Yes, we are interested in the Pantao  in Yu Fengxian’s possession.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Dan smiled faintly, pulled a small pouch woven with golden thread from his sleeve, and handed it to her. \"If General Li can fulfill our wish, we shall reward you handsomely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yu took the pouch, turned her back to him, and \"quietly\" inspected its contents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden glitter filled it—all golden beads, their texture and—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setting the mood was basic work for a hostess; Fan Shouzhi’s face was flushed, and the two girls attending him were delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Shang contributed greatly to this affair; Li Zhen must reward him, even if he didn’t care—what needed doing couldn’t be skipped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Jia, who had been about to wash up, heard Xu Qingyu’s words and curiously stepped closer to ask, \"Really that miraculous?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haste and disorder—how unbecoming! Does Xue Aotian really dare wage war against us? What did they say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet every day she guarded this man—his physique and face were unparalleled, and this handsome \"man\" always obeyed her, gentle to the extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely that strike that disrupted Chi Lang; the blade narrowly missed Liu Yuqing’s head and slammed hard into the lawn, burying more than half its length.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhangming nodded. After everyone left, he turned, stared at the bloodstains on the ground, and shed tears of regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Siru saw a face pitted and scarred, hidden behind a curtain; peering upward through the curtain, she was startled and leapt back instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, Li Yang’s half-closed eyes slowly opened, gleaming with brilliance, his gaze filled with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ordered the remaining crossbow blueprints brought to him and studied them deep into the night, yet could not pinpoint the source of his familiarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell?

The Ghost Lord gazed at that familiar back figure, for an instant feeling a delusion—but only an instant. He knew better than anyone: Yan Yunqing’s current state made it impossible for him to recall his trials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All that remained for him was to guard the three fragments of the Holy Grail, preventing them from repeating or usurping the true Holy Grail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet his mind was utterly blank, endlessly questioning himself: Could all this truly be predestined? Suddenly, as if a string snapped, Lan Jiu felt his consciousness suddenly clear—it was a sensation of instantaneous breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evidence shows that those with exceptional luck are often met with some degree of exclusion—or rather, envy, jealousy, and resentment. Those with bad luck simply can’t bear to see others blessed; this psychology is universal and impossible to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Try to feel: no unusual sensation in the chest, no pain below, no special feeling at all—only a deep thirst, as if his entire body were parched and smoking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Withdraw.
