Chapter 90: At the Crest of Public Opinion

Xu Ze’s action instantly quieted the barrage of comments on the screen.

Amid everyone’s confusion, Xu Ze really did go over to check Du Yuanzhou’s pulse.

“Wait, does Xu Ze actually know traditional medicine?”

“This scene is so strange. Am I really watching a singing show?”

“Xu Ze looks so serious, which makes me think he’s just making it up!”

“Haha, Doctor Xu is adorable!”

Finally, when Xu Ze announced that Du Yuanzhou had meningitis—

Almost the very moment this happened, Cassius’s two brows involuntarily twitched, his face darkening like water.

“Hush, don’t speak yet. Did you see those police officers outside?” Long Qi said seriously.

A wave of tenderness washed over Leng Yihan’s heart. He changed his mind on the spot, deciding to postpone his return to the capital and stay a bit longer with the children.

A gentle, slightly immature voice rang out in surprise, causing everyone to stop what they were doing. The MS cockpit opened, and the last group of pilots finally finished their ‘assignments.’

Meng Jun’s horse walked very slowly, almost ambling along at a leisurely pace. Jin Qing sat in front of Meng Jun, her head just reaching his chin, and the stray hairs atop her head tickled his chin, making it itch.

They gambled, though they were not gamblers by nature. Yet when faced with Jun Heng, they gambled again and again. Even though the last two times they had been toyed with like mice, they had no other choice.

Since the day Ziyun Feixiang recognized Murong Haoxuan, a storm of emotions crashed through her heart.

Zhang Yi’s body swayed lightly as he slipped through the gap, with Feng Yixin right behind him. The two of them took less than five breaths altogether.

Cang Yuan seized the chance to declare his loyalty to the Exalted One, and An Qing felt a hint of disdain. But other than that, she felt nothing else—she had heard such declarations too many times. After all, she was the closest and most trusted general of Yunlan the Exalted.

Angelus glanced nonchalantly at Bi and the fierce Li warriors behind her, smiling as if it was nothing.

Tuqiao recalled how, after the annihilation of the 3rd Division, General Yokoyama Isamu of the 11th Army in Central China had complained bitterly in his telegram. Still, since four of the current divisions came from Central and East China, he nodded his agreement.

The six flying swords struck and withdrew in a flash, leaving her no time to counterattack. Combined with Angelus’s swift assault, for the first time, this monster was suppressed.

At a slightly greater distance to the northwest, more than forty thousand soldiers of Li Shouxin’s puppet Mongol Army, under the control of the Kwantung Army, occupied the area from Zhanbei to Yanqing. Though this force had suffered setbacks at the hands of Fu Zuoyi’s troops during last year’s Suiyuan resistance, it was now more than enough to threaten the Ping-Sui railway.

“Suyeon unni, was it Ziyi who woke you up just now?” Im Yoona walked up to Jung Sooyeon and asked curiously.

Fighting to keep her eyes from welling with tears, Lee Sunny nodded vigorously. In her mind, Zhao Ziyi’s voice was the greatest encouragement she could receive.

Zhou Kun was taken aback, not expecting Zhao Zhenzhong to so concisely reveal the two core reasons for his departure: the renewed infighting within the party and doubts over the policy of united resistance with the Nationalists and Communists. Compared to these, Zhou Kun’s mission to rescue someone in Wuhan seemed almost irrelevant.

She might as well hide away and cultivate quietly while no one was paying attention. Unfortunately, the Corpse Demon Mountain lay right on the westward pilgrimage route; even if she wanted to escape, she couldn’t. If the Buddhist order left her alone, Heaven’s Court had already come knocking.

Angelus, disheveled, raised her element to defend against Angel’s attacks. But after a moment, she found her chance—just as Angel withdrew her left hand and her right had yet to follow, Angelus spun and kicked hard, striking Angel’s wrist.

This area was several times larger than the previous two, with all sorts of hidden doors flung open and mechanical equipment strewn across the floor, silent witnesses to the great battle that had once raged here.
