Chapter 298: Don't Disappoint Me

Li Chang'an cast a cold glance at him: "Tomorrow's training is merely the beginning. Once the official mission arrives, you will finally understand the true meaning of hell."

The smile on Sun Yang's face froze instantly, and with an embarrassed air, he crawled into bed and shrank beneath the quilts.

"Get some sleep early."

Li Chang'an scanned the room, speaking in a flat tone: "Tomorrow requires you to bring forth a better state of being. Do not disappoint me."

The following morning, the alarm clock in the dormitory rang precisely on time.

"Imperial Father, tell him; your children do not wish to end up like the Eighth and Sixteenth Brothers, with our heads severed from our bodies."

Yet he was not so foolish as to miss Han Dong's intent, so he suppressed his urge and remained silent. He had harbored doubts about the very question Han Dong raised back in the courtroom, but out of respect for how hard Lawyer Hu was fighting to parry Han Dong's thrusts, he had not flared up on the spot.

He Yuefeng struck the table, deciding to proceed exactly that way. He was no pedantic old scholar, and the legal circle never cared much for chivalrous duels; it had always favored a chaotic flurry of fists to beat down the old masters.

Yet he felt a touch of timidity—a thoroughly agonizing sensation, so tortuous that it made him feel as though he might go mad.

Teacher-appreciation banquets were highly popular in certain public schools, where during holidays parents would seek any pretext to invite teachers out and offer gifts. However, the Foreign Language Secondary School enforced strict regulations regarding this; the salaries and benefits of the school's teachers were far higher than those in public institutions, and they disdained attending such banquets.

Looking down upon the scenery from a height of thousands of feet, with nothing solid beneath one's feet, was utterly different from the usual feeling of standing on the mountain. The violent wind blowing directly against them alone was enough to strike terror into their hearts.

The doctor conducted an examination but found nothing abnormal, merely stating that it might be a case of excessive grief. Han Dong politely requested the doctor to note Xie Siqi's condition in the medical record book; the doctor felt quite sympathetic toward Xie Siqi, so he wrote down whatever Han Dong said.

Unfortunately, after searching through all the money on his person, Han Dong possessed less than two hundred thousand, of which seventy to eighty thousand had been refunded from the hospital account after his mother was discharged. The rest of the money lay dormant in his stock account, and Han Dong had no intention of touching it for now.

To think they either died or were transformed into beasts; even if today's battle granted the two palaces jurisdiction over Yuwang County, without more than a decade of nurturing, they would never recover their vitality.

"As a warrior, one must possess the qualities of loyalty, fortitude, and unyielding resolve!" Colin's gaze swept across the gnomes as he continued.

Yang Chongzhi behaved so because he discovered that his own imposing aura seemed to hold no sway over this young man.

Emperor Yongxuan was so startled that he nearly spat out his tea, subsequently feeling grateful that the ones sent to escort the provisions and fodder were General Wulie and A-You; he remained quite at ease regarding this nephew of his.

Face was far too important to ordinary people, yet to mercenaries, it truly mattered very little.

Suddenly, Hongyun recalled the words the Sect Leader had spoken to him in the past, advising him to understand when to choose and when to let go, and to learn more from Brother Zhenyuanzi. At the time, he had turned a deaf ear, which led to his present downfall.

The only people who knew he could not use his internal energy, besides himself, were Taoist Kong and the Old Woman of a Thousand Hands. Both Taoist Kong and the Old Woman of a Thousand Hands were the people he trusted most, so Lin Yan would never harbor any suspicion toward the two of them.

A white Tai Chi Taoist robe moved gently despite the absence of wind; the majestic physique resembled Mount Buzhou, tall, straight, and profound.

Yet, as it happened, Yan Daniu had received the purest form of education, and in his consciousness, he was simply a Chinese.

One after the other, the two arrived at the place where the corpses were kept. Since the County Magistrate himself had come to inspect, they were waved through all along the way without encountering the slightest hindrance.

Seeing this, Duobao gave a contemptuous smile and soared up into the clouds with Lieshan, thinking to himself: Savages are savages after all; not only do they lack manners, but they are also simple-minded. To think he wanted to surpass the Supreme Clarity Grand Magic by relying on a mere beast—what a joke, this time I shall let you learn your place.

Jia Min actually quite liked Tamara; he merely found the nature of her relationship with Baochai and the others to be rather a headache.
