Chapter 623: Background Check

Clang! Clang! Clang!

"Tomorrow's imperial exam! Tomorrow's imperial exam!

No unloading at the ferry tomorrow!

No unloading at the ferry tomorrow!"

Between summer and autumn, the fields are in the busy harvest season. A night watchman in a black tax‑collector's robe walks along the canal, beating a gong and shouting.

His voice does not affect the swift porters at the canal ferry in the slightest.

These people, like ants moving a nest, strain themselves to transport the ships.

It seems as if two immensely heavy black stones slid apart; at this moment the flawless perfect fit that had lasted for millennia was finally broken by human hands, forcing a thunderous slide that opened, revealing the massive, centuries‑old secret sealed within.

Yao Zilin's displayed cultivation is indeed at the early Return to Void Realm stage, but this combat power is not something an ordinary practitioner at that stage can achieve, especially for an intellect‑focused martial artist like him; ordinarily he should have been easily crushed by Yao Ziying.

The reports are glossy, but Li Hao has been swamped these past two days. He upgraded his Divine Tycoon viewing privilege again, allowing him to check potential 45 times a day.

Thus, after Yu Bin returned home, he invited Chen Tao out again, meeting at his rented apartment.

"Where, Director Yang, you're being modest," Li Hao replied humbly, and ushered Yang Shilei onto the sofa.

After Shuang Er finished her preparations, she suddenly formed a strange hand gesture and began repeatedly striking the alchemical furnace with a baffling motion.

The death aura emitted by the Red‑Eyed Ghost Eagle spread instantly, enveloping Li Shan, Ling Feng, and Mo Ning.

Boss Peng Gaoyuan inexplicably took the phone, wondering what had happened to make his subordinate act so oddly.

Even the curses sounded heavily suppressed; none of the kidnappers replied, most of them fled toward dense woods, hiding their forms and desperately escaping toward the eastern coast.

Fortunately, Liu Yi was nesting on the sofa; when Ruo Yi suddenly collapsed, Liu Yi instantly appeared beside her like teleportation, hugged her, placed her on the sofa, and then continued playing on the phone.

Realizing this, Taozawa Hanako understood; when she looked at You Gege, her eyes gained a new fervor and sincerity, because she truly felt the sense of mission inherent in the task she was about to undertake.

Xin Hua immediately glared at Yan Ge Xiao, pressed her palms together, and with a "Zzz~" sound, her claws turned into rabbit paws, which she swung toward Yan Ge Xiao.

Mu Yi slowly propped his body up with both hands; generating such a vast area of psychic power, even if the pressure were evenly divided among ten psychics, was still extremely taxing.

At the finish line, the yellow‑fur hunting dog seemed dissatisfied, growling as it ran to the black‑fur big dog to argue; at first the black dog ignored it, but the yellow dog persisted.

The Wudang Flying Army has always been Guan Suo's trusted aide; had Guan Suo not been injured, his father Liu Bei would not have temporarily handed this eight‑thousand‑soldier force to him, helping him capture the counties of Shangyong.

In the afternoon, Song Min returned home, logged into the school's academic system, and checked his grades; the physical education column was indeed abysmal.

This almost led the newcomer Lin Sen to think this place was a noble's palace of some empire, rather than the sacred Hall of Heroic Spirits.

"How do I recall you never gave me a title?" Yu Yanji said with a half‑smile, half‑teasing, half‑serious.

Mu Yaogu felt a sharp pain in her heart, not only because a Thousand‑Flight Sin Snow lodged in her chest, but perhaps also something else, brutally torn away, blood gushing.

The silhouette suddenly extended a hand, disregarding all rules, and touched a certain point in time.

Then alone heading west, she walked endlessly along the street… In the time that followed, Xia Qingli never left Liu Tiance's side, caring for him steadfastly.
