Chapter 107: Growth

"No, thank you. I don't have an appetite."

Although Shi Yi was hungry, she truly could not bring herself to eat. She was deeply worried about Gu Hansheng; after all, they had both seen what those infants looked like, and if something were to happen... Shi Yi raked her fingers through her hair, her demeanor growing agitated. Lei Haoran took in every nuance of her expression, and a look of sudden realization crossed his face. And they still claimed they weren't a couple and denied any connection between them.

"You came from the meadow, so please return to the meadow! It is not for you to pass judgment on matters here!" the King of the Sand Bandits declared coldly once more.

Whether in this life or the last, he had never served as a class monitor. Asking him to take on such a role now—wouldn't that be a disservice to the students?

The two stood before the tent for a while longer, discussing the specific considerations for the investitures following the Three Kingdoms period, and later touching upon the Master of the Ancestral Temple, before finally parting ways to return to their respective tents.

The Director’s father had fallen earlier this year due to his advanced age, breaking his leg and suffering a concussion from the impact to his head. He remained bedridden, unable to care for himself, and now suffered from intermittent seizures caused by his head injury.

After a long while, Wen Feng finally regained her composure. She tugged at the corner of her mouth and spoke with difficulty. The priority now was Chu Xun; regardless of past grievances, they had to uncover the truth of the matter first.

"What a naive girl," Qin Xue remarked quietly as she watched her sister’s face change in an instant.

He had taken the opportunity to flirt with her just a moment ago, holding her tightly; it seemed he wasn't yet so hungry that he had lost his true nature.

Qin Xue resembled their mother more closely, while Qin Yu only shared their mother’s eyes and brows; his facial contours were different, nor did they resemble their father’s. He was handsome, but his usual calm and steady temperament had been shattered by this letter.

"Alright, alright, don't be anxious, let me see!" Mother Qin opened the letter, which was surprisingly stuffed with money.

Xiao Xiao thought the name "Dragon Sparrow Wild Blade" was incredibly cool, edgy, and domineering, but Dabai laughed until he was gasping for air. Because of this, the fur on Dabai’s head nearly suffered a tragic fate, until he finally tearfully and insincerely admitted that the name was indeed incredibly cool and domineering.

"I don't know them, but I overheard them talking—it seems they’ve discovered a treasure!" Guardian Hua said, his eyes gleaming.

Outside the tent, there was complete silence; it felt as if only their breathing remained in the entire world. Su Jiyue remained silent in the darkness for a long time, finally calming herself.

Second Mistress Gu didn't say anything. She had originally intended to stay behind to see if the mastermind behind the scenes might be Xue Yuning.

"I just heard that they arrived today and even went to the Gao family to mock Er Ya. I didn't see it myself, can you tell me what happened?" asked a newcomer.

"Take a look at this!" Duanmu Han said with a grim expression, producing a receipt. The Third Prince took it with a puzzled look, only to be stunned by the price written upon it.

Just as everyone thought Dabai might break his teeth on that bite, two streams of blood sprayed out. Immediately following, the head of the gray-white winged snake tumbled off and rolled a long way across the ground.

She was determined to see who was acting so arrogantly. The City God Temple fair was open to everyone—how could someone behave so tyrannically, as if they owned the place?

Indeed, their family must have a genetic predisposition for twins. Her mother had given birth to twins, her uncle had fathered twins, and now she was pregnant with twins herself.

"Patron Yan, I wonder if you have any way to deal with this?" the Abbot summoned her to the main hall in the middle of the night.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the bald martial artist took a step forward and gave chase to Jiang Xuan, his speed in no way inferior to his target's.

A shred of tenacious will to survive remained. I stared at my phone; if I could just reach it, I could use it to deliver an electric shock to my attacker.
