Volume 1, Chapter 112: The Incident Leaks, Trending Again

Zhao Wenying was caught having sex in the restroom with a coffee-shop server she did not even know. A customer complained to the manager, who subsequently drove them out of the coffee shop.

The displeased middle-aged man finished speaking and turned to leave. Another middle-aged man in a black traditional tunic hurried after him, ingratiatingly addressing him.

That was why he told Shi Yao not to blame her. Yet he knew that although Shi Yao might not blame him, she would hate him.

After thinking for a while, Song Yazhu brought her fingers to the tip of her nose and sniffed them again, only to discover that the scent of the perfume was strangely familiar.

When Du Yuming finished speaking, Zheng Dongguo nodded knowingly. He then gave Xiao Shan a polite, faint smile before turning to leave. After watching Zheng Dongguo depart, Du Yuming looked at Xiao Shan with eyes full of relief and said,

This time, she was sent to the Prince of Chen’s residence because there was no one more suitable for the task than her, and they had no choice but to ask for her help. What she needed to do now was hold herself back, not recklessly charge ahead.

Thus, His Majesty would naturally seize this opportunity to invite Zi Jin into the palace as well, thereby demonstrating that the Water Dusk Kingdom was rich in talented people—and that Zi Jin belonged to the Water Dusk Kingdom.

Zhao Yun’s father had once gone to Zhending County to ask about the prescription, but the medicine was a state secret. How could it possibly be revealed to ordinary commoners? Besides, the secret formula was sealed within the commandery government office. The authorities prepared the medicine in measured quantities and distributed it to the subordinate counties and towns, while even the county magistrate was not especially familiar with the prescription.

In truth, his heart was far from at ease. He still harbored some feelings for Yue’er. He simply no longer loved her, but that did not mean she had vanished from his heart. After all, she had been the first girl he had ever sincerely loved. Deep down, he still carried some lingering attachment to her.

“The Great Yu Chamber of Commerce? Isn’t that the organization the Xie family uses to smuggle scarce goods and profit from the war? Why would it be transporting supplies to the front line?” Lily Li looked at the three of them in confusion, while A Gui and Lin Kexin exchanged a smile.

How naive. Did she think that being a wind-element mage meant she could do whatever she pleased by relying on her speed? When it came to speed, I had never lost.

The driver stamped hard on the accelerator. The car surged forward, and Zhuang Chongxian and Zheng Jin were thrown against the back seat by the sudden force.

The priests were stunned. Xiao Yi’s attack was terrifying—one punch had shattered his own shield!

Ye Ling did not know why the message he had received said that Yi Caixia could not be forced to go to Gus Manor. If she could be forced, things would have been much simpler: they could simply knock her unconscious and carry her there.

He no longer pressed Amei for the nonexistent “thing.” He merely stared at her blankly, lifelessly.

Yang Bin was speechless. Without his treatment, the deadweight might not have survived this time. Yet because of that very treatment, the fat fool believed himself to be in excellent health and had learned absolutely nothing.

There was no need to mention His Majesty’s attitude; he had grown increasingly cold toward the Marquis of State Pillar. The Crown Prince naturally followed His Majesty’s lead.

“Yes, I want to become student council president. Ms. Xia, could you tell me how to go about it—and perhaps recommend me as well?” I looked at Xia Yuanyuan and smiled faintly.

In any case, there was plenty of room inside the carriage—enough to hold several hundred people—so Zhang Ling saw no reason to be overly harsh.

Perhaps Gao Xueqin’s reputation for being handsome and flirtatious was nothing unusual around campus, but no one had expected Shi Bing to launch such a vicious personal attack against him in front of so many people.

Xiao Hanyu thought it over carefully. Whoever was behind this had considerable means. They had managed to gather such a large number of reporters and paparazzi, and had gone to painstaking lengths to prevent the police from arriving first and taking control of the scene. Across all of Wuling, only one person possessed such astonishing influence: the Imperial Venerable.
