Volume One, Chapter 76: He Baxi’s Worries

Li Tianqing looked at the crowd, his tone resolute.
"Therefore, we must seize this opportunity! We must plan to take the lands of the northern provinces! All of you are people I trust... Once this is accomplished... I will not fail any of you!"
He knew Gu Qing all too well, knew her patience was limited. If he didn’t speak to her soon, she’d surely kick him a couple of times and run off.
"Click! Ahem!" The Scorpion-tailed Lion King cleared his throat. Then, Leo’s amplification magic made his voice boom, startling all his subordinates.
"Well... since that’s how things are, I won’t beat you this time. But tell me, what exactly is this samurai spirit you talk about?" Yang Ming, out of options, squatted on the ground and asked.
Inside the conference room, Lin Yixing sat cold-faced in his chair, his gaze drifting aside. Yuan Shaoteng looked at You Siyu, who was still glaring, and let out a gentle sigh.
This time, Shi Jingran was determined to catch up with Fu Qiqi. Hearing how disgusted Fu Qiqi was with him, he said nothing, but still sat beside her, unwilling to leave.
He closed his eyes, steadying his aura. After spending a night crouched on a tree branch, his body curled up and aching, he could finally rest for a moment. Even being hugged by his junior sister was better than squatting on a branch.
"Damn!" Han Bing was shocked inside. He sensed this was no ordinary fireball—it carried a surge of primal energy. If he were still at his cultivation peak decades ago, he might have stood a chance.
The six seals on his soul severely restricted his spiritual sense. At present, his spiritual sense couldn’t even cover the whole mountain peak.
According to the records, the handling of this incident seemed far too simple. All image data was missing, including information on her parents—everything was gone, as if erased by someone. Only the accident report remained, labeled as an accident, with no further details or clues.
Liu Zhentao’s words were not loud, but clear, resonant, and forceful. After finishing, he deliberately paused, displaying poise and vision—a stark contrast to others.
When Ji Kai arrived, the atmosphere was heavy. His presence broke the tension; the three magical beasts spotted their master, ran to his feet, sat upright on their haunches, forming a protective triangle around Ji Kai, shielding him from attack.
Under the moonlight, as the car’s silhouette grew distant, the corner of the Evil Spirit’s mouth curled into a mysterious smile.
Thinking of this, Nie Zhenbang picked up the internal phone on the table. He was curious to hear Xu Hongzhuan’s take.
A wretched sound came from the mouth of the shadowy figure; the tone didn’t seem to match the words he spoke.
Everyone counted on their fingers—the projects were all profitable. Xu Dongfu had explicitly offered to take charge of the industrial company. Wang Zhenyu, not wanting to dampen enthusiasm, naturally nodded in agreement.
Lu Songqing’s expression shifted constantly, inwardly torn over whether to save Liu Ya. After all, Wei Qianxing already knew about this. If Old Wei found out, no matter how much effort was made, it might be fruitless.
On the distant horizon, twelve ten-thousand-ton freighters were lined up, waiting to enter port. If Yu Ba and Xiong Er had binoculars, they’d see the Tiger Banner of the Youth Army flying from each ship.
"Damn it!" Long Fei cursed, scooping water out of the pit with his hands. Even with Long Fei, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei all working together, there was still a deep pool left in the pit.
