Chapter 159: Recruiting Troops and Buying Horses

"Understood, Sister. I will arrange a time for the meeting as soon as possible," Lin Yu replied with a nod.

He knew that the nature of this upcoming meeting had completely changed compared to his previous solo encounter with Elder Xu.

The last time he met Elder Xu, his engagement to Xu Qingcheng had not yet been announced. The situation was different now; he was already Xu Qingcheng's fiancé and the future grandson-in-law of the Xu family...

That person yanked her up from the floor. His lips were moving, perhaps calling her name over and over again?

Upon inspection, one arrow was in the fifth ring, another in the sixth, while a third lacked sufficient force and had struck the eighth ring before falling off, rendering that score invalid. Consequently, Shen Qiao'an, who had hit the seventh ring, naturally emerged as the victor.

This bed was pressed directly against the wall. Su Xiyue tried her best to lie as close to the inside as possible, but when Gu Jingchen lay down beside her, she still felt the space was inadequate. What could she do? How could they possibly sleep in the same bed like this?

"I hear Second Lieutenant Lin has distinguished himself at the front lines again," the veteran nurse assisting Wu You said with a smile, handing instruments to Wu You as Shen Qiao'an brought over a fresh batch of gauze.

Seeing Bao Xiyuan remain so resolute, Li Shenxing's long-suppressed anger instantly erupted.

During working hours, Lin Muxi never dared to be the least bit careless in front of Jose, because he was exceptionally earnest.

The three of them were going to sleep in the same room. After the servant changed the duvet covers, Shen Qiao'an brought Hao Hao into the room, gave the child a bath first, and then went into the bathroom to wash up herself.

Upon leaving the Third Prince's Mansion, Leng Moyu's daily routine returned to what it used to be, and she no longer slept in. Rising early in the morning, she practiced and meditated within her spatial ring to calm her mind. Afterward, she emerged from the space ring to step outside, breathing in the fresh air and performing breathing exercises.

With a gaze full of determination, Li Lin flew alone into the high altitude. The higher he ascended, the more oppressive the might of the Heavenly Dao became. Yet Li Lin hovered quietly above Long Yuling, standing with his hands behind his back as he looked out over the sea of thunder, completely unfazed.

"Eldest Brother, isn't this overly inflating the enemy's prestige while destroying our own?" In Mengge's worldview, his eldest brother was invincible across the world, and there was no one in this realm whom his eldest brother could not defeat.

Su Qian remained silent throughout, gazing out the window as if lost in thought. Would she too meet such a fate one day, only perhaps with someone other than Lin Bin pulling the strings?

That was why, just moments ago, she felt a surge of anger simply because he had acted without a word to her. If things were already like this now, how would they be in the future?

No one knew how much time had passed before the endless sea of red spider lily petals in the void gradually began to fade. Only bare stems remained on the banks of the Yellow Springs; with the petals gone, the spider lilies sprouted vibrant green foliage. Flowers blooming as leaves fall, and leaves falling as flowers bloom—this was the very reason they became known as the flowers of the other shore.

Ao Li's safety could not afford any mistakes, and guarding the post also required the protection of soldiers. Aside from the hundreds of defeated Southern Sea soldiers already present, Fang Ao instructed Lang Jiu to stay behind with several hundred troops. Lang Jiu was not a member of the sea clan, and his life was inextricably linked to Fang Ao's; Fang Ao believed he would never betray him, making him the ideal candidate.

Legend has it that anyone bathed in the true light of Kunlun can achieve immortality in the flesh and ascend directly to the heavenly realm. However, because the heavenly light is too high and distant, the people of Kunlun sought to accumulate sword energy and divine radiance, condensing them into a towering sword pillar in an attempt to bridge that unreachable distance to the heavenly light and attain fleshly ascension to immortality.

His mouth was positioned directly opposite the communicator on his wrist, the corners of his lips parting and closing slightly as if he were speaking.

Lin Tian and Chen Xinyi exchanged a smile, making no move to stop the reporters. When they originally planned to hold this press conference, they had already anticipated such a scenario.

Li Ruhai was rather surprised upon hearing this. "National Kawano Junior High School?" He had always assumed that the high school students at the Tokyo Institute of Technology Affiliated High School had all advanced directly from the affiliated junior high department.
