Li Tianlan was no stranger to the name Gu Qingfeng.
This was the head of the Gu Clan before Gu Xingyun, the father of Gu Qianchuan, back then it was also him who obtained the statehood jade seal and jewels, then he was sneak attacked by Liu Tianqing of the Liu family in Huating and fell, while Liu Tianqing barely entered the invincible realm in the process of figuring out the statehood jade seal, and finally more than ten years ago he fought a duel with Situ Cangyue in the Mt. Taibai, and Liu Tianqing was defeated and died, the City of Sighs rose to prominence, and the status of the Liu family fell, and finally when facing the Li Tianlan in order to protect himself, he handed over the jade seal to him, and he in turn handed it over to Hijack.
An emotion that was hard to describe surrounded his heart, Li Tianlan reached out and touched his chin, "Gu Qingfeng was disloyal to Li?"
"It's more than infidelity."
Li Ruoxi shook her head, "It's hate, and resentment,
Deep in the Yun Yue Plateau in southwest Zhongzhou State, amid vast stretches of primeval forest, was a campsite you can never find on map.The campsite was basically built inside the primeval forest. Apart from the trees that sheltered people from the wind and rain, there were only a few undulating mountains around the campsite.The borderline between Zhongzhou State and Annan State lay less than two kilometers away from the main entrance of the campsite. It was somewhere extremely remote that few people ever set their foot on it. Not even birds would shit there.The campsite was pretty small. There were only about a dozen thatched huts for people to live in and a small but clean open-air training ground.A watchtower about 10-meter-high and a flagpole, on top of which the Star Flag of Zhongzhou State fluttering in the air, stood desolately in the middle of the training ground. This was the highest point of the campsite. But in su
In Zhongzhou State, as a city that was the second only to the capital Youzhou in importance, every corner of Huating was full of busy scenes during a whole day. This was especially true at the station. With the steady rise of the status of Zhongzhou State in the world, Huating's development seemed to have reached the climax. More and more people began to seek opportunities in this bustling and prosperous city. The station was filled with people hurrying to and fro. Crowds of people could be seen in every corner of the station. So many people! This was Li Tianlan's first impression of Huating. With a paper bag in his hand, he wore clothes of coarse cloth and followed the crowd out of the station, feeling like a fish out of water from head to toe. Too many people hurried to and fro. And that was his only feeling. This city seemed to radiate an invisible pressure at any moment and everyone around him was walking in a hurry. This super-fa
The so-called private home cuisine referred to the food sold by small restaurants that opened especially in residential or office buildings. Usually, such restaurants had no business licenses, waiters, and fixed menus. However, their chefs were quite skilled. The threshold of this kind of business was extremely low. As long as the cooks were good at cooking, it would not take much effort for the owner to run such a business. The only difference lied in the taste of the food. Huating was a city with a population of tens of millions of people and you could easily find more than ten thousand restaurants that sold private home cuisine here. But few of them could be remembered by their guests. After all, the entry threshold of running such a business was low, so the quality of their food was unavoidably on various levels. Among countless such restaurants, few were able to make their brands famous. Yu's Restaurant was one of the few restaurants. In Huating, Yu's Resta
Covering a small area, the yard of Yu's Restaurant was decent and surrounded by flower beds, with only a stone path leading to its inside. Some stone tables were placed triangularly in the yard. Sitting beside them was like sitting in the sea of flowers full of pleasant fragrance. Li Tianlan entered the yard and saw an old man in his 70s lying in a wooden lounge chair, sleepy in the sun. The old man was thin and short about five feet, grey-haired and face-wrinkled. He looked pleased lying in his chair, which was much bigger than him, giving an air of a decayed man in his late life. Li Tianlan looked serene. Having noticed that someone entered his yard, the old man opened his eyes and glanced at Qin Weibai, speaking up with a smile, "Are you here hoping for a free meal again, young lady? You have all kinds of delicacies to enjoy. I thought it would be pretty hard for you to cherish my rough cooking." "No, your cooking is not rough at
The Sky Academy was located between the Wudong New Area and Chongguang Island of Huating. A few decades ago, when the international situation was still stable and peaceful, and the Sky Academy had not been built, there was already an official name for the place it was located—Changqing Island. It was a place with the best natural environment and it was also one of the places with the most developed tourism industry. However, all these had become history with the outbreak of the continuous secret warfares within Zhongzhou State. Zhongzhou State, once in the mire of wars, was particularly sensitive to the turbulent international situation. In the early years of the outbreak of the secret warfares between different nations, the higher-ups decided to establish the Sky Academy after careful consideration, and they chose Changqing Island as the location of the academy. 120,000 residents on the island were relocated within a month and compensation was paid to them imme
Zhongzhou State was a country of 1.6 billion people. If the authorities were to summarize all kinds of information to sort out a list of the top ten experts in Zhongzhou State, then, Zhuang Huayang, the General of Zhongzhou State, also the headmaster of the Sky Academy, would be among them without a doubt. Zhuang Huayang was in his seventies. However, he kept in good health, so his horrifying combat capability still had no sign of decline. A few years ago, when Zhongzhou State was once again in conflict with a foreign force that had been hovering on its borders, Zhuang Huayang assumed leadership and headed to the border. In the final moment, the old man in his sixties fought the decisive battle personally. He alone pursued the enemy troops for nearly 200 kilometers and killed nearly 800 foreign elites of special warfare overnight before escaping unscathed. After this battle, his reputation, which had been gradually declining under the suppression of the headmaster of a
Room 601 of unit 1 of the first building in block A. This was the dormitory that the Sky Academy allocated to Li Tianlan. The freshman reception work of the Sky Academy was conducted in an extremely simple way. After confirming that the admission letters from Li Tianlan and Yu Qingyan were authentic, their senior female schoolmate, the person who was in charge of the reception work, simply archived their basic information and told them their respective dorm numbers. She had no intention of personally leading the way for them, so the procedure of giving directions was omitted. Li Tianlan did not feel surprised. He knew from the very start that it was a Special Warfare Academy riddled with cruel internal competitions, so he didn't expect to sense any human kindness from here. He took the free school bus together with Yu Qingyan to the dormitory area. And after saying goodbye to her at the gate, Li Tianlan went straight to his dormitory. These dormitories, t
In the morning, the weather was still sunny in Huating, but in the afternoon, it underwent a sudden change. Above the Sky Academy, the clear sky darkened with great speed. As the clouds got lower and lower, the air became more and more depressing. The Sky Academy, which was originally very quiet because the term had not yet officially began, became even quieter. The heavy rain poured down at nightfall. Li Tianlan, who had eaten dinner outside, was loitering when the sudden heavy rain almost immediately drenched him. By the time he hurried back to the dormitory, his clothes were completely wet. This made him both distressed and annoyed. Although his clothes looked ordinary, they were quite expensive. His shirt, suit pants, leather shoes, and underwear cost nearly 5,000 yuan in total. Although he did not know these brands, he had seen their exact prices when Qin Weibai bought them for him. 5,000 yuan was a fortune that enabled him to travel back and forth between
