26: Chapter 22 They are not as good as you 26: Chapter 22 They are not as good as you Su Chen remained impassive, but he couldn’t help guessing what on earth Mu Ziling needed.
He was not very familiar with Mu Ziling, neither in his previous life nor in this one.
“You’re a Martial Cultivator, right?” Mu Ziling stared into Su Chen’s eyes and said.
Su Chen nodded without denial.
His defeating Fang Ke with One Move was sothing only a Martial Cultivator could achieve.
Since Mu Ziling was a Martial Cultivator herself, her making such a judgnt was normal.
“Could you please be my boyfriend?” Mu Ziling asked again.
What?
Su Chen was stunned.
Shou Hou was stunned as well.
What?
That was totally unexpected!
Mu Ziling wasn’t playing by the rules at all!
“Don’t misunderstand, I just want you to pretend to be my boyfriend and accompany ho for a trip!” Mu Ziling’s face reddened slightly as she explained.
“A shield?” Su Chen understood right away.
However, he was well aware of Mu Ziling’s ho, the powerful Mu Family of the Martial Arts World.
Especially considering Mu Ziling’s grandfather, Su Chen didn’t believe he currently had the strength to venture into the Martial Arts World, let alone visit the Mu Family, so he had to refuse.
Inevitably, Su Chen shook his head.
“Why refuse?” Mu Ziling’s voice carried a tiny hint of urgency.
“The Martial Arts World—I’m not yet ready to go there, nor do I have the sufficient strength!” Su Chen replied honestly.
“The Martial Arts World?
What do you an?” Mu Ziling was bewildered, clueless about what Su Chen was talking about.
“I an Tianxuan Mountain!” Su Chen thought Mu Ziling was feigning ignorance, so he nad it directly.
In China, the location of the Martial Arts World is Tianxuan Mountain, a primitive mountain range far removed from cities and the secular world.
Deep in Tianxuan Mountain, there are many Martial Cultivation Families and hermit clans, as well as Sects with many years of Legacy.
Naturally, Tianxuan Mountain becos synonymous with the Martial Arts World.
“Tianxuan Mountain?” However, to Su Chen’s surprise, Mu Ziling remained puzzled after hearing the na Tianxuan Mountain, and he could tell that she wasn’t just pretending.
The next second, Mu Ziling earnestly said, “I’ve never heard of Tianxuan Mountain!”
“Where is your family from?” Su Chen was confused.
That’s not right!
It doesn’t add up at all!
“Yanxi City!”
“Yanxi City?” Su Chen grew even more puzzled.
Could it be that the Mu Ziling before him was not the sa person as the Mu Ziling from his previous life?
But it was undoubtedly the sa person!
What on earth was going on?
“Both my parents are from Yanxi City.
My family is also considered a large clan there, and I have grown up in Yanxi City since I was born!”
“Do you have a grandfather?” Su Chen suddenly thought of sothing; his eyes lit up as he asked.
“My dad once said that I have a grandfather, and he’s still alive, but who my grandfather is or where he is now, he has never told .”
Su Chen chuckled bitterly, understanding everything clearly now.
Mu Ziling truly was a mber of the Mu Family from the Martial Arts World, and she indeed was Old Man Mu’s granddaughter.
However, due to so special reason, Mu Ziling’s father—Old Man Mu’s son—must have left Tianxuan Mountain early on and moved to Yanxi City to settle down and establish himself there.
As a result, Mu Ziling had no idea that her grandfather was Old Man Mu from the Martial Arts World.
In his previous life, according to the passage of ti, it should have been another five years before Mu Ziling suddenly appeared in the Martial Arts World.
So it goes without saying, at this point in ti, Mu Ziling had absolutely no concept of the Martial Arts World, nor did she know what the Mu Family truly was, let alone about Old Man Mu.
“How did you beco a Martial Cultivator?” Su Chen thought for a mont and asked.
“My father made practice martial arts cultivation since I was little!
He taught everything!”
“I see,” Su Chen nodded, that made sense—Old Man Mu’s daughter, even if she left Tianxuan Mountain, how could she lack martial cultivation techniques?
Teaching them to his daughter was only to be expected.
Then, Su Chen continued, “You want to take back to Yan Xi City to et your parents and act as a shield, right?”
“Yes!”
“You’re not very old, just twenty-one or twenty-two, your parents shouldn’t be urging you to marry so soon, should they?”
“Indeed, they aren’t rushing marriage, but I have a fiancé!” Mu Ziling bit her lip before she admitted, “I’ve never t this fiancé of mine; he was fixed up for by my parents as a childhood engagent.
He will co to visit in three days.”
“Is your fiancé not outstanding?” Su Chen touched his nose.
“Outstanding, very outstanding.
Frankly speaking, not only is my fiancé a Martial Cultivator, but he also holds doctorates from three internationally renowned universities.
Moreover, he even owns a multinational corporation with personal assets of over ten billion!”
Su Chen was speechless.
How was that rely outstanding?
That was simply abnormal!
At the side, Shou Hou, although he had kept silent the whole ti, couldn’t help but feel a heavy blow upon hearing about Mu Ziling’s fiancé.
“So outstanding, yet you still disagree; could it be that this fiancé of yours is not good-looking, or is he too old?”
“No, I haven’t seen him in person, but, my parents say he’s very handso, and as for his age, he’s twenty-four this year, three years older than !” Mu Ziling answered earnestly.
“Then why do you refuse?” Su Chen muttered with a bitter smile, “Such an excellent man is hard to find even with a lantern.
Marrying him wouldn’t be too bad, right?”
Mu Ziling shook her head, “I aspire to martial arts cultivation.
I don’t want to marry too early, nor do I want to be burdened with a nonexistent fiancé!”
Su Chen kept quiet, recalling his past life when, indeed, Mu Ziling never had any scandals with any n nor got married.
In his past life, all the news about Mu Ziling was about her breaking through, who she had beaten?
Indeed, Mu Ziling was a true Female Martial Fanatic!
Besides, in his past life, Su Chen never heard about Mu Ziling having a fiancé, which suggested that she must have dealt with that issue even back then.
“Why are you asking for my help?”
“Because you are a Martial Cultivator, and also, you are very strong!” Mu Ziling revealed a smile, interpreting Su Chen’s question as an indication of his agreent.
“There are a few Martial Cultivators at Chengfeng University with pretty big reputations.
Why not ask them?”
“None of them compare to you!” Mu Ziling stared intently into Su Chen’s eyes, emphasizing each word.
“How did you co to that conclusion?” Su Chen was a bit puzzled.
Mu Ziling had an excellent eye!
“Although I’ve only t you once, within the whole Chengfeng University, you are the only one I can’t see through, and the only one who gives off a dangerous vibe.”
Once again, Su Chen fell silent, while Mu Ziling continued, “If you help get rid of this fiancé of mine, I can offer you a reward!”
“What reward?”
“Martial skills!”
“Don’t need them!” Su Chen imdiately shook his head, martial skills and cultivation techniques were the last things he was short of.
“What about this then?” Mu Ziling stared deeply at Su Chen, and after a mont, she pulled out a short sword from her sleeve and placed it on the table.
Calling it a short sword was technically correct, but in reality, it was more like a dagger.
About one foot long, half an inch wide, the sword was ink-purple throughout, with its scabbard carved with many exquisite patterns.
Furthermore, Su Chen could vaguely sense an extrely sharp and sowhat bloody aura emanating from the short sword.
“This sword is called Duanxuan!” Mu Ziling introduced, “In fact, this sword is an antique, my father said it’s a masterpiece by an ancient Forging Master, and it should be over a thousand years old by now.”
