Chapter 114: Pretending to Understand a Foreign Language I Can't Comprehend

Aveline’s voice, clear and pure like a mountain spring, echoed through the corridor. Bai Yujing could not understand her words, yet he was willing to listen patiently. Then, silence fell over the air. He confirmed she had nothing more to say and continued walking forward. Choosing to pause was merely an act to feign understanding. No reply was given. This could also be interpreted by the other party as a cold, aloof demeanor. If he had walked away immediately, there was a chance they would assume he did not understand English.

Listening to Qian Yanyan and Sun Ling’s words, Ye Chen felt a warmth stir within him. He could tell that Qian Yanyan and Sun Ling genuinely wished to help him; they were not speaking nonsense. For Liu Yi, who had lost his parents in childhood and grew inwardly withdrawn, she was the only person who ever made him feel warmth and sunlight in his heart—a sister in every sense, though not by blood, she was closer than any real sibling.

Those three, who failed to understand, would never have the chance to do so. They had already slipped into an uncontrollable “slumber,” lost in confusion and incomprehension.

The four teams in this semifinal were the champion and runner-up of the All-Basket City Championship, along with the bottom two teams from the All-Basket Professional League. Ultimately, two of these four teams would remain in the All-Basket Professional League, becoming officially recognized professional teams and participating in the next season.

As the eldest, Tan Dahuan was the long-awaited child born after Xing Lanhua married into the Tan family, carrying great expectations.

Su Chen was also taken aback. He never expected the other party to go to such lengths to win him over. The vice president of the Purple Gold Pinnacle Guild was a name well-known only to a few, but Su Chen was very clear: in the online gaming world, this title carried significant weight.

However, Chen Yunfeng’s expression subtly changed. He vaguely sensed that Ye Fuquan was hiding something from him. This so-called new leader, “Ye Qianli,” was probably extraordinary, and the rumors circulating around the city were likely true.

Chu Ge looked at his own body, not with joy at its strength, but with a furrowed brow. Though immensely powerful in appearance, the strength bore an unimaginable burden behind it.

Seizing the opportunity, Chu Tian raised his hand. The Celestial Buddha stirred, and in one swift motion, he grabbed it directly.

The man in white darted through the forest with astonishing agility, gradually distancing himself from the few black-clad men chasing behind Mina.

For a virtuous prince to be forbidden from leaving the capital to claim his fief was already a great humiliation. Being confined to the tiny confines of his estate was an even deeper disgrace.

The sudden sound from the phone startled Han Ge. Did software really have such a function now?

“If I were him, I wouldn’t understand either. No one goes to any of the castles, yet he specifically went there. He must have had a reaction,” the thin man said.

Even with the combined national might of Mo and Shanyuan, they could not withstand the iron cavalry of the Xi Kingdom. How much less would a scattered, disorganized mob stand a chance? Yao Yun and the will of Xi Kingdom were like heaven’s law; defiance meant death.

Han Ge fell silent for a moment. If he did not want Gao Xing to leave, there was no way he could depart during the two-year contract period.

There was no other choice; he had to patiently stall on the land issue. Moreover, he had countless matters to attend to, and whenever problems arose, he called either Uncle Zhang or me.

Wang Meng’s heart stirred as he suddenly realized that Xie Lang’s so-called test was to have him enter and eliminate Zhou Tianxing, then take over the bar himself.

It seemed that no matter how much the two loved each other, this was a lingering wound in their hearts. Unless it was never mentioned, but whenever brought up, it felt like a thorn piercing the soul.

Beimingzi Xiu seemed unreliable, but that was only because he concealed his true nature.

Surprised, yet observant, he noticed Yang Qi’s simple attire and innocent, handsome face.

Out of respect for Yang Qi, they did not pursue them; otherwise, if encountered alone, death would be inevitable and meaningless.
