Chapter 50: Fluttering Colorful Flags

At half-past six in the afternoon, Zheng Qian left the company right on time.

Jin Lu had arranged for him to meet Hou Jianye that evening, and he planned to attend the dinner to discuss the gym matter with Hou Jianye.

Zheng Qian did not drive his Rolls-Royce, feeling that the car was too difficult to handle and completely lacked the comfortable drivability of a BMW. After parking the car at Jiangshan International, he got into Jin Lu's car and headed toward the restaurant.

"You don't look very well," Jin Lu glanced sideways at Zheng Qian, noticing his expression.

Jiang Yang was full of drive. First, his employer was excellent; second, having such major matters left entirely to his discretion actually gave him a great deal of freedom and a strong sense of accomplishment.

The trajectory supporting Caesar just now did not come from the center positions Chen Xiruan or Zoe, but rather from Wujiang, who was disguised as a sniper providing assault backup.

Prior to this, she had never doubted where their destination for this journey would be, because she had always believed that the Columbia mentioned by Seiser was undoubtedly Columbia University in New York State.

At this moment, the fog was thick, and any higher up would mean a complete loss of visibility. He had to clearly see the map around the Ferris wheel before the car cabin plunged into the visual blind spot.

Yi Yuanfang called for Zha Hao to come over. The basket could only hold about sixty catties, suitable for children under ten, especially now that everyone was watching.

Ever since falling ill on Saturday, Huaizhen had requested leave from the Baptist church all the way through Friday. However, feeling that she had also missed Saturday's sermon, she felt somewhat guilty toward Father Puraley, who paid her regular salary as usual. Although not entirely recovered, she drank a dose of fever-reducing medicine at six in the morning and headed to the Baptist church on Stockton Street.

Both of them were very attractive. If they were still in school, they would most likely be that traditional high school drama combination of the football team captain and the cheerleader head.

Did the Jiang family think they could bully Prince Zhuang's consort just because she was young and give the Jiang family an opportunity? That would mean the Jiang family had wronged Prince Zhuang's consort.

Wei Xiao also thought about his family matters. Although Wen Xiangyi didn't seem to mention family background in a way that let him off the hook, this was something he had to confess and would have to confess sooner or later.

Xi Che gave her a faint look, as if being the CEO of the Xi Corporation was not a joyous occasion worth celebrating.

Ye Zun instantly felt his worldview being subverted. What had he become now? Damn it, being forcefully abducted here to consummate a marriage—such a bittersweet and absurd thing was actually happening to him, the number one master of the Tiger Ranking.

Tameng pursed his lips, looking at the millions of top-grade spiritual stones, and a sudden sense of dry mouth and throat washed over him.

It seemed there was indeed no way to leave, which forced Li Hao to stay behind. This could also explain why Di, the moment he discovered Chen Zheng, chose not to kill him and the others. He wasn't actually trying to slay immortals; at that very moment, he was trying to save his own life.

However, after the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the person—or rather, the monster—who had ambushed him did not appear again. Coming without a shadow and going without a trace, it could be called peerless.

Mentioning this, Zuo Ye only wanted to say that the Liaoxian Residence was not somewhere ordinary people could enter. The prices there could only be afforded by cultivators, or perhaps even the nobles of the imperial capital. Such information came precisely from these nobles, who were not only close to the center of power, but also far from ordinary.

Originally, Chen Zheng did not know the extent of the Demon Emperor's feelings for him, but the appearance of the God of Wisdom made it clear that the Demon Emperor's feelings went far beyond a simple crush. How could Chen Zheng not see that the Demon Emperor's move against the God of Wisdom was by no means to uphold some dignity of a supreme being, but purely for Chen Zheng's sake? How could this still be considered just a crush?

Attacking with six arms and moving with six feet, Chen Zheng pushed his speed to the limit, and countless punches and kicks had already enveloped Tongyou.

Chen Zheng was rather baffled. He was merely at the second stage of Zhenyuan, and Bin was only at the third stage—what kind of formidable strength could this be considered? And what place was this Liaohai?

What kind of man was Cao Cao? After fighting just a few battles, most of Bingzhou surrendered successively, and the counties that refused to surrender were all core confidants of Gao Gan.

Just as Song Minghao was about to be carried out, no one expected that he would actually roar three words at Tang Yun.

Following Yuezi's instructions, I opened the text message inbox on my phone and searched for the text messages that Frey Xiu had once replied with.

Since their reunion, this was the first time Zhou Anran had seen him smile. With this smile, the youthful vigor about him surged forth once again.

This outfit was truly wonderful. Jiang喆 felt as though he had traveled back twenty years to when he went to pick up Xu Letong from her summer internship and saw her walking out dressed in professional attire and high heels.

From the moment Zheng Si'er shouted those two phrases to the men of the 4th Battalion teasing the 3rd Team, a total of less than five minutes had passed.

Especially later on, after she agreed to his words, that certain someone still pushed his luck by lowering his head to kiss her.

He quietly circled around to the back, and upon hearing them speak, immediately judged that they were all green-haired ghosts, seemingly waiting for someone.

Choosing to run away now was, on one hand, a desire to return and pay respects to his parents, and on the other, Lin Han's growing weariness with military life.

The two sisters-in-law hurriedly held back Old Madam Gu. It was the first time since marrying into the Gu family that they had seen Old Madam Gu in such an emotionally unstable state.

The grand array suddenly began to rotate, and wisps of cloud and mist emerged from within, unexpectedly accompanied by rumbling peals of thunder. Bolts of lightning continually struck Juexin and the other two, whose figures rapidly and continuously dodged, as if it were endless and without any moment of exhaustion.

The giant ape Yuanwu let out a roar, then raised its arms high and smashed them toward the eyes of the Griffin leader. The Griffin leader failed to dodge in time and could only violently shake its head, directly flinging away the giant ape Yuanwu's massive body with fierce force.

Qiuyong Shan lost his footing and let out a loud cry as Chen Feng waved his hand and directly shoved a chicken bone into his mouth. With an oily, heavy palm, he smeared it directly across Qiuyong Shan's face before taking advantage of the momentum to hurl him away. With a loud *bang*, Qiuyong Shan collided with a wooden pillar, spinning and dizzy.

Chen Feng's pressure was instantly lifted, and he immediately swung his sword in counterattack. Under the assault of Chen Feng's immensely powerful swordsmanship, one iron puppet after another was knocked to the ground, every single one battered and broken.

"Let her go," Xilina threw out a talisman, and ice spikes burst forth from a layer of white frost, but unfortunately, they were all shattered in mid-air by Qianhui wielding her greatsword. Talismans seemed to have no effect on her whatsoever; both explosions and freezing were completely ignored by her.

Demons, much like humans, could be righteous or evil. They underwent the three trials of heaven, earth, and humanity to attain sentience and transform into human form. Those who successfully took human shape were called demons (Yao), those who failed were called monsters (Guai), and there was yet another kind without a physical fleshly body, known as spirits (Jingling).

Inside the inn, Xia Mingfeng and the others had returned at some unknown point. After chatting for a little while longer, the four of them returned to their respective rooms to rest, completely unaware that outside, a manhunt for Wang Yueying and Li Qi had already begun.

"This old man will state only one point: within this large restriction-core cave dwelling, without the clearance of our marketplace, even a senior at the Mysterious Spirit Realm would never dream of leaving safely."

Although Zhao Ming's mouth kept chewing the food his mother made, it tasted like sawdust. The word "father" stirred ripples deep in his heart, leaving him unsettled for a long time.

Qin Pohuai had spent days staying up at night in the hospital without sleep. His eyes were bloodshot, and while he remained handsome, he could not hide the exhaustion etched across his face.

In the eyes of Farui, whether it was data, statistics, or so-called family honor on paper, there was always the possibility of inadvertent omission, missing details, or magnified merits.
