Their conversation sparked another round of discussion; it seemed that everyone had questions regarding the tournament schedule. Sixteen participants in the final competition was unprecedented in the history of the Odoro Tournament, leaving everyone feeling somewhat curious.

These images felt as if they were events he had experienced personally, yet they filled him with a sense of foreboding.

He could not detect any murderous intent or oddity in Robin Hood before him, but Jacob’s demeanor suddenly put him on high alert.

However, the person atop the giant white bird had already noticed the subtle movements coming from the forest below.

Eyun raised his palm, condensing a phantom flying sword in front of him, and then spread his five fingers; the sword seemed to have been energized by a powerful tonic.

The shadow vanished, leaving not a single trace of presence or murderous aura. Su Yi hid in the shadows, waiting for the shadow’s arrival. He knew he could not escape it; he could only wait passively.

Although he did not know the specific dangers of opium, he clearly knew it was certainly nothing good.

Xie Huai took it all in from the window, let out a soft, mocking laugh, and walked away.

As for the affairs of the Mu Prince’s Mansion, Mother Mu had heard Mu Chun mention them a few times. Although he hadn't said much, it was enough to piece some things together.

Looking around, however, he realized that among the younger generation of the Zheng family, he was the only one capable of shouldering the responsibility.

Zhang Yu turned and headed straight home, thinking that since Zhang Guohua had a lot to discuss, he should leave more time.

Lu Xuanqing suddenly burst into laughter. Seeing Yue Lingjun’s face grow increasingly dark, he laughed until tears streamed down his face, then exclaimed with an exaggerated expression of sudden realization.

Some of them had been paid to join the crowd, but seeing Yue Lingjun’s reaction, no one dared to make a sound.

Upon reaching the floor and exiting the elevator, Wang Yuan led Li Shi directly to Chen Qiuye’s office. Passing by the large conference room, Li Shi looked through the transparent grid-patterned glass and saw many people meeting inside; he immediately spotted Chen Qiuye, whom he hadn't seen in a while.

Fortunately, Ye Jun could still use his spiritual sense. After some effort, he managed to retrieve the Soul-Absorbing Bell from his storage bag. Controlling it with his mind provided a modicum of self-protection; otherwise, had he encountered danger during these past few years, Ye Jun might not even have been able to escape.

After saying this, Liang Xunling took a few steps aside with her phone and answered the call.

As soon as he entered the game, Li Muchen began his erratic maneuvers. After clearing the jungle and gaining buffs, he went to the middle lane. While it appeared he was helping to gank, he actually handed the kill over to the opposing mid-laner, along with both his red and blue buffs.

Aiya muttered to herself, craning her neck to look around, and quickly grabbed Li Shiyi’s arm with her free hand.

Although the fate of this world had altered Zhao Yingkong’s genetic lock, martial arts cultivation, and other exchanges, it had even clouded the skills that allowed her to return to the basics.

Even though You Pianran had kept her voice very, very low, it was still caught by Liang Haotian’s sharp ears.

Surely, many could not forget the scene where that man led the warriors of the Luochen Domain to slay the Demon Spirits.

Although she didn't see Qiao Shengnian upon waking, the doctors and nurses were there; they examined her and took the opportunity to complain about him.

The number of Demon Spirits continued to grow and grow before their eyes, yet the resolve in everyone’s gaze only grew firmer.

"Doctor, from yesterday until now, more than fifty households have left Qianyi City, and more citizens requested to leave early this morning. Sima Boyu has already rushed to the South Gate to intercept them," the Minister of Agriculture, Ying Zhao, reported to Ying Kang, breathless.

Although the State of Chu was prosperous, it was plagued by too many bandits. Unless it was a highly influential merchant guild transporting goods, they would inevitably be intercepted by outlaws. Thus, Ying Xuan began to contemplate an arrangement with the Tenglong Merchant Guild.

Ye Jiayi sized the man up; he wasn't very tall, was quite thin, and wore gold-rimmed glasses perched on the bridge of his nose.

With a sharp "clack" of a blade, the head of a Qin soldier was severed by the Zuo Gu Du Hou as he charged onto the city wall; it spun in mid-air before tumbling down.

Huo Jingshen’s eye twitched; it was only due to his deep composure that he didn't let his smile crumble. "He said... his wife flew over?" The level of nonsense this Beitang fellow could spout had reached a new height.

"It’s not a matter of being funny, but rather not worth answering. Not just our State of San, but every state in Guanzhong, even the royal families, rely on the nobility. You tell me, who is more important, the nobility or the commoners? Naturally, the nobility," Ji Zhao replied with visible reluctance.

Li Jiayu’s work focus shifted to brand partnerships and financing. Just as everything was in full swing, the long Spring Festival holiday arrived.

Duan Weiqi was pondering what kind of comment to leave when he refreshed the page and saw another trending comment and repost pushed to the top.

"This isn't our home; this is Uncle Ou’s house. We are just staying here temporarily!" Yu You kindly reminded.

As soon as he sat down, the Director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, Meng Hao, entered to say that Deputy Mayor Guo Jinshui was coming to request instructions on work.

Initially, the cellar was pitch black, almost impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face. However, Wu Yue was bold and skilled, and with his spiritual pressure sensing, he moved nimbly down the stairs, and in an instant, a glimmer of light appeared before him.
