Chapter 21: The First Windfall

"Brother Yu, I am here!"

Yu Gui had only finished his lunch a short while ago and was resting on a rocking chair behind the warehouse door. He was surprised to see Hua Changxi arrive at this hour. "Sister Changxi, why are you here at this time?"

Hua Changxi smiled and said, "I was afraid of delaying your business, Brother Yu, so I rushed over as soon as I finished my chores."

Yu Gui stared in disbelief. "You finished your chores?" Cleaning five hundred medicinal herbs was no easy task.

"I suppose that is the only explanation for now; I am just lucky," Li Shaofan thought. Currently, this was the only way he could explain his situation, as he knew nothing else and couldn't fathom how things had turned out this way.

Originally, Wu Gan's Mai Shiranui had started with a Tome of Power, intending to use the damage output to suppress Jiang Ziya.

Flame talismans were relatively easy to craft because fire was so closely tied to human life, but lightning talismans were different. After all, lightning was something humans could not control; to craft them, one had to wait for the rainy season when lightning was more frequent.

By the time Wang Dongqing realized what was happening, he saw only a long sword piercing Lin Yuanyuan’s heart, while Bailiusheng, who held the blade, laughed maniacally.

Li Shaofan smiled without a word. As the two of them and the beast continued their journey, the pursuers behind them had vanished. Since they could kill those who came before, killing these pursuers was not impossible, but it was better not to look for trouble now; otherwise, they would surely face a miserable death.

Lu Kun was momentarily stunned, but knowing he could not defy the competition committee, he nodded hurriedly.

The bald man spoke with such righteousness and a well-reasoned air that he gave off the illusion of being a very decent person.

He had not seen Yang Yue for several years. In their conversation today, Yang Yue’s foresight and vision far exceeded his own. If he had looked down on Yang Yue in the past, today, he felt completely humiliated by him.

"No, no, no, you would absolutely never do such a thing; we trust you," a middle-aged man said repeatedly, though his heart felt aggrieved enough to cry. Previously, they had sympathized with Cheng Bao’s miserable fate in their hearts. If they had a choice, they would certainly choose to be in Cheng Bao’s position; even five hundred lashes would be better than suffering such public humiliation.

The Emperor remained silent. Both men knew it would be difficult to replace the Right Wuwei Armored Cavalry, and for a moment, the competition for the title of General of the Flying Cavalry seemed to grow increasingly murky.

"This round they are the blue side and we are the red side. I don't think they will snap-pick Sion right away. If TheShy wants to play Sion, we can pick him to deny it, or if he doesn't want to play him, it's simpler to just ban him," Su Wei said.

"Hello everyone, I am Gu Siyao, the daughter of the once-fallen Gu family. As you all know, I have been to prison."

At this moment, whatever performance he might give or whatever he might do, he suddenly rushed toward Ye Chen.

"If there are any more strange rumors regarding President Yu’s private affairs circulating within the company, I will deduct pay and fire anyone I catch. If anyone continues these boring activities outside the company, I will ensure they are blacklisted across all channels."

It was no great cargo; instead, it was a muscular, bald giant from Yinping Mountain.

As a top-tier mid-laner, how could Song Yijin let such a heaven-sent opportunity slip by? He decisively flashed forward, casting a poisonous mist at EZ’s feet. Ling Wang also flashed in, hacking and slashing wildly. Brother Zao could only use his heal in despair before passing away peacefully.

Out of courtesy, Ye Wanning thanked her. She did not want Shen Qingxiang running over here too often; if it were simply out of concern for her care-taking or to check on Fu Linjie’s injuries, she would have no objections.

However, before the sky turned completely dark, Liu Yu needed to find a water source. Having no container to store water, he had to drink his fill before nightfall, relying on this intake and some water-rich wild fruit to get through the night.
