Chapter 52 Great

The emperor drained his cup in a single gulp and instructed the Lady Yehe Nara to stay by his side. The Lady Yehe Nara cast cold glances at everyone present, yet gazed upon the emperor with tender affection. Her smile was like a radiant sun over ice, carrying a dazzling brilliance amidst her icy detachment.

"Roar!!!" Suddenly, a dragon's roar echoed from outside, startling everyone in the reception room.

"That is indeed the case. I know people nationwide say I am the most adept at making money in all of China, but China is vast and abounds with hidden talents; experts are everywhere. How could I ever deserve such a title? Take you, for instance—in my eyes, you are a true master!" Lu Caocheng said with a self-deprecating chuckle...

"I don't give a damn what you call yourself, it's none of my business! If you want to fight, let's fight, but don't say I didn't warn you—folks like you are simply not up to the task," Lin Yu said, raising his index finger and shaking it.

Yes, he had always been flamboyant and more than willing to show off in front of a crowd, but today he had stood out just a little too much, leaving him inevitably feeling somewhat gloomy.

A young man ran over to help Jiang Yang up, his face wearing a flattering smile and an obvious expression of ingratiation.

Regaining her freedom, Tang Shiyun instantly leaped up from the bed. Towering over him, one slender, jade-like leg swept directly toward Lin Feng's face.

"Mengyan, are you ready?" Qin Hao's knock came from outside the door. The door swung open, and Qin Hao walked in dressed in a sharp suit, his hair slicked and gleaming with pomade.

A blossom of blood bloomed on the forehead of a young reconnaissance soldier who had stepped forward to confiscate the drugs. The young soldier slowly fell to the ground, a lingering smile still frozen on his face.

By this time, Lin Feng and Zhou Fanjun's fighter had fallen into a state of complete frenzy, their punches landing with utter lack of direction. Lin Feng's eyes and face had taken several heavy blows; one of his eyes had swollen into that of a panda, and his cheeks were puffed up high.

Without further hesitation, he reached out with both hands, scooped up Luo Shanshan and Li Xingyu, and tucked them under his arms.

Out in the world, if a family possessed a Transcendence-realm powerhouse, it could undoubtedly be considered a top-tier clan.

She thought that perhaps she should let Gui Li and Bai Xue consummate their relationship sooner; that way, perhaps she could eliminate Gui Li all the sooner.

Yang Jiujiu simply did不 want to put Lu Yi'an in a difficult position, while Jiang Xin'er had already set her heart on Lu Yi'an, harboring the determination to marry no one else. After countless rejected attempts, they had finally managed to arrange a meal together today, and she certainly did not want to leave a bad impression on him.

Banxia was standing by the sink in the restroom, washing her hands unceasingly while staring intently at the mirror on the wall.

Yangyang volunteered to push open the door, and then saw Gu Xintong sitting on the bed wearing a white going-away dress, breathtakingly beautiful beyond compare.

It was as if someone had woven a net long ago, waiting for them to walk right into it. Xiao Yufeng could not help but overthink the situation.

At this moment, the thirty students present had already left one after another, except for the seven individuals beside Xiran.

The tracks for Bai Tingxian's part of the album had already been recorded. Bai Tingxian had come here today simply to accompany Qingmo; after all, staying home alone was rather suffocating, and he felt it would be much more comfortable to be out with Qingmo.

Yet she could not comprehend why Du Zhong, despite his roguish exterior, had possessed a strong sense of masculinity back in school, only to turn into this wretched state now, completely devoid of responsibility. How were they supposed to live through the days ahead?

Was this purely unjustified? For such an important project, even without abundant financial backing, a facade at the very least had to be maintained. Operational funds still needed to be allocated. Right now, the entire Central-Western Economic Forum was built upon the framework set up by Qilian Province. If things continued this way, it would certainly spell no good for the forum.

Since Gu Ming had taken the initiative to ask, Qin Sheng had nothing to hide and briefly introduced the family demographics to her, mentioning not only Qin Tian's position but also Qin Zheng's.

Time slipped away unawares to nine o'clock in the morning. Micai, who had stayed behind in Xietang without leaving, brought several bags of breakfast to the event venue. After setting aside two portions, she handed the rest to Ah Feng, instructing him to distribute them to the staff still busy at work.

"Hahaha, Xue, you're always like this—even when praising someone, you refuse to do it directly," Ah Le said with a hearty chuckle.

Guan Haoyu had received a severe reprimand and was consequently somewhat distracted. He mechanically read the speech prepared by Chu Tianbao, misreading lines several times. Fortunately, the arrangements completed two months in advance had already won Tang Yifu's approval, causing his furrowed brow to relax ever so slightly.

All at once, the light in Bu Qu's eyes grew brighter and brighter, dazzlingly brilliant. A fierce glare erupted, striking the void and crackling audibly. Grasping his treasured sword tightly, Bu Qu hovered within the beam of light, defiantly facing everyone present as an immensely powerful aura surged from his entire body.

In the blink of an eye, three fellows lunged at Tang Weibing with exceptionally professional moves. Old Tang was merely a retired regular armed police officer without Deng Hua's monstrous lethality, possessing only ordinary agility. How could the people surrounding Young Master Tian be trash? The moment they clashed, Tang Weibing was already forced into continuous retreat.

"This is both beyond expectation and well within it. In fact, the advancement of an avatar is also the advancement of the true self, though the path of elevation differs. Yet all paths lead to the same destination." A brilliant light flashed in Haoran's eyes, and a wave of sudden enlightenment welled up in his heart.

With the sound of a key turning, Zhang Peng looked away from his computer screen to see Guo Xixili tossing her handbag aside and starting to change her shoes by the doorway.

In truth, Wang Can could have paired Jia Xu with Guo Jia, and Li Xun with Xun You. However, considering the vital importance of this campaign, Wang Can chose not to split up Guo Jia and Xun You, instead pairing Jia Xu with Li Xun. After all, they understood each other much better, and such mutual familiarity made Wang Can feel more secure in making this arrangement.

Wu Youdao, standing nearby, also nodded repeatedly, expressing his willingness to accompany Wang Ping'an to the Taiqing Sect.
