Chapter 68: Unnamable Gaze

The female dwarf was not only carrying an antique-style kerosene lamp, but also holding a flashlight in her other hand.
The combination of the two lighting implements appeared rather strange.
Xing Yuan and Su Ninglong tacitly chose not to ask the reason; this might simply be a personal preference.
The three of them walked along the paved path leading from the workshop back to the dormitories, with waist-high lamp posts standing on both sides, their warm yellow light illuminating every inch of the path pieced together from cobblestones and concrete.
With the mindset of getting to know a neighbor, and also to break the silence...
Walking inside, the path was identical to the last time, and upon climbing over that window, that bridge came into view once more.
Rong Qian shook her head, feeling as though she had dreamed a very long dream. Many people had appeared in the dream, but he alone was missing, which suddenly made her heart feel deeply unsettled. Now that she saw him, all her vexing worries vanished entirely.
"Alright, alright, isn't it just someone saying you're partial? Is there any need to burst into tears?" Yun Shan flurriedly embraced Yun Duoduo, reaching out her sleeve to wipe away her tears.
"Then can you come and see me more often in the future?" the old man asked with his last shred of anticipation, looking at Chen Xia who was about to leave.
However, her refusal to let him enter the room was also out of consideration for him. Gongye Nan's crown prince brother had a notorious reputation for his homosexual inclinations; if someone were to see him sneaking into another man's room in the dead of night clutching a quilt to sleep, wouldn't it be misunderstood that he was following a crooked path from the top down? Spreading such news would certainly do no good for his reputation.
Drawing in his head and waiting for a moment, the innkeeper realized the imagined storm had not arrived. He cautiously raised his eyes, using his peripheral vision to gauge the Alliance Leader's reaction.
"What? She still hasn't confessed her guilt? Why? Her Ladyship has produced both human witnesses and physical evidence; on what grounds is she still refusing to confess?" Xiangling said in astonishment.
Daxi Ying looked at Meng Fang's face, which was pressed against the prison window and somewhat distorted, then lowered his head to glance at Yao Qingmu, whose mouth corners were bruised and swollen and who kept her head down in silence, furrowing his brows slightly.
"With you, I really can't manage to be broad-minded." Xuanyuan Tianyue raised an eyebrow, though his gaze softened a fraction. He gently pulled Rong Qian into his embrace; perhaps only when holding her did he feel most real.
He believed that with Suhe's brain, she should be able to connect robust health with a sturdy ox. If he pointed it out too explicitly, wouldn't that mean Suhe was far too foolish?
"I never imagined you would be such a lofty scholar." Zang Aique felt she needed to re-evaluate her newfound husband. Just this lighthearted and casual attitude towards life and death already surpassed most people by a wide margin.
Liu Yu stepped forward, nodded in greeting to the soldier, and then entered the room. Only Zang Aiqin was inside. Just as Liu Yu was hesitating whether to close the door, the soldier had already helped close it from the outside and stood at attention as a guard by the doorway.
However, for the Qian family, this auction would likely usher in a new wave of suppression. The Nether-Ghost Crystal had exposed their past glory; since they possessed the Nether-Ghost Crystal, were there any other items left from the Qian family's peak era?
When Berserker was being battered into instability by numerous fourth-tier entities, Shadow Beast 001 also struck, but its moves had no effect whatsoever. If it hadn't targeted Berserker's wounds, it probably wouldn't even have broken Berserker's defense.
Li Shimin, Zhuge Liang, Huo Qubing, Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Confucius all stood beside Su Xi.
Over there, Magistrate Zhang, who had enjoyed a lavish meal in the tavern and rested in an inn afterward, was feeling refreshed and clear-headed at this moment.
After everyone placed their bets, the dice cup slammed down onto the table with a bang. Amidst tense gazes, he lifted the cup.
So there was such a reason behind it. As an outsider who knew nothing about the history of the Fenglan Kingdom, Yan Lihua naturally knew nothing of these matters.
Regarding such a fortunate undertaking where predecessors plant trees and descendants enjoy the shade, Yan Lihua was extremely proactive. Although she didn't need to dig pits and carry water herself, she went to inspect the progress at the city wall every single day.
