Chapter 147: But I Have Nothing to Do with Your Art

Thinking of the hidden danger within her body that remained unresolved, and knowing that if they failed to deal with Long Zhong and the others in three days, they would most likely perish here as well, Chen Fan did not pay it too much mind. Everything in this world has its cause and effect; since they had previously stepped forward to offer righteous assistance, Chen Fan considered this debt of karma now settled.

On the night he returned home, he received a simple invitation card from Liu Yan. Compared to her previous personal visit, this time it appeared somewhat more reserved and understated. Yet, this also showed that she was not someone who fawned over the powerful and influential, and she would not deliberately try to curry favor with him just because Liu Yang was currently rising in prominence.

In his eyes, however, his speed appeared agonizingly slow, resembling nothing more than an aging, decrepit man on the verge of death.

It was much the same within the national team, where repeated defeats completely betrayed the hopes and expectations people had placed in him.

Mo Xuan gnashed her teeth in anger at someone's remark, though with Qi Dan present, she did not dare to act too presumptuously.

To be honest, despite her good relationship with Lin Yi, watching a novice who had previously been completely defenseless in her own hands suddenly rise above her still left Suya with deeply complicated feelings.

Jin Yuanbao spread his hands in a helpless gesture. For the sake of avoiding suspicion, he had closed the door when he went out; and although his underwear was on inside out, he apparently lacked the skill of X-ray vision, so this time he truly could not see a thing.

If this question had come from Wang Xuan's parents, he would have answered casually out of regard for Wang Xuan. But coming from someone like Zhao Feng... what did his position or his family's background have to do with this fellow in the slightest?

Chu Tianlu stared wide-eyed at the dark bead in someone's hand, her body instinctively retreating step by step.

"Judging by his performance today, do you believe anyone who says that Second Prince's brain is completely healthy?" Tang Chen raised an eyebrow, looking at Mei Lin. Mei Lin recalled that fellow's foolish demeanor, rolled her eyes, and remained utterly speechless.

By this time, he began to congratulate himself for having the foresight to warn Carla; otherwise, upon reaching the fourth floor, he might have blindly rushed into one of those tear-filled shops along the street just like everyone else.

"I've finally met Engineer Zhang, though I never expected you to be so young!" Li莉 greeted Zhang Cuishan warmly, yet Zhang Cuishan caught a fleeting flash of disappointment in her eyes.

Watching Zhang Cuishan and Sun Lanlan disappear hand in hand into the night, Zhao Hongyun hugged his knees, his eyes flashing with a venomous light, yet he ultimately lacked the courage to pursue them any further.

"I'm just dropping a friend home to check on things and will be leaving right after. I won't disrupt your operation," Zhang Cai said, making a polite gesture of invitation.

Then let's just assume I said nothing at all. Yuan Hao shrugged, deciding it was best not to act superior in front of Tang Chen—who could have imagined that a top-tier powerhouse of the younger generation would also be a master of culinary arts?

"Back when I worked as an assassin, the assignments I handled most frequently were those with the lowest margin for error." The passionate blood that had long remained dormant within Liu Jiajun's body began to surge and boil once again.

Wu Ling took Zhao Feng to a lobster restaurant where the lobsters tasted exceptionally delicious—a place Guo Feng had originally brought her to.

Her limbs trembled, her muscles ached, and everything within her field of vision seemed to ripple as if viewed through a layer of water.

The majority of the commanderies had been seized by warlords who did as they pleased, acting with arrogance and tyranny while ruthlessly exploiting the people of their territories with complete disregard for the consequences.

As it turned out, Xia Zhi hadn't fried any meatballs today, but she had stewed a large bowl of braised pork. The rich aroma drifted outside, driving the dog at home to bark incessantly, demanding a taste of the good food.

As for Pan Yunu, her expression—previously as rigid as a Terminator's—broke into a bizarre and morbid smile the moment she laid eyes on An Luo.

The night was already deep, and the bright moonlight outside the window illuminated the earth in a pristine glow. Taiyi hesitated as he dialed the sequence hidden deep within the recesses of his memory.

The back seat window slowly rolled down, and Qin Xiaozhi flatly uttered, "We'll talk about everything when we get home," before winding the window back up again.

At that very moment, Shiratori Ninzaburo unexpectedly received a fax that had been sent to the police station earlier that day. However, Inspector Megure treated such occurrences with absolute nonchalance.

Gong Qinghan's kick had left her feeling somewhat terrified to this day, and her daddy had even told her to stay away from the girl. Could Gong Qinghan really possess some formidable background?

Yet right before Geng Haoshi, two players from Jingtian University had already raised their hands to block his path.

Lina took a light, graceful step backward, raised her hand, and summoned a Spirit Feather—"Spatial Teleportation!" Silver light rippled, and Lina instantly vanished to another location, effortlessly evading what would have otherwise been a fatal blow.

Regrettably, the story cut off right at its most thrilling climax with the phrase, "If you wish to know what happens next, please return in seven days," leaving all the listeners feeling as though countless ants were crawling through their hearts.

He carried two large bags of green roots straight into the kitchen, where the cooking utensils were arranged with clean precision, emitting a scent unique to forged iron.

Bai Menghuan assumed this was Shen Sui'an's arrangement and didn't give it much thought, figuring it made no difference which class she was in.

The tool was remarkably simple yet powerful, featuring a core detection chip integrated with some unknown black technology that combined depth, density, mineral types, and various other scanning functions onto a single liquid crystal display.

Such a thunderous and earth-shattering set of four phrases had actually come from the mouth of a wastrel like Zhou Zhe, leaving Han Jingwei utterly incredulous.

"Sister Dai, please don't do this. In such a public place, it really isn't appropriate." Chen Che fully utilized his professional-grade acting skills, forcing himself to portray someone enduring intense pain while deliberately pretending that nothing was amiss.

Compared to the Black River Town in Lu Yuanxing's memory, beggars lining the streets and water channels had unexpectedly sprouted up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Shen Sui'an asked again with disbelief, only finding closure once he heard the name He Luoluo pass from Liu Chong's lips a second time.

The surroundings were peaceful, and countless dust motes danced gracefully in the sunlight streaming through the window. With birds chirping and flowers blooming outside, it was truly a magnificent season.

She thought to herself that she might as well just have her bodyguards throw him out. Did he really think she was someone to be trifled with? Her suitors were as numerous as carp crossing a river; as if anyone could simply latch onto her like this.

Breathing in the sweet-scented air and gazing upon the boundless sea of flowers, she genuinely felt as though she had been transported to a utopian paradise.

Sun Zhendong sighed helplessly at the sight. His mind was currently in utter turmoil, and he had no earthly idea what to do next.

After walking a few steps, the group realized something was amiss. Turning back, they saw Dudu still standing right where she was, staring in a daze at Chen Yifei on the stage. The moment Xu Mububai caught sight of her absent-minded expression, his heart instantly turned as sour as a jar of aged vinegar, leaving him feeling deeply unsettled.
