Chapter 45: The Host Talks Too Much
He was tall and physically strong, yet he still couldn’t surpass a cripple? Was it just because that man happened to have a few more pimples on his face? The key question was, if he couldn’t beat him when he was young, would he still lose to that wretched cripple in old age? No, he had to run. But... he really couldn’t run anymore.
Old Qin’s expression flickered repeatedly before he gritted his teeth and slowly began to walk... If he couldn’t run, could he not even walk? Hmph.
“Behave!” Tang Xue’er fiercely pushed Yin Lanxin back, then quickly released the hand covering her mouth, bound both her hands together, blindfolded her, and shoved her into the back seat of the car. Tang Xue’er closed the door, returned to the driver’s seat, and started the engine.
Just as Mother Leng thought Yu Wan might take some action, Yu Wan slammed the ‘door’ shut with a bang.
The bodyguards received orders; grabbing the committee member’s short nod, they lifted his head and smashed it against the car.
I hurriedly touched Baize, but Baize covered my mouth and shook his head seriously. I could only continue to endure patiently and wait for Baize to make his move.

Shu Ze’s discomfort grew increasingly evident, his eyelids gradually drooping.
Old Madam Li was howling in the emergency room, grimacing as if she were truly in pain.
She clearly understood the doctor’s explanation of the coma state. If things went badly, her mother might live the rest of her days as a vegetative state.
I nodded. “Our master Baize hasn’t woken up yet, but just tell me what’s going on. When it’s time to solve the problem, we’ll bring him along.”
What? I recalled that those hypnotized by Wei Xue’s deadly charm were all married individuals, yet they remained oblivious? Their wives sent peach talismans through the Moon Sect to kill their husbands? What was going on?
“Everyone, get ready and head to the conference room.” Guan Chengqing entered, tidied his desk, and suddenly locked eyes with me.
Clad in pure white with a purple sash binding his hair, Eastern Dragon Yun suddenly exuded an overwhelming, unrivaled aura. The surrounding clouds were swept away by this aura, revealing a clear blue sky.
“Then why don’t you just kill me outright!” Yu Kai’s temper flared stubbornly. He stretched his neck, closed his eyes, and refused to speak further.
“Really?” Kun Yan’s pale golden eyes flashed with a hint of bloodlust. Seeing the sword aura emitting the divine extinguishing light enveloping him, his mind stirred. A massive black hole appeared, radiating a blood-red halo, suddenly enveloping him from behind to front. The sword aura carrying the divine extinguishing light was crushed as soon as it entered the black hole’s world power.
Zhong Yu also wanted to simplify the situation, comforting Zhu Yunwen and persuading himself. Yet no matter how he looked at it, it felt like self-deception — a classic case of hiding one’s intentions only to expose them. Was this place another example of that?

As disciples of the ancient cultivation sects and clan members successively embarked on their journey home, last night the Second Young Master Wang and others who had returned to the capital watched or participated in the autumn athletics meet of the capital’s universities at the Metropolitan Business University.
The elder’s shock was beyond measure, yet his expression remained utterly unchanged, revealing nothing of his thoughts.
“Cousin! Don’t be like this!” Zi Xuan stomped her foot, expressing slight displeasure.
Why was it Pang Tong who came instead of Zhuge Liang? If they went to war with Liu Zhang, Pang Tong was a master strategist and capable warrior, whereas Zhuge Liang acted with righteousness, making it difficult to quickly seize Yizhou. After Cao Cao secured Guanzhong and launched his campaign into Hanzhong the following year, Liu Bei’s military actions became very passive.
If everything was to be sustained by the court, would the prince still have sons, and would those sons have grandsons, continuing endlessly?
A chilling aura spread from Qiang’s body, causing the void around Situ Leiden to seem to melt and twist.
So the Black Feather Army commander decided not to wait any longer. If he couldn’t provoke him, could he still not escape? Wasn’t leaving enough?
But Nangong Yunyao and the others were different. Since they became familiar with this place, the number of monsters they hunted was no less than anywhere else. On the last day of the competition, they captured more than sixty beasts.
