0130 Settling Odds and Ends

Fortunately, the Children's Palace, anticipating the event, opened a lecture hall to serve as a resting area for students and teachers who had traveled from afar to participate in the competition.

Xie Yihuang walked into the room, and they found a spot in a corner. Xie Yihuang casually pulled out an anatomy textbook in English and began to read.

"Xie Yihuang, what are you reading?" Wang Ning asked curiously from the side.

Xie Yihuang showed her the cover: "Anatomy in English."

"Really? That's wonderful." This was the news that pleased Lu Xiang'er the most. Lu Hong had not expected Zhaoxia to do this, and he was also very pleased, inviting Huo Qingsong and the others to take their seats in the warm hall.

"It’s not just dereliction of duty; it’s willful misconduct. How exactly have you been supervising? Have you been sitting here staring at the blue sky and white clouds all day? What does the company pay you for? You’re pushing your luck—do you think I’m easy to bully?" Yu Xi shouted in a rage, truly wanting to rush over and slap the man across the face several times.

"How can you be so shameless?" Wu Ruoshi seemed a bit angry, but Chen Langya still did not let go.

Regarding the inheritance, Lu Qing was well aware that the Qian-Yuan Realm revered the Heavenly Dao, and all things were created, governed, and ruled by it.

At first glance, the sentence sounded harmless, but upon careful scrutiny, Ruoli suddenly realized that this person’s audacity was truly invincible.

Dan Xin pressed her lips tightly together, wanting to answer him, but the words faltered on her tongue for a moment. That brief hesitation was enough to miss the perfect opportunity to respond.

"Don't go spouting nonsense in front of Qingya." Lu Hong felt embarrassed after his sister exposed the secret in his heart and did not dare to meet Lu Xiang'er's eyes.

She looked up, and the Buddha sat before her on a golden lotus throne, gazing at her with a face full of compassion.

Long Haoyue’s face was filled with helplessness. He didn't know what to do; he hadn't wanted to say anything, fearing that Long Decheng would collapse completely. Having already lost his grandson, he did not want his son to become a hollow shell as well.

"How is that possible? How did you catch it?" Old Wang threw down his cigarette butt, crushed it under his shoe, and walked over.

Terrified out of his wits, Wu Cai was jolted awake by the soldier's embrace. He struggled desperately, eventually kicking off his shoes to break free from the soldier's grasp. However, his clothes were torn in the process, and he ran back with only one shoe on.

The staff at the scene had begun to open the display stand to retrieve the ginseng slices for Elder Lu to consume, but upon hearing Jin Qiaoyu’s words, they stopped what they were doing and looked at Sun Li, who was surrounded by security guards below the stage.

They could no longer afford to lose. It could even be said that they were now facing significant skepticism from the outside world. Internet trolls were not a specialty unique to China; there was no shortage of such people abroad. After the three exchange matches yesterday, many people online had already begun to denounce them as incompetent.

"Second daughter-in-law, what was that you were just shouting about!" The old matriarch was so angry that the veins on her forehead were throbbing.

Seeing Liu Xu approach, the host first nodded to him with a faint smile. Liu Xu, seeing this, nodded back in acknowledgment. The host was an old acquaintance, the same person who had moderated the two exchange matches the day before.

As the footsteps drew closer, she caught the scent of cold plum blossoms—a fragrance unique to Ba Yi. She looked up abruptly to find Ba Yi watching her with a grave expression.

A vast amount of blood surged into the air, swirling and gathering along the airflow to coalesce beside the red phantom.

"But Station Chief, if our station doesn't send a representative, wouldn't that seem insincere?" Director Hao asked at this moment.

Still, Village Chief Liu had a way; he persuaded Liu Ningya that if she had a bracelet or something similar, someone would surely recognize it once she took it out.

To be honest, Yu Dabao didn’t think doing that would be of any use. No matter how much evidence they destroyed, once they were in the station, they shouldn't expect to get out. The people inside had plenty of ways to make them talk.
