For the entire domestic public intellectual circle, that Lunar New Year’s Eve in 2005 was utterly miserable.

Leaving aside the issue of whether they took money or not, the universal brainwashing values championed by the West and the United States had always been their favored ideology—because compared to the toiling masses, they enjoyed extraordinarily comfortable lives and could access various resources from the Western world, even from neighboring countries like Japan and Korea, far earlier than the general public.

The armor of the messenger before him was clearly not of Tang army origin, but resembled that of Turkic cavalry; he couldn’t help but fear that Turkic forces had infiltrated Chang’an!

Thus, even if Yu State might harbor suspicions, without any concrete evidence, they could never rashly provoke war.

Although she had not spent long immersed in the art of forging, she had always followed Liang Yu and picked up a few secrets along the way; if a real contest were to happen, even the Top Ten Forgers would be nothing but a joke.

“What if you don’t keep me? I can’t fight you, and I can’t escape—but let me be clear: I will never become your Jing family’s breeding machine.” That was his condition.

In just a moment, Shui Qianshan’s corpse vanished without a trace, leaving only a solitary storage bag on the ground.

All of them rolled their eyes in unison… this guy acted as if it had nothing to do with him—was he hiding his strength? Was he actually a third-step powerhouse who had no fear of confronting Fan Paotzi? Otherwise, why would he appear so nonchalant? It was utterly exasperating.

Although Feng Yuanzheng said he wanted to sit down and have a proper chat with Li Kaiyu, Li Kaiyu didn’t take it seriously.

“You’re finally back!” Just as Chu Lie was lost in these thoughts, a pleasant voice suddenly rang out from within the alchemy workshop.

At first, no one paid much attention, assuming the assassin had accidentally wounded Fu’er and caused her death.

One could even live like those fortunate people from his past life: working in the front courtyard, residing in the back courtyard—enjoying high benefits while avoiding the daily commute, having maids bring various floral or fruit teas every noon, serving black tea and pastries in the afternoon, occasionally inviting colleagues to share and build camaraderie.

Lan Xi let out a bitter laugh—as if she were a traitor guilty of treason, murder, and robbery—that meeting her had required so much effort.

Alex lowered his head; finally, just as the knife was about to be bought, he abandoned his pointless pride. His voice was soft, but the plea within was unmistakable.

So these high-level experts weren’t in a hurry—they planned to wait until Shen Feng and the others emerged, then humiliate them thoroughly to regain their lost face.
