24 Acknowledging a Sister

Wu Zijian barely had time to let out a cry of alarm before the monster launched a lightning-fast assault, catching him completely off guard.

Following this unsettling turn of events, the group had no desire to linger, and Yao Ping'an suggested they all return to Qingfeng Town, a proposal to which everyone readily agreed.

With his body stripped of clothing, the terrifying dragon-shaped mark on Lin Xiu's skin was now clearly visible.

The three mercenaries, as if following a command, closed in simultaneously, attempting to engage him in close-quarters combat.

Sun Cheng's hand had transformed entirely into the claw of a divine dragon. As he channeled his true essence, the force of his strikes manifested as a golden phantom claw, spanning several meters in length.

Star Shine Media is an entertainment company owned by Wang Wei in Ning City, and it is the agency to which Lin Yingzhu is signed.

Leonard watched his teammate struggling to make a breakthrough; it was truly difficult, and Qin Yan could only focus on protecting the ball, lacking the ability to attack for the moment.

He did things without leaving a single flaw, ensuring every detail was seamless and complete. However, his success was not merely due to this; these were just the surface-level reasons. The things he did in the shadows could not be brought into the light, and it was precisely those underhanded actions that enabled his public success.

Before he knew it, the image of Lin Fang—no, according to Bai Zhi, it should be Wang Fang—that haunting, dream-like figure kept surfacing in his mind, refusing to fade away.

Chen Manfei had been exhausted from caring for the patient over the past few days. Wang Haoming took her home and, refraining from any impropriety, simply urged her to get some well-deserved rest.

Among her many talents, her singing and dancing went without saying, but her mastery of the "eighteen musical instruments" was truly unparalleled.

After she visited Han-Tang Records a few times, a singer from the accompanying band became infatuated with the pure-hearted Zou Huimin and began pursuing her aggressively. When Sister Hong was in the office, he would behave himself, but as soon as Li Chen and Sister Hong stepped out, he would shower her with flowers and invitations, much to Zou Huimin’s distress.

This indicated that Zhao’s Hot Pot Restaurant had not only avoided any setbacks but was also being expertly managed by Ye Ruo, Yan Hong, and their team. Otherwise, there was no way the restaurant could have been renovated to such a standard.

"This servant will take her leave," Su Yi said, bowing her head and retreating a few steps, never once daring to look the man in the face.

She then took a leap, diving into the water to chase the swimming fish. It was a joyful moment that helped her tense nerves finally relax.

If not for the practice Wang Haoming had gained driving from Hefei to Chengdu on the highway, he might have been so startled by Lin Jiayao's sudden scream that he would have driven the car right into a ditch.

"It’s nothing major, don't blame Yueyue like that." Just then, a man’s voice interrupted them.

"D-dead... someone is dead..." Mother Xu gripped her hand tightly, as if afraid she would rush inside, or perhaps seeking some form of support from her.

Jin Chi'er waited until his ancestor had walked far away before letting out a long sigh of relief, his expression turning cold and sinister.

"The nightlife here is truly vibrant!" After leaving the Gu residence, Xiao Mo looked at the bustling, brilliantly lit district, which seemed as bright as day despite the late hour, and sighed in admiration.

The feeling in his heart was indescribable; the outlet for expressing his emotions felt blocked, as if he could no longer trust Aselda as he once had.

"Bang!" A chair was knocked over. Before Xu Xue could react, her throat was gripped tightly. Her eyes widened as she stared in disbelief at Qi Xiuyuan, who looked every bit like a malevolent spirit.

Having just finished eavesdropping on a conversation that left him completely bewildered, Xiao Mo saw Xiong Pi emerging from an academy building ahead. Feeling overwhelmed by the secrets he had heard, he let out a loud shout.

Zhan Yinfan pulled her into his embrace, his strong, steady arms and warm chest making her feel incredibly secure and at peace for once.

Zhan Yinfan’s remark about things being "not yet clear" actually referred to his uncertainty about how long An Yixue would stay at the company.

Feng Lingche gently stroked Su Xi's hair, patting her back with one hand while a flash of helplessness crossed his eyes. Yes, we are all forced to grow up, to understand things we were too young to comprehend.

When Cao Ruinian and Team Leader Li saw Yu Ling driving the bulldozer onto the construction site, their hearts were in their throats, terrified that she might suddenly fall into a mysterious coma just like the others.

She had been feeling restless due to some recent affairs within the Zhifu Sect and had intended to go outside the mountain gates for a stroll to clear her mind, never expecting to end up here by chance.

"Tell me, how many did you secretly have planted? Before Niu Qiao died, he did visit Youbeiping several times." Fang Mo looked up, smiling cheerfully at Cheng Yu.

"Stop bragging! How many years of history does your country even have!" Lin Feng wiped his mouth, dismissively.

The Council of Elders, born in the same era as the Third Hokage, felt somewhat dissatisfied. By speaking of a "corrupt Konoha," wasn't the Third effectively criticizing them as well? In fact, the statement even cast a shadow over the Third himself.

"Cough, cough, don't be like that, don't be like that. You don't understand, there are always those in this world who are born with innate knowledge. I can't help it, sigh!" Fang Mo sighed, smoothed his hair, and looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle.
