Chapter 38: Wearing a Padded Jacket to the Beach

“President, you’re back!”
“President, are you all right?”
“President…”
The Elder, sensing the time was right, rose and walked forward, just in time to see Di Yunshen scolding someone.
“If there’s a next time you act so recklessly…”
Nancy watched Tang Ji cornered by three men, being shoved back and forth without retaliating, his expression pained and helpless.
Seeing Su Tie’s awkwardness, Wan Ying finally realized what an honest and simple man he truly was! Unable to defy societal prejudice, she obediently returned home in the end.
“Yes, Brother Dong.” The three elite warriors personally selected by Third Eye growled in unison, drawing their mountain-splitting blades and advancing.
Nancy’s first instinct was to leave; Ji Mochen’s gaze and tone made her instantly understand the underlying meaning of his words.
At that moment, the emergency lights in the police station flickered on, accompanied by piercing alarms—clear evidence that something had gone wrong inside.
He had merely fainted from blood loss and was not in any life-threatening danger. Hearing this, the brothers present leapt up in joy.
He had known the Man in Black Robes for many years and could kill him without hesitation—let alone Bai Yujing.
Of course, Xiao Xuan knew when to gloss over the details, perfectly omitting how Senior Sister Bai Ruoyan from Qingcheng had decided to rely on him. For a moment, Shui Furong’s mind went completely blank.
“The location on this treasure map in my hand is at the northwest corner. I recall there’s a body of water there. Could it actually be hidden underwater? That would be quite troublesome,” Xi Yue said.
She immediately gripped her phone, a little flustered. Was Li Yao telling her to hide it?
But he hadn’t anticipated the other party would drug him, so now, with his limbs weak, he had no way to go and support Yan Xi.
If Ye Bai won several rounds in a row and defeated all the strongest here, naturally no one else would dare challenge him, and his winning streak would be forced to end. The money Ye Bai could eventually take, though substantial, would still be within the Xin family’s acceptable limits.
Lang Hongxiang’s eyes narrowed. This man had to be a genius from the mainland; his strength had already reached the peak of six stars, and his combat power rivaled theirs—at least at the King-sealing level. The other party had clearly come to seize the Star Crystal Vein.
Ahead of them was a massive space screen, displaying the battle within Beast City in vivid detail.
The moon above seemed to suddenly shine brighter, just like Qian’er’s heart in that moment.
Seeing that even the waste stones in this shop yielded high-priced jade, the crowd lost all composure, scattering to snatch up stones before Chen Xinghai could finish cutting his.
Lin Fei, growing more and more frustrated, finally put on her eye mask and earplugs and dozed off with her head tilted.
Who was Young Master Liu? The second son of the prestigious Liu family—how could he be treated like this by a bunch of cooks wielding ladles? After a word with Young Master Liu, they would be sure to teach those bastards a proper lesson, Zheng Hong thought to herself as she hurried to his private room.
On the official road from Chang’an to Shangdang, a grand convoy moved slowly. The procession was led by Tian Yu, for it was Princess Qingyang’s marriage escort. Fearing mishaps along the way, Guo Jia had specially dispatched capable warriors from the nearby Longdan to await Tian Yu’s orders.
But his hands were slick with grease and he couldn’t get a hold; all he could do was wind the other end of Feng Xueling’s sash around and drag his mother over.
“General Liu’s words are wise. Lord Shan is a pillar of talent; he will surely bring peace and order to Bingzhou’s administration, demonstrating His Majesty’s foresight,” Yang Biao said. He was not merely echoing Liu Yu, but did genuinely admire Shan Tianji’s abilities; the post of governor was one he was more than capable of handling.
