Chapter 565: Bad Habit

On stage, Jiang Nian only heard a faint stir of heckling.

But it was far away.

His attention was all on the manuscript—damn, it was seriously long. After he finished reading it, his family tree was probably going to get shorter.

Jiang Nian figured the first line didn't need to be read. The rest should be about the same, so he started cutting corners.

"Dear teacher..."

He blabbered on up there for a stretch, while the line below had long since erupted in complaints.

Are you cursing me?

That girl—she seemed really happy that I could strike out, probably thinking I'd buried the hatchet with Maliu and the others.

"How did you all get here?" After a long silence, Qin Feng was the first to break the quiet and spoke up.

The moment Bai Yi said this, not only did Professor Chen stay quiet for a long time, even I was caught off guard for a moment.

"These are some methods of cultivating and dispelling illusion arts." Jiang Hua's eyes shifted as he poured everything about illusion arts straight into Hua Tiancheng's mind.

Calling in got no answer. Huang Xu was about to go in when Lu Xun stopped him. This secret chamber had been built by Cao Cao, and since everyone could hide here it was clearly quite safe—at the very least it was riddled with mechanisms, and sending someone in would be extremely dangerous. Lu Xun suggested letting off smoke. Everyone agreed.

I wanted to go up and talk to her—it's been so long since we met. That time behind Aunt Qian's house, I thought I'd never see her again, but—here, of all places, I ran right into her.

But Nie Zhenbang couldn't help thinking one layer deeper. At a time like this, Liu Yong coming by specifically to bring this up couldn't be that simple. Liu Yong showing up in person, once he set that attitude down, was a touch and a shock to every leading cadre in the province.

In my view, the reason that old man gave Chen Hudan the business card was to have him pass on a message. Among the three of us, only I could read the Qin seal script on the card, so the person the old man wanted to pass the message to was probably me.

After that, Wei Lin, Chen Le, as well as Xu Hongzhuan and Zhou Chuanjia all delivered sternly worded speeches—without exception, every one of them had their sights set on the same target: the Ouke Group.

Originally, the fox clan had an ability called "Stealing the Beam and Replacing the Pillar"—it could sacrifice one demon tail in exchange for a chance to escape.

Xu Feng was deep in thought when he suddenly heard a clatter of footsteps coming from outside the door.

The next day at work, nothing seemed any different. Lu Si was still poised and graceful, her performance beyond reproach, as if nothing had happened at all.

This was the first time Lin Hanxi had taken the initiative to be so intimate with Yi Yuefeng. Clearly, she had done it without thinking, but Yi Yuefeng was especially stirred. When her soft body pressed against his strong chest, he was indeed stunned for a moment, yet what welled up in his heart was a strange sense of fulfillment.

Bai Luoxi waved from behind and called out cheerfully, "Come by again next time you're free, ha!" Judging by her look, she was no good sort—he'd only bluffed her by sheer luck this time. If there was a next time, the outcome would likely be hard to predict.

"Ha?" The soldier leading the team and the official who had come to welcome so-and-so were both startled by so-and-so's sudden bout of craziness, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

Mu Zhihan's big eyes swept across Pei Junhao's face, and an inexpressible ache welled up in her heart. He had done wrong himself, yet pinned a baseless charge on her—looks like he and she really could never get along again.

Xuanyuan Tingye looked at the border region map the Hong Emperor had given him, but his mind kept drifting to her sleeping expression. What was wrong with him? A very unnatural feeling rose in his heart.

Lancelot kept his head down, continuing to look at his own scroll, as if he hadn't noticed so-and-so's movements at all. Seeing that Lancelot wasn't reacting, so-and-so settled down and slowly opened the first scroll to study it carefully.

"So beautiful, so sexy! Look at that deep cleavage—at least a D cup," all the boys in the class stopped laughing at once, drooling as they thought.
