Chapter 168: Return

Shen Siyuan turned on his phone; as soon as it received a signal, he received over a dozen missed-call notifications and WeChat messages.

Shen Siyuan glanced through them; most were from Ruan Hongzhuang, either asking where he was now or saying she was worried.

She also knew she couldn't reach Shen Siyuan, so they were all her own mutterings.

Besides that, there was one from Zhou Chuan, asking why he didn't say a word when taking leave, whether he would come to work tomorrow, and so on.

Shen Siyuan

At that time, when they learned Gu Lin Zheng was getting married, this group of Gu Liuye's close friends were quite surprised.

"Get them out; this isn't a place just anyone can enter." Old Master Liu appeared somewhat angry.

With seven steel needles thus driven in, Aiken lacked even the strength to cry out in agony; his face twisted grotesquely, and his Primordial Spirit grew dim and lifeless.

The next day, the Magic played their home game again against the Washington Wizards led by "Agent Zero" Arenas; the last time they met was in the second game Sun Zhuo played after joining the Magic; due to terrible luck and form, plus an injury sustained in that match, Sun Zhuo performed very poorly against Arenas, letting Arenas beat him once.

Shortly afterward, they started arguing in the doctor's examination room, and when Zhou Zhou arrived, she happened to witness exactly this scene.

His speed and attacks showed a subtle change beyond what was presented in the video.

Yet his mother—was she afraid Zhou Zhou would run away? Afraid Zhou Zhou would despise him? Despise his taciturnity? Despise his poverty???

Unfortunately, Jiang Haofeng's movements were too slow; Shi Yi had long since noticed his drowsy appearance.

Jiang Miyin didn't understand psychology, but judging by today's events, she strongly agreed with He Xize's words; that parent seemed seriously ill.

At the critical moment of life and death, fatigue seemed temporarily cast aside; in this life-or-death struggle, a single rare lapse meant immediate separation of life and death; everyone forgot everything, stabbing and slashing with every blade and spear. Once entered, the battlefield was hard to leave.

The giant dragon in the sky attracted the bloodthirsty beasts' attention; they all abandoned their battles with the Green-Tusked Leopard People and flew scrambling up the mountain, hoping to prevent Shang from reaching the peak.

Within two or three moves, he utterly defeated two potential experts born with divine strength; Shuixie's face showed no particular pride or satisfaction; she still smiled faintly, the two waterfalls and whirlpools beneath her feet rapidly drawing together, constantly flowing from the soles of her feet into her meridians, then merging into her dantian, water returning to the great sea.

The First Wife ignored her, looking only at Zhuang Xinchuan: "Xinchuan, you know the First Lady is the one who runs the tea shop; if I truly wanted to find evidence, it would be effortless! By then, don't blame the First Lady for being ruthless!" She almost spat out these last words through clenched teeth, yet at the same time, tears filled her eyes.

By this time, Shu Lv finally remembered to ask Zhan Mei how Mu Ruofei had been injured and for what reason he had earned merit.

Just moments ago they said no one was here, and now someone has arrived; Zhi Lou quickly pushed Shang away and awkwardly straightened her clothes.

Mu Donglin descended the stairs smoothly, unnoticed and unwatched, stuffing the cardboard box into a Jinbei van he drove; such vans were everywhere on the streets, ordinary beyond ordinary.

Le Qing asked Qiuju to help take it down, tore off a piece, and put it in her mouth; though it carried the fishy smell of raw fish, the taste was indeed good; the fresh fragrance of the fish meat was preserved, permeated with the aroma of the marinade; even raw, it was flavorful when chewed, let alone after cooking.

These words were like a basin of cold water, dousing the excitement that had just ignited among the nobles. The nobles grew wary, looking at Qin Tian with suspicious eyes.

"Tell me, will she come back?" Kun Peng stared at Lu Chen just like a child in the dark who couldn't find the way home; he was so lost, so afraid.

Fang Zong and Morgana were both decisive and straightforward; a few words settled everything; Fang Zong looked at Holy Kyle and found Holy Kyle nodding slightly.
