Love at First Sight, Chapter 96: Let Me Rest for a Moment First

Zunyou had remained silent at the side the entire time. After all, the matter concerned him; if he were too eager to take a stand now, the Emperor would inevitably grow suspicious.

After Lord Wei withdrew, the Emperor turned to him and said, “Go back for today. Do not reveal a word of this to anyone. When the truth comes out in three days, I will give you an answer.”

“Yes. Your son thanks Father Emperor. In that case, I will take my leave first.”

Zunyou stepped forward and bowed.

The man had always been cautious; even when, in his previous life, he harassed his eldest sister-in-law, he used only secret and despicable methods.

Because she had let down her guard, the burst of power had hit without warning just now, and she had failed to seize Tan Xian, leaving him in his present peril.

A meal must be eaten one bite at a time. If the undertaking grew too large, and the later orders could not keep up, then so many contract factories would likewise be impossible to keep afloat.

Back when her parents came looking for her, she had relied on her flawless deadpan expression to hide her discomfort perfectly.

Peng Yue knew of the three heroes of the early Han, that unlucky soul minced to pieces by Liu Bang; yet his talent for guerrilla warfare was formidable. Though he had never defeated Xiang Yu in open battle, he had repeatedly caused him losses, and among the famous generals of the late Qin, he could still be ranked among the top five.

During the past half month, Ning Yun had been extraordinarily busy. He had sent people searching day and night, yet still had not found a second person who met the requirements.

Judging from the space inside that pouch, the beast cores and materials he could continue to collect would be extremely limited.

This time, the anti-Qin forces of the world had formed a coalition of feudal lords. As long as Zhao Tuo had sent no one over, and had not supported the King of Han in becoming the Son of Heaven, then with such an anomaly in existence, if not Zhao Tuo, who else should be attacked?

Even the barrier was shattered by that force. Water surged in from all directions into her nasal passages, and she could not breathe. Instinctively, she held her breath.

Jiang Sheng frowned. With the Qin matriarch there, he could gain no advantage at all; that woman’s mouth truly never showed mercy.

Most of the time, she merely wore a cold sneer, low and lightly mocking, icy yet strangely captivating, and it made her indifference plain for all to see.

Before her thoughts could even form, Lian Xin raised both hands and pushed against Jiang Yu, trying to create distance between them. She had not expected Jiang Yu to roll so gracefully and pin her beneath him.

Murong Chong’s mood grew even better, though his hands did not slow. After removing all the pearls and ornaments from her hair, he loosened her scalp a little, then took a red ribbon from his robes and, with meticulous care, tied her hair into a ponytail.

Having come to terms with it, Yun Tiange returned to her room, lay down fully dressed beneath the covers, and began to pretend to sleep.

That was the system’s involuntary curse. Nan Shu instantly drew back her hand again, feeling the faint wet itch that had flashed across her thumb a moment earlier, as though her whole body had been jolted by electricity.

Every day he obediently attended class; once, he even stopped Gu Cheng in the corridor and kissed him in the middle of an argument.

Su Muyu’s arrogance rose at once. Lifting his chin, he returned Meng Bin’s look with one of smug triumph.

An Yan suddenly thought of the expression on Chu Xia’s face the last time she had come to see her, and of the hickeys on her body.

The fingertip without a nail hooked instantly beneath the lecherous man’s chin and slashed hard, leaving several bloody marks at once.

Jiang Yu touched his face and sat up. That pinch from Lian Xin had really hurt. He had not expected her grip to be so strong.

As consciousness gradually returned, Shen Changqing slowly opened his eyes, and what met his gaze was a land like a paradise beyond the mortal world.

Upon hearing the name of the bar, and with Jiu Xi’s phone call to him, the clever Gu Jin immediately understood that Jiu Xi knew the bar belonged to him.

The Master of the Mystic Sect stared fixedly at Gui Xiu Luo. His body began to tremble uncontrollably, and stark terror showed in his pupils.

At that moment, Li Yutong came downstairs in high heels. Seeing the two of them cursing Fan Yunli, she immediately snapped at them, her tone stern and carrying a heavy sense of pressure.

In the meantime, Virgil had also sent letters to his three roommates, but unfortunately they had already bought the textbooks and missing supplies for the new term. They had finished their homework as well, and planned to enjoy the rest of the holiday.
