Chapter 307: Proud Yet Fragile

Probably because the appreciation in Zheng Fa's eyes was a little too obvious, Xiao Yuying glanced at him, a hint of smugness in her own gaze.

The value of praise differs from person to person.

All her life she had been nearly invincible, her fortune and talent the envy of all around her.

She did not know how many gazes were more brazen, more fervent, even more fawning than Zheng Fa's.

But she generally would not give them so much as a look.

Zheng Fa was different — he was someone who had always, vaguely, kept a step ahead of her.

She

"This West Cave young master Sunny can be used!" Dongfang He could not help blurting out.

"Village chief, my lord, it's bad! There's a monster on the loose!" Wu Zhi had just returned to the village with a haul of game when, pale-faced, he came running over with a few villagers.

The sea is boundless, the sea demons beyond counting; if it were not for the fact that they cannot live on land — the vast majority of sea demons, like fish, cannot breathe air directly for long — these sea demons would have long since counter-attacked the mainland.

The confidentiality measures during filming were well protected; on the internet, only a few photos of Chen Yixun getting into a car leaked out.

The Qiao Yu of back then had been second to none in Wind Churn Palace, with all beneath her. Now, however, it was not so — her position stripped away, her subordinates gradually drifting off, she was nothing but a lone, solitary figure.

Stick and carrot in hand, the Waste Nation took advantage of every opening to keep the movements of certain factions in its grasp. But this alone was not enough; after all, only two or three factions were willing to throw in with the Waste Nation, and at most they could serve as a small strike force — and an unreliable one at that. So Xiao Mo was still actively making preparations.

Toward the great sea, everyone was filled with curiosity; from their cheeks one could see they were delighted.

I asked in astonishment. Though my face still burned with pain, at that moment my curiosity about the mouse in Xu Fo's hand was stronger.

And at dawn, the answer was finally revealed: due south of them, a hundred-man squad had appeared! This Xuan Nan Sect hundred-man squad had linked up with those scouts, numbering over a hundred and twenty in all; after forming up their ranks, they launched an attack against these northeastern pursuers.

A few more strides and Ye Xuan had reached the guest-receiving room set aside for honored guests. After inquiring again, he learned the room Tu Jin was in. This time, however, Ye Xuan did not rush straight in; instead, he quietly made his way to the window and pushed it open a crack.

Yet Zhuge Changyun was even more astonished than Tong Zhan, for he too had never seen when Ye Xuan had come to possess such strength.

Elder Fang, on the other hand, did not seem particularly agitated, as though it made no difference whether the seal was lifted or not.

The master's voice suddenly rang out in the room, and then the old man himself strolled in, gnawing on a watermelon, the very picture of leisure.

On Ye Chenfeng's side, Wu Fang had gone to Spirit Sea Academy and informed President Lin Hui, who was not particularly surprised.

Su Mohan, however, gave a faint wave of his hand, halting CEO Leng's further action. He spoke to Leng Tingjun thus.

Hong Chengchou shook his head and said nothing. How could he tell them that just two years ago, fewer than ten thousand Guangdong troops in a few large ships had thrown all of Southern Zhili into turmoil? But the pacification of Jiang Nan was Hong Chengchou's achievement — how could he possibly tell Zhou Boda the truth?

"Just giving you a heads-up — there's really no need to rush. Rome wasn't built in a day. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Ye Teng said with a smile, offering comfort.

"Heh, so I overestimated you. Ten moves? I say three will do!" the monkey-faced youth began taunting Ye Xuan in a mocking tone.

Ma Jiyuan was sixty-five this year. Though advanced in years, his spirits were still good, and he was overjoyed to see his son arrive. But when Ma Jiyuan learned that Ma Shaoguang was going to Beijing for his post, he could not help knitting his brow tightly.

Thinking of this possibility, they wished they could turn over every inch of land here; satellites scanned the place again and again from the sky, hoping to find some trace. After all, conducting biochemical experiments would certainly require no small amount of facilities — if they could find such an anomaly, they could find the true culprit.
