Chapter 566: Phone

Shen Siyuan’s mother had originally planned to invite Jiang Yingxue to Haifeng Restaurant for dinner that evening.

But with so many extra people showing up suddenly, Haifeng Restaurant was out of the question—there’d be another chance next time.

“Did the old man go back?”

It was only now, since Shen Jianjun’s arrival, that the two had a chance to talk alone.

Shen Jianjun sighed and said, “He’s already gone. Before leaving, he wanted to see you one last time.”

“He just left like that?”

Jing Xian glared and snapped, “Nonsense! You went to borrow money? Who believes that? And what if you couldn’t borrow it? You thought you could weasel out? Not a chance. Do you think I’m some idle fool, or some child you can easily fool?”

Xu Huinan looked at Aoxue with doubt, unwilling to believe—afraid she might be hiding some discomfort from him.

Hearing the follower’s voice, Qin Wuliang, seated atop an ice mountain, slowly opened his eyes.

First, he dribbled: Yan Le generated a faint internal qi in his right palm, one with a slight suction, drawing the basketball to his hand and letting it fall, then drawing it back again—this was dribbling. He mastered the technique in just a few minutes, gradually gaining full control.

People ran to higher ground, watching helplessly as house after house collapsed with thunderous crashes, dust and debris crashing into the water, splashing high fountains. Everyone clutched their chests in sorrow; as the saying goes: building a house, working till you cry. The labor was normal, but it took years of savings to build even one home.

Yu Jue was not a talkative man, especially on the battlefield—he barely managed a few words for Hua Feiye, let alone enemy troops. He fixed his gaze on Chu Yichen, shook his silver spear, and pointed it straight toward the heavens.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhihu suddenly realized he didn’t know—he… Xu Zhihu looked blankly behind him, searching for someone who could answer.

That night, as Jiuge packed her bags, Jun Yumo ke sat astride the bed, staring fixedly at her.

During the time his body recovered, his brother patrolled day and night. In his spare moments, he told us about his experiences in Xinen City.

Optimism was a major reason Yao Tian could endure so long. When bored, Yao Tian talked to himself, speaking aloud to no one. He also talked to the sky, to the earth, to cockroaches and other insects. In Yao Tian’s eyes, all life was a friend, every creature capable of conversation.

Because, in Fang Fei and the others’ view, Jiang Shi had not committed suicide—she had been framed and driven to death by Zhu Zixuan. Jiang Shi’s death brought no grief from Fang Fei and the others; they saw it as an omen that Zhu Zixuan intended to harm them, a warning shot.

“Attack! Dao Ye, counter!” Xiu Hen shouted. If this strike landed, his Aludore would surely take down the Great Sword Demon.

“He’s a mole in the Ghost Robe Guard.” Chu Chi knew that to gain Liancheng’s attention, he had to reveal enough information.

The Empress’s face changed: “So dangerous?” Her brow furrowed—this was beyond her expectations.

After speaking, the two walked out of the office one after the other. Then, Tang Jian boarded a torpedo boat with Cheng Biguang, Ye Zuguai, and others, heading first toward the northern entrance of Weihaiwei Port.

The information He Yusheng revealed shocked He’s wife and He Miao—they never expected He Yusheng would willingly abandon his current power and status, and even less expected Nie Zhenbang would refuse.

Hu Ruoyu was considered a fierce general in the Yunnan Army, and he still met the basic requirements of enemy reconnaissance—but he never imagined his scouts had been bribed by the Youth Army, returning to report that the three locations mentioned held only one regiment each from the Sichuan Army, utterly defenseless.

At this moment, Duan Qirui and Cao Kun were somewhat resentful—not because they disrespected Nie Shicheng, nor because they deliberately made things hard for Feng Guozhang, but because they believed that in the face of opportunity, all men were equal.
