Chapter 92: Meeting Wang Xinqian Again

~11 min read 2,014 words

Soon, Chen Yan and Li Qingyuan walked to the road intersection and waited for the shuttle bus under a road sign.

One side of the road leaned against a mountain, with mountain ranges stretching and undulating, like a phoenix spreading its wings.

The other side was a plain, where the bustling Yunmeng City could be seen.

Quite a few sedans passed by, moving at extreme speeds.

The closer one got to the bustling city, the more convenient the transportation became, and the level of technology was also far beyond that of the County Town.

Soon, a red sedan pulled over, and a glamorous woman with dyed red hair rolled down the window; she had a Cigarette in her Mouth, and her eyes landed on Chen Yan and could not move away:

"Little Brother, where are you going? I'll give you a ride."

"I'm just resting here," Chen Yan said with a Smile.

"Big Sister will take you to play somewhere fun, how about it?" The woman spoke with a coquettish tone, preparing to get out of the car, not intending to let Chen Yan go.

The red-haired woman stepped out of the car, extinguished her Cigarette, and walked toward Chen Yan.

This Youth wearing Black Clothes was truly too handsome, and she had dated several boyfriends, yet none of them possessed the aura between Chen Yan's brows.

Beside Chen Yan, Li Qingyuan pursed his lips.

Although he felt it didn't matter, the fact that this woman only had eyes for Chen Yan and completely ignored him still made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"I said, I want to rest," Chen Yan said with a Smile, suddenly extending his right hand and flicking his Finger slightly.

The woman was coming over with a beaming Smile, but suddenly heard a loud 'Boom—' sound, and a ring of White Mist shockwave slowly dissipated from between Chen Yan's fingers.

The woman was startled, her Pupil trembling, and she hurriedly returned to her car:

"Sorry, sorry! You go ahead!"

Having said that, the sedan drove off in a hurry.

Li Qingyuan pursed his lips and said with a slightly awkward Smile: "City people are quite open, huh."

Chen Yan, however, shook his head indifferently.

In a large forest, there are all kinds of birds.

After waiting for a while, a black sedan drove past like a gale, kicking up a wave of Dust.

Two blue flames sprayed from the Tail of the sedan.

"A car like this costs over Five Million," Li Qingyuan sighed.

A glimmer of interest also appeared in Chen Yan's eyes.

The speed of this car was already over one hundred kilometers per hour.

Screech!

The sedan stopped, then immediately reversed toward the two of them.

"Chen Yan, what a coincidence."

A crisp female voice rang out, and Wang Xinqian's head poked out of the window, smiling at Chen Yan with slight nervousness.

"Mm, what a coincidence." Chen Yan looked at Wang Xinqian, and a hint of a Smile also appeared on his face.

At the same time, the driver's side window rolled down, and a Youth wearing sunglasses smiled very friendly at the two of them:

"Brothers, get in, I'll give you a ride."

Li Qingyuan did not speak and looked at Chen Yan; after all, this was Chen Yan's acquaintance.

"No need, we'll take the shuttle bus," Chen Yan said quietly.

Wang Xinqian lowered her head, a trace of imperceptible disappointment appearing in her eyes, but the man in sunglasses smiled:

"Brother, you must be going to Nanjiao too, right? The shuttle bus is too slow. I drive fast; we'll be at Nanjiao in about Two Hours."

The other party's attitude was very sincere, so Chen Yan thought for a moment and nodded.

"Come, sit here."

Wang Xinqian, who was sitting in the back seat, spoke up quickly. Chen Yan sat down beside Wang Xinqian and only then noticed that a heroic-looking woman with short hair was also sitting on the other side of Wang Xinqian.

The other party smiled slightly at Chen Yan:

"My name is Jiang Lüfu."

Li Qingyuan sat in the passenger seat.

"My name is Liu Yu." The Youth sitting in the driver's seat took out two drinks and handed them to Chen Yan and Li Qingyuan:

"The three of us are all students of Teacher Yu. Teacher Yu asked the three of us to come to Qingshan to gain some experience."

"My name is Li Qingyuan, and he is Chen Yan," Li Qingyuan said while taking the drink:

"Thank you."

"We are from Yigao. Which high school are you from?" Liu Yu continued to ask.

"We are from the Luoshan County County Town Martial Class," Li Qingyuan said while drinking his beverage.

"Oh, I see. Wang Xinqian is also from Luoshan County; no wonder she knows you," Liu Yu said with a laugh, then stepped on the gas pedal.

A sense of being pushed back hit them, and the scenery outside the window changed in an instant.

Beside Wang Xinqian, the short-haired woman named Jiang Lüfu frowned slightly when she heard that Chen Yan and the other were from Luoshan County, but she didn't say anything.

Her eyes looked at Chen Yan from time to time, then quickly moved away.

"Chen Yan, I didn't sign the Gong Family Contract," Wang Xinqian said.

"Mm."

Chen Yan nodded, though he felt a bit surprised inside.

"Chen Yan, are you going to Nanjiao to hunt for treasure too?"

Wang Xinqian continued, but she didn't get an answer from Chen Yan. She turned her head to look, only to find that Chen Yan had already closed his eyes to rest.

"Chen Yan..." Wang Xinqian pursed her lips, then smiled slightly and said no more.

Chen Yan had no time to converse with Wang Xinqian.

Within his brain, he was still digesting the Array Knowledge he had obtained from the Observation and Imagination of the Green Pupil Ancient Beast's Eyeball.

"Li Qingyuan, your True Martial Class should be ending soon, right?"

Jiang Lüfu, who had not spoken until now, said calmly at this moment.

"Mm, it will end within these two days."

"Then after that, are you going to participate in the Tianjiao Trial?" Jiang Lüfu continued to speak.

"Cough, cough."

Just as Li Qingyuan was about to speak, Liu Yu in the driver's seat gave a dry cough:

"Brother, this drink is not bad, right?"

"It's good," Li Qingyuan said with a laugh, thinking to himself that Liu Yu was someone worth getting along with.

Just now, Jiang Lüfu was clearly testing the strength of him and Chen Yan.

After all, only the top three of the True Martial Class could enter the Tianjiao Trial.

Yet Liu Yu interrupted, bypassing this topic, which saved Li Qingyuan from embarrassment.

However, Li Qingyuan did not care about Jiang Lüfu's probing; if one's strength is powerful, all problems will disappear.

He took a sip of the drink:

"I am not yet in the top three of the True Martial Class, so logically speaking, I do not have the qualifications to enter the Tianjiao Trial."

As for how Chen Yan was, Chen Yan had not expressed his stance, so he would not say.

Jiang Lüfu frowned slightly, then nodded, and asked no more questions.

Instead, Liu Yu laughed:

"It's fine, it hasn't ended yet, has it?"

Li Qingyuan gave a faint laugh and did not mind it anymore.

In the back seat, Wang Xinqian wanted to ask about Chen Yan's situation, but quickly held back.

She had performed very poorly in front of Chen Yan last time, and she could not perform poorly again this time.

Time passed slowly, and the car's speed slowed down.

Liu Yu drove into a parking lot.

"Chen Yan, we're here." Wang Xinqian pushed Chen Yan's shoulder.

"Mm." Chen Yan opened his eyes and laughed:

"Thank you."

The Meditation along the way had allowed his understanding of the Protective Pattern to deepen by a level.

His Protective Pattern was originally Martial Grade Yi-Rank, but after continuous conceptualization during this period, it was not far from Martial Grade Class A.

Breaking limits, defeating strong enemies is breaking limits, but the continuous seeking within one's heart seems to be breaking limits as well!

Seeking the truth, exploring the true essence of the world!

Until the day of transcending the true essence!

A brilliant light grew even more intense in Chen Yan's pupils.

"You..."

Wang Xinqian wanted to speak but stopped; although Chen Yan had just woken up, there was clearly no sense of sleepiness in his manner.

It was clear he had been feigning sleep just now, not wanting to pay attention to her.

Was she really that inferior in Chen Yan's heart?

Thinking of this, Wang Xinqian felt very dejected:

"I'm going to the Ce Suo."

This place was the entrance to the top of Qingshan, where merchants had built a hotel, and there were even SoulRefining Strong Ones of the Golden Body Realm stationed here for Suppression.

After parking the car, Liu Yu went into the hotel to register and pay the parking fee.

Jiang Lüfu had not made a sound, but after glancing at Chen Yan and Li Qingyuan, she felt a bit helpless.

Chen Yan did not mind; after all, he was acquainted with Wang Xinqian, so letting Liu Yu give them a ride was fine.

But what right did Li Qingyuan have?

Even if Liu Yu was strong, entering Qingshan with one extra companion meant one extra burden.

Chen Yan and Li Qingyuan, however, did not pay attention to Jiang Lüfu; they exchanged a look, it was time to leave.

It was also at this moment.

The Woman named Jiang Lüfu said with slight surprise:

"Are you leaving?"

"Mm, we have our own business," Li Qingyuan replied.

Jiang Lüfu bypassed Li Qingyuan and looked at Chen Yan:

"You are leaving too?"

"Mm, please say goodbye to Wang Xinqian and Liu Yu for me."

Jiang Lüfu was in Silence for a long while before speaking: "Liu Yu is the second of our Yigao, eleventh on the Heavenly Pride list, and I am twenty-sixth on the Heavenly Pride list.

Following us, at least you won't encounter danger."

If Li Qingyuan wanted to leave, she would not care.

But at a glance, Chen Yan was outstanding, and as he was also a good friend of Wang Xinqian, she did not want to see the other party encounter danger.

Simply put, Chen Yan's Appearance was outstanding, and as she was a Woman, she naturally liked him, just not good at expressing it.

"Mm."

Chen Yan gave a faint laugh, patted Li Qingyuan's Shoulder, and left.

"Qingshan is very dangerous. You are only a student of the County Town Martial Class; are you still not clear about your own strength?"

Jiang Lüfu grew anxious and hurriedly shouted.

But Chen Yan and Li Qingyuan left without even turning their heads.

"Arrogant!"

Jiang Lüfu gave a low hum, a flash of Disappointment crossing her eyes.

She had already warned them; it was Chen Yan who was seeking his own death.

They were going to Qingshan because Liu Yu and she were both strong, but what about Chen Yan?

Soon, Liu Yu, who had finished registering, returned.

"Where are Chen Yan and Li Qingyuan?" Liu Yu Frown.

"They left. I tried to persuade them, but they insisted on entering Qingshan themselves."

Liu Yu's Color changed slightly: "Did you say something to them?"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Lüfu said with dissatisfaction:

"I did originally intend to say something, but they were the ones who proposed leaving first."

Liu Yu fell into Silence for a long while, then opened his Mouth to say:

"Could it be a problem with your gaze? You probed the strength of Chen Yan and the other earlier, which perhaps made them feel resentment.

Everyone has their pride; they certainly wouldn't beg me to help them.

But Chen Yan is a friend of Wang Xinqian, so I would certainly help if I could; this didn't need to be stated explicitly."

Jiang Lüfu fell into Silence.
