Chapter Sixteen: The Sole Reason

Page (1/3)

Faced with such a difficult choice, I have pondered deeply, unable to find peace. Vincent Peale once said, “Change your thoughts and you change your world.”
I hope you all can truly grasp the meaning of this phrase.
Now, we all know that if something is meaningful, it must be considered with utmost care. To have nothing, what happens if it occurs, and what if it does not? Bismarck once said that for the unyielding, failure does not exist.
I hope you all can deeply appreciate this truth as well. Bacon once casually remarked that managing time wisely is equivalent to saving time. Bearing this in mind, we must scrutinize this matter even more cautiously...
Yan Yu stood silently by, her hands hanging down. The pain in her right shoulder was becoming increasingly unbearable.
Feng Yue’s hand throbbed fiercely, yet she made no sound, quietly following him. Upon entering the room, Yin Gezhi locked Ling Shu outside, staring coldly at her without opening the door.
This was like delivering a resounding slap to his face and then trampling him harshly underfoot. This blow was far worse than the earlier mishandling of the appraisal of that bracelet.
Yekaterina took a step forward to pursue, suddenly sensing a sharp murderous aura. A long sword sliced through the stone wall, sweeping horizontally toward Yekaterina’s waist. She steadied her stance and crossed her swords to block.
Such an enhancement—let alone in China, where armored forces were just beginning—was highly coveted even by the Soviet Union, which commanded a vast steel torrent. After all, this kind of instant doubling of attack power was something no one with a sound mind would hesitate to pursue.
“Pirated version?” Li Chen asked confidently. He really couldn’t recall the market release date of the first red-and-white console. When Super Mario was being designed, it didn’t exist in the market yet. Unexpectedly, the development timelines still overlapped.
The walls of the Dream Return Tower were built so high to prevent climbing that even those skilled in lightness techniques would find it extremely difficult to scale.
Mu Qingqing and Yan Yu entered Madam Xu’s courtyard. The door to the upper chamber was wide open, and though the flower girls shouted loudly, they waited obediently outside.
Hanzo entrusted the formidable enemy to Xiang Ye, not out of fear, but because Xiang Ye’s pupil technique had a unique lethality against barriers. Meanwhile, Hanzo quickly subdued the stone spear, ready to assist Xiang Ye.
Nan Gongba, speaking, opened a jade bottle like a precious treasure and distributed one Vitality Pill and one Body Tempering Pill to each person. He urged them to return to their rooms to consume the pills and meditate. Though these pills did not directly increase cultivation, meditation greatly aided in absorbing their effects.

“Hehe!” The Master Diviner looked at Wang Weidong and suddenly broke into a chuckle. Shui Xie felt a chill run down her spine; to her, the diviner’s smile closely resembled Wang Weidong’s hallmark sly expression.
“Indeed!” Shui Xie’s voice brimmed with delight as a faint blue glow appeared at the corridor’s end.
To avoid drawing too much attention, Yiman retracted the Flame Qilin from afar and, traversing space, landed on the deck of a pirate ship.
“This group is rather interesting,” Shui Xie turned her face away, feigning indifference, then slowly paced off.
“If you don’t leave soon, my second uncle will be arriving,” Le Qing said coldly. This second aunt was outrageously unreasonable, openly leaking test questions and speaking with such brazen confidence. She truly did not understand where her arrogance came from.
A fierce tiger may be approached, but familiarity breeds no affection. After years of hardship, Wan Rongde now understood this phrase more deeply than ever.
Yiman closed his eyes and thought, “It’s over. Everything is over. I’ll reincarnate with my memories intact, hoping to be born into a good family.”
Annie did not know that Aka and her uncle had met before, but Aka’s expression seemed somewhat familiar to her.
“Look at these flowers, aren’t they beautiful?” Just as Qian Hui and Bai Zhuan left, Wei Yiqi stepped out from the hall. Dressed in white as pure as snow, his translucent skin and vivid red lips stood out against the apple blossoms, making him more beautiful than the flowers.
On another note, someone willing to sell you information clearly already holds more points than you in this project. If you give them points, even if they don’t deceive you, the gap between you and them will only widen.
Gu Qingcheng grew more frustrated and couldn’t help but slam her phone twice against the partition. The next moment, a pleasant ringtone sounded from the palm of her hand.
As long as the Four Guardians died, he had many ways to erase her memories of Mu Bai and the others, just as was done millennia ago when she was asleep, causing her to forget the Four Guardians and the myriad worlds.
A sword hilt materialized out of thin air, striking the Reincarnation Seal harshly and forcing it back into the Six Paths Reincarnation space, causing Ma Jun to be reborn once again.
With the appearance of twelve characters on the large screen, the image suddenly changed to a scene showing Tang Shi kneeling before Gu Qingcheng.

Her legs were long and fair; Tang Shi felt his mouth dry, then slightly withdrew his gaze to look once more at Gu Qingcheng.
He was already injured and had been rushing about these past days, anxiety worsening his wound. Yang Shaohua forcibly escorted him back to the hospital to rest.
The plan seemed flawless. Even if someone tried to find evidence after the fact, it would be impossible.
Upon hearing Ji Ruochu’s laughter, those present showed subtle changes in expression, clearly tinged with surprise.
Bai Li scowled at the fruits in Yang Xun’s hand, anger boiling up before he tossed them back carelessly. The large fruits bounced off Yang Xun’s chest and rolled onto the ground, startling him into silence as he hurried to pick them up. Other strong warriors, unwilling to see his effort wasted, helped gather them.
“Why should my sister be tested? Isn’t that ridiculous?” Bai Zimo sneered coldly, openly confronting. He always despised the pretentious Bai Lingxi, who acted like a gentle elder sister, but whose every word and deed reeked of falsehood to the point of nausea.
“Sir, I’ve already said it—there really is no one living here,” the man said helplessly. How many times must he assure this man before he is believed?
At this moment, a large number of siege ladders were raised against the city walls. The militia pushed fiercely against the ladders with long spears, causing many ladders to collapse, crushing countless Xiongnu soldiers below.
But after all, this was a matter for the children to decide for themselves. Yu Fengcai closed the door and withdrew from involvement.
Man Jia did not respond, merely continued watching Wang Guozheng with a faint, enigmatic smile, which made Wang Guozheng somewhat embarrassed.
“...” Feeling the other’s goodwill, the young man smiled, nodded, then entered several coordinates. The orbital vehicle immediately began to move forward automatically.
