Chapter 57: An'an's School Plan, the Best Kindergarten in the Capital!

Director Wang’s remark, "We do not welcome those who do not play by the rules," delivered a resounding slap across Lin Wanyi's face.

Lin Wanyi’s expression darkened instantly.

To think that she, Lin Wanyi, was a prominent figure in the literary and artistic circles of the capital, one who was always fawned over and treated with utmost respect wherever she went—when had she ever suffered such blatant mockery to her face?

"Director Wang," she said, her voice dropping a few degrees, "we came today simply to make some preliminary inquiries, and we had no intention of—"

Gritting his teeth, almost grinding them together, the casino owner exchanged the thirty-odd million, nearly forty million in cash, which belonged to Weiyi.

The name "Big Bad Wolf Jack" had been given to it by its former owner. Robin found it rather catchy, so he didn't bother to change it. After all, it was just a name; anything would do.

However, there was a saying from Robin's past life: "Mountains look close, but walking to them breaks a horse's legs." In the mountains, even if something could be seen, the actual distance remained quite far, separated by a considerable stretch. And that distance was enough to run a horse to death without even reaching the destination.

It called him teacher, which meant it, too, had once been a member of the Cosmic Chaldea Academy—that legendary institution famed for nurturing SSR rising stars.

Things had turned out differently from what Weiyi had anticipated. She had expected Ryotaro Tachibana to be angry and furious, but none of that happened. Ryotaro Tachibana seemed utterly dejected, looking completely soul-sapped.

Because Weiyi was in the form of Shiki Ryougi, with the appearance of Sister Shiki and wearing a men's kimono, she gave off the vibe of a handsome young man. Sitting so close to Hinata, at a quick glance, they looked very much like a couple. Red immediately suppressed this thought, realizing it was both impractical and entirely unrealistic.

"Come up." Shao Fang pulled him up, and the two of them found a private room meant for just two people within the intricately carved wooden boat.

Yang Hao naturally paid no mind to such feeble threats, nor did he expect this to make them endlessly grateful.

Although the remaining tens of thousands of men were auxiliary troops conscripted from various ministries, their massive numbers far exceeded the military strength of Yumen.

Consequently, Towns and Wiggins did not dare to make a decisive move. If they missed their shots, they would end up being "schooled" by Butler all over again.

Faced with this situation, Feng Jikai could not tell whether it was a blessing or a curse, and a lingering sense of unease filled his heart.

Given Yun Qiuqin's status, how could the Grand Princess Dowager casually arrange just any room for her?

"There's no telling; who knows, she might suddenly have a sudden epiphany and pull herself together one of these days," Ye Kui said with a smile, her eyes shifting toward a camphorwood chest in the corner.

Yet everyone silently lowered their weapons. Without a doubt, they were no match for these people; even combined, they were far inferior, especially since several of their arcane masters possessed terrifying strength that bordered on the absurd.

Not to mention, the grassland here looked covered in a thick layer of green turf, but when one actually swung a hoe down, the soil beneath was remarkably loose and soft, making the digging effortless.

After it left, we went over to inspect the arrow, and the direction it pointed to was precisely where we were headed—the Red Water Oasis! Zhang Xingyu was at the Red Water Oasis?

Hearing this news for the first time, they simply believed that Xia Chifwan had deliberately fabricated it just to deal with the Crown Prince and to win them over to Li Xuzhi's side.

Madam He nodded in agreement, and when she turned to get some ingredients from the workshop for Qiao Mingjin, she was stopped by Zhou Yanqing. Every time he came, he brought his own food, so there was no need to compete for provisions with the people at the workshop.

The original location of the Fushan Thousand-Household Office, which was the true core of the current Fushan Army, officially became the central hub of this major mobilization.

After walking through the long street, they arrived at the Imperial Inspector's Mansion. Hearing that Liu Biao remained unconscious, and although Liu Biao was now a subordinate of Liu Feng, Liu Feng still decided to go and see him in person.

Just as she was about to vault over the wall, that damn fatty happened to be out shooting birds for amusement. Chang Tai'an had no particular skills, but his marksmanship with pellets was superb. He immediately fired a stone and knocked her right off the wall.
