Volume 1, Chapter 39: Lord Sun, my mistress requests your presence.

"Is Mother... alright?"
The Crown Prince had previously promised to let her see Mother, but he went back on his word before the meeting could take place. Mother must be terribly worried.
Yun Yuying turned her head away, unsure whether she should speak. Before she arrived, General Mo had repeatedly warned her not to tell Lin Qingwan about Lady Lin's situation.
Xing Lian suddenly looked up, her mouth opening, only for her head to droop even lower. If she told Qiao Muyun that she had left the Holy Capital without telling Shuangchi, she would likely have to endure a long lecture.
In truth, the swordsmanship Su Li created for Qian Qian was perfectly suited to her. Li Yunshu, when facing Qian Qian with a sword, could not gain much of an advantage. At most, she was slightly more agile and possessed deeper internal energy, but Qian Qian felt that as long as she could avoid being struck, everything else would be fine.
Meanwhile, in the north, the Khitan established the Liao Dynasty, their ambition growing fierce as they extended their claws toward the Central Plains.
The omens had arrived step by step, just as predicted, yet the final outcome was nothing like what she had hoped for. Perhaps somewhere in the long process, a tiny deviation had occurred, or perhaps it had never been meant to be.
Mother Zhu Wang had assumed Zhu Da was just causing trouble and was even prepared to waste a few vegetables. Her son had been sick and had run away, frightening her enough; she had decided to loosen her grip on him. Who could have imagined that Zhu Da actually knew how to cook, and with such methodical skill? Just looking at his knife work, he clearly wasn't a bungling novice.
He felt a lingering fear whenever he thought about what happened today, yet he knew that if Lan Qingqing had not pretended to save Jing Junying, and had instead been shot, he would have faced even greater resistance in investigating the incident.
Le Bing felt a sense of sorrow; a sharp ache in her heart belonged to the lingering emotions of the original soul. Did the original owner still hold expectations for this father?
Kushimaru Kuriarare merely let out a cold snort and ignored him, the implication clear: you are no better than me.
Without the crystal rice, white jade cabbage, and other such provisions, the One-Finger Temple was left with only the rice once donated by the villagers. After all this time, that had long since run out. Usually, they survived by foraging for wild vegetables and mushrooms in the mountains.
Qian Qian had set her goal early on: the Department of Basic Physics at A University. Consequently, her senior year was far more grueling than anyone else's. The more fundamental the discipline, the higher the academic requirements; the miserable Qian Chuanzi had to sit for seven exams in total.
It turned out to be a science program dedicated to the aurora. As the narrator explained, the scenes on the television constantly shifted, showcasing auroras appearing in various parts of the world.
Because of the initial disharmony among the seven great demon hunters, the consciousnesses of the seven worlds themselves were in conflict, leaving Earth in a state of constant warfare for a very long time.
At this moment, the Chinese laborers were still tightly packed together. On the outer perimeter, several rows of strong men stood arm-in-arm, pushing back against the white men who were slowly surging forward. Yet, strangely, the sharp screams were coming from the white men in the very center, creating a truly bizarre scene.
What is a dream? It is not entirely controllable, so sometimes, the truths hidden in the subconscious seep out unconsciously into the dream.
In the next parliamentary election, the Liberal Alliance would achieve remarkable results. The important figures present naturally hoped to have a share of this feast; with a common goal, any wise politician would make a choice that aligned with the prevailing trend.
It appeared now that the decision made back then had indeed begun to take effect. In the years that followed, although this agricultural department was not a popular choice, it still provided the Nanyang system with hundreds of agricultural experts who could be considered outstanding for this era.
