Volume 1, Chapter 127: Four Years Later

I watched silently as a young Yu Dongzhou and Yu Xichuan rescued me from the warehouse.
I watched silently as my younger self confronted Shang Rongyuan with eyes full of hatred.
I watched silently as a playful Shang Xuanjin was about to fall down the stairs; my young self tried hard to catch him, only to be slapped by Chen Lirong and framed for attempted murder.
I watched silently as my adult self gradually spread his wings, creating the BX Group through his own efforts.
I watched silently as a drunken woman clung to me, and we both fell into the water...
When I woke up again, the sun was bright, and everything had vanished.
Yu Dongzhou, Yu Xichuan, Qiao Wanyun, and Lu Zhao were all gathered in the hospital room, the four of them surrounding the man on the bed...
If he had known earlier, he certainly wouldn't have let them leave. Jiang Xie sighed, blaming himself for being a bit careless.
Wang Pangzi made sure Liang Chen was fine before letting out a long sigh of relief. He gave Liang Chen a punch, then turned to brush his teeth and wash his face.
However, after he said that, Leng Ruobing could no longer hold back; she kicked him and shouted, "Scoundrel!" before turning and running away.
After all, since that incident with Ling and Huang Yue'er, although no one had paid attention to Ling's theater, it was better to change the name just in case.
"Let's test its power first!" Tu Ming stood up and, protected by the Five Elements barrier, stepped out of the safe zone.
Lan Sheng had nowhere to retreat. For the sake of her family and her brother, she had to compromise with Xue Yu. Lan Yun, unable to watch his sister suffer such grievances, stopped her in time, threatening his own life to prevent it. The two gritted their teeth and endured, staying in the Martial Arts Hall for another half a month, avoiding all activities and focusing solely on cultivation to keep from running into Xue Yu again.
"Fine, I understand what the Madam means. Then let us live and die together!" Cao Ming took a deep breath, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably. He displayed a trace of relief and sorrow, but it instantly transformed into a desperate, ruthless intensity.
At this moment, looking at the flawless beauty before him, Lin Jie squeezed out a smile, yet he felt as if something was not quite right.

"Ee-ah! Ee-ah!" Suddenly, a strange cry came from somewhere, filled with anxiety and grief, interrupting the Purple Emperor's thoughts. The Purple Emperor shuddered and immediately rushed toward the source of the sound.
Compared to the fierce conflict between the Haixi regime and the Doomsday Salvation Army, there was little movement between the Light Alliance and the Gates of Heaven.
Doflamingo, who had finally managed to cover the bandage covering half his head with sunglasses, was successfully verified.
However, the "Burning Heavens" seemed a bit too weak; within a few breaths, it had been tamed by the opponent.
At the same time, several landscape paintings hung on the other two walls, also works by his father.
"If you really feel bored, why don't you lie down and take a nap," Luo Hongyi suggested. That way, he could still project his consciousness into the space to study the jade slips without any delay.
A piercing pain shot from their fists, making their entire arms tremble slightly.
Although he said there was no fixed price and that he would decide how much to give based on his own judgment, Lu Zheng did not provide a specific amount.
With these spider origins, after undergoing certain alien transformations, Graystar was confident he could create another spider kin that would not be under the control of Atlach-Nacha.
Gu Nuannuan rolled her eyes at the sky. Seeing her mother's restrained and indifferent expression, she understood immediately. This person was likely a colleague of her mother and her aunt—the kind who was close to her aunt and looked down on her mother. Her demeanor was quite similar to her aunt's; it was true that birds of a feather flock together.
This was even more pronounced in Cunlu Village, where competition was fierce and hidden agendas were everywhere.
Looking at the map, only the East Gate where he entered had a complete gatehouse. The other directions were crisscrossed with ravines, and people relied on drawbridges to enter. Therefore, there was no need to worry about safety; no beast could cross these abysses, so there was no need for a continuous wall.
"Uh... since it's so valuable, why would he give it to me? It's not a fake, is it?" Lu Fei looked suspicious. He had never believed in things like pies falling from the sky.
When reporting to the police, Rong Yan said she was in the principal's office. They took the photos down from the bulletin board and, after learning about the situation from the students present, they came over.
Having tasted the coldness of human nature, he trusted no one even after gaining power and having many people flock to him. He felt these people were only fawning over him because of the Emperor’s favor and his immense power. If he showed even the slightest weakness, he would be torn to shreds.

Zhou Quan was still happily and confidently making lunch when his chubby son silently slipped to the kitchen door. One sentence from him dealt critical damage, putting immense pressure on the previously confident Zhou Quan.
Pei Xi only had to think for a moment to understand why Qin Wan felt uncomfortable—whether in noble families or royal estates, servants lived by relying on their masters, but they still had hope for a future, to eventually marry and start a family. While they were loyal to their masters, they were never as shrewd or terrifyingly calculating as they were in the palace.
Regardless of everything, he just had to live on. Not for anything else, but for a sense of responsibility. Besides, he was about to have a child—with Julie. Lin Feng never imagined he would have a child, and his heart was truly stirred.
Zhou Quan chatted and laughed with Doug. He made sure to talk to every parent, as it was only polite.
As for Lin Feng, it went without saying; he had to deal with domestic affairs while worrying about matters abroad, busy to the point of losing his bearings.
Zhou Mo sat on the white sofa and looked up. He knew who Professor Lambert was and had read his reports, but he knew absolutely nothing about this Charlotte.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present frowned simultaneously. With that one sentence, he had essentially offended all four great families.
"Did you forget to take something?" Li Shishi's lazy voice came from inside the room. Clearly, she thought a maid had left something behind. Duan Zhong did not speak; he simply pushed the door open and walked in.
What kind of power it was, neither of them was quite sure, but its gentle and mild nature made them feel greatly at ease.
The maid had no fondness for this Concubine Bai. She looked innocent and naive, but her words were like knives stabbing at people's hearts; she was truly full of malice.
Mother He looked at He Yehuo and her new daughter-in-law with satisfaction. Finally, everything was settled just as she had hoped.
The swirling snow left only a single hue upon the world, and in the distance, the faint sound of a dog barking drifted by.
"Tch! So it was because of Luo Xue. I thought it was our brotherly bond. Sigh, I was just being sentimental." Xuan Yuan Tian sighed.
