Chapter 779: Unconventional in Selecting Talent

Outside the military tent, heavy snow was falling thick and fast, and cold wind poured in through the gaps at the bottom of the tent, making one shiver involuntarily.

Spring came late to the great northwest; even after the Lantern Festival had passed, it was still snowing outside.

It was already late in the day, and Fang Chongyong was at his desk writing a "memorial to the throne." Of course, given his current status, a so-called "memorial" was essentially the same thing as a government decree.

He wrote in the memorial:

The rise and fall of a nation is never without cause—one

As for how to resist government taxation, for the weaving industry it was familiar ground; everyone knew what to do.

The eyes of everyone present fell on Hu Xin, wanting to know what he would do next.

"Girl, you'd better think this through. Last time you took the blame for that Second Master Bao and got driven out of the mansion—our relatives and neighbors laughed at us plenty, yet Second Master Bao didn't even say a word of thanks. That's enough to show the Jia family is cold and heartless."

He had hit her because she hadn't come to class; now that he'd hit her, she wouldn't be able to attend class for several days.

Wang Shizhen's face immediately darkened again. What did he mean, "colluding with the Xi family"? Could Lin Tailai be any more direct?

Over on the other side, Meng Jinglin was finding out about Gu Lili through the child, and Xi Ruiqi recounted in full detail how Auntie Lili had protected her.

The house also came with a fairly nice courtyard, with some potted plants and flowers growing in it, though the academician was unlikely to grow flowers here, as he had neither the ability nor the means to keep them alive.

In short, the mutated products from the plum blossom space all contained mutated energy and spiritual Qi; when martial practitioners consumed them, their martial power would increase, while ordinary people who ate them could nourish their bodies and enhance their looks.

This was Shi Fan's first time seeing the number of laws grasped by a Sage Realm cultivator described with the idiom "blanketing the sky and covering the earth."

However, they also knew that the family's mindset was somewhat stubborn; if they tried to stop their children from coming here to live, then no matter how much they wanted it, it would be of no use.

However, private military intelligence indicated that the American Sea Eagle ability organization would make a move, dispatching experts to sneak across the border to steal top-secret technical data stored in a certain military research institution in the capital.

"Luo Qi, they're all just cars on the road—what are you yelling at me for?! You must have anticipated your own fate when you came here?!" I frowned slightly and barked sternly.

Of course, if Shen Hanluo didn't want to leave and insisted on eliminating the hostage, Yin Nanfei would have no way to stop him.

Then Su Xi and Gu Haiying took the two children back to the villa, planning to move their things to the homestay.

In truth, because her sister A-Chuo had just died and Hongxian was now locked in a fight to the death with the Dharma King Wu Liang, Abbess Tan Yun truly could not bear to let A-Jiao go to that blood-soaked battlefield, so she had come up with this idea.

He looked at Gu Chenji with an unwilling expression on his face. Even if beaten to death, Song Yuchen would never have expected that Gu Chenji could be this formidable. This couldn't help but make Song Yuchen admire Gu Chenji a little more, though he didn't show it on his face.

Geng Haoshi reluctantly said goodbye to Yang Mimi and, together with his teammates, followed Yu Manman back to Chen Zhi Sports Hall.

Though Lin Yu had not been in the mortal world for long, his knowledge and experience were no less than those who had lingered on for a hundred years. Even so, he had never heard of such bizarre cultivation techniques, nor had he ever heard of such bizarre matters, and a sense of curiosity arose in his heart.

Sizzling sounds rang out everywhere as trees on the ground were blasted down by the black orbs of light, bursting into black flames.

The rumors and gossip of recent years had never ceased, and had long since tempered Gu Meng into an indestructible body.

Upon the earth, the Torch Dragon transformed into a man in black, his cold expression carrying a wicked smile. Purple-black demonic Qi coalesced into a demonic spear, gripped in his hand, its foot-long spear glow radiating forth, aimed from afar at Tang Ye.
