Even so, his injuries would not heal anytime soon, especially the wounds in his chest. Three bloody holes went deep enough to expose bone, and the faint outline of his heart could even be seen through the flesh.

It had to be said that, in the past, a rural film projectionist was a highly respected profession, rather like that of an itinerant physician.

Suddenly, a massive shadow emerged from the ruined temple opposite. Each footfall landed with a tremendous boom, shaking the ground beneath them.

The Blue Robe seemed somewhat surprised as well. He turned his head toward the Gray Robe. His eyes were hidden beneath the blue cloth, leaving only a wild, mocking smile visible in the lamplight.

With his reputation flourishing lately, Xu Le knew perfectly well that there were no doubt plenty of people who resented him. He did not care about it himself, but having people constantly plotting against him was still unpleasant.

Just as everyone was wondering what was happening, there was a loud bang. A vehicle at the very rear of the convoy was struck by a stone. This stone was enormous, more than a meter in diameter. The entire vehicle was crushed flat, and blood poured from the twisted doors, pooling over the ground.

Preparing military rations was not especially difficult. The main requirements were that they be durable, easy to transport, and filling.

Yet I still could not find any leads. All I could do was go over everything that had happened recently and see whether I could uncover a clue.

“What did you bring?” Fang Quan asked. Other than a few spirit herbs, he had brought nothing with him this time.

Only then did Bai Ling notice that Han Xin’s equipment could only be described as luxurious. He was level eight, nearly two full levels ahead of his teammates and even one level ahead of Ning Yuchuan’s Luna. None of them had any idea how Han Xin had managed to level so quickly. Even more frightening was his economy.

With a bang, Tian Le cried out in pain and collapsed unconscious. Jiang Chang’an glanced at the archaic token clutched in his hand and stopped in time, thereby repaying Granny Pandie for the toad medicine pill she had given him.

“All right. Even if you were not trying to seduce me, the way you look is genuinely enough to tempt anyone into committing a crime.” Ji Meina swallowed hard and tried to force his gaze elsewhere, but discovered that he simply could not do it.

“That is the right way to think about it. Come on, it is getting late. I still have to go home and report in.” Lin Chu remembered that his parents were stewing pig’s trotters tonight. His mouth began watering uncontrollably. He was hungry.

Yet this very same bureau-level official was able to speak with such remarkable coherence even after someone had struck him over the head with a cudgel.

Saturday morning was devoted to self-study, but by the afternoon the students finally had half a day of leisure. They were allowed to leave campus to have fun, but they had to return before evening study began. Anyone found absent during roll call would be punished.

Qu Wuzhou was exhausted from the journey, so this was a perfect opportunity to find somewhere to rest his feet. Mr. Liang had extended such a warm invitation, and Qu Wuzhou also felt great goodwill toward Liang Xinhui. It would be a good chance to learn more about her character and conduct. Thus, he accepted.

Dongfang Yunyang had apparently not expected Reiter behind him to attack. When Reiter launched his assault, Dongfang Yunyang was still watching the ninja from the Church of the Dark Moon and did not put up any defense at all.

Seeing this, Rokuzo Kinoshita immediately signed to Dongfang Yunyang, asking whether he should make a move.

The Faceless Man did not grow impatient. Even when different ghosts brought up the same question in succession, he patiently explained it every time.

At that moment, the green energy surrounding him had vanished completely. His body was covered in wounds, and both his hands and feet were almost entirely deformed. His condition appeared dreadful; clearly, he had suffered a devastating blow.

“Mother may not know this, but there is one thing I dare say without hesitation: when it comes to finding people, I am second to none,” Yun Qi said smugly.

“Is that so? It seems you are quite confident in yourself. But I hope you are not merely skilled at boasting,” Mu Lanserui said coolly.

This was the Fat Man’s third time addressing Shen Ying by name, and the first of countless such occasions from that day onward.

Those two points were fatal as well. Business personnel would not be as they claimed—people who loved the sales profession and were willing to devote their lives to the department’s cause. Once you could no longer pay their salaries, they would certainly change the object of their devotion.

Hearing this, Emperor Tianshou showed faint signs of anger. His gaze was terrifying, like lightning running rampant through the heavens.

Since the introduction of centralized purchasing and marketing, Fuyong Salt Field had opened more than five hundred new wells. The number of new wells had already far surpassed the total number of salt wells still operating at Xinbei Salt Field.

But Eunuch Qu did not dare eavesdrop on a single word. Yesterday, the Heir had flown into a rage and issued an order to give Eunuch Zhang, who had recently been greatly favored, a beating on the buttocks. He had been beaten until his flesh was torn and bloodied, and would not be able to leave his bed for ten days or half a month. The Heir’s admonition to remain “loyal and cautious,” when applied to these eunuchs of the imperial household who had neither family nor descendants, amounted to only one thing: obey the rules.

At the same time, reports reaching the various provinces from the Yun clan stated that Prince Fu, the Fourth Imperial Prince, had been impeached repeatedly at court. Not only had he been exposed as the mastermind behind the two ambushes against Prince Mu, but the assignments under his responsibility had also repeatedly ended in failure. Bloody incidents even occurred from time to time.

“It is nothing. I just wanted to have a couple of drinks with you to celebrate. After all, the two of us joined forces to capture an internationally wanted beggar. That is a great achievement, and it deserves a proper celebration. What do you say, Mayor Qin? Will you do me the honor?” Jin Wei said with a smile.

However, because the outbreak had lasted only a short time and Lei Yiyi’s physical constitution was exceptionally strong, she suffered no other problems apart from some weakness and a few strained muscles.
