Chapter 57: The Little Boy (1)

Seeing Lin Xiaoyan's movement, a flash of amusement crossed the man's eyes.
"What? Weren't you quite bold just a moment ago?"
Hearing the man's baffling words, Lin Xiaoyan looked at He Qi'an, her eyes asking silently: Who is this?
He Qi'an glared at the man beside him. "Let's go, I'll take you home," He Qi'an said to Lin Xiaoyan.
"No, no need, I can just hail a cab," Lin Xiaoyan quickly declined.
"Let's go..."
"Why must you insist on this, Yidu? I, Cai Mao, believe in keeping matters strictly separated! While I excel at training and commanding a navy, I am truly unsuited for diplomatic negotiations and wordplay. Thus, Zirou is the truly suitable person for this," Cai Mao replied to Kuai Yue.
"If I bring back Zhou Yu's corpse, everyone might as well wash their necks and wait for the Marquis of Wu's frantic revenge." If Lu Su brought back Zhou Yu's body, it would solidify the fact that Zhou Yu was murdered by them. Given Sun Ce's temperament, he would not rest until Zhang Zhao and the others were utterly exterminated.
"Right, up until now, this lord has never had the experience of being kidnapped." Yes, if one were attacked simply out of affection, the attacks should have happened much earlier. Therefore, the significance of the sudden attack three days ago remained unclear. Perhaps she had been investigated long ago, and the actual move was only made recently.
Could this thunder-fire crystal truly be entirely useless? To others, it might indeed be a tasteless chicken rib, but to Li Tian, it was a priceless treasure.
On the afternoon of the same day, Alliance Commander Haidongqing led the Alliance's Fourth Army out of Guangning. With the support of Han Shi'e, commander of the Leopard Cavalry, he rendezvoused with Li Zixiong at Jiming Ferry and began crossing the river northward.
Having confirmed this, Kreuzeniel increased the distance between them, his hands shaping a massive block of magic power.
Upon seeing this order, Chiji She felt not joy, but anxiety. This was a trap. Although Shibi Khagan appeared to grant him the authority to make discretionary decisions on the spot, he was actually bound hand and foot by the rope of "maintaining north-south relations."
"Alright... Then I'll have to trouble you, auntie..." Jiang Yuan nodded gratefully, dragged his large suitcase, and walked outside.
Seeing that Jiang Yuan offered no objection, Vice President Qi wiped away a sweat. Pushing Jiang Yuan out to host this press conference had indeed been a bit forced to begin with. First of all, he hadn't even dared to mention Jiang Yuan's protective suit. Now that things had reached this critical juncture, he could only grit his teeth and bring it up.
The elderly temple keeper rubbed his cloudy old eyes, looked closer, and chuckled with a grin, "Ah, it's the third young master of the Western Zhang family. And this is the eldest young master, and this..." Zhang Ang interrupted, "I didn't ask you to identify people, hurry up and bring out the wine and food," treating the City God Temple like a tavern.
As the incantation proceeded word by word, Zhuang Yi's other system ability began to enter the great gate, and the runic patterns on the gate lit up one by one.
Therefore, within the Shadow Sect, she could be considered a bit of an anomaly. Yet, she seemed unwilling to give up, eagerly striking up conversations with every newly arrived disciple and behaving the same way toward handsome senior brothers, though not a single one of them cared to entertain her.
He Niannian was a clever girl. If she were allowed to keep pondering, it was inevitable that she might discover something.
"Alright." The other party nodded, then turned and walked outside, and I immediately followed.
Among them, Su Zhou spotted his roommate, the Spaniard with bright golden hair and honey-colored eyes.
I almost wanted to laugh at the sight of so many Ghost Emperors huddling behind a single rock, but without hesitation, I immediately ran toward them. Unable to see my figure, the Essence Fire Beast let out a few angry roars and returned to the rock spring.
"No wonder! If that's the case, then it's certainly a good thing!" Qin Feng said with a smile. Right now, he was practically the only game in town with no competitors.
Takeuchi Reina had no idea what the Tiger-Faced Man was up to, nor did Takahashi Musashi understand why the Tiger-Faced Man would do such a thing.
