154. Cao Xin Panics Slightly

After some time, Cao Xin received word that two scholars had appeared in Liu Bei's circle—one handsome, the other ugly.

The handsome man was named Zhuge Liang, courtesy name Kongming. Born into an official's family in Langya Commandery, Xuzhou, he was a fellow townsman of Cao Xin.

Having lost both parents at a young age, Zhuge Liang lived with his younger brother Zhuge Jun under the care of their uncle Zhuge Xuan. Zhuge Xuan was a subordinate of Yuan Shu, who had appointed him as the Administrator of Yuzhang.

The Eastern Han court then dispatched Zhu Hao to replace Zhuge Xuan...

Plum Blossom Thirteen extended both hands as roaring flames ignited. Staring at Seven in front of her, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

The Triskelion in Washington? Had it already been completed? S.H.I.E.L.D. should also have a headquarters in New York.

Chen Yu reached out a hand to stop him and said, "There is no rush for this. I have something to ask you!" With that, Chen Yu glanced at Zhenzi, who was drinking wine on the couch. Chen Jue could tell that his older brother was very surprised by the sudden appearance of another white-haired Daoist priest here.

Fatty Yu gave Chen Jue a disgruntled look. Failing to understand what he was talking about, he continued with his own topic. Those who advanced in the second round could, upon enlisting in the army, be directly appointed as centurions, while those with outstanding achievements could be directly appointed as commandants. Those who enlisted would also be eligible to advance to the third round of trials.

Immediately afterward, Lin Fang couldn't help but shudder as he felt a pair of somewhat chilly hands gently rest upon his shoulders. Instinctively turning his head to look, he saw that Dali had somehow appeared right behind him.

Hearing Hu Yifei's words, the others could not help looking slightly stunned, save for Lin Fang, who sat upright on the sofa with a trace of thoughtful contemplation on his face.

This morning, I wasn't woken up by laughter; rather, it felt as though I wanted to wake up but simply couldn't, troubled by dreams that were too numerous and chaotic. There felt to be many of them, yet I could only vaguely remember a tiny fraction.

On one hand, Kelly's mechanical divine authority weighed heavily on his mind; on the other hand, it was because the mortal realm had sent him an important message.

"Mother said that one must always rely on oneself! We will pull through!" Suddenly, a brilliant light flashed across her eyes as she raised her head.

Perhaps for many people, whether in their student days or the corporate world, what they hate most are meetings—with leaders holding forth, uttering things that sound inspirational but serve no purpose whatsoever other than to consume more time.

"No, if I stay like this, you'll still see. You... you dive into the water," Qi Sujin still remained uneasy. Hidden beneath the water, she had already secretly channeled a burst of palm force; if this man dared to make even the slightest frivolous move toward her, she would surely make him forfeit his life right here.

Naturally, people are intelligent, so knowing they were no match, their very first reaction would undoubtedly be to concede defeat.

Zongzheng Shaoqing kept his head lowered, kneeling in silence as he merely pressed a hand against his chest and coughed lightly a couple of times.

As Mo Chen's voice faded, the people behind him were seen channeling their inner yuan and slowly stepping forward.

Yun Zhan stared at that flustered retreating figure, extended his injured right hand, and casually rubbed his chin as the smile at the corners of his lips deepened.

Crucially, whether it was Nangong Yunfeng or Yan Jiuqing, he could openly feel jealous, and every time he grew jealous, his beloved wife would be left with a lingering sense of guilt toward him.

Tu Tu was amused to giggles by Lu Xiaoxiao's thoughts, yet fiercely cheered in the spatial realm to praise her sister's great victory.

Brushing against the chilly bed curtains, Zixia's hands trembled for a moment before she regained her composure, pulling back the curtains and lowering her gaze to attend to the old mistress's dress change.

"I wouldn't have thought that Brother Ye still held love in his heart for her, which really makes me look at you in a new light. All the way back to the capital, you were so cold and distant toward her; I originally thought you loathed her to the core, but looking at it now, there is profound meaning behind it." Chuhui's tone grew sharp.

"Will ringing that bell spare one from death? Truly laughable." Xuanque looked at him frantically shaking the bell at his waist, finding it utterly ridiculous as his sharp sword thrust forward once more.

"Right now, the strongest guilds in Baiyun City are Battle Mad, the Third Asura Army, and Fantasy Domain. We definitely won't consider Battle Mad."
