Chapter 69: She Is a Rare Technical Talent

“No, the Commissar practically lives in her office,” Gu Huaizheng replied, utterly unconcerned.

“Really? Why is that?”

Lu Jianwei never joined in when gossiping with her sisters-in-law, but with her own husband, she felt free to indulge her curiosity, her clear almond-shaped eyes shining with interest.

Gu Huaizheng found her amusing, and with a look of deep affection, he stroked her soft cheek. “Previously, when she was the head of procurement at the military-dependent factory, she was formally criticized by the higher-ups once—though, considering the Commissar, they didn’t take any further action…”

Su Peng drove to Tianfeng Group to find Chen Feng, barging into the office despite Zhao Liang’s attempts to stop him, and found Chen Feng inside.

However, he did not go to see Li Maochun and Madam Wang right away. His powers were nearly exhausted, and he needed to recover.

Just as he was about to look for Zhao Hao, someone suddenly yanked him aside and dragged him straight into a restaurant without giving him a chance to protest.

Most of those flocking to Black Seal City had been drawn by the auction. Among them were many reclusive masters, which spoke volumes about the scale and prestige of this event.

The first to notice something wrong at the pool was Xia Li, who was halfheartedly chatting with Lu Ye. Since she was concerned about Yun Shu, her gaze kept drifting toward the pool. Not seeing Yun Shu made her anxious, and unless one looked very closely, the rapid drop in the pool’s water was almost imperceptible.

“Then let me explain the special powers of this world to you,” Meliodas said, and began to instruct Jerar on the three types of Haki, Devil Fruits, as well as martial arts and swordsmanship.

The deeper they descended, the thinner the blue mist became. It seemed like a good sign, but in reality, it only meant greater danger. The paths where visibility was better gradually opened up, guiding them toward the temple ahead.

All of this depended on his status as the Hall Master. Though he had no time to train, he enjoyed the daily benefits of rare treasures and herbs, and every so often, the Dan Hall would deliver elixirs that advanced his cultivation.

Dao Xuan watched Qin Zhou and Lu Xueqi at the center of the great hall, his ancient brows tightly furrowed, a deep sense of helplessness in his heart.

“If it were anyone else, I’d say he was narcissistic. But you? I have nothing to say.” Though he was clearly joking, it never sounded out of place coming from him—he truly was exceptional enough to command such respect.

Moments later, Yahiko led three hundred Rain Shinobi onto the battlefield, tipping the scales decisively. Under the combined assault of Konoha and the Rain Village forces, the Iwa Shinobi were almost completely annihilated. In the end, only Kurotsuchi and Ohnoki managed to escape with a handful of elite troops.

Yang Fan could wait no longer. With only a week left, he knew that if he delayed, something would inevitably go wrong on Xize Island.

At the same time, Besta began teaching Bai Mei and the others the combined battle formation. Yet, compared to Lantis and his people, Bai Mei and his group simply couldn’t grasp it. After several days, their progress was minimal.

From the appearance of the Forest’s Child to their defeat, only a few minutes had passed, but it had a decisive impact on the battle. Piercing wails echoed through the woods as the surviving greenwood elves, having lost all will to fight, scattered in all directions.

Yang Fan merely smiled. He knew he wouldn’t have to wait years—by tomorrow, he would be an inner disciple. One day was enough; he couldn’t afford to wait any longer.

Two torturous days felt like two centuries. Tossing and turning, sleepless for two nights, Shi Tou finally made the hardest decision of his life—he agreed to Sha Baichuan’s proposal.

The temple’s people stood guard for three hours without incident before handing over the watch to the Blade Sect. The rest continued to rest.

She firmly believed that there was genuine affection between herself and Chen Ling. Whether it grew from talking or from shared experiences, it was heartfelt and undeniably present.

His massive off-road vehicle allowed him a clear view of the outside from within, but from the outside, no one could see inside. So, Men Shaoting dismissed Sang Zhi’s worries as unfounded.
