly crushed without the slightest chance to retaliate.
Suddenly, the air in the Bai family’s estate trembled as if exploding, the massive shockwave leaving Bai’s soldiers confused and helpless.
Qian Yilan had guessed his intention and nodded. After Zhan Li’er left, she sighed. Yajun had returned after a long absence; if upon waking she didn’t see the two of them, she would surely be disappointed.
The slender, well-defined ‘jade-like’ hand’s warmth felt as if it might burn Mu Qingqing’s delicate feet; the clear sensation and scorching heat seared her tender skin.
Xu Ruojin tidied her hair and collar, then used a handkerchief to cool the flush on her face before stepping out.
Since tearing up at the chapel that time, he hadn’t spoken another word to Leng Sicheng. They had already fallen out; there was no need to pretend a close relationship as before.
Yet strangely, although her mother’s voice was so close, she had walked for quite a while without seeing her figure.
Those aware of the news were not surprised; after all, everyone knew Xu Yanzhu had been raised by Madam Xu since childhood.

A sturdy man, muscles bulging with explosive power, heard this and struck down a giant tiger three meters tall with a single punch. Casually tossing it to a companion, he kicked off the ground, shattering the earth and creating a huge pit as debris fell—he disappeared from sight.
Behind, Bainia was puzzled by Roy’s actions, watching him and his clone perform the same strange movements simultaneously.
“Xiao Shuai likes spicy food; I know a new hotpot place that’s quite good. Shall we go there?” Though Yan Huang spoke to Gu Ke, it was clear he was seeking Xu Xiaoshuai’s opinion.
The grape trellis in the backyard was crooked and needed constant support and tying to avoid collapse. The master often sighed, wanting to dismantle and rebuild it but never getting around to it.
The sphere rolled forward with a “crackling” sound. Gao Ge followed slowly, gradually accelerating, taking ten years to roll it once around, turning the ancient world a full circle.
Yang Yi’s head slammed heavily onto the floor; blood flowed from her wound, pooling on the ground.
Or rather, from the start, she hadn’t realized her predicament. She thought herself the master, but in truth, she was just an inconsequential person.
“May I ask, why were you sentenced to a year in prison initially?” Masayoshi Kishimoto asked seriously.
Jun Xi suddenly felt it was better not to see Gu Ke; when apart, she could bear it, but seeing Gu Ke suddenly made her feel she shouldn’t endure such pain.
“That won’t do; these people are experts. We should stay,” the helmsman said immediately upon hearing her. He had long realized those who came up with Ling Xiao had no internal power; no matter how strong their external martial arts, it wouldn’t be enough.
Recently, the prince had been in a bad mood. Many were punished and expelled from the mansion, leaving everyone anxious, fearing further retribution.
Commercial performances were out of the question. No amount of money could persuade them, nor would they attend interviews. Answering a host’s questions seemed less interesting than explaining to Baby Yike why the sun disappears after the moon rises.
Ye Lihuan laughed loudly, full of heroic spirit. With one hand, he snatched a nearby steel blade and drew it across his neck.
The Huaxia Alliance dispatched three million troops as expected; many carried strange, pet-like creatures of various forms.
At this moment, the sky had darkened. All the students sat together chatting and laughing. Suddenly, a strange sound emanated from the lake’s surface.
Goods must be compared, and people are judged by others. Compared to this one, those contestants who had just taken the stage were utterly crushed, even overshadowed by many established singers.

“Mr. Mu, the front desk says a gentleman claiming to be Leibus from the Rice Company is downstairs...” Just then, Mo Mo, a member of Mu Bai’s executive office, entered to remind him.
“I have some; I guess it’s enough. If not, I’ll fill in with people. I’ll scout around later and decide how many more we need,” Zhang Yang answered methodically, leaving no gaps.
On the twentieth day, no one crossed the sea. People assumed no one else would come; those who didn’t arrive either gave up or fell overboard, nobody cared.
Upon hearing Xu Guangyuan’s jest, Wang Jintao paid no mind, calmly clinking glasses and eating with Ning Zhongxin.
The squad leader commanding the front musketeers saw the stout captain run through the side passage into the formation and decisively ordered fire.
Liang Wang Zhu Quanzhong, honored by Tang Zhaozong Li Ye as “the loyal and upright hero who restored the heavens,” besieged Fengxiang, killed over seven hundred eunuchs, then assassinated Li Ye, leading to the Tang dynasty’s fall and the founding of the Later Liang Empire.
His subordinates’ three-eyed muskets, all discarded by the musket squads, numbered about a hundred. Yu Yan’s undying troops hadn’t trained for volleys but fought wild, igniting muskets and firing directly at enemies at close range.
Officials here didn’t enter government offices; no one knew their ranks, and no one showed much respect for them.
These three sentences were spoken by the chairman of Tokiwa Academy to the middle school students just before adjournment.
Everyone present was dumbfounded, thinking who was so bold as to attack Wang Keren?
“Your Highness, the imperial physician said you must avoid meat and even any pungent foods. The emperor has decreed no meat or strong-smelling dishes be given to you.”
Beck’s goal completely shattered the Hamburg team’s hopes. After the match resumed, everyone became listless and dispirited.
