Zheng Dandan nodded and said affirmatively, “Of course, I believe in fate. I feel that accompanying you to Ox-Head Mountain this time was arranged by the heavens, deliberately letting me meet Lu Sheng here. This is our destiny.”
Lin Zishan frowned. She and Zheng Dandan were classmates in high school, and they had been best friends for four or five years, so they knew each other very well.
Zheng Dandan usually had a carefree and uncaring look on her face, and she often talked about “handsome” and “little puppy”, but in fact, she was a very pure person at her heart.
She would not fall in love with someone easily. From high school until now, Zheng Dandan had never been in a relationship.
Many people in school chased after her, but none of them caught her eye. This Zheng Dandan, in less than half a day, no less, actually fell in love with a high school student four years younger than her?! This was what made Lin Zishan feel the most incredulous.
“But don’t forget the difference between the two of you.”
Lin Zishan said seriously, “You’re a top student at Dongning University of Martial Arts, an official Level 1 Martial Artist. Lu Sheng is just a high school student. From the looks of it, he doesn’t come from a well-to-do background. Nor does look like someone who excels at the Martial Dao. If you two end up together, how will you get along? Long-distance relationship?
“Even if your relationship is deep enough to endure these few years in a foreign land, what about the future? He is not an official martial artist. After graduation, he could only earn a salary of five to six thousand yuan a month. Where will the house come from? Where will the car come from? Dandan, love isn’t just a momentary impulse. It’s the daily necessities of life …
“Moreover, as your martial prowess increases, the gap between the two of you will only grow larger. The contradictions will increase day by day, accumulate over time, and eventually explode one day.”
Zheng Dandan giggled and replied, “None of the problems you mentioned are problems. I am a Level 1 Martial Artist and can guide Lu Sheng. Even if he can’t get into Dongning University of Martial Arts, I can still take the bus to look for him every week. You know my family’s condition. A house and a car are not at all a problem to me.
“Taking a step back, even if Lu Sheng could only be an ordinary person, I could also be an ordinary person with him. I’ve never had much interest in martial arts. If it weren’t for my family forcing me to enter the same university as you, I wouldn’t have risked my life to cultivate. If I could be an ordinary person and not have to practice martial arts every day, I would be so happy. I feel like my calves have got thicker recently … Besides, who said our Lu Sheng is ordinary?”
Zheng Dandan shook her head and pointed at Lu Sheng, who was holding Nannan’s hand. She said proudly, “In my heart, he’ll always be so handsome and dazzling!”
Lin Zishan was dumbfounded.
“You’re crazy. You want to give up the martial arts you’ve been practising for more than ten years for a high school student?”
Lin Zishan reached out and touched Zheng Dandan’s forehead in shock. “If your parents hear this, they’d break your legs.”
“Sigh, I think it’s too early for you to worry.” Zheng Dandan grabbed Lin Zishan’s arm and strode forward.
“Let’s wait until I’ve won Lu Sheng’s heart before we talk about this!”
Neither Zheng Dandan nor Lin Zishan saw it.
In front of a small stall seven or eight meters away, Lu Sheng, who was holding Nannan and picking out handmade pendants, had a speechless expression on his face.
With his current strength, even if he did not release his spiritual power, he could hear their conversation clearly with his ears alone.
“This is ridiculous …” Lu Sheng could not help but shake his head and sigh.
Nannan, who was in his arms, turned around and looked at him. “Big brother, what do you mean by ridiculous?”
“Nothing …” Lu Sheng thought for a moment and casually said, “Just praising a big sister for being beautiful.”
“Oh.” Nannan nodded thoughtfully.
She suddenly turned around and pointed at Zheng Dandan and Lin Zishan who were walking towards them. She said loudly, “Big brother, these two big sisters are ridiculous!”
Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment before he smiled and nodded.
“Yes!”
Zheng Dandan and Lin Zishan were stunned, not knowing what had happened.
…
At the same time, on a highway hundreds of kilometres away from Immortal Forest Village, a limousine was speeding along.
Inside the luxurious car, a middle-aged man wearing a brown chequered suit was casually sitting in the passenger seat in the back.
The middle-aged man’s skin was snow-white and his temperament was cold. His eyes were a strange light purple colour, adding a bit of evil charm to his originally ordinary facial features.
In front of the man, a bottle of red wine was floating in the air, slowly pouring dark red wine into the wine glass.
If this scene was seen by ordinary people, they would probably exclaim—What a powerful magic show.
The half-filled glass of red wine automatically flew into the middle-aged man’s hand.
The middle-aged man picked up the wine glass and gently swirled it in front of his eyes. He sniffed the aroma of the wine and said, “How is it, have you found Tang Maolin’s whereabouts?”
There were two people kneeling in front of the middle-aged man. Both of them were tall and sturdy men. The muscles on their arms bulged the black suits.
“We have found him, at Qiuming City’s Ox-Head Mountain. Tang Maolin brought his wife and daughter, probably preparing to enter the mountain.”
One of the men in the suit replied with a respectful tone.
The middle-aged man frowned slightly. “Tang Maolin has a bit of a brain. If he really dives into the mountains and doesn’t come out, I really can’t do anything to him.”
“Don’t worry sir, we have already sent people to keep an eye on them. Even if he really wants to be a savage, I guarantee that we can accurately find which cave he is holed up in.” The burly man replied confidently.
The middle-aged man looked at the burly man with appreciation and nodded. “Well done, you just need to keep an eye on him. When I get to Ox-Head Mountain, I will do it myself. Although Tang Maolin is just a small fry, he is still a Level 2 Spiritual Master. You two Level 4 Martial Artists are no match for him.”
“Understood.”
“Tang Maolin, don’t blame me for being cruel …” The middle-aged man picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He said to himself, “You offended me this time, but I won’t kill you. Others will think that I, Wu Xijing, am easy to bully, and there will be more people who will offend me in the future, or even step on my head to shit and piss … So, I will have to trouble you and your family …”
The middle-aged man sighed softly. Strands of silvery white silk emerged from the cuffs of his suit.
They danced in the dim car, like spider silk spitting out from the mouth of a spider.
In front of him, the two men in suits looked more and more respectful as they lowered their heads.
