Chapter 30: Lighting the Sky Lantern

"Why is he leaving as soon as he arrived?" Jiang Liwu took a few steps toward the direction where Fu Siyue had departed, losing all interest in her food.

It was better that he left. Fu Siyue had failed to seize the opportunity given to him, and that was his own fault. Wei Xifeng pressed his tongue against his cheek, his lips curling into a crooked, mocking smile. Seeing Jiang Liwu’s concerned and dejected expression, he quickly comforted her, "He probably has some important matters to attend to. Don't take it to heart."

"That's true," Jiang Liwu nodded, though her brow remained furrowed.

Xie Lanzhou bit her lip until it drew blood, her hands digging into her own flesh, her lowered eyes filled with venomous hatred.

Now that he asked, she told him the truth. Long Yunmo hadn't thought of a name yet, but his expression was one of joy.

Of course, Su Chenxi could not leave. Since Kaimuya had set such a grand trap for her, she certainly couldn't let Kaimuya down.

Naturally, Mu Qiqi and Su Zipei complemented each other, and Su Zipei could not function without Mu Qiqi’s cooperation.

Tang Minmin was still a bit dazed. So, it wasn't that Kai Mouxian had framed her, but rather that he was helping her. She had misunderstood him, and this phone was something he had bought for her.

Taking contraceptive pills too often was bad for her health. Jian Zechuan might not care, but she had to look out for herself.

At first, they called her by her name, Chu Lang'e, but once they saw how much Zhu Yilan valued her, they all changed their address to "Young Master A-Chu" without needing any orders from above.

That look felt exactly like the one Gu Yi gave her when she told him to see a doctor right after one of his episodes—it was the kind of look that made one's entire body turn cold.

Old Master Lin was indeed skilled at being repulsive, but as long as Lin Mu'an’s will remained firm, no one could change him.

Setting down his cup, he walked out to the neighboring room to see what Teacher Pea was doing, hoping to ask her about the "Source of Life" as soon as he had a moment.

A young man responded to the call; it was the very same waiter who had warmly greeted A-Jiu during her first visit to Yuanxiangji.

However, the events that followed had once made her believe that she would never see him again in this lifetime. She had let go of that hope and poured all her devotion into A-Jiu.

At this moment, Wang Haodong tossed the food in the wok with one hand while stirring it with a spoon in the other, then reached over to shut off the gas stove.

This time, the masked assassin clearly sensed multiple presences lurking around the corner of the maze, observing them. He sneered; to avoid alerting the enemy, he slowly turned his body and, in a flash, flicked his wrist, hurling several sharp blades toward the corner.

Last year, under the leadership of Chen Jincan from the Changzhou Municipal Bureau, that anti-organized crime sweep was truly vigorous, and they had put many people behind bars.

This time, the world game lasted only one year, and with the need to travel across the globe to explore, the schedule was far too tight.

Lin Wei possessed the concealment experience of the Wizarding World and was well-hidden; the others did not discover this seven-star mortal blood entity among them.

Since this was originally someone else's residence and he was the one who had usurped the nest, how could he bear to drive Pan Duo away?

Every casual movement he made carried a lethally threatening power, enough to strike terror into anyone's heart.

Though the old squad leader’s parting words were somewhat cryptic, Li Ziyuan knew it was a warning. He just couldn't understand why the old leader would warn him at such a time. Had something happened? Or was there some movement from the higher-ups?

Meanwhile, Fu Can’s condition finally improved slightly; the cold poison on his face had been purged, revealing his pale skin.

The great hall fell silent instantly. Lin Baifeng glanced at Lin Xiaoli before returning to the inner chamber, and Lin Xiaoli bowed to see his mother off.

On the contrary, Tang Xin had tried more than once to use her uncle’s connections to get Yang Zhi promoted, but Yang Zhi had blocked her every time.

At this moment, Huangfu Fei’s body emitted a golden radiance. The overwhelming sword qi shattered automatically when it came within dozens of meters of her. Even before she unleashed her move, her mere presence alone had repelled Li Tianyou’s sword energy.
