Do you know any reliable matchmakers?

Of course, Wang Cong said this deliberately. Today, he had intentionally applied makeup to make himself look less handsome and quite ordinary; he even had the makeup artist give him a slight underbite.

Tian Shu frowned, remaining silent. Without the schemes of Chief Steward Tian, he had no idea how to win the favor of the Third Master of Ghosts, nor did he have a clue about the secret mission assigned to him.

"Ruthless moves, riddled with openings, yet those openings are clearly exposed on purpose. This is a desperate madman playing for his life!" Hui Tian remarked coolly.

"Modifying the gene tree?" Xi Yueshuang exclaimed in shock. Just as she was about to say something more, she realized that Feng Hao’s blood-stained finger was already pressed against her forehead.

"That works out perfectly." Yan Xi threw these words over his shoulder before setting off toward the Tan estate.

But Xuzhou must be desolate now; with one hundred thousand men fallen at Jie Mountain, Tao Qian would have plenty to keep him busy for a while.

"That foreigner only knows how to make excuses when he loses! It’s clear he’s no match for our son, yet he claims our son distracted him!" Mother Qiu grumbled.

Her sister, Jia Ruolan, had even tried to bribe Xie Zeng with a heavy purse to join the Jia family as a guard, but he had refused.

Princess Yizhang lowered her eyes, unwilling to look at Emperor Zhiyou’s expression any longer—what she had seen earlier was already enough.

Furthermore, he discovered that it wasn’t just Han soldiers here, but Xiongnu as well, maintaining a ratio of nearly two to one.

Long Xiao ignored him. Seeing the dozen large ships bearing down upon them, with a dozen aircraft and a dozen searchlights overhead, he did not panic. Instead, he stepped toward the bow of the deck and, clutching the walkie-talkie, spoke to Ye Chenyuan in a hoarse voice.

Since arriving here, Qiu Tian could have exposed his identity at any time, but not only had he refrained from doing so, he had actually protected his life twice. Jiang Fan could not fathom the man’s true motives.

At first glance, the reasoning sounded perfectly sound—a man desperate to get ahead, willing to take risks to make a name for himself.

If he didn’t lend a hand to such a foolish creature, he probably wouldn't survive to adulthood. That was why he had reluctantly helped him check his bone structure and, on a whim, skipped the sect’s standard techniques to find one better suited for him. Consequently, after the boy rebuilt his golden body, he used only the cultivation method he had provided.

Cheng Yu was somewhat lacking in emotional expression. Before he could stop Ye Xun from bowing, he hurriedly clasped his hands and returned the salute. His lips moved, but no words came out; his eyes simply reddened without him realizing it.

Baili Feiyu told herself not to argue with a sick man. Based on the pulse she had taken, with a body in such a disastrous state, it would indeed be difficult for any normal person to be up and about.

"Finally, there are the guards at the pass. I believe that with my current fifth-rank cultivation, even if I cannot defeat a Life Soul realm practitioner, I can certainly stall them. The real pressure is on the four of you."

As she spoke, a silver needle appeared between Baili Feiyu's fingers, which she flicked toward the tea stems scattered on the table.

"This... this should be the place." Yin Tianpo rubbed his scalp, replying with uncertainty. The three of them fell into a dilemma.

"Hush." Bailon held a finger to his lips and tilted his head with a smile, appearing completely innocent and harmless.

"What is going on with these people?" Shen Linxian asked as Sister-in-law Zhang came out to greet them.

Xiao Ju gasped. He found the situation difficult to explain and secretly slapped himself, wondering how he could have been so calculatingly wrong as to fail to sense Man Aile’s arrival.

Their abilities were formidable, and they were heavily relied upon, which, of course, meant they had to be treated with a certain degree of importance.

He had heard of it before: a company in a city across the sea, home to the formidable battlecruisers Renown and Hood. However, he had never been fond of British ships and had no intention of visiting to seek their guidance, yet it seemed it was them after all.

In the end, she didn't swap the hero aircraft for standard carrier-based ones. The main reason was that she couldn't wait to finish off a certain hateful fellow. Holding a red umbrella that looked like a collection of propeller blades, Daifeng sailed slowly across the sea, her head tilted toward the sky.

However, it was clear that this method consumed an immense amount of vitality and could even severely damage one's own soul, so Qingniao would not use it unless absolutely necessary.

Sister-in-law Zhang went over to say a few words, and those people put down the account books and everything else, finally leaving behind a large ring of keys.

Sun Dahei also checked the internet to see the interview with that foul-mouthed reporter. Sure enough, the man’s mouth was truly vile, and Sun Dahei’s Weibo had already exploded onto the trending topics.

Since they were complete strangers, the fact that they were so enthusiastic about arranging jobs for his family and schooling for his children was a debt of gratitude so great... he didn't know how to repay it.

A gentleman can be deceived by a righteous path; that is, using a reason that sounds reasonable to guide them onto a path you have pre-determined, ultimately achieving the result you desire.

However, the academy had a great formation, and there was support from Ming Yin outside, which was why Po Lie felt at ease not going along to provide escort.

"Jue... he is injured and hasn't woken up yet..." Whenever Su Yaowu thought of Leng Tianjue lying in bed, her expression instantly turned desolate, and her tone could not mask her sorrow.

As the sun rose, Li Ling and Kahn each sank into their own thoughts, neither speaking another word.

Lin Da watched helplessly as Lin Yan led several maids into his territory; his mouth twitched, but he dared not say a word.

Using frozen ribs might be a matter of cost, but cutting corners even on removing corn silk was a reflection of the restaurant staff's attitude.

"Good! No problem. I will tell you about myself bit by bit from the beginning. But before I start, could you tell me your name? I don't even know how to address you right now." Li Ling smiled playfully.

Xiang Qin, still teary-eyed, looked at Emperor Tianxing and said firmly, "Your Majesty, the net of heaven is vast, and though it is sparse, nothing escapes it. We will certainly find evidence to prove our innocence!" After she finished speaking, she kowtowed heavily to Emperor Tianxing.

Watching Li Ling remain silent for a long time, Xia Yan felt a wave of sadness. They were at an age where they shouldn't have to bear so much, but for the sake of survival, they had to harden themselves to face it. After all, in troubled times, human life was as cheap as dirt.

I have never seen my third sister, nor do I know where she was sent. It is said she was abandoned at the bridgehead of the neighboring village. She was only two years old at the time and didn't understand anything. Whether she lived or died, no one knows.
