Chapter 171: GAIA!!!

Comrade Xiao Wang left after signing the contract with the club’s new manager and coaches, then turned and walked away.

But he didn’t take Yingdao and Shengqi with him, because immediately afterward, the entire IG team was shipped off to the NXG base that same night.

Who could have imagined that IG, known for its lax and carefree attitude, had launched intensive training during the off-season, while NXG’s five-man squad—famously praised for its military-style discipline—was still leisurely enjoying their vacation.

Hell laughs

But on the actual day of the children’s birthdays, thoughtful elders would still offer something—a new set of clothes, a bowl of longevity noodles, a few treats—quietly, yet filled with care; and Emperor Yuan’an’s birthday gift to Princess Zhi Ling was precisely this Jinghua Garden, hence why no extension was permitted.

After completing the guidance task and repeatedly reminding Xia Mi, Su Enxi glanced curiously at her companions, intrigued by this question.

Seeing her own faint yet beautiful reflection in the bronze mirror, Yan Ruomeng clenched her teeth—she hated that this place had no camera to preserve her beauty.

Fu Xuechen performed with ferocious speed but ended up with a score of 250: four hits out of ten arrows, five shots behind Xie Yu Cheng, and nowhere near Cheng Defang, who took first place; he was ultimately rated “Good—Low,” leaving him deeply ashamed.

Li Chunfeng wondered curiously: who could this important person be that the junior was meeting so late, and why was it all so secretive?

In that environment just now, even a slight friction could spark a massive conflict, escalating out of control until it became irreconcilable.

The ceremony had to continue; despite Yu Zuo’s continued favor with the Empress Dowager, after a few casual words, he could only step aside and watch the Seventh Imperial Prince and Princess Zhi Ling proceed with their birthday wishes.

The influx of numerous students also urgently required Liu Bei to improve existing paper and papermaking techniques, reduce costs, and increase output to meet the students’ learning needs.

Li Chunfeng looked at the soldiers and immediately sensed grave danger—just from their aura, he could tell they were all mid-Fifth Stage experts; with only his small group and the dozen men whose inner strength was utterly depleted, they stood no chance—they had to devise a plan to get rid of them.

Gu Chen was startled—he could feel Shi Hu’s meridians strengthening, his spiritual energy surging rapidly—could this really be the effect of the pill?

Xiao Ziqian’s dark eyes gleamed with cunning; he wrapped his arm around Bai Muxue’s slender waist, pulling her soft body against the white wall behind her.

Ye Tian activated his demonic aura; the Shoulder Armor Beast advanced forward instead of retreating. Ye Tian closed in, his fist crackling with violent wind, striking the beast without mercy. Though the Shoulder Armor Beast was a demonic beast and lacked human-level intelligence, it was far smarter than ordinary creatures, knowing well the principle of leveraging its strengths and avoiding its weaknesses.

“Alright, I’ll transfer the remaining salary to your accounts. Finally, we can hire new people.” Dai Han stretched lazily, smirking at Fei Yihan.

Nangong Yueye’s handsome face was indistinct in the night, yet uniquely alluring; a sliver of emerald-green light flashed across.

The name “Lili” vanished from the world, yet rumors about supporting Lucifer and Lilith being together still flew everywhere; among her friends, a few with conscience finally came to comfort her.

Ignoring Xiao Shu’s struggles, Ling Ran changed her clothes, picked her up, and drove away from the island resort.

Seeing Yan Bo after work caught Yang Xiruo off guard—and stirred a touch of annoyance. Somehow, that once-felt warmth had long since vanished; now, only annoyance remained.

Luo Shun heard she was going to find the Master and didn’t think much of it—he called after her in a drawn-out tone, reminding her to come back soon, as her afternoon tea was ready. Jing Yi dashed out of the parlor like the wind, not hearing his reminder; even if she had heard it, she had no mind for afternoon tea now.
