Chapter 53: Asking Means Bad News

As these words fell, the smile on Yang Hongfu's face visibly froze, to the point that he didn't even notice the cigarette pinched between his fingers burning down to his fingertips.

Chuandong had remained silent ever since Rex and his party appeared, even when Gaby was hurling insults at him.

"Dad, maybe I shouldn't go to this university. Let me quit and get a job instead." As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes, threatening to spill over.

For neither the sensory ninja of Sunagakure nor the Third Kazekage could possibly detect searches conducted at the natural level.

Chu Yufan, who had been about to burst through the door and flee, froze in his tracks upon hearing Lan Xin's familiar voice.

"Now, let's begin forming the groups!" Sakumo announced, and the ten chunin immediately began grouping at random, as if no prior plan had been made.

"Heh, since you call yourselves rangers, you surely must perform acts of justice." Qin Tian gazed coldly at the teleporter before him, who was incapable of instantaneous movement.

"It would be best to piece the corpse together by tonight," Zhao Chengping said. Looking up, he noticed there were no lights here and asked Feng Dayong if he could rig up an extension cord.

"Very well, then go and eliminate him! But if you find Orochimaru, get rid of him as well. Our enemies are all gathered there." Uzumaki Nagato said indifferently, feeling a deep sense of aversion toward Orochimaru.

"Fan Qiang, I really don't want to waste time arguing with someone like this. I'll just make a call and have someone throw him out to save us the annoyance," Sifan said with an indifferent shrug.

It truly was Shen Zhizhuo who had come to rescue her. She had already given up all hope, resigning herself to the arrival of the grim reaper, yet now she was safe.

Min Yuhan, however, did not reveal himself alongside him, temporarily concealing himself in the shadows, while Li Hongyuan paid him no mind.

He Zhenwei wiped his face, several times fighting the impulse to beat that unfilial wretch—though that scoundrel never held back when crossing blows with him, in ordinary times, even if his legs were broken, he wouldn't dare strike back—yet in the end, he couldn't bring himself to do it. Having such a good-for-nothing offspring, General He figured he could easily lose ten or twenty years off his lifespan.

Meanwhile, Mo Lin, seeing Eryin prepare to strike down Jun Qi and Bi Yao, took her life effortlessly without breaking a sweat.

"Your Highness, watch out!" Feng Ying issued a warning first, then drew the sword from his back, blocking a barrage of flying arrows with a rapid clanging of metal.

Since they were visiting the main compound today, they hadn't brought any bodyguards, leaving Assistant Yuan to act as a beast of burden for the pile of gifts.

"Let's wait a little longer. Someone will take us home," the elder sister's tone also turned somewhat uncertain, though she still forced herself to remain calm as she replied.

Su Yuqing struggled to break free from his confinement, but she was powerless to do so, and the arts she had studied were only applicable to formations; such brute physical strength was simply beyond her ability to shake off.

He had successfully provoked a conflict between the fifth-year students of Gryffindor and Slytherin—far more easily than he had ever imagined.

Inside the diary, Riddle obediently pulled on his cloak, drew his wand with a flick, and sent a countless swarm of emerald-green, firefly-like sparks bursting from the tip of his wand.

It was fair to say that when Lin Chu went over in the afternoon, it was purely with the intention of helping out, which was why he had bluntly refused. It wasn't that Bai Nianxue's company couldn't be saved, but rather that breathing new life into it required far too many cumbersome and tedious steps.

The shop assistants naturally had no complaints; as long as they were paid their wages, they cared little whose bidding they were doing.

"Hmph!" Lin Chu let out an annoyed grunt. He had originally intended to have a proper chat with Lin Fugui about An Xiaoxue, but now he realized that wouldn't be necessary after all.
