Send them away to bear the old woman's wrath.

The educated youth from next door said with envy, "Oh my god, eating several meat dishes in a single meal! No wonder educated youth Li from our team wants to marry Captain Gu."

From the corner of her eye, Wen Lin saw Xia Tiantian prick up her ears to listen, and it even looked like she was swallowing her saliva.

Raising her voice slightly, Wen Lin said, "Well, we heard what Captain Gu said. He mentioned that educated youth Li kept pursuing him, but his mother thought educated youth Li was too dark-skinned and didn't care for her. So it turns out to be true?"

"Yeah, Captain Gu has always ignored—"

Gu Tingchen did not know how severely Min Ru was injured, nor did he have any way to take her to the hospital, so he simply treated her wounds at home and wrapped them in gauze.

Just as Yun Tianyang had said—every single ferocious beast capable of surviving in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains was a ruthless entity.

The fist-sword, wreathed in the power of dark shadows, slashed toward Caesar, yet passed straight through his body without the slightest obstruction, as if it were merely cutting through a wisp of air.

Hearing this, Guo Dapang seemed to faintly understand something. Using paper-based bonds in place of currency to be paid as taxes to the government did indeed establish a withdrawal mechanism. But undeniably, such a method was extremely crude and utterly incapable of circulating in the market, meaning it could not become money in the true sense of the word.

"Heh, it's hard to say, and I wouldn't dare to say for sure. Even the lowest quality is worth tens of thousands, but if it's high quality, there's no telling! I'll give Old Fang a call tomorrow and have him come take a look!" Shopkeeper Sun said.

For some reason, the mere thought of Luo Tianqing's pure smile made Su Ying feel intensely uncomfortable.

When Gu Feng reached the desk and removed the previous map of the area within a two-kilometer radius of the castle, he immediately spread a newly repositioned satellite map across the table.

Why was it White Ghost Academy again? Lu Tianying was startled. After the Black Sky Dragon incident, they had vanished without a trace, and he had assumed they wouldn't show up until the national tournament.

A massive roar of laughter echoed through the Zhu residence, and the various aristocratic clans of Jiangnan displayed arrogant expressions. What a governor, what a traitor Jia, to actually come up with such a muddle-headed strategy. It seemed his wits had reached an end, and his defeat and death were now a foregone conclusion.

Before the golden-armored guard could finish speaking, his words were abruptly cut off. One could only see his body sway slightly, and then, his head involuntarily slumped to the side.

"Such a huge spider!" Looking at the creature appearing behind him, Dugu Ming could not help crying out in shock.

Two hairpins, one black and one blue, with simple designs. What caught the eye most was the ornament atop each hairpin, which looked like—gemstones?

"Where did that old ghost go, spending all day tinkering with useless martial arts and not knowing what he's good for? Didn't he go out to greet the guests?" Zhong Siniang said somewhat angrily.

"Sage of Poison, stop attacking him, he has no strength left." Arriving before Dugu Ming and sensing his dying breath, Yao Fan pleaded bitterly toward the figure in the sky.

Either way, it was a dead end, so she didn't care about adding another charge of treason; she had wanted to slap him for a long time anyway.

"You... I..." Tong Ran had originally wanted to say that after tomorrow's wedding ended, she would officially be married into the family, so why should she still sleep on the sofa? But her thoughts were thrown into disarray by the sudden turn of events just now. It was as if she had lost the ability to speak, and she stood there stammering "you" and "me" for a long time without finishing her sentence.

"Not moving anymore?" The leader's dark face was filled with anger, the sharp hilt of his blade pressing against the tender skin of her neck. As long as she dared to move the slightest bit, that blade could directly finish her off.

And her eager explanation was because she had misunderstood, thinking he jumped just to please him! However, since she wanted to marry him, why not choose to please him?

"Thank you." The head of the Tang family looked at the noodle-like substance in the bowl before her, offered a silent expression of gratitude, picked up her chopsticks, and took a bite under her expectant gaze.

Better save the effort; that unruly fellow didn't even give immortals the time of day last time. Going to her was truly a waste of emotion.
