Chapter 110: The Gunpowder Smell in the Restaurant

Standing outside the office for several seconds, he gathered his emotions, opened the door, and the moment he stepped inside, he saw Shang Linjun with his back turned, the cigar in his hand burned halfway. Gazing at that solitary back, he felt a trace of loneliness. Closing the door, he approached Shang Linjun's side and spoke with a mix of caution and prudence: "Boss, in fact, Miss Murong's feelings toward her past with He Zheyu are very............ Shang Linjun turned around, his ink-black eyes carrying indifference, his face etched with a wicked charm, his tone provocative as he asked, "What does it matter? If they don't mess around, how am I supposed to watch the show?" She clashed with Lin Xin precisely to vent her resentment to you about what she had said... On the high stands of the arena, Mu Ran looked down in astonishment, his gaze fixed on Yun Luofeng whose eyes were tightly closed, filled with confusion. Moreover, that company was the foremost in the nation, and it had even indicated that Lu Jingyun would be willing to work for them after graduation, with the best treatment and benefits. However, for Yang Jingyu, this student status held no great significance. They had originally owed Mu Hanyan a life-saving debt, and previously, unable to help, they felt remorseful guilt; how could they cause her trouble? At this moment, his mouse hovered over a post whose theme read: On the past celebrity boyfriends of the nation's good mother. Over the weekend, he wasn't forcing Jiu Jiu to accompany him; instead, he inquired about Jiu Jiu's schedule. If she had no time, he would come to her school to keep him company. "What do you mean exactly!" The voice was heavy with harshness, as if he wished to pounce and devour him alive. His family was so impoverished and difficult, yet Chen Changsheng had not despised him; now his son was satisfied with Jiu Jiu, so what was there left for her to be unhappy about? The woman before him was lying on the ground in such a wretched, pleading manner, where was the ruthless, heartless demeanor she had shown when she sent her back to the Feng family in her previous life, clutching the silver notes from Liu Shi and declaring to her, 'If a person does not care for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them' with ruthless determination? Since there were many people, it took three full days to examine everyone; He Ruoyu did not need to go daily but could wait hesitantly at home for news. After a few days, someone arrived saying He Ruoyu had passed the preliminary selection and could rest assured for the finals. "Dong Xuan Immortal Venerable!" Zhang Huiyue's face changed drastically; he immediately deployed a defensive light shield, appearing as if confronting a formidable foe. Zhan Mu Qing gave her a cold glance, unconcerned with acknowledging her, but upon seeing Zhan Mu Ting nearby, he still extended him a favor. Hearing the busy tone from the phone, Song Jianglin hesitated to set it down, his gaze growing increasingly sorrowful. The master had already expelled Zhi Ran from the sect and taken back the God Devouring Cauldron; how had it come into her hands? Regarding the sudden influx of fans, Si Nian maintained a smile throughout the journey, making Zhan Mu Qing seethe with jealousy. Of course, others kept their distance from him like from snakes and scorpions—not only to avoid provoking him, but because some recognized him as the array setter who had pitied over four hundred top experts from various forces. This place was rather suitable; he had planned to rent a flower shop to tend to it casually. At night, he would meditate and rest in the shop, which was somewhat austere, but if there were two bedrooms, it would be perfect. Cultivation practitioners sometimes closed for decades during seclusion, but occasionally needed to sleep to nurture their divine souls. Luo Xiu pondered that in half a month's time, with the medicinal herbs he possessed and by purchasing additional ones from Zhu Yingxiong's home, he could break through to the fourth layer of Qi Refining. Once he reached the fourth layer, entering the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and his cultivation advanced to the Core Condensation realm, many intermediate-level spells and divine abilities would become accessible. Furthermore, after arriving in this world, his wisdom and demeanor far surpassing his peers had allowed him to excel academically in his youth and be sent to the prestigious school afterward. The principal observed Zhou Jie's business card and, hearing of his willingness to donate to the school, softened his tone considerably. The sky outside had turned completely dark; Mu Han dared not activate his phone's flashlight, only able to examine the room's situation in the faint glow of the screen.
