Chapter 81: I Have Something to Discuss With You

The base was bustling.
Captain Guan was, in fact, quite busy as well.
Within the base, aside from routine patrols, there were street sweeps, coordination with the capital, and fostering amicable relations with other survivor bases. Not to mention, the recent addition of re-registering the population and issuing new identification cards.
A temporary civil affairs department had been set up, full of intricate tasks. Previously, most personnel had been assigned to security, but now that the situation was relatively stable, many of Captain Guan’s subordinates had been assigned elsewhere to help, leaving even him somewhat short-handed.

The Heaven-Turning Seal was a force capable of overturning the world—a pride that laughed at the ages, an indomitable will, an aura that could suppress all.

Chen Jiu went to see the princess first. I did not listen in on their conversation. Instead, I arrived early at the entrance to my old headquarters, drove away the eunuch who was keeping watch, and waited there for Chen Jiu to arrive, so I could speak to him about joining the Eastern Bureau.

“The young master has just returned and may not know much about the Shadow Realm yet. If you have any questions, just ask!” Mo Kong forced himself to answer with composure.

Below, the space was extremely damp. At first, the passage was over two meters high and three meters wide, but as we went further in, it grew narrower. After walking more than twenty meters, it widened again somewhat.

Su Qingyuan was no fool. She knew that continuing to argue would only make Ye Jingxuan see her as unreasonable and give the scheming Su Qingwan the upper hand. So she said nothing more, made a polite bow, and left the room.

This time, Yuanji raised his voice. The two clearly heard him, but—after just glancing over, they resumed their fight.

Only after speaking did Changle realize that, when shaking hands with someone of the opposite sex, one should usually wait for the other person to extend their hand first. He had reached out first, and it seemed a bit presumptuous and impolite, which made him feel somewhat awkward.

“Wicked creature, see how I exorcise you! Draw sword—” Yunlongzi was truly enraged. In the dragon claw of his celestial form, he gripped a colossal sword a hundred feet long. The blade’s brilliance blotted out the sun in the sky.

The man’s face was hidden behind the bed’s drapery and could not be seen, but Xiao Lingxiao’s gaze was drawn to his large hand, noticing what seemed to be a deep scar on his wrist.

Is there truly a man in this world who, no matter the danger, would smile and swear to follow her unto death? What more could she ask for?

Sevilla was considered a formidable force in La Liga. Though not as dominant in recent years, they were still capable of securing a Europa League spot. Real Madrid was, of course, far stronger, but to avoid a match like the one against Malaga, they took every precaution for this game.

Jianyi gave a nod of approval. The True Master of Tianji was worthy of being the head of the sect; he had instantly grasped the heart of the matter.

“This… cough…” Seeing the shock on Master Yu’s face, Jianyi let out a dry cough or two, unsure how to explain.

Yet he could never have foreseen that this seemingly reasonable and proper decision would, after the war ended, become an insurmountable obstacle in his future career as an official under the Japanese.

Cries rang out as the palace guards on duty were urgently dispatched, beginning a search throughout the palace.

Wu Dingyuan said, “I’m going to buy a few horses in a moment. Since you’re dressed so beautifully, why not walk with me for a while?” Yanting agreed with delight, and the two of them set out together.

Now all the plum blossoms had fallen, and the fruit had yet to form. The bare branches were gnarled and twisted; some of the trees must have stood nearly a hundred years. It was remarkable how well they had been preserved.

After getting off the bus, there was still some time before the warm-up began. Usually, players would rest in the locker room at this time, but Jin Yuan did not idle away the moments; he ran to the entrance of the stadium.

Qi Tian, an otaku who awakened the inheritance of the Five Elements, found himself bound by fate and compelled to embark on an extraordinary journey to the West.
