Chapter 25: Hoping he'll back down.
Chapter 25: Hoping he'll back down.
"I guess so." Although Qin Chuan hadn't revealed it, Shen Wangshu felt that he most likely wanted to pursue her, especially since her mother's words about childhood sweethearts definitely ignited his hope.
"Wangshu, I don't think it's that serious." Su Yingxia felt that all of this was just Shen Wangshu's speculation, and Qin Chuan might not necessarily want to pursue her.
"It's alright!" Wu Rong sat down next to Shen Wangshu. "I'll be your shield."
"Brother Wu, thank you then." Shen Wangshu already had a good impression of Wu Rong, and now that he was going to act as a shield, it couldn't be better.
About ten minutes later, Qin Chuan entered the milk tea shop. He glanced around and quickly spotted Shen Wangshu and the others. He was momentarily stunned to see so many people, but quickly smiled in relief.
As a powerful figure in the Tribulation Transcending stage, how could he possibly be afraid of social interactions?
Qin Chuan agreed to come because he also wanted to experience a life like that of an ordinary person.
In these five hundred years of cultivation, countless life and death have occurred. Almost everyone in the cultivation world is pursuing immortality, and there is no room for emotion. Cultivating immortality and seeking the Dao also requires no emotion; otherwise, let alone transcending tribulations, even forming a Nascent Soul would be difficult.
"Qin Chuan!"
Su Yingxia greeted them first, and then looked them up and down, her eyes lighting up: "You seem to have become a lot more handsome."
"Su Yingxia, it's been a long time." Qin Chuan said with some emotion.
"Yeah, it's been more than two years. I heard you disappeared. Your classmates all thought you were dead. Some of your best friends were heartbroken." Su Yingxia didn't feel too bad. Actually, not seeing each other for more than two years after graduating from high school isn't a long time. Most classmates would hardly see each other again after graduation.
Seeing her friend chatting so well with Qin Chuan, Shen Wangshu frowned, puzzled. Her friend was usually quite aloof, so why was she so unpretentious when facing Qin Chuan?
"You're Qin Chuan?"
Wu Rong glanced at it, his eyes filled with disdain.
"Qin Chuan, let me introduce you. Wu Rong is a martial artist," Shen Wangshu said proudly.
Having martial artists around is indeed something to be proud of, as it represents one's network of connections.
Look, I even know martial artists. That shows how prestigious my circle is, while you, Qin Chuan, are just an ordinary person.
Su Yingxia felt somewhat helpless. Why did Shen Wangshu insist on emphasizing that he was a martial artist? It was obvious that he wanted to give Qin Chuan a hard time.
But Qin Chuan wasn't buying it at all.
Musha?
I'm sorry, but he's killed countless people in the past few days.
However, Qin Chuan wouldn't readily take action against those he had no grudge against. As I said before, he wasn't the kind of person who liked to kill.
However, a mere martial artist wouldn't warrant Qin Chuan's second glance.
Yes, I didn't even glance at it.
Wu Rong immediately felt ignored.
Well, kid, you're so arrogant.
Do you not know how awesome martial artists are?
Wu Rong certainly wouldn't attack Qin Chuan directly. Firstly, there was no need for it, and secondly, for a martial artist to attack an ordinary person would be somewhat beneath him. However, he was determined to make Qin Chuan clearly understand just how terrifying a martial artist could be.
After finishing their milk tea, Wu Rong suggested going to a martial arts club.
"Okay." Shen Wangshu nodded, then looked at Qin Chuan, "Do you want to come along?"
The reason for the invitation was to let Qin Chuan see Wu Rong's prowess, so that he would back down when faced with difficulties.
Qin Chuan could easily see through what these people were thinking, so he just smiled and nodded.
After leaving the milk tea shop, Wu Rong and the others all had cars. Shen Wangshu chose to sit in Wu Rong's car, but Qin Chuan was ignored.
"Or, you can take a taxi?" Wu Rong said with a half-smile.
"Qin Chuan, come with me." Su Yingxia didn't want to embarrass Qin Chuan. Although they weren't very familiar with each other, they were old classmates, and she would still consider Qin Chuan's feelings.
So Qin Chuan rode in Su Yingxia's car, which displeased Wu Rong: "This jerk, he thinks he can pursue you?"
"That's right." Shen Wangshu shrugged helplessly. "I hope he knows when to back down."
Martial arts club.
This club includes shooting, horse racing, fighting, and more.
Wu Rong came here specifically for the fight. He first went on stage and gave a performance, easily defeating several people.
"Who is this guy? He's amazing."
"He's obviously not simple. Even our club's coach couldn't withstand a single move from him."
"..."
Many people started discussing Wu Rong, all of them shocked by his skills.
Wu Rong was only a second-level martial artist, but even so, for ordinary people, that was already the ceiling. Even if a special forces soldier came, he would not be a match for a second-level martial artist.
"Want to practice?" Wu Rong stretched his limbs and waved to Qin Chuan.
"No need." Qin Chuan waved his hand in refusal. It would be too beneath him, a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage, to spar with a mere martial artist.
Wu Rong smiled. In his view, Qin Chuan was obviously scared, which gave him the desired effect. He stepped down from the stage and said to Shen Wangshu, "I think he shouldn't dare to have any thoughts about you anymore."
The sound was quite loud, made so that Qin Chuan could hear it.
Shen Wangshu smiled with satisfaction, but didn't forget to glance at Qin Chuan. The meaning in her eyes was very clear: she was warning Qin Chuan not to have any ideas about her.
"Don't mind it." Su Yingxia felt that Qin Chuan must be very embarrassed at this moment. "Wang Shu didn't mean anything by it. That's just her personality. Don't take it too seriously."
Qin Chuan smiled and shook his head, looking nonchalant: "It's just kids playing house."
"Huh?" Su Yingxia was stunned by these words.
Qin Chuan, who had cultivated immortality for five hundred years, saw Shen Wangshu and others, who were only around twenty years old, as no different from little kids.
"Wow...it's quite pretty."
Just then, several people walked into the martial arts club. When the man in the lead saw Su Yingxia and Shen Wangshu, his eyes lit up, and he quickly walked over.
"Beautiful lady, shall we get to know each other?"
"Fuck you!" Wu Rong had a terrible temper. As a martial artist, it would be a disgrace to his status if he didn't have a temper. "Get out of my way!"
"You bastard, how dare you speak to me like that?" the man roared.
Snapped!
Wu Rong raised his hand and slapped him: "Get out!"
"Hold!"
The man was slapped and fell to the ground, then flew into a rage: "Take him down!"
The group of people who came with the man all walked towards Wu Rong.
"Come at me all at once!" Wu Rong said arrogantly.
Shen Wangshu didn't care at all, because in her opinion, Wu Rong was a martial artist, and it wouldn't matter how many ordinary people came.
"This guy's in for a rough time," Qin Chuan muttered.
"Yes, Brother Wu is a martial artist. Offending him won't end well." Su Yingxia shook her head with a light laugh.
"I'm talking about him."
