Chapter 205: Guanzhong Needs You to Grow Talent

Si Nong Temple.

As the important Northern Wei agency responsible for grain storage, warehouse management, and the supply of salary rice to court officials, Si Nong Temple was not a single building but surrounded by subsidiary institutions such as the Jitian Office, Tai Cang Office, and Tai Cang.

Li Shuang arrived there with Hou Jing and a contingent of troops, surrounding the place.

Such an important government office now had alarmingly few officials inside.

Seeing Li Shuang arrive, they were terrified, trembling.

Judging by the way she looked, this idea of hers must have existed for a long time, but she never had the chance to act on it.

Otherwise, all the etiquette lessons Zhang Tianyang had specially arranged for her these past few days would have been in vain.

The flame seed of Hanhuo resided within the imperial palace of the Snowy Marshlands, heavily guarded—after all, the Holy Flame of the Li Fire Dynasty must be kept under strict watch.

Under the bright moonlight, I saw a massive truck speeding down the distant highway—it was undoubtedly the one carrying the Shuihui, and it had not yet reached the seafood market.

My uncle seemed troubled; I didn't know what was going on, but his reluctant expression clearly hid some deep secret.

At that moment, I quoted a line from a movie, feeling as if a Guhaozi had possessed me.

"What did they say? Did you find out?" Gu Jingchen leapt from his chair, asking urgently.

"But they're accusing me of premeditated murder… are you certain bail is possible?" Jian Ning asked doubtfully.

Among the three Blood Jades—the Qilin Egg, the Phoenix Embryo, and the Dragon Scale—the Phoenix Embryo, being inherently Yang in nature, could never serve as Suzhu's host; thus, what we now seek is best either the Qilin Egg or the Dragon Scale.

You Luo caught Xue Lan with his shoulder, preventing him from collapsing, otherwise his clothes would have been soaked.

After walking a short distance, Shen Jianghu stared at a grove of trees and sneered: "Since you're already here, why hide? Come out and die." Seeing no movement from the grove, Zhang Shundao suspected Shen Jianghu had become addicted to pretending to be a master.

He stayed behind after soccer practice because Xu Kun told him a coach wanted to see him, and when Lü Yang finished, he walked over voluntarily.

For tasks that are extremely difficult, a senior Ghost Official is dispatched to oversee them, while mid-level Ghost Officials become errand runners.

"How dare a mere Gathering Spirit cultivator defy me? A frog at the bottom of a well!" The Taoist sneered, sheathing his sword, his mockery deepening.

"Judging by the smile on your face when you returned, you've already secured the position of Sikou," Xu Fan said as if asking, yet his tone was certain.

Of the first group of thirty-odd Lu family members, only ten remain; Lu Yaxin wept upon hearing the news.

Zhao Wují did not know that Xu Fan had already used his maximum strength; though he had anticipated Zhao Wují's power, he never expected that even in full state, his own strength still fell short of Zhao Wují's.

Outside, customers waited, chatting and laughing with acquaintances, the atmosphere warm and natural.

For some reason, every time Gu Xiuqi acted, team members would first doubt whether they themselves had made a mistake—even Bai Qi was no exception—so all team members stared blankly at Bai Qi.

Her mood had deteriorated to the point she no longer wanted to use nicknames, which made Zhou Qiyang feel more acutely that her emotions had reached some critical threshold.

Monan was also surprised—it was only the Top 100 battle, and he'd already encountered a top-five Dragon List expert; yet he felt no worry, for he would have to face them sooner or later, better to get it over with early.

"Group Leader, this man is stubborn and unyielding—I think we should use torture," Zhang Lan said quickly as Zhu Muyun's expression grew darker.

Indeed, the Reception Officials had begun to suspect him, especially Hei Yan—Jiang Lai often sensed his presence; no doubt, he was being watched.
