Chapter 156: Because of You (6600)

“Lu Sisi?”

Lu Sisi was sitting with her roommate at a small hotpot restaurant near campus, waiting for their food, when she heard a delighted shout from beside her.

She immediately looked up and saw Xiao Zhao standing nearby, his face glistening with oil, smiling at her.

“Zhao…” Lu Sisi paused, recognizing him as Chen Yan’s friend, but for a moment couldn’t recall how to address him.

Yu Qian listened more and more, then changed his expression on the spot, snorted at Luan Duidui, and joined the bing cake faction.

Su Yang felt the sudden mark growing on his skin was odd, but couldn’t figure out why just then; he gave Yu Yi a reassuring glance and stayed seated, letting Andre style his hair, though he didn’t follow up on Andre’s remarks—instead, he shifted the conversation to celebrity gossip.

Brother Hou acknowledged with understanding and carefully asked, “Forgive the intrusion, but regarding this newly unearthed dagger set… would you two consider parting with them?”

Xu Zixing stared at that sentence for a long time, his expression growing colder by the second; suddenly he lifted his gaze toward Xue Muchun, his eyes sharp as blades.

Catherine seemed extremely urgent; after speaking, she rushed out of the monitoring room without looking back. Wang Ye, the Hunter, and Yu Zhiming exchanged glances, each seeing the same confusion in the others’ eyes.

But after so many years under Yang Xiu’s command, her acting skills were solid; she simply listened in silence, occasionally offering a fitting expression in response.

Lu Jiayi was waiting for Zhu Qingqiu to come to her; if she didn’t show up soon, Lu Jiayi would strike hard.

Everyone was extremely satisfied with the final cut; An Taihe immediately decided to take everyone out to a restaurant to celebrate.

If I share with others what I believe is good—though I know my idea of good may not align with theirs—and yet am accused of disrespect, then I truly have grounds to complain.

Lin Yin was too lazy to think further; if not for habit, she would have already dropped her sword to the ground. Too bad she couldn’t go save Ren Yue or find Li Zhu’er.

“Liu Qu, do you really think these ten men can stop me?” On the battlefield, amidst thousands of troops and countless spears, swords, and blades, I fear nothing—how much less these ten? Han Zeng was certain Liu Qu wouldn’t dare attack him, so he felt no fear at all; the only concern he harbored was Huo Chengjun’s stubbornness.

These strange occurrences had made life unbearable for the villagers, and recalling the radiant golden light that had shone at He Jingyou’s birth, they all believed the child was an omen of misfortune. After deliberation, they ultimately decided to persuade He Jingyou to leave He Family Village and restore peace to the hamlet.

It’s ridiculous—it held our three years of emotion, and today, I threw it away like trash, reduced to a pile of dry firewood, without a trace of regret.

Gao Xianzhi walked over to Feng Changqing’s corpse and said to the trembling Bian Lingcheng: “Collect the body.” The executioner beside him raised his blade and brought it down.

“Fucking hell, this weather’s freezing me to death…” Chang Meng shouted, rubbing his ears and stomping his feet.

“You call me Dad? You really accept me as your father?” Peng Wang was overjoyed; his usually cold face broke into a rare smile.

Huo Chengjun’s idea of “taking a walk” amounted to sitting in a pavilion, gazing at the scenery by the nearby pond: the willows along the shore had sprouted fresh buds, their green filaments already drooping; a few older trees had branches dipping into the water, where a few floating duckweeds added a touch of spring.

“What conditions does this general require?” Bi Mi Gonghu wasn’t foolish; if someone said this, they must have a demand.

The dark-faced man must have given him something; even after being submerged in water for a full day, he felt no hunger.

Later, the police took Tang Mochen to the hospital to thank the kind doctor and returned the medical fees, after which he left with the child.

Chu Haoran was slightly surprised—a high-ranking general actually knew him, and claimed even those old men were aware of him. Had he really become famous within the country?
