Volume 1, Chapter 31: Blinded by Youth
Hearing the sound, Lu Zhaochuan looked to his side to see Shen Du standing there with a cold, grim expression; his sinister gaze made Lu Zhaochuan’s heart shudder violently.
Lin Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief, grateful for Shen Du’s timely arrival, though her complexion remained troubled.
Shao Bing lifted his face, his eyes holding a maturity that belied his age, and more eerily, he was sitting atop a paper tiger.
"My lord, have you ever considered the true purpose of Young Master Duan's visit to the Ning estate that day?" An Ruiqi turned to look at the crimson-eyed Duan Nantian and asked calmly.
In an inn, several students dressed in the attire of the Heaven-Reaching Academy were drinking leisurely, their expressions as steady as Mount Tai.
Yin Yixuan knew her well; he understood that she was someone who struggled to express her feelings, preferring to bury all her bitterness within herself rather than share it with others.
Zhan Long had long since anticipated that she would refuse to implicate him. He sighed softly and whispered, "But I do not agree." With that, he exerted a little strength in his arms, lifted Ning Yue steadily, and walked straight toward the prison door.
She wasn't even married yet, but she already felt like a mother. Ye Zitong wondered if this was a good thing or a bad thing. Looking up, she saw Leng Junhao descending the stairs. Only when he was close did she notice a bruise on his chin.
Now, the Liang family had dared to make a move against Su Mu right under her nose—how could she not be furious?
"Thank you for what?" Nangong Zhuoran said with a smile. The sunlight cast over his tall, slender frame, gilding him in a layer of platinum that made him too dazzling to look at directly. Behind his black-rimmed glasses, those long, narrow phoenix eyes shone with an extraordinary brilliance, as if expecting something.
Chu Shiyu found it ridiculous. Shouldn't she have been the one to remain calm and mature, the one to say, "Stop making a scene"?
Shanya dug around for a long time before finally producing a few crumpled bills, happily handing them to the shopkeeper. Seeing the various denominations that added up to exactly five hundred, the shopkeeper shook his head and pressed the money back into Shanya’s hand.
There was a ball game in the morning, and with some time to spare before it started, he went downstairs to the market to buy groceries, planning to cook for An Yu when she returned home in the evening.
"Shut up, shut up, shut up! You’re always telling me to shut up—why don’t you just make me stop talking altogether? Hmph." In front of Tian Yi, she remained boisterous and carefree; even though his status had changed from before, her heart still belonged to him, and her love for him remained as constant as ever.
This led to the rumors becoming increasingly absurd, painting him as an heinous, murderous blood-sucking demon who could never return once he had passed through, capable of draining a person into a husk in an instant—a indiscriminate slaughtering monster.
Seeing the heavenly thunder appear and descend upon them, these people were startled, their faces pale as they let out low roars. Layers of defensive barriers instantly manifested around their bodies, completely enveloping them.
"Nursing. I studied clinical nursing, and I'm fairly decent at surgical diagnosis. After graduation, I'll be a nurse, though I don't know if I'll be able to get into a good hospital." Thinking of the rumors circulating at school regarding certain serious unspoken rules in hospitals, a shadow crept over Minmin’s heart.
She resented him for treating her that way. Could it be... that to him, she was merely a tool for release?
It was impossible to enter through the first floor of Jiafu; that path had already been scouted by Fei You and the others. Moreover, since Chen Bin and his group had been spotted by Qiao Xingyu’s men when they entered from the rooftop parking lot, Qiao Xingyu decided to stick to the plan of entering via the roof.
The strength of the two was immense, and as they collided repeatedly, waves of incredibly powerful energy erupted from the clash, surging outward into the surroundings.
