Chapter 33

The rehearsal ended hastily. After changing in the dressing room, the students returned to their dorms or headed out to have fun. Guo Fanyu felt worried about Lin Ling, but he knew that if she didn't want to talk, asking would be futile. Thus, he continued to his part-time job off-campus, deliberately avoiding Jin Tongyin.

Yang Qianye circled the edge of the mud pit to the dining table on the other side. The staff had finished distributing the numbered tags, assigned based on the order in which the children had climbed ashore.

The wooden sword hummed once more. With a sudden expansion of its blade, the two silver markings on it erupted with a piercing, chilly light, before the sword fell limply to the ground with a soft thud.

Just as Zheng Ke and his two companions were arguing with Nobi, Mami had already taken the time to clean both squids, arranging the parts neatly on the cutting board.

Here, the animals from the mountains would not descend to destroy the crops planted by the villagers, nor would the villagers go up into the mountains to hunt.

"Reluctant?" Seeing Lin Ling standing there in a daze, Ye Chen—fully aware that she was merely overwhelmed with joy—deliberately pretended he was going to pull his hand back.

This scene was immediately witnessed by the surrounding disciples. Their eyes widened; they were stunned at first, and upon realizing who the man was, they blinked in succession, their expressions turning even more peculiar.

"Don't worry, the match isn't over yet. Teacher Zheng still has a chance to win," Xu He Zhino comforted Iwai Yuji, though he was no better off himself; his hands, tucked into his pockets, were trembling uncontrollably.

Although the positions of the internal and external affairs envoys were important, their lack of martial prowess meant they held low status within the sect. Their opinions were ignored—or rather, they were treated as mere servants—and they had no way to argue their case.

Sensing the attack, the black bear’s entire body tensed. Realizing the extent of its injuries, the bear let out a roar. Before it could even turn around, its massive paw struck. Jin Ye knew without a doubt that if he were hit by that paw, he would be dead or crippled.

Yu Zinuo only then realized she was still clutching his waist tightly. Her face flushed, and she hurriedly let go, lowering her head in embarrassment.

Liu Qingyue had still been immersed in grief, but upon hearing Xiao Fan’s words, she couldn't help but pause. She instinctively looked down at the desert, which only reached her chest, a glimmer of suspicion flickering in her eyes.

His domineering nature and his tenderness truly made her want to laugh. Why hadn't she noticed this side of him before? Why had he only been gentle back then? Qin Muchen, being overbearing is your true nature, and it is something she does not love.

Xiao Fan, who had seemed to be at the end of his tether, scored two points with thunderous momentum, leaving the young man wanting to choose Xiao Fan but not daring to do so.

The film didn't win a single technical award, but it took home several heavyweight accolades, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Actor.

"Your Majesty, it is immoral to tease others like this!" She argued her case firmly; even the Emperor was no exception.

After cleaning up the dishes, Xia Mo returned to Qin Aofeng's room, staring at the pile of unsorted medicine on the table with a troubled heart.

In a fleeting moment, her father thought of many things. He felt as though he were nearing the end of his life, and he wondered: rather than fading away into obscurity, why not do something meaningful in the final moments of his life?

Being in a strange world where one knows no one and nothing is familiar is enough to drive a person mad.

On the other hand, there was Han Qiu, whose requests she couldn't refuse. As the director, she had the right to demand this of her.

"Yes, Host. Your task has been completed, and the reward credits have been issued to your account. You may check them at any time," the system's voice prompted.

Li Mu brought a pile of gifts to please Chu Yunxi, but little did he know, while he had achieved her favor, it had backfired even worse. As Li Mu spoke to her, Chu Yunxi was busy examining the trinket in her hands and hadn't been paying attention at all.

Huo Yongshi slowly moved her palms away from her eyes, her gaze widening as she stared at the scene before her in disbelief.

After the plague virus they relied on for their fame failed, no one could match Yong Qiang in close-quarters combat.

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qishi waved his hand, and surging white waves rose out of thin air, crashing toward the high platform like a tsunami.

He was right; a normal person's train of thought would be to prioritize increasing the defensive capabilities of their cave dwelling, rather than prioritizing concealment, unless one had something shameful to hide on a daily basis.

It proudly believed that Yong Qiang could not possibly persist for another two minutes in such high-intensity combat.

The overall outline remained as it was before, but the temples in the cities on both sides had changed. The cities had become taller and more majestic; the eastern gate bore the two characters "Luoyang," and the western gate bore the two characters "Chang'an."

Tie Muxin took after his mother, with delicate features and nimble hands, yet his nose was as straight as a sword, reminiscent of his father—a sign of a steadfast and unyielding character.

Looking at the additional one thousand credits on the light screen, Xiao Ye felt that this trip had not been a waste of time.

"Wait!" Just as Mu Yi was about to focus his energy, a familiar voice rang in his ears. Mu Yi opened his eyes to see Jin Ya's brother, Jin Yun.

Shuang'er was shocked. Her dark, deep eyes revealed a look of pity and guilt as she stared fixedly at the exit of the rockery, her hands twisting together involuntarily, her nails digging deeply into her palms.

"I agree. Although Optimus Prime's methods weren't quite right, we all saw how hard he worked. Ouyang, Qisha, don't you dare scare poor Optimus Prime again," Sister Ziling said, picking up where Sister Yanran had left off.
