Chapter 159: 158 Poor, One Cultivates Virtue Alone; Successful, One Benefits the World

158 Poor, One Cultivates Virtue Alone; Successful, One Benefits the World

"My home is in the Yimeng Mountain area — it's an old revolutionary base, but it's very poor. I remember from the time I understood things, I had one thought in my heart: I had to get out of these great mountains, and never come back."

"So I studied desperately, and in the end got my wish — I passed the entrance exam for Shen Cai and came to the most prosperous city in the country. How could I possibly stay in a place poorer than my old home? What about my parents? They're still counting on me to earn money to support them in their old age."

"I can understand that, because I'm pretty much the same as you."

Ye Qiu said nothing; his eyes were like the stars in the sky, radiating a silver-white gleam.

The method was simple, the goal was clear. The first batch of soldiers did very well — many of them went through hellish forced marches, and their fates were changed forever.

They all raised their weapons, glaring viciously at Zhang Qian and the others, as if they might pounce at any moment.

Grumbling inwardly, Jida found a spot shielded from the direct sun, covered himself with a piece of cloth, and went on snoring loudly.

"This second one, I'm afraid, may be a bit difficult." Zhu Bajie gazed at the still surface of the pond and said hesitantly.

At this sight, Zi Han landed atop the ancient tree. Right before his eyes was that ancient city. Looking at it now, the city gates stood wide open with only two guards posted at the entrance — but though there were only two, both of them possessed the cultivation of the Void God Realm.

They saw those people channeling power into the formation, and within the Jin Guang, Chu Tian was immediately bombarded by a frenzy of attacks. Naturally, these attacks had no effect on Chu Tian. When the Jin Guang faded, the crowd saw Chu Tian standing within the formation.

Hua Wuji was still sent back to his room. Following Hua Mantang's instructions, four servants were dispatched to look after him — a rare bit of treatment Hua Wuji actually got to enjoy.

"Forget it, forget it, brother — you've had quite a bit to drink. Rest here tonight." Tree Emperor urged him to stay.

The ancient star was vast and mighty; viewed from afar it was a stretch of deep blue, the entire star enveloped by an endless sea. Within that sea, countless peaks and halls rose towering from the waters.

Tong Yujin suddenly beamed and said, "Thanks, Lord An!" Then, cupping his fists, he turned and left.

One of the two studied dance, the other studied acting. Once they went up, they didn't sing at all — they just said outright that they couldn't sing well.

"Just now, Consort Zheng said she wished to offer a token of her regard to the generals at the border, so we concubines were discussing the matter." Wei Shu cut off Wei Han's words directly, smiling as she looked at Ye Qingyu and spoke.

Yan Xi and Yan Jiu jumped down in one motion, rolled on the ground, and ended up behind two other stone pillars on either side of Ye Fenglin and Jiesen.

Tong Yujin finally breathed a sigh of relief. The first day after the temple fair, she slept straight through until noon before getting up.

Demons give people the impression of being evil and deeply sinful. The moment many people hear "demon race," their first reaction is fear, disgust, and keeping their distance — yet they forget that the demon race and the god race are actually the same; it's just that the former is fiercer and the latter gentler. They don't understand that you can know a person's face without knowing their heart.

Out of the corner of her eye she glanced at Zhao Minzhi — sure enough, she saw Zhao Minzhi's face had gone pale. It seemed she had been saying plenty of nasty things about her just now; otherwise, why would she look like that?

After all, the benefit of giving away one fan and the benefit of selling a batch of fans are not the same.

Xia Yufei seemed to startle slightly, then lowered her head a little, pressed her lips together, and said nothing.

She struggled desperately, but by now Wang Jiancheng's eyes had gone red — her resistance only enraged him further.

The carriage had returned to Wang Fu. Before it had even come to a full stop, a guard immediately stepped forward to report that someone from the Green Guard had urgent business and was requesting an audience with Liang Ci, and had already been waiting in the residence for some time.

But before he had run more than a few steps, he heard someone shout: "Long live the 32nd Army!" — The predecessor of the Red 32nd Army was the 9th Army Corps of the Red First Front Army. After the meeting of the Red First and Red Fourth Front Armies, it served as part of the Left Column and moved with the Red Fourth Front Army. This time it had come specifically, on behalf of the Red Fourth Front Army, to welcome the Red Sixth Army Corps.
