Day 18: My Brother Loves Me Too Much

There was no one else around. He had just taken a walk around the manor villa but found no one, not a trace of that mysterious figure. To think that both he and his own sister had fallen for the same man—Zhuang Meifeng was at a loss on how to handle such a situation. She could only wait for Ling Yun’s return.

It seemed that the old master Ling Lie understood clearly that Ling Xiao’s whereabouts were crucial. Distrustful of everyone else, he had long since sent them all away.

Heizi’s smiling face faded as he stared at the “test tube man” hanging upside down in the green liquid. Suddenly, Heizi felt truly foolish for what he had just done.

“In truth, you could have figured it out yourself, just unwilling to admit it, right?” Mushan Chunsheng sneered.

This approach allowed the manor’s owner to wake up each day with a fresh sense of goodwill.

Bai Qingyan shrugged and turned to leave with Huang Lingyin. Unexpectedly, Huang Lingyin looked at him with an expression full of excitement.

Hearing the sirens, the martial artists staying at the hotel all came out, filling the lobby completely. Near the entrance, a few groups of people arranged by Daoist Wang were confronting over forty Koreans.

Lan Yun hurriedly carried Zhan Zhaohua into an empty bedroom and sent his men to fetch a doctor quickly.

Han Zeng could see the sadness in Pipa’s eyes. “My household is usually quiet during the New Year. It’s better you stay,” he said. Having known Pipa for over a year, he had only seen her composed demeanor until now. Seeing her like this, how could he bear to ask her to move away, especially since his original intention was for her own good?

“That’s right!” Yue Feng said resolutely, picking up the cup of tea Zhao Yingyan had just brewed for him. Calmly savoring it, he smiled with quiet satisfaction.

At this moment, the mountaintop was engulfed in the roar of artillery. Continuous explosions and flashes exposed Ovann’s troops even more.

“Damn! We repelled two waves! Now another one’s coming! How many troops does the enemy have?” Not long ago, the Third Army had just beaten back the enemy’s second assault. Now, the Third and Fourth Armies stood back to back, facing the enemy’s strongest left and right wing corps.

“You always side with Father. I was only trying to protect you from getting punished.” Though it sounded like a reproach, there was no real blame in Huo Yu’s eyes, only care for Huo Chengjun.

“Want to try?” Lin Yin said, neither angry nor calm. Gongsu Wanwan beside her, though seeing Lin Yin was not losing control, felt her more unfamiliar than when she was enraged, causing concern.

Ergouzi laughed at his ignorance—not only was there Dou Di Zhu, but also Gold Flower, Pit Digging, and a series of card games where one could win money with just paper cards.

Luo Yantaer puckered his lips with a mischievous smile, but if he knew he would encounter the 92nd Group Army in two days, he definitely wouldn’t be laughing.

Yu Zichen laughed heartily. Qing let him open his eyes to realize he was being teased but dared not complain, only shrinking back slightly.

“This fleeting year, no many diverging paths, who dares to scale that great peak.” After a moment of silence, he murmured softly.

Seeing Shang Si’s dust-covered appearance, Ruoxin boiled water for him to wash and tidied up the vacant guest room. Noticing he looked tired, she didn’t press him to talk and let him rest first, leaving other matters for the next day.

Ruoxin sighed lightly, but she had a faint premonition that the matter of Prince Yingning wouldn’t be resolved so easily.

After all, Black Cloud Academy was not a place of freedom; one couldn’t let others feel free to manipulate things at will.

Setting aside past grievances—after all, they had met once—he was now wholeheartedly helping her, so how could she disregard his life or death?

The moment Lin Xiao crossed the threshold, the heavy stone of worry finally lifted from his heart, and he exhaled deeply.

“I am currently acting as the adjutant.” A soldier approached the tent, hesitating as he looked at Sa Du, who was about to enter after lifting the flap.

Huangfu Xian stood elegantly, smoothing his wrinkle-free sleeves and smiled, “You’ll know soon enough.” He glanced toward the door as Hui Chun, who had been waiting outside, entered.

Yan Xiaoxiao had no mood left to be irritable. Even sitting in the co-pilot seat, she kept stealing glances at Jin Guangyan before turning to face the window and smile secretly.

“Reporting to the Emperor: just after the hour of the Dog, Lady Sang ordered her maids to wake them.” Having served the Emperor for so long, Pian’an almost failed to grasp the meaning of the Emperor’s words just now.

Originally, Lady Rong’s lips curved in a slight smile as she held a purple grape, but sudden severe stomach pain caused her to drop it. Overwhelmed by pain, her rosy, delicate face instantly turned pale and broke out in cold sweat.

“I did not realize the Emperor and the Crown Prince were playing chess, thus disturbing this peaceful moment. Your Majesty, perhaps I should wait outside the pavilion.” Lady Rong had thought Mu Yun was simply coming to see her, but unexpectedly, the Crown Prince of Fengyue Kingdom was also here.
