Chapter 71: Would You Do Me the Honor of a Dance?

Xu Yancheng heard the voice and sat up abruptly. "You’re here?"

"Since it’s so lively here, I’ll take my leave," Lin Lu said, turning to go.

"Wait." Xu Yancheng got out of bed and immediately noticed the lunchbox in her hands. "What are you carrying?"

...

After saying this, she stifled her laughter and hurried after Candong into the cafeteria, where a burst of laughter soon echoed out.

Qin Miao, upon hearing this, cried even harder: she was so useless, not only did she fail to help, but she had been so frightened she couldn’t even check Gourd Brother’s pulse.

"It’s just a pity. If Sun Ren possessed spiritual talent, he might have become an alchemist." Mu Gen glanced at Sun Ren, who was busily working outside, with a hint of regret in his expression.

In perfect unison, the rhinos all stepped back, leaving a large circle in the center, isolating Xu Feng alone.

After looking at the remaining Lelouch and Shirley, Zhang Shuo left with the others and went to join Kallen, who was in low spirits.

Lin Chen gazed at Lin Shuo with admiration, shouldered his long blade, and strode out with determined eyes. Yesterday, he completed ten thousand slashes in twelve hours; today, he vowed to finish within ten.

A long scroll recorded all the useful clues. Many were read out one by one by Garo, whose Western Continent accent marked him as someone who, too, had uncovered certain problems.

Though Fang Chen had suffered a family crisis from his wife’s misunderstanding, the launch of Hundred Flowers Brew dispelled his gloom. In business, he was more ambitious than Han Ning; now, his sole aim was to make his company one of the world’s top five hundred enterprises.

Suppose there existed something that guided people into dreams and fed on the energy they released while sleeping.

After saying this, Liu Yan immediately grew arrogant, as if she’d forgotten how she’d just been beaten. In her eyes, Huo Qing, Luo Yuanba, and Ye Lanhua were all just losers, daring to cause trouble at the Civil Affairs Bureau and even daring to hit her? When the police arrived, they’d be handcuffed on the spot.

I searched for you for so many years but couldn’t find you. In the end, I’d given up hope. And yet, you appeared… Such is fate’s playfulness… Unconsciously, I walked over and embraced her.

Today, the shock to them was overwhelming—so much so that they had no energy to think of anything else.

"If there’s something you need, tell me. I’ll see if I can make it happen." Prince Jun spoke politely, yet his words left room for ambiguity.

In truth, Binding Spirit was extremely clever. She could see that Mo Feng had kept a low profile from their first conversation all the way to the auction house. If it weren’t for wanting to give her a gift, perhaps Mo Feng would never have needed to buy anything—he could simply have taken it by force.

Ye Zetao nodded slightly; he understood the situation now. He reckoned that this time, Situ Shang had likely been captured in secret by their opponents, and then a force had been gathered to help break their control and let him remain here to gather information.

Just as he was lost in his dreams, someone shook him awake. Opening his eyes, he saw his two cousins, one named Gongsun Xiyu, the other Gongsun Xiyun.

Director Chu Yuan was the very pinnacle of the old martial arts film era. However, his films in the 1980s were no longer as popular as before.

Though Sun Shengya was full of resentment toward Li Zhongke, when asked about the old master’s affairs, he still answered truthfully, "Almost everything has been arranged."

The fund operator for the Shaojie Foundation, following Zhang Shaojie’s instructions, took a bullish stance on the Hong Kong dollar in the medium term, while flexibly employing short-term contrarian strategies, constantly buying high and selling low in wave-like trades.

Prince Jun watched all this quietly. Qiu Jiacheng’s intervention was within his expectations. However, what he hadn’t anticipated was how sharp Qiu Jiacheng’s move would be. It seemed the conflict between Qiu Jiacheng and Zhao Liansheng was anything but recent.
