Chapter 356: All Quite Leisurely

Bai Lin remained seated in the corner, staring intently at his terminal screen and occasionally tapping away.

Li Chang'an walked in, a glass of water in hand, his gaze sweeping across the room.

"You all seem quite leisurely!"

He spoke in a flat, indifferent tone.

"Captain, we completed today's mission perfectly!"

Sun Yang said, his voice muffled by the snacks he was chewing.

"We've got to have some downtime! Look at this bag of snacks—it's my reward after a hard day's work."

Wang Jing shared this exact sentiment. She would never forget the humiliation Zhang Fan had brought upon her, nor the lingering ache on her face; Zhang Fan had to pay a heavy price for all of it.

Returning to the villa, Gu's mother had naturally already fallen asleep. Su Xia pretended to drink water in the living room, watching Gu Dongjue head upstairs before following suit. Seeing the guest room light on, she quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Having seen Wei Guo off, when Zhang Fan returned, Di Xiele and Ye Xuan both fixed their glares dead upon him.

"Heh, who knows? Maybe it's some sort of honey trap!" Zhan Han was a renowned beauty, ranking at the very top of the school forum's top ten beauties list.

"Tsk, tsk, what's wrong with your father saying a couple of words to you? Dare to fly into a rage from shame?" Zhang Fan took a step forward, raised his hand, and slapped Zhou An across the face once more.

Voices echoed from all directions, and Mo Qiang's face grew dark; it seemed this Zhou Chengxin was truly playing for keeps.

"If I don't believe you, who can I believe? You're my wife; if you say it didn't happen, I'll believe you," Jiang Tao said.

As they spoke, they had already arrived. From the base's parking lot, they could see the main gates, the souvenir shop, and the grand Etihad Stadium in the distance.

"Since there is no trace of his aura left on him, how can you be so sure he is right here?" Yu Huang asked with some curiosity.

Jiang Yimiao didn't know what to say, thinking only that if she could help Hanhan in the future, she would certainly do her best to assist.

"Prince Jin, I truly did not push Consort Yu into the water," Feng Tian finally offered a word in her own defense.

Just as he turned to bolt, a violent explosion echoed once more from the sealed interrogation room. The door, which had been open, instantly shattered under the shockwave of the blast, reduced to countless fragments that surged out from the room.

"Sister Miao, I was wrong, please don't abandon me," Lu Zihan hastily threw herself onto Miao Fengyun, acting spoiled.

Yan Jingyun grew tense upon hearing Kong Yingjun's words. She hadn't expected Kong Yingjun to possess a fair amount of learning, even speaking English so well; she felt as though the ruse was about to be exposed.

Xiao Yi waved his hand at his two disciples, signaling for them to leave first, before he walked over to the bed and lay down upon it.

In the end, she still hadn't forgotten the events of five years ago. Perhaps what A Shu said was right—some memories are merely buried deeper and deeper, which does not mean they have vanished.

"It's far more than seeing a ghost; that was the Fifth Princess! Weren't we just celebrating the fact that she could finally be married off?" a passing commoner stated frankly, leaving the three of them standing there completely dumbfounded.

Knowing well that many soldiers of this era were mostly pressed into service by force, this kind of soldiering was something many young men did reluctantly. Especially upon entering the battlefield and seeing their comrades dying continuously, this war-weariness would only increase.

After greeting Zhou Yuzhu, Liang Yubo opened his computer and heartlessly went off to play games. As for that so-called Qingyu Secret Realm or the Limitless Heavenly Lotus, Liang Yubo tossed them right to the back of his mind; at any rate, he had no intention of going inside.

Just moments ago, she had wanted to embarrass Qi Qingsi, only to be ridiculed instead, leaving her incredibly frustrated yet entirely unsure of how to fight back.

Therefore, even if only for their own sakes, regardless of whether the six of them were willing or not, they had to do their utmost to help Samsara eliminate the hidden dangers and ensure its safety.

Xuanyuan Yuehua's face instantly darkened as the veins on his forehead throbbed. He knew Feng Linglong was reminding him that he had already dissolved his engagement with her, and taking her into the palace again would only invite countless speculations from the world.
