Volume 1, Chapter 53: She Is My Secretary

"Shen Yixiao, does your wife know that you came here to back up another woman?" The man standing opposite Shen Yixiao was named Chen Dong. He used to be a mortal enemy of Shen Yixiao, and the two often clashed.

Naturally, he had heard about the romantic history between me and Shen Yixiao.

Hearing Chen Dong bring me up, a flash of irritation crossed Shen Yixiao's face. "Even if she knows, she won't blame me. Lu Xiaoyun is my most capable secretary, and purely out of professional relationship, I would naturally come."

He sounded righteous, but Chen Dong exposed him without hesitation. "Is that so? Then why is she your secretary, yet she had to contact Liang Feng first, and then have Liang Feng contact you? Isn't that a huge waste of time..."

Because of the advance notice, Guo Fei had prepared ahead of time. After notifying the people who needed to be informed, he made all preparations as midnight approached and lay down on the bed.

The next morning, Job came to the dorm and, without a word, began packing up the bedding. Some of the older items were thrown directly into the downstairs dumpster. Then, clutching his computer and other belongings, he walked out the door. From beginning to end, he did not utter a single word to Guo Fei or Zhao Hao. Guo Fei wanted to lend a hand, but Zhao Hao pushed him aside directly.

Seeing Ren Pingzhi concede defeat, White-Eyed smiled and tossed out a jade talisman containing some of the essential secrets of the Sword Control Technique.

Many of these high-value gifts were purchased using foreign currencies. Thanks to leaping advancements in civilian technology, foreigners could also directly use foreign currencies to buy gifts and tip, as long as it was within their exchange limits.

Not to mention the difficulty of refining them, they were also extremely time-consuming. For cultivators whose time was never enough, such items were violently envied luxuries.

Packing up his things, he concealed them within his all-treasure pouch. These items were not suitable for others to see, lest they inevitably provoke suspicion.

Once Lucy arrived at Ray Allen's film crew, he also saw the other main cast members of the film.

"Oh, give me a break. It was clearly cleaned by hired help. If not for that, we would have arrived long ago." Ah, the Fat Man's act couldn't last even three seconds before he was mercilessly exposed by the Fourth Brother standing nearby.

Guo Fei, who had broken through Vivian's obstruction in one breath, was not as graceful as one might have imagined. Although the golden sword shattered the dagger seemingly with ease, the rebound force still shattered his physical body, leaving him covered in blood.

"Humph, stop searching, all of you. Just let her die." Shu Lian's eyes were filled with infinite jealousy.

Lifting her foot to step inside seemed like a completely thoughtless action. Even though Ruan Xin kept warning herself not to go in, by the time she regained her senses, she was already standing by the bed.

Upon hearing this, Fuqiu Ao immediately grabbed the token in his hand, and after just one glance, his expression changed drastically, as if he had seen something extraordinary.

During these twenty days, Lu Chenxing maintained the operation of the Heavenly Dao Divine Power of Life and the Heavenly Dao Divine Power of Yin and Yang without a single moment of rest.

Po Juedingfeng nodded at Ren, and Dingfeng Ren understood. He took three maple red leaves—each leaf possessing three lobes—out of the porcelain bottle, plucked one of the lobes, and swallowed it.

For some inexplicable reason, this feeling could not be expressed in concrete words, to the extent that Su Yi felt a subconscious resistance inside toward meeting Yue Hong.

He explained this reasoning to his younger brother, which was essentially calculating and offering him an explanation: the siege wouldn't last very long, and if he could just hold out, there would be a turning point.

The man stopped at the edge of the light, flashed a smile at Ruan Xin, and greeted her in Mandarin tinged with a regional accent.

Perhaps some officials also saw through the origins of the matter, but everyone was exceedingly clever, practicing self-preservation and refusing to stick their necks out for Yun Yue.

The Emperor was enraged by Fan Li. After reading the document, he slammed it down onto the ground in fury and immediately summoned the Grand Council, intending to charge him with a crime.

"It's hard to say right now. Currently, only I support you, but we cannot rule out the possibility that the other four State Elders might support them. Although on the surface they remain neutral, who they truly support is anyone's guess!" the elderly man said.

In any case, the two already had an irreconcilable conflict; in this world, how could anyone both make money and avoid offending people?

Xiao Na's entire face flushed red instantly. Looking around to make sure no one was paying attention, she reached out and pinched the soft flesh around Shen Zhou's waist hard.

In a world like the Earth Ruins, confidentiality suddenly became much less important. Everything was protected by the sects anyway—otherwise, why bother joining a sect?

The market price for a premium Spirit Gathering Pill is currently around one hundred and fifty spiritual stones each, while an ordinary Spirit Gathering Pill goes for about sixty-five spiritual stones each.

Beneath her tears, her eyes were as clear as a deep pool, seemingly allowing one to see straight to the bottom. From her gaze, he could detect not a shred of hatred, nor any trace of strangeness, only... a trace of incomprehension and resolute determination.

The group went up to the 15th floor together. Li Zhijun led them into the office, first handling the checkout procedures for Sister Jiang, and then arranging the onboarding procedures for Sister Fang.

Kuku Lunming said, "My lord, this is easy to resolve. I can split off a trace of their aura so that outsiders won't be able to tell."

The Crown Prince returned to his bedchamber and instructed the serving eunuchs to retrieve all the sleeping robes he had worn in previous years.

The moment Xiao Qingru made her appearance, Jiang Chuan's eyes lit up instantly, and he even joined the surrounding people in applauding and cheering.

Cheng Chumo and Xue Rengui exchanged glances, said nothing, and once again tacitly plunged together into the battlefield.

Consort Duan was traditionally a woman of few words. Noble Consort Wan wanted to say something, but before she had the chance, she heard Noble Lady Li speak.

Little did they know that Nian Xilan had listened to Wen Xianqing's advice some time earlier and walked around more every day, making the delivery of this child unusually smooth.

Even during the former Sui Dynasty, this was considered a supreme treasure. Originally reluctant to part with it, Yu Zhining found a graceful out upon hearing Li Chengqian say that.

One either had to find a vein to mine or trade directly with others; mining yielded far too little return. If not for the experience points, he would have abandoned it long ago.
