At the sa ti that Shen Qiang's feat of taking down a group of bounty hunters shocked the cultivation world, he was smiling as he shared a al with several won at De Yue Restaurant, though feeling quite helpless inside.
Shen Qiang had vaguely guessed that Wenren iqiao and Qin Yurou, the two beauties, were ready to compete with each other, but he didn't expect the situation to beco as incompatible as fire and water. Throughout the al, they either ignored each other or traded barbed comnts.
When won argue, it often boils down to words over actions, sarcastic smiles over eye rolls.
Then...
Back and forth, one sentence here, one sentence there, losing even half a sentence feels like a loss.
If they were at the Heshenghe Mountain Villa, such behavior would be strictly forbidden by Shen Qiang, and no one would dare act this way.
But the current situation was different.
Both Major General Wenren iqiao from the Dragon Group and the stunning school beauty Qin Yurou had sowhat ambiguous relationships with Shen Qiang, but not close enough to warrant intervention in their rivalry by Shen Qiang, who could only watch.
However, over the course of the al, Shen Qiang shrewdly noticed that although the beautiful Qin Yurou claid to be interested in Ye Guyun, in reality, she was closer to Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, having more common topics with her.
The perky girl, Ke Bizhu, although not very close with Wenren iqiao, was seemingly aligned with both Wenren iqiao and Ye Guyun.
Especially since, in their firm belief that at is justice, Wenren iqiao and Ye Guyun shared similar tastes and would eat any assortnt of fish and ats without hesitation. Without even a furrowed brow, they both maintained an appetite worthy of heroes.
Ke Bizhu, however, was sowhere in the middle.
She could eat at but also enjoyed vegetables.
The Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu and the elegant Qin Yurou preferred lighter, less greasy vegetable dishes.
This essentially left Shen Qiang out of the conversation.
Wenren iqiao and Ye Guyun were animatedly discussing all sorts of at.
The Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu and the serene Qin Yurou, anwhile, talked gracefully about light dishes and various floral arrangents.
This resulted in Shen Qiang being completely unable to get a word in edgewise, akin to a bystander along with the perky girl.
The perky girl Ke Bizhu gave Shen Qiang a look that said, "Heh, what a coincidence, you're just a bystander too."
With a glance at Ke Bizhu, Shen Qiang's eyes conveyed, "Don't talk, just eat, they're both not to be trifled with. Co, eat this bowl of rice to calm down."
Thus, while Qin Yurou and the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu were engrossed in their conversation, Wenren iqiao and Ye Guyun chatted happily.
anwhile, Shen Qiang and Ke Bizhu quietly ate their al, having no choice, wedged in between the two, as it sotis is, because you never know which word might suddenly upset soone.
Fortunately, this situation didn't last too long.
The first phone to ring was Wenren iqiao's; even though she chose to answer through an earbud and stepped outside, Shen Qiang could sense it was sothing important, related to her work with the Dragon Group.
To Shen Qiang's surprise, Wenren iqiao seed determined to best Qin Yurou, as after finishing her call, not only did she stay put, she returned and sat calmly eating at with Ye Guyun.
This left Shen Qiang, who had hoped that she would leave after the call, with only Qin Yurou and the perky girl Ke Bizhu, a bit disappointed.
And right at that mont.
Ke Bizhu's phone rang; with a glance, her eyes suddenly lit up, then she giggled, "It's... Senior Sister, it's Senior Brother Zong Zijin calling, he must want to know where we are."
"Don't answer," Qin Yurou said.
Ke Bizhu giggled, directly rejecting the call.
This left Shen Qiang, who had hoped that Wenren iqiao would stay but Qin Yurou would leave, disappointed once again.
"Ah, what a plight, next ti I definitely won't let the two of them appear together," Shen Qiang thought in despair.
But then, Ke Bizhu's phone kept ringing incessantly, all calls from Zong Zijin. For the first few tis, she hung up, but after a while, not only Ke Bizhu, but even Qin Yurou sensed sothing was amiss, Shen Qiang, with furrowed brows, said, "Ke Bizhu, answer it, it might be urgent, otherwise Zong Zijin wouldn't be calling non-stop."
Ke Bizhu pouted, "If it were urgent, he should have called Senior Sister."
Qin Yurou chuckled from the side, "I already blocked him, he can't reach ."
Upon hearing this, with an exasperated sigh, Ke Bizhu answered the call, and the voice from the phone made everyone present crack a helpless smile.
"Hey, are you Junior Sister Ke Bizhu of Zong Zijin? Listen up, this guy made posts online deceiving us to create trouble for our esteed elder Shen Qiang, and we nearly lost our lives because of it, so we taught him a simple lesson, he's at Racecourse Gate, co pick him up yourselves."
Ke Bizhu was stunned, then furious, "What did you do to him?"
"Oh, temperantal, aren't we? Little girl, I won't stoop to your level, listen up, he gave us collective diarrhea and scared us, so naturally, we won't go easy on this Zong Zijin. We didn't poison him, but we can beat the sh*t out of him."
"Everything's settled now, he's alive, only superficial injuries, whether you pick him up is up to you."
With that, the call ended abruptly.
Wenren iqiao burst into laughter at these words.
Ke Bizhu glared at her angrily, but as she did, she couldn't help but laugh herself.
"Serves him right, full of lies and deceit, retribution indeed."
Watching Ke Bizhu and Wenren iqiao laugh, Qin Yurou couldn't help but smile with her eyes, though she was, after all, the young master of dicine King Valley, and no matter how wrong Zong Zijin was, this involved the reputation of dicine King Valley, so she reluctantly stifled her laughter and stood up to say.
"Sorry, with such an incident concerning Zong Zijin, we can't ignore it, so we'll take our leave first." With that, Qin Yurou instructed Ke Bizhu, "Call 120, an ambulance is more suitable for him."
Seeing them finally leave, and instructing Ke Bizhu to see them off on his behalf, Shen Qiang could finally breathe a sigh of relief, as it would be easier to manage with just Wenren iqiao left, without having to tread so cautiously.
Looking at the suddenly composed and ladylike Wenren iqiao, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Wenren iqiao, thank you for your help today."
Hearing this, Wenren iqiao blushed slightly, a bit embarrassed, "Were you trying to embarrass on purpose? I didn't know you were that strong, otherwise, I wouldn't have rushed in and made a fool of myself."
