Chapter 113: Gazing at the Stars and the Moon

After a while, Lisa went to Lin Lu’s bedroom and knocked. “Lin, are you back?”

Lin Lu drew in a deep breath. By the time he opened the door, he was still mortified. What on earth was this?

“Sorry, Lin. I thought you wouldn’t be coming back today, so I brought my boyfriend over. I didn’t scare you, did I?” Lisa said breezily, even calling David over to apologize to her.

In short, a simple mask became a hot topic in the first week of the new NBA season.

To please Gan Guoyang, Avia signed Gan Guoyang’s teammate Drexler and Gan Guoyang’s good friend John Stockton that summer.

Ye Guchen murmured to himself. Right now, he felt an urge to suppress everyone in the pavilion on the spot. With Thundercloud Wings and the Sea-Overturning Seal, he was absolutely confident he could catch them off guard.

Xiao Chong was no friend of Xie Qingzhou’s, and he also disliked Jiangnan, so he was quite pleased to see what was about to happen between the two of them.

Chi Li looked at the person crying on her shoulder and felt a little awkward. In her former world, she had been an orphan, and only the headmistress of the children’s home had ever been kind to her. She still was not used to being embraced by a stranger.

Jiang Su silently covered her storage pouch and looked at the person with some restraint. Her fingers tightened around the bamboo staff, ready to draw her blade.

The Qian family was considered fairly powerful in their area. Many of their relatives had gone into factories or government service, and Fat Brother had a chance to inherit the family position.

After Su Li had eaten her fill, she fell asleep again. Drowsily nestling in her father’s arms, Mo Wangchu did not want to listen to Aunt Qiu’s nagging at all, but what Aunt Qiu said was indeed very practical.

This great battle, however, had nothing to do with Ye Guchen for the time being. He remained sunk in the deepest level of spiritual comprehension, severing his connection with all living things, and had no idea how severe the bloodshed outside had become.

The maids’ and old women’s monthly wages were paid out by the accounting office and did not fall under the third branch’s management. But if anyone asked for a raise without reason, then the person making the request would have to make up the difference; each courtyard had a fixed number of maids and old women.

“Ning Yue, there are things I was careless about. But what I regret even more now is that I never properly taught you the principles of being human, and let you become what you are now—so unruly, so cruel.”

Most importantly, there were backup control facilities, and after a night of emergency repairs, they had finally been made more or less operational.

Many in the family knew these things, more or less, but no one was willing to wade too deeply into the murky waters. Some pitied that mother and son; others looked down on them.

Wang Lin did not dare to look at Jiang’s mother. Her heart felt unbearably heavy, and Liu Jun’s words were still echoing in her head.

Although she had not been familiar with Lu Lijin before, after spending nearly an afternoon together, Yang Chuxiu had already sensed that Lu Lijin was not a bad person.

When he saw Zhao Yuan and the others being surrounded and beaten, he was still very nervous. Fortunately, Zhao Yuan ultimately displayed tremendous might and won the fight.

Zhou Mengyuan and the old monster Qiao Shan stood beside the bonfire, gazing into the distance at the sky above the Qi family village, which was flushed red by the countless fireworks and firecrackers.

Unexpectedly, Yu Qiu had such remarkable comprehension that he grasped what was said at once, and often even came up with many ingenious ideas.

“No way. Anyone I’ve dealt with before, I’d definitely remember.” She still found it strange.

It was like a traveler dying of thirst in the desert who finally found a life-saving oasis and drank greedily of the source of life.

The skinny man was shoved back two staggering steps by Shao Peng, and the ferocity on his face faded away almost imperceptibly.

“I have already spared your life. That is the greatest mercy I can show you. Why must you force me to make a move?” Liu Bi said, truly helpless. Some people never understand fear until they have lost their lives.

Ye Wudao stared at Liu Bi in shock and uncertainty. Clearly, Liu Bi’s reaction was entirely beyond his expectations.

I stared at those few words again and again. At last, when my body finally stopped shaking, I hurriedly dialed Chen Tu’s number.
