Xiao Yaning suddenly had a strong feeling that the man before her must have a story.
In his heart, he couldn't be as bland or even as giggly as he appeared on the outside. Perhaps it was all just a disguise.
Xiao Yaning's eyes were fixed on Su Chen, as if trying to discern sothing.
Feeling a bit creeped out by her bright, watery gaze, Su Chen lit a cigarette and said earnestly,
"He was certainly subdued by my great personality. A profligate like him, under the radiance of my great personality, would have all his inner dark and hidden corners turned inside out. He had no choice but to bow his head in reverence, which shows that the guy was not beyond redemption."
"Did you see how he slapped his own face and wept bitterly afterward? It was truly moving. It shows that he truly repented," Su Chen said without noticing Xiao Yaning's disdainful look. Shaking his head, he added, "I guess I can be considered as 'saving souls' as the Buddha said."
"Su Chen, can I ask you sothing?"
Xiao Yaning asked out of the blue, and Su Chen nodded.
"Can you be even more shaless?"
Xiao Yaning sighed. Did this guy think everyone else was foolish? Did Long Xiaobin repent and show penitence? He was clearly frightened by you, wasn't he?
Of course, she understood that Su Chen didn't want to tell her the reason, so she didn't press further.
Xiao Yaning was a person who knew her boundaries and propriety. She wasn't that familiar with Su Chen yet.
However, what she didn't expect was for Su Chen to reply to her sowhat sarcastic question without any hesitation with one word— "Yes"!
.....
Since Su Chen ca with Lin Chao, he could only take a taxi when leaving.
After getting into the car, he dozed off in the back seat. The driver was a local from Jianghai and quite talkative. Addressing Su Chen as "young brother" and chatting, Su Chen responded intermittently.
Just as the car entered a sowhat secluded alley, Su Chen's eyes suddenly snapped open, as if shooting out sharp light.
"Driver, please stop the car," Su Chen called out, tapping the driver on the shoulder from behind.
"What's up, young brother?" the taxi driver asked, hitting the brakes and turning around.
"It's nothing, I just rembered that I have a friend nearby. Since I'm passing by, I might as well drop in for a visit."
"Where is it? Shall I give you a lift?"
"No need, it's just a few steps away. I'll walk over." Find more chapters on empire
"Alright then, that'll be 19 yuan."
Su Chen handed over a 20: "Keep the change, thanks," he said.
"What are you talking about; okay, I'm off then. It's getting late. Take care by yourself."
"Sure."
Stepping out of the cab, Su Chen waved at the driver, who accelerated away.
Turning his head, Su Chen's eyes suddenly grew cold, devoid of any warmth, as if originating from the Netherworld.
At that mont, Su Chen no longer bore any trace of the friendliness he had shown while speaking with the taxi driver.
"Now that you're here, show yourselves."
No sooner had he spoken than four people stood up from the bushes on either side, walking out confidently to stand in front of Su Chen.
All these people were dressed in specially made robes, so resembling practice attire and others like Taoist robes. Among them, three were wearing white robes, and one, who appeared to be the leader, was clad in a black robe, nearly impossible to see in the darkness.
"Kid, not bad with your ears, actually being able to detect our concealnt."
The leader in the black robe addressed Su Chen, feeling sowhat surprised inside. With their level of cultivation, it was ordinarily very hard for soone concealed amongst the trees to be discovered, let alone by average people; even ace scouts would hardly stand a chance.
Because they were all practitioners of Martial Arts, able to hide their presence and blend in with the world around them.
"Just with your Primary Stage Qi Refinent cultivation, discovering you poses no challenge," Su Chen remarked.
Of course, Su Chen had recognized they were Martial Arts practitioners as well; the three in white robes were at the First Layer of Qi Refinent, while the leader in black was at the second layer of the Qi Refinent Realm.
Upon hearing Su Chen's words, the group shuddered violently, unable to believe that the young man had discerned their cultivation levels at a glance.
This could only point to one fact, that the person before them was also a practitioner of Martial Arts!
This turn of events had indeed surprised them; it seed the situation was slightly more troubleso than they had anticipated.
Despite this, they weren't afraid. In their view, soone as young as their adversary could at most possess Primary Stage Qi Refinent, not much different from them.
But they were four to one, so although the situation proved a bit tricky, they were confident in capturing this young man.
"Who sent you here?"
With his hands casually tucked into his pockets, Su Chen asked indifferently.
"You don't need to know. All that matters is that today is the day you die," the man in the black robe said coldly, feeling slighted by Su Chen's cavalier attitude.
"Then let have a guess," Su Chen tilted his head slightly, "Is it that trash Wu Yuanpin who sent you?"
After arriving in Jianghai, Su Chen figured that among those he had provoked, probably only the Wu Family, as the head of the Four Great Families, had the clout to send four Martial Arts practitioners in one go.
It was sowhat surprising to Su Chen that the Wu Family had such deep resources; it seed there was good reason for the Four Great Families to have stood firm in Jiangnan for a hundred years.
Of course, in Su Chen's eyes, this was still nothing significant; leaving other factors aside, just any high-level action team from the Nether Temple could completely crush them.
"Dare to call our Young Master trash, you must be tired of living," one of the younger n in white robes said, glaring at Su Chen fiercely as he spoke.
"But what I said is the truth. Isn't he trash?" Su Chen looked disdainful as he curled his lip, "Not just him, in my eyes, all of you are nothing but trash."
"You're courting death!"
The young man who had just spoken suddenly stomped the ground, lunging at Su Chen like an arrow released from its bow.
The others didn't stop him, curious to see just how capable this arrogant youth was, speaking with such audacity.
The white-robed young man, when about two ters away from Su Chen, suddenly leapt into the air, lashing out with a precise snap kick towards Su Chen.
His leg was straight as a rod, ripping through the air, aiming directly at Su Chen!
His expertise in leg techniques was profound, the power of his kick fierce like thunder, stirring up a gust of wind wherever it passed.
In an instant, the formidable snap kick was less than half a ter in front of Su Chen's face.
Yet, at this mont, Su Chen's hands remained in his pockets, his expression serene.
The white-robed young man's companions all sneered inwardly at the young man's ignorance, not even attempting to dodge at this point, thinking he no longer had a chance.
