Chapter 2469: Saintess

Everyone's faces turned pale. They had all witnessed the brave soldiers of Pegasus Ranch being slowly surrounded by bandits who outnumbered them many times over, effectively trapping them.

Everything had settled into a stable routine. With not much time left until school, Liu Peng visited his grandfather daily for chats or went to the cliff's edge to search for herbs. He wanted to make some medicinal wine for his grandfather and parents before leaving for school, a recipe he had, of course, improved himself.

“Brother Shuyi asked me to come to Chang'an to find ten pigeon breeders with over ten years of experience, and he only gave me one day. It’s already been half a day, and I haven't found a single one yet!” Tang Yishi knew he could only rely on his father for help, so he spoke as anxiously as possible.

Lu Wuchen's eyes narrowed slightly. With a palm strike from his left hand, he sent the bamboo basket flying. Then, he flicked his fingers repeatedly with his right hand, releasing a burst of energy. Two "ding-ding" sounds echoed as he vibrated the two short swords, sending them flying away.

As May 10th drew nearer, the number of nobles in Manhattan increased daily. However, compared to last year's summer hunt, at least half fewer nobles had arrived in Manhattan.

The next moment, Adolf felt a powerful force on his backside. He stumbled, lost control of his body, and awkwardly fell to the ground.

The total military strength of the United States, especially its naval power, is arguably three to five times that of China. This represents a significant disparity.

Gusts of wind blew through, failing to bring any coolness to the hot summer night. Instead, they carried an unusually tense atmosphere.

This was Wang Kun's estimated net worth by Forbes, a fortune amassed in just one or two years, and without having undergone a strict audit.

Liu Peng scratched his head, feeling a surge of anticipation. He turned to greet his father, telling him to go inside first with Brother Zhang and the others.

Such an oath was superfluous, but it was precisely for this reason that Li Yujin believed Dongfang Ye was sincere. He had the means to completely disregard the Li family's wishes.

Those watching Jiang Fengyan win the third game were only momentarily surprised at first, but a moment later, they suddenly understood.

The Wu family was unwilling to let Nuannuan be wronged. They used four magnificent vermilion horses to pull a beautifully decorated carriage, its festive curtains subtly visible. The groom was picked up first, then the bride joined him, and the two newlyweds sat side by side. Trailing behind was a separate procession carrying the groom's and bride's dowries, truly making it a grand, traditional wedding parade.

Yan Xiao gradually ceased to be the youth who always presented himself as a profligate young master, no matter the occasion.

However, Aike found himself curious and rather impressed by how Jiang Fengyan managed to neutralize his third attack.

“All troops, heed my command! Abandon combat with the Tang army, withdraw immediately! The entire army is to retreat west, towards Turpan City!” Abdullah roared sternly, then was the first to flee with his guards.

Meng Chi seemed to know no sorrow. All day long, he would either smile or remain peacefully serene, always making people feel as refreshed as if bathed in a spring breeze. His work efficiency was exceptional; he handled everything Tang Xingzhi assigned to him perfectly. His wisdom and aura naturally transcended his age.

Although everyone was very reluctant to see Li Yuqian and his group leave, there was no reason to ask them to stay. After all, how could high officials have so much free time to spend farming with them? Everyone was simply grateful and wanted to repay their kindness, holding no resentment in their hearts.

On the stands, hardly anyone noticed Jiang Fengyan's expression, with the exception of Carter Mudd and his beloved sister, Aina.

She had barely taken two bites of dinner when Qin Huli dragged her upstairs. After being tossed around for so long, she was now utterly starved.

Zhan Xi saw the frustrated expression on her face and knew she had forgotten the next line. Just as he was about to remind her, a familiar voice drifted over.

When Cheng Yining and Lou Yumo flashed in her mind again, the fuse of emotion in Su Qianai's heart was reignited.

This was an unfamiliar environment for them. Until they became familiar with it, it was best to avoid any mistakes.

Along the way, Harry tried every trick to cause trouble, but Bassba easily defused them all. In the end, it was Harry himself who suffered, unable to win an argument, escape, or prevail in a fight. Harry was so furious he wanted to curse, but he was afraid of simply wasting his breath.

The three looked at each other and burst into laughter. Accompanied by Li Su, Pei Du personally went to inspect the front lines at Yanzhou and Sishui. On the day they arrived at Sishui, under Pei Du's very eyes, Wang Zhixing personally led the charge and ascended the Sishui city wall. The government army, with one concerted effort, captured Sishui. This was likely the welcoming gift from Li Su and the Wuning Army to Pei Du.

“Hmph, you don't need any new tricks to win the match,” Link said indifferently, curling his lip. “A gap in strength cannot be compensated by a few clever ploys.”

Baituo seemed to have entered a wonderland, a realm misty and ethereal, shrouded in clouds and mist. The scene before his eyes was dreamlike and illusory. Seven-colored light dispersed the mist ahead, forming a colorful auspicious cloud that guided Baituo forward.

Lu Hao sank heavily into the chair, taking a long time to regain his composure. It seemed too unreal; the person was simply gone, as if they had never truly existed. Lu Hao stared blankly out the window, reminiscing about the past, about every small detail of his time with Li Lili.

“What? Spells failing?” Yun Yang instantly shivered. This place was already eerie, and if their spells truly failed here, their situation would likely become perilous.

With that, Curtis transformed into his full beast form and swam away. As he passed Lan Ze, Lan Ze was so frightened that he quickly scrambled to the side.

Zhang Liantang, of course, ensured they understood, recounting the day's events in detail, omitting only the part about Xue Qing's identity. The young people of Zhizhitang finally understood, and they were dumbfounded, remaining speechless even after Zhang Liantang finished, until Chu Minghui finally let out a heavy sigh.
