Volume One, Chapter 102: Qin Bao Pays His Respects!

Diecui Garden in the early morning.

Qin Bao was exercising in the backyard at dawn.

Wei Zhongqing was there as well. Having handed over the warhorses and captives the day before, he had returned to Diecui Garden with Ma Liang and had already settled into the estate.

Ma Liang intended to stay by Qin Bao’s side, effectively serving as a personal attendant. However, given his status, he held a higher position than a mere servant, acting more as a strategic advisor.

"I am not worried about those ten-plus years. After all, a trip to the mystic realm takes ten years, doesn't it?" Chu Yang replied.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. If she didn't know that Zhou Tong was on her side, she would have suspected her of betrayal.

After stabilizing at level 3, Bai Yu suddenly launched a poke with Aurelion Sol’s Celestial Expansion. Having cleared the minion wave, he activated his W ability, causing the star rings to expand and strike Jin Minquan’s Zed.

"It’s not a new client; we’ve been working together for many years, and business has always been good. This specific deal is the largest one yet. My father has already signed the contract with the buyer, and our family is responsible for the supply. This cargo requires special permits for import," Zhao Gang explained.

Zhao Qianqian wanted to run a "buy one, get one free" promotion and was happily hauling a cart of beer. Just as the cart reached the downhill slope, she saw a van speeding uphill, driving right down the middle of the road.

In the first-floor living room, Xu An was sitting upright in front of the guzheng, her slender fingers dancing across the strings.

Ji Yan was stunned. This was such a rare opportunity—something so many people dreamed of but could never attain. Why would her boyfriend not want her to go?

She had called "Cute Bunny" two days ago to have her investigate this matter. She remembered that in her previous life, Wang Yufei had been involved in an ambiguous affair with the Li family’s second son, Li Minghao. The two had met in public multiple times for secret trysts. As for Gu Hao? Hmph, that was merely his own wishful thinking; Wang Yufei had never truly valued him.

"Hey!" Meng Yinian’s husband, Ke Chuanxi, was about to lose his temper. He quickly reached out to hold the elevator door, intending to give chase.

Fu Mingyuan knew that Su Tian was worried because she remembered how she had been framed and imprisoned by them in the past. But since everything happening now was under his control, he understood Su Tian’s anxiety. He nodded, gripped her hand tightly, and explained the situation to her.

"Look at how happy you are, your mouth is crooked from smiling," Xiang Bao’er said, preparing to take money from her pocket to pay for the comb.

"Rest for a moment and don’t join the battle yet. We are enough for now. You must save your mana to deal with the tricky ones," Ye Wuchou said in a deep voice.

Seeing the sweetness in their eyes as they looked at each other, I was truly happy for them. I had wanted to play matchmaker for them before, but they each had their own interests, so I didn't interfere. Now that one had seen through a "green tea bitch" and the other had seen through a scumbag, two kind-hearted people coming together was, in the end, a perfect outcome.

"Yes, that must be it." I could probably guess nine-tenths of the truth, but I still dared not be certain, nor did I want to be. If things were truly as I suspected, then my life would be forfeit.

The moment Jura shouted, "Oh no!", the ice roses began to grow rapidly from beneath his feet. One, ten, a hundred—within a few breaths, while Jura was unable to move his legs, his entire body was firmly sealed inside the icy rose garden.

The indigenous tribe had always been hospitable, and as the lowest-ranked branch of the Beast Camp, they had been ostracized. Now that they had the Druid tribe as an ally, they were very excited.

The hallway was packed with people. The staircase served as a dividing line: the sophomores to the west and the freshmen to the east. Those at the very front were loudly accusing each other, pointing fingers, and looking as if they were about to start a fight.

Seeing the situation, Zhou Youcai did not dare to delay. He hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects to Sect Leader Jixuan and presented the Divine Spirit Pill.
